Segun cuenta la leyenda, el puesto de liguan existe desde los remotos tiempos del emperador Yao.Como ya se ha dicho, la figura de liguan equivale a la de un juez, que se encargaba de resolver los litigios entre la gente y de aplicar sentencias justas.
Durante el periodo arcaico del emperador Yao, un antepasado de Zaofu, llamado Gaoyao, fue nombrado liguan.Este juez tenia unos rasgos fisicos muy particulares: su cara era de color verdoso y tenia la boca en forma de pico de pajaro.Por otro lado, hablaba de manera energica y firme.
