To most Americans of European descent, the name Chiwoo Cheonwang (in China, Chiyou [蚩尤]) may have little meaning. But to Chinese and Korean citizens it holds a significance comparable to Achilles in the Western world.
Chiwoo was a tribal leader of the Nine Li tribe in ancient China. He is best known for his leadership in battles against the man who would become the Yellow Emperor during what is known as the legendary Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors era of Chinese history. Chiwoo is also recognized as the 14th head of Shinshi, the first Korean state. Also worshipped as the God of War, Chiwoo’s story tells of many exploits that can only be described as mythological. It is said during his epic battles against the Yellow Emperor's forces, he breathed out a thick fog to obscure the sunlight and conjured storms.
