According to the legend, Shaodian (Chinese: 少典) (born 2679 BC) was the father of Huangdi (黄帝), the Yellow Emperor.[1] His own father was Lord Youxiong (有熊),[2] whilst Shaodian's wife was Fubao (有蟜). Fubao later gave birth to both Huangdi and Yandi.[3]
According to Discourses of the States, Shaodian was a stepfather of the Yellow Emperor:
- "Although Shaodian preceded the Yellow and Yan emperors, he was not their father."[4]
Lady Hua, the wife of Ye the Great and mother of Fei the Great (also known as Boyi), was said to be either his daughter or descendant.
