Footnotes

¹ Tuoba Family was the ruling family of Northern Wei Dynasty, founded by Tuoba Gui, Emperor Daowu. Hence Table of Northern Wei Dynasty will start with him, not as a continuation of this table.

² All chieftains were revered as emperors in Weishu and Beishi but they never were in reality. They were denoted here as 王 pinyin W�ng (literary meaning: King or Prince), which was inherited by all successors of Tuoba Yilu. Refer to Chinese nobility#wang for related information.

³ His temple name was Shizu (Chinese characters: 始祖, py. Sh�zǔ). Another column was not created since only he was the only chieftain before Tuoba Gui revered with a temple name.
