Shangdi
"Shang Di" is the pinyin romanization of two Chinese characters. The first  , Shàng  means "highest" and "first"; the second  , Dì    refers to the High God of Shang, thus means "deity" (manifested god), . Thus, the name Shangdi should be translated as "Highest Deity", but also has the implied meaning of "Primordial Deity" or "First Deity" in Classical Chinese. In the ancient books the shangdi is described with humanlike traits. He is also associated with the North Star.
