Here is the original text of the legend: http://www.buddhist-canon.com/history/T490962a.htm I don't think it is worth noting.
As a historical source, the legend of Dangun in Samguk Yusa is of no value. It was written at the end of the 13th century. The details are based on Chinese sources.
As a matter of convenience I didn't mention it at Dangun, but Samguk Yusa referred to him as King Ho (虎王) to avoid the use of the character 武, which was used in the name of someone noble (I don't remember). -- Nanshu 01:00, 26 Sep 2003 (UTC)
He's also an important figure in Chinese history. We need some help to expanding the article about him.
Could someone check the transliteration of the given name on the page? Right now it reads "fa1". - Rholton 02:02, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
This article obviously needs to be expanded. King Wu is a major figure since he founded the Zhou Dynasty, which ruled for longer than any other dynasty in Chinese history.
I recently read the Shu Ching (I think that's how it's spelled), which is the Book of Historical Documents, one of the Confucian classics. King Wu is an impportant figure in part of the text, when he leads his army against the Shang. He makes speeches to his army about the Mandate of Heaven, and how the Shang have abused the right to rule, making it neccesary to overthrow the dynasty. This is significant because this concept of gaining or losing the right to rule by virtue is a key Confucian concept, as well as one that has played a large part in Chinese history.
I guess I could add a little to this article based on what I read, but I think more knowledgeable people could do a much better job. --Anonymous
Perhaps some details could be added about the evidence for his age: 90 years before he acceded to the throne seems unlikely.-- Felix Folio Secundus ( talk) 05:10, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
星光下的人, Every entry for members of the Zhou family on WP states that the surname was Ji. Until you can provide a reference to back this change up or gain a concensus from other editors it should stay as it is. Philg88 ( talk) 22:27, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
Don't use them in the running text. Cf. NC-ZH, MOS-ZH, USEENGLISH, COMMONNAME, &c. — LlywelynII 17:30, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
The first edits to the page started with BC/AD, so that remains the convention. — LlywelynII 17:31, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Seriously, it's terrible; don't restore it. The semicolons make simplified characters and pinyin look like their own languages. The pinyin and Wade are badly formatted (one's italicized, one isn't). It generally wastes far too much space. All of this has been noted on the template's talk page, but the creator still has not fixed it, so we should just avoid its use in our articles. — LlywelynII 03:28, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
Sima Qian started using his regnal dates within Zhou as though he were the rightful king even before the battle of Muye, but had he established it as an era name? or was it a posthumous name or temple name granted by his descendants? or was it some kind of actual regnal name? We should be clear within the article, to the best of our ability, instead of using it anachronistically of him as a child.
Likewise, his father wasn't "King Wen" until the first meeting at the ford. — LlywelynII 03:28, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
There's a lot of detail regarding lineage but the rest is pretty barren. That there are very few references, seemingly no archaeological evidence of his existence, and being placed alongside two mythological figures (yk & yu), perhaps the article could address why we believe that he existed. 2604:CA00:16A:C52:0:0:260:730B ( talk) 08:32, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
