{{other|Yuqiang Subdistrict (disambiguation)}} '''Yuqiang''' ({{zh|禺强}}, alternatively '''Yujiang''' 禺疆 or '''Yujing''' 禺京), in Chinese mythology is one of the descendants of Huang Di, the "Yellow Emperor". Yuqiang was also the god of the north sea and a wind god. His father was Yuhao, another sea god. Some accounts (''Shanhaijing'' chapters 8 and 17) describe Yuqiang as having the body of a bird and the face of a human being, with a serpent mount for each foot that facilitated his travels.<ref>Yang, 245-246</ref>
