There is no doubt that Yao Zhou is not from the Yao family in Nan 'an, nor is he Yao's son. The Yao family of Leshan Hall, a collection of Tibetan sages in Shouxian County, is a descendant of General Long Xiang, Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty (BC 156 ~ 87). Yao (280-352) was born in Chiting, Nan 'an (now Longxi County, Gansu Province). From the end of the Western Jin Dynasty to the early stage of the Five Lakes and Sixteen States, the leaders of the Qiang nationality in Nan 'an were descendants of Zhao Han, Houzhao and Dongjin. Yao was also the father of Yao Chang, the founding monarch in the late Qin Dynasty. The age gap between the two is huge, reaching more than 200 years old! If it's a father and son, it won't last long. Yi Zhong in this spectrum is another person, which needs further study! View original post >>
