Shaohao
Shaohao (. Compare , an epithet of
Fuxi.}}), also known as
Jin Tian (), was a legendary Chinese sovereign, usually identified as a son of the
Yellow Emperor. According to some traditions, such as that within the ''
Book of Documents'', Shaohao is one of the
Five Emperors. His place in the mythical lineage of the Yellow Emperor has been subject to controversy. Members of the 19th–20th century
Doubting Antiquity School of historians posited that Shaohao was added to the orthodox succession legend by
Liu Xin as part of a politically motivated campaign revising ancient texts .
