- Chinese_terms_for_God abstract "Chinese terms for God, especially a "Supreme God", have produced many variations for the title. The oldest records of the term Westerners translate as "God", "Most High God", "Greatest Lord" appear to exist in the earliest documents of Chinese literature as Shangdi (上帝, pinyin: Shàngdì, literally "Above Emperor"). This representation may be as old as 2000 BCE. However, as Chinese religion changed to incorporate later interpretations of Confucianism, Daoism, & Buddhism, the term seems to have merged, in the views of some philosophers, with an impersonal Tian, or Heaven, to produce the omnipotent omnipresent identity of "Huang Tian Shang Di" (皇天上帝) or "Xuan Tian Shang Di" (玄天上帝). In addition to a reuse of some of the traditional titles, transliterations and new constructions became used by the Chinese for the "God" of the Abrahamic tradition, rather than for the supreme being of traditional Chinese religion and mythology.".
