: from a character
in the name of Qiongsang, a place in present-day Shandong province. A
son of the legendary emperor Huang Di (26th century bc), Shao
Hao, also known as Jin Tianshi (see Jin) was enthroned at
Qiongsang. Some descendants adopted the second character of the place
name, Sang, as their surname. Another account of the source of the
name in this form derives it from the legendary emperor Shen Nong,
(2734–2697 bc), who was also referred to as Sangshui Shi.
