zhuanxu -lrb- chinese : trad .
, simp .
, pinyin `` zhuānxū '' -rrb- , also known as gaoyang -lrb- t , s , p `` gāoyáng '' -rrb- , was a mythological emperor of ancient china .
in the traditional account recorded by sima qian , zhuanxu was a grandson of the yellow emperor who led the shi clan in an eastward migration to present-day shandong , where intermarriages with the dongyi clan enlarged and augmented their tribal influences .
at age twenty , he became their sovereign , going on to rule for seventy-eight years until his death .
