Fear God
敬畏上帝 is probably the best way to translate the Christian English phrase “Fear God” into Chinese.
The first two characters mean to revere, be in awe of, or a general term of reverence. It can mean fear, but only in the context of respect or fear of authority.
Scarecrow
案山子 is a Japanese word that means scarecrow.
Colloquially, this can also refer to a figurehead within a corporation (stands tall with authority but has no backbone or power).
This can also be the Japanese given name Kagashi or the female given names Kakashi, Anzanshi, or Anzanko.
Sometimes the title 鳥威し is used for scarecrows in Japan, but 案山子 is far more common.
Smriti
傳承 is a Chinese and Japanese word that means to pass on (to future generations).
This can also mean passed on (from former times), a continued tradition, handing down (information), legend, tradition, folklore, transmission, or an inheritance.
傳承 is the Chinese equivalent of Smriti (from Sanskrit: स्मृति / Smṛti). The term can be used for Hindu (and sometimes Buddhist) texts that have authority because the author is known.
Emperor
皇帝 means emperor in Chinese, Japanese, and old Korean.
From times of old, the emperors of Asia ruled under the authority of God himself. One definition of an emperor is a ruler put in power by God. This definition separates emperors from the various kings in Chinese history (although defining who is a king versus an emperor gets vague sometimes).
Occasionally, the emperor's wife was widowed, and she took the role of an empress until her death (see our entry for empress if that is what you are looking for).
