Great Khans and Yuan dynasty
Before Kublai Khan announced the dynastic name "Great Yuan" in 1271, Khagans (Great Khans) of the Mongol Empire (Ikh Mongol Uls ) already started to use the Chinese title of Emperor (Chinese : 皇帝 ; pinyin : Huángdì ) practically in the Chinese language since Genghis Khan (as 成吉思皇帝 ; 'Genghis Emperor').
With the establishment of the Yuan dynasty in 1271, the Kublaids became Yuan emperors, who took on a dual identity of Khagan for the Mongols and Huangdi for ethnic Han .
