	'''Shao Jun''' is a name in the {{~~wiki~~\|Mandarin Chinese}} language. In accordance with Chinese naming custom, the surname is Shao and the personal name is Jun. However, there has been major discrepancies in regards to the name, owing to it having been selected in English without prior reference to actual {{~~wiki~~\|Chinese characters}}, also known as ''hanzi''. Essentially, a {{~~wiki~~\|Mandarin Chinese\|Mandarin}}-sounding name was chosen as opposed to a real Mandarin name, leaving Chinese, Korean, and Japanese translators to then figure out on their own the name that would correspond to how it sounds.		'''Shao Jun''' is a name in the {{Wiki\|Mandarin Chinese}} language. In accordance with Chinese naming custom, the surname is Shao and the personal name is Jun. However, there has been major discrepancies in regards to the name, owing to it having been selected in English without prior reference to actual {{Wiki\|Chinese characters}}, also known as ''hanzi''. Essentially, a {{Wiki\|Mandarin Chinese\|Mandarin}}-sounding name was chosen as opposed to a real Mandarin name, leaving Chinese, Korean, and Japanese translators to then figure out on their own the name that would correspond to how it sounds.

	Compounding this problem is the initial mispronunciation of Shao Jun's name in her debut appearance in ''Embers''. The spelling is reflective of the {{~~wiki~~\|pinyin\|Hanyu Pinyin}} romanization system of Mandarin that is standard in the {{~~wiki~~\|People's Republic of China}}. From its spelling, it should be pronounced {{~~wiki~~\|Help:IPA/Mandarin\|/ʂau̯.tɕyn/}}, which in turn can be best approximated into {{~~wiki~~\|English language\|English}} as {{~~wiki~~\|Help:IPA/English\|/ˈʃaʊ.ˈdʒuːn/}} (i.e. "shao-joon").<ref>{{Cite web\| url=https://chinesevoyage.org/pinyin-course-lesson-3-6-basic-vowels-jqx/ \|title=How to pronounce j?\| date=23 June 2024\| publisher=''chinesevoyage.org''\| accessdate= 2 Jul 2024}}</ref>		Compounding this problem is the initial mispronunciation of Shao Jun's name in her debut appearance in ''Embers''.

	However, her name is pronounced in ''Embers'' as /ˈjuːn/ (i.e. "yoon") by Ezio Auditore and Sofia Sartor alike, with Jun even affirming to Sofia that her pronunciation is correct. The characters pronounce the ⟨j⟩ as an English ⟨y⟩, as it would be in most {{~~wiki~~\|Germanic languages}} and in the {{~~wiki~~\|International Phonetic Alphabet}}. This is incorrect because the ⟨j⟩ in the Pinyin system represents a Mandarin phoneme that corresponds closest to the English ⟨j⟩.<ref>{{Cite web\| url=https://www.yoyochinese.com/chinese-learning-tools/Mandarin-Chinese-pronunciation-lesson/pinyin-chart-table \|title=Yoyo Chinese Pinyin Chart\| date=7 April 2017\| publisher=''Yoyo Chinese Inc.''\| accessdate= 29 March 2019}}</ref> Shao Jun should be pronounced in English exactly as it is spelled.

	The mistake initially appeared to have been rectified in ''Assassin's Creed III'' and the standard release of ''Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China'', where the characters pronounce the name correctly with the English ⟨j⟩, yet this did not resolve the issue because already in the Chinese language edition of ''Embers'', Shao Jun's name was given as '''邵雲 (Shào Yún)'''.

	The three main variations for Shao Jun's name are 邵雲 (Shào Yún), 邵君 (Shào Jūn), 少芸 (Shǎo Yún).		The three main variations for Shao Jun's name are 邵雲 (Shào Yún), 邵君 (Shào Jūn), 少芸 (Shǎo Yún).

	Shào (邵) is one of the most common surnames of that pronunciation. It originates from the name of an ancient Chinese state and is largely meaningless. Shǎo (少) simply means 'little [of something]', 'small', or 'junior'. This surname was recorded in the [[Tang dynasty]] (618–907) {{~~wiki~~\|Yuanhe Xingzuan\|''Yuánhé Xìngzuǎn'' 《元和姓纂》}}. However, since the [[Song dynasty]] (960–1279), the name has disappeared from all known records of Chinese family names. Because of this, Shǎo (少) appears to be an anachronistic surname for the Ming dynasty (1368–1644).		Shào (邵) is one of the most common surnames of that pronunciation.

	As for the variants of her given name, Yún (雲; {{~~wiki~~\|Simplified Chinese characters\|simplified}}: 云) means 'cloud'. Jūn (君) is a common female name that literally means 'monarch' or 'ruler' and is used to translate the English title 'lord', therefore carrying the connotations of an 'honorable' or 'noble person'.

After the brief discussion, Ezio and Shao Jun prepared to return to the villa. On the way back however, the two were intercepted by an Imperial soldier in an alleyway. Despite the ambush, Shao Jun managed to kill the soldier with her Hidden Footblade and quickly fled the city with Ezio.

	Shao Jun was born with a gift of stealth and agility that made her stand out from all the other concubines. Her talent for killing was as graceful as it was efficient, and the Master used to refer to her style as a "dance of death". She was extensively trained in combat by the Order, and was an adept and agile fighter. Her fighting style was heavily reminiscent of the Chinese martial art of {{Wiki\|Chinese martial arts#Wushu\|Wushu}}, which involves ample flexibility and knowledge in both unarmed and sword combat.<ref name="Embers"/>		Shao Jun was born with a gift of stealth and agility that made her stand out from all the other concubines.
