- The Shangyang (商羊), (or shang yang) in Chinese mythology was a rainbird (i.e. it could predict rain). It was one of several important mythical birds in this tradition. The Shangyang was particularly associated with the Lord of Rain, Yu Shi. Once the Shangyang was supposed to have visited the royal court at Qi, where it performed a dance upon its one leg, whereupon an embassy was sent inquire of the meaning of this event to Confucius in the neighboring state of Lu: the Shangyang was known to Confucius, who predicted imminent heavy rain and advised the digging of drainage and the raising of dikes. As a result of following the sage's advise, Qi was spared calamity due to the ensuing inundation, whereas the other states who did not heed the advice were heavily damaged. This legendary incident has been often used to illustrate the folly of those who refuse to heed the words of the wise. Mythographer Lihui Yang associates Yu Shi with the Bi Fang bird, instead. (en)
- De shangyang is in de Chinese mythologie een fabeldier, dat dient als verklaring voor de waterkringloop. Shangyang, 商羊, betekent letterlijk: "regenvogel". Het is een Chinese vogel met één poot, die de zee leegdrinkt en het water als regen uitspuwt. Het dier kan zijn eigen grootte veranderen. In sommige legendes voert de shanyang een dans uit op één poot die dan zware regen en overstromingen voorspelt. In 2019 werd een echte, uitgestorven, vogel naar het fabeldier vernoemd: de Shangyang.
