Danzhu [SEP] father
Danzhu
Danzhu (丹朱) was the son of the legendary Chinese Emperor Yao (Tang Yao). His mother was a concubine,San Yi.
He was described as vicious and a playboy, and his father Yao is said to have invented the game of "Weiqi" to favorably influence him. Various stories have him either banished, executed, or attempting (and failing) to kill his father. It was said that "those who had to try a lawsuit did not go to Danzhu, but to Shun
the throne to him, but in vain." It was at this point that Shun invested Danzhu with Tang. However, an alternative account elsewhere in the Annals holds that Shun dethroned and imprisoned Yao, raising Danzhu to the throne for a short time before seizing it himself.
Despite the fact that Danzhu did not succeed his father in most historical accounts, Danzhu is referred to with the title 帝 (Di, Emperor) in Zhou writings.
