Emperor Tjang (Shinasthana: 章皇帝, tjang-gwang-têgh; Nov. 15, 1813 – May 24, 1864) was Emperor of Themiclesia from 1857 to his death in 1864, succeeding his nephew Emperor Muk and succeeded by his younger brother, Emperor Mjen. The court having become accustomed to a silent monarch during the child-emperor Muk's reign, Tjang did not resurrect the monarch's political role. He preferred private pursuits to affairs of state, and his withdrawal is though by many scholars to have allowed parliamentary democracy to become more independent from the monarch. The cause for Tjang's death in 1864 was never announced, but rumours of syphillis or addiction circulated widely amongst the public.
