Li Xiong

Li Xiong (李雄) (274–334), courtesy name Zhongjuan (仲雋), also known by his posthumous name as the Emperor Wu of Cheng (Han) (成(漢)武帝), was the first emperor of the Ba-Di-led Cheng-Han dynasty and commonly regarded as its founder (although some historians date Cheng-Han's founding to Li Xiong's father Li Te). Li Xiong's declaration of himself as the Prince of Chengdu in 304 (and thus, independence from Jin dynasty) is commonly regarded as the start of the Sixteen Kingdoms era. The ''Book of Jin'' describes Li Xiong as a beautiful-looking and courageous man who was over two meters tall. Provided by Wikipedia
