Shaohao
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shaohao (少昊) is credited by some as being one of the Five Emperors of ancient Chinese mythology.
The son of the Yellow Emperor Huang Di, Shaohao is the leader of the Yi people, where he shifted their capital to Shandong Qufu. Ruling for eighty-four years, he is succeeded by his nephew Zhuanxu.
Shaohao's tomb, which is in the form of a large pyramid, is in present-day Jiuxian ("old prefecture") village, east of Qufu, Shandong province.
