Era of Confucius，this feeling was in character of 天 already.
But meaning of God seems did not bind clearly to character of 天.
・・・・・・・・・
Little aside from this.
The emperor of the country where the sun rises will send a messenger to the emperor of the country where sun goes down."
This Japanese sovereign letter to the Sui Dynasty.
"Two sun never ascended on the same day.
As well，two kings never exist on the same day."
It would be very rude from this thought.
Of course，this messenger visited the Sui on 607 AD.
It's episode of the 1000 destination.
And the emperor of the Sui seems did not mind so much at that time.
Following year，he is sent messengers of return to Japan.
Note: "The country where the sun rises.
The country where sun goes down.
So the sun is one.
And we visited the Sui first."
Just maybe，there was a refuge of rhetoric at here.
・・・・・・・・・
It's "皇帝"，if we write "The Emperor" in Chinese characters. (Kōtei)
This is a formal designation of the emperor.
Around 220 BC，this word was created by Qin Shi Huangdi.
(The first emperor of China)
By the way，"Emperor of Japan" is "天皇". (Ten'nō)
"Emperor who rule all things."
This seems to be this sense originally.
This word is also a word of Chinese originally of course.
Just this time，it seems began to be used as the official name of the king of Japan.
Third emperor of The Tang dynasty following the Sui dynasty.
There seems to be that he was referred to as 天皇.
This is the only example in China.
・・・・・・・・・
Incidentally 10 years after，the Sui dynasty perish.
But messenger of return of the Sui dynasty.
He has a successful career in the Tang dynasty.
Dynasty perish.
But its officials survive.
(Although this is natural.)
