Danzhu

Danzhu

Danzhu (丹朱) was the son of 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.[1] Various stories have him either banished, executed, or attempting (and failing) to kill his father.[1]
