Li Xiong
Li Xiong (李雄) (274–334),
courtesy name Zhongjuan (仲雋), also known by his
posthumous name as the
Emperor Wu of Cheng (Han) (成(漢)武帝), was the first
emperor of the
Ba-Di-led
Cheng-Han dynasty and commonly regarded as its founder (although some historians date Cheng-Han's founding to Li Xiong's father
Li Te). Li Xiong's declaration of himself as the Prince of Chengdu in 304 (and thus, independence from
Jin dynasty) is commonly regarded as the start of the
Sixteen Kingdoms era. The ''
Book of Jin'' describes Li Xiong as a beautiful-looking and courageous man who was over two meters tall.
