Also known as Tang Yao (2358 - 2258 BC)

Also known as Tang Yao (2358 - 2258 BC)

Often extolled as the morally perfect sage-king, Yao’s benevolence and diligence served as a model to future Chinese monarchs and emperors. Early Chinese often speak of Yao, Shun and Yu as historical figures, and contemporary historians believe they may represent leader-chiefs of allied tribes who established a unified and hierarchical system of government in a transition period to the patriarchal feudal society. In the Book of History, (aka the Classic of History) one of the Five Classics, the initial chapters deal with Yao, Shun, and Yu.  Of his many contributions, Yao is said to have invented the game of Go.  Wiki
