Yang Yande (original) (raw)

Yang Yande (Chinese: 楊延德; pinyin: Yáng Yándé) is a fictional character in the Generals of the Yang Family legends, the fifth eldest son of Song Dynasty general Yang Ye. In these largely fictionalized stories, he survived the battle against the Liao Dynasty army that killed his father, and left to become a Buddhist monk. He is also known as Yang Wulang (楊五郎) which means "5th son," and is a nickname rather than an official given name.
