I’ve read that there are many Chinese poems lamenting the green eyes of the (Han) Chinese Emperors.

“Emperors”?

If you dont have any clue just dont say anything.

First, there were no Chinese han “emperors” with green eyes,there is just one king who get a green eye in our several thousand years long history.

And its definitely not the Han emperor,its the three-kingdoms era king who got the green eys, he is the king of one small kingdom, Wu at that time.

His name is Sun Quan, he is the second son of Sun Jian, the founder of Wu.

The reason why he has a green eye is because his mother is cacuasian, so he is a mixed blood, as the historical documents have well documented.

I will add (again) that I visited the clay soldiers from the tombs in Xian 25 years ago and noted that some of them bore Caucasian features. They looked like Turks to me. I know these are just statues, but they are very realisitc and they are all different. It was thought that they were representations of the Emporor’s actual army.
