According to the
Records of the Grand Historian by
Sima Qian, the
Yellow Emperor had twenty-five sons, two of the known ones who were born to
Leizu, the eldest son
Shaohao, and the second son Changyi. In the 29th year of the Yellow Emperor, Leizu gave birth to Changyi near
Ruoshui (). In the 77th year of the Yellow Emperor, Changyi came to live at
Sichuan by the Ruoshui. Later, Changyi married Changpu (), also named as Jingpu (), of the Shushan clan. Jingpu gave birth to a son,
Gaoyang. Later, Changyi moved north to the
Central Plains, and found the Changyi City () (on the present day
Leshanbei,
Henan). Upon the passing of his father the Yellow Emperor, his brother
Shaohao was said to have never actually reigned as king, according to the
Records of the Grand Historian. Rather, Changyi's son Gaoyang was chosen as the tribe's new leader, with the regnal name of Zhuanxu. Changyi is also said to have a son called Hanliu () in the
Classic of Mountains and Seas. ==References==
