Editing Jiang Qing (section)

=== English names ===
In English, many contemporary articles used the [[Wade–Giles]] romanisation system to spell Chinese names. For this reason, some sources – especially older ones – spell her name "Chiang Ch'ing", while newer sources use [[Pinyin]] and spell her name "Jiang Qing".<ref>{{cite web |last=Keyser |first=Catherine H. |title=Guide to Pronouncing Romanized Chinese (Wade-Giles and Pinyin) |url=http://afe.easia.columbia.edu/special/china_1000bce_language.htm |accessdate=15 April 2021 |website=Columbia University |archive-date=12 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210412193106/http://afe.easia.columbia.edu/special/china_1000bce_language.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> She was also known as Madame Mao, as the wife and widow of Mao Zedong.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Carter |first=James |date=2021-05-19 |title=The death of Jiang Qing, a.k.a., Madame Mao |url=https://thechinaproject.com/2021/05/19/the-death-of-jiang-qing-a-k-a-madame-mao/ |access-date=2024-11-27 |website=The China Project |language=en-US |archive-date=13 April 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240413231203/https://thechinaproject.com/2021/05/19/the-death-of-jiang-qing-a-k-a-madame-mao/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Yet, the Chinese usually keep their [[maiden name]] after getting married, so her surname remains unchanged in Chinese.<ref name=":1" />
