Wikidata names him Shi Jin. The same materials also give the nickname Nine Dragons, the star name Tianweixing, and the other form Shi Dalang. None of those replaces the title. This entry calls him a Water Margin figure, sets the story in the Great Song, and records his birthplace as Huayin county. He is the first of the hundred and eight to appear.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## Shi manor He is the son of Shi Taigong of Shi manor in Huayin county. Nine dragons are tattooed on his body, so he is called Nine Dragons, and his favorite weapon is a three-point, two-edge knife. His father hired many teachers. Li Zhong, the tiger-slaying general of Liangshan, was one of the early ones. Wang Jin, an instructor of the eight hundred thousand imperial guards at the eastern capital, offended Gao Qiu and fled the capital with his mother. He lodged at Shi manor, pointed out the gaps in Shi Jin's skill, and beat him easily in a bout. Shi Jin then took Wang Jin as his teacher. After several months Wang Jin said the teaching was complete. He would not involve the Shi family in his quarrel with Gao Qiu, and he left.[^zhwiki] ## Shaohua Mountain Chen Da, a chief of Shaohua Mountain, attacked Shi manor and was captured. His sworn brothers Zhu Wu and Yang Chun came to plead. Shi Jin released Chen Da, and the four became friends. A messenger later got drunk on the mountain path. The hunter Li Ji stole the reply and reported Shi Jin to the authorities for dealing with bandits. The troops sent to seize him were beaten off by Shi Jin and the manor men he had trained. After the officers were killed he left to find Wang Jin and could not. On the road he met Lu Zhishen and also Li Zhong, who was performing in the street. With Lu Zhishen he defeated Cui Daocheng and Qiu Xiaoyi, bandits pretending to be monks. After they parted, Shi Jin went back to Shaohua Mountain and became an outlaw.[^zhwiki] ## Joining Liangshan When he heard that Wang Yi's daughter had been taken by force in marriage, he tried to save her and was captured alive. Lu Zhishen, newly arrived on Liangshan, went to rescue him and was captured too. Song Jiang disguised himself as Marshal Su and brought Lu Zhishen, Shi Jin, and Wang Yi out. Wang Yi's daughter had already killed herself. Shi Jin then took the Shaohua men up to Liangshan. At the attack on Dongping, because his old lover, the famous courtesan Li Ruilan, was in the city, he volunteered to enter as a spy and told her the whole plan. Afraid of the trouble, she informed the officials and he was arrested. He was beaten and did not confess. After Liangshan took the city and freed him, he killed Li Ruilan's whole household. When the seats were ranked he was Tianweixing, Nine Dragons, number twenty-three, immediately after Li Kui.[^zhwiki] ## The end, and earlier lists After the amnesty he followed Song Jiang against Liao, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing. He fought Tian Hu's general Bian Xiang for thirty bouts without a winner. In the southern campaign against Fang La he took Runzhou and cut down Shen Gang, called the Pillar of Heaven, with one blow. At Yuling Pass in Muzhou he died under an arrow of Pang Wanchun, called the Little Yang Youji. Pang Wanchun was later captured, and his belly was opened and his heart taken out as a sacrifice to Shi Jin and six other generals. In earlier lists, Gong Kai's Eulogies of Song Jiang's Thirty-Six ranks him seventeenth, still as Nine Dragons, and the Anecdotes of the Xuanhe Reign ranks him fifth of the thirty-six. The article also says one account takes his model to be Shi Bin, a Shaanxi rebel of the early Southern Song who had once served under Song Jiang. The article lists screen performers.

Wikidata names him the Ziwei Emperor. The full title is the Great Emperor of the Purple Tenuity of the North Pole in the Central Heaven. That is a ritual title, not a separate personal name. The cited article gives several origins that do not agree, so the heading stays the Ziwei Emperor. This entry lists him among the figures of Journey to the West. The encyclopedia does not narrate an episode from that novel.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## The god He is one of the Four Sovereigns and the second son of Doumu, the star lord of the Purple Forbidden enclosure. Daoism places that enclosure at the center of the stars. He assists the Jade Emperor in charge of the stars, the sun, and the moon, and is lord of the stars. He is also a symbol of earthly emperors and especially governs the fortune of the imperial house. His four sage-lords are [[person_cn_q10022741|Marshal Tianpeng]], Marshal Tianyou, the Assisting Sage, and the Protecting Sage. In Chinese Buddhism, Chan and Tiantai temples sometimes honor him as one of the twenty-four heavenly guardians.[^zhwiki] ## Accounts that do not agree One account calls him a transformation of the Most High Lord Lao. The article quotes the Treatise on Buddhism and Daoism in the Book of Wei: the Daoist school says it comes from Laozi, who dwells above in the Jade Capital as the ancestor of divine kings and below in the Purple Tenuity as lord of flying immortals. The novels also differ. Investiture of the Gods enfeoffs Boyi Kao, killed while trying to save his father King Wen of Zhou, as the Ziwei Emperor. Annals of the Sword of the Peak has Sun Bin, in order to break the Hundun formation, summon Liu Bang, then a standard-bearer of the state of Han and said to be a reincarnation of the Ziwei Emperor of the North Pole. These accounts do not yield one personal name.[^zhwiki] ## Basic facts - Divine title: Ziwei Emperor[^wikidata] - Full title: Great Emperor of the Purple Tenuity of the North Pole in the Central Heaven[^zhwiki] - Description: one of the Four Sovereigns of Daoism[^wikidata] - Listed on this entry under: [[work_cn_q70784|Journey to the West]] /people/ziwei-emperor.html en zh en Character in Journey to the West true mythological figure person_cn_q1048253 person yang-biao 杨彪

Wikidata's simplified Chinese label is Yang Biao, and the English label is Yang Biao. The cited article gives his courtesy name as Wenxian and his home as Huayin in Hongnong. The courtesy name does not replace the title. He belonged to the Yang clan of Hongnong. From Yang Zhen to Yang Biao, four generations served as grand commandant. His son was Yang Xiu. This entry dates him from 142 to 225, records his realm as Cao Wei, and records him as a political figure.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## Family and early office The article traces a distant ancestor, Yang Xi, as a fierce general under Emperor Gao of Han, and an ancestor Yang Chang as chancellor under Emperor Zhao, Marquis of Anping, who married a daughter of Sima Qian. It also says Yang Bao once saved a yellow sparrow and was repaid with a jade ring. As a youth Yang Biao was shaped by the family learning. He was first recommended as filial and incorrupt, the province then recommended him as an abundant talent, and the offices summoned him. He declined all of these. In the Xiping years he was called in as a gentleman-consultant because of his knowledge of old records. With Ma Midi, Cai Yong, Lu Zhi, Han Shuo, and others he continued the Han Record of the Eastern Lodge, and he became palace attendant and governor of the capital district. In the second year of Guanghe (179) the yellow-gate prefect Wang Fu had his clients extort more than seventy million from the commanderies. Yang Biao exposed it to Yang Qiu, colonel-director of retainers. Yang Qiu memorialized, and Wang Fu was killed. Yang Biao then served again as palace attendant and leader of the five offices, governed Yingchuan and Nanyang, and passed through palace attendant, steward of the Yongle palace, coachman, and commandant of the guards. In the sixth year of Zhongping (189) he replaced Dong Zhuo as minister of works, and that winter replaced Huang Wan as minister over the masses.[^zhwiki] ## The move of the capital, and the flight In the first year of Chuping (190) the east of the passes rose against Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo planned to move the capital to Chang'an and cited the Stone Bundle prophecy. The officials dared not speak. Yang Biao said a move was a great matter, that after Wang Mang's chaos almost no one in Guanzhong had survived, and that to abandon the temples and tombs for no cause would shake the people. He called the prophecy a deviant book. Dong Zhuo changed color. The grand commandant Huang Wan supported Yang Biao. Xun Shuang, minister of works, saw that Dong Zhuo would not bend, agreed aloud, and privately told Yang Biao that further argument would bring disaster. On the fifth day of the second month Dong Zhuo had Xuan Fan, colonel-director of retainers, cite omens and memorialize the dismissal of Huang Wan, Yang Biao, and others. In the third month of the second year of Xingping (195), Li Xian, a nephew of Li Jue, surrounded the palace with several thousand men to seize Emperor Xian. Yang Biao said emperors had never lived in a minister's house. Li Xian would not listen, and Yang Biao went with the emperor. The emperor sent him and the ministers to Guo Si's camp to urge peace. Guo Si held Yang Biao, Zhang Xi, Zhu Jun, Shisun Rui, Han Rong, and others as hostages. Yang Biao said to his face that one man seizing the emperor and another taking the ministers hostage could not be allowed. Guo Si meant to kill him. Yang Biao answered that if Guo Si would not serve the emperor, he himself need not seek to live. The leader of court gentlemen Yang Mi persuaded Guo Si to stop. After the emperor returned to Luoyang, Yang Biao acted as prefect of the masters of writing.[^zhwiki] ## Last years In the first year of Jian'an (196) he followed Emperor Xian to Xu. At a banquet Cao Cao saw that his face was unhappy, pleaded illness, and returned to camp. In the ninth month Yang Biao was dismissed for illness. After Yuan Shu took the imperial title in Huainan, Cao Cao, because Yang Biao was Yuan Shu's kin, jailed him on a charge of plotting with Yuan Shu to depose the emperor. Kong Rong went to protest before he could put on court dress, saying the Yang house had four generations of pure virtue and could not be condemned for the Yuans. Man Chong, prefect of Xu, who conducted the interrogation, told Cao Cao that no proof had been beaten out of him and that killing so famous a man without proof would lose the people's hearts. Cao Cao released him. The article says he was again made minister of ceremonies in the fourth year of Jian'an, dismissed in the tenth year, and stripped of his nobility the next year. Seeing the Han about to fail, he claimed a cramp in the leg and stayed at home. After Cao Cao killed his son Yang Xiu, Cao Cao asked why he was so thin. Yang Biao said he was ashamed not to have had Jin Midi's foresight in killing his own son, and that he still had an old cow's care for its calf. Cao Cao's expression changed. After Cao Pi became emperor he wanted Yang Biao as grand commandant. Yang Biao said he had already been one of the Han three excellencies, was old and ill, and could not take office under the new dynasty. Cao Pi made him grand master of splendor and specially advanced, treated him as a guest, gave him a longevity staff and an armrest, and allowed a deer-skin cap. Yang Biao declined and came in a plain robe and leather cap. Cao Pi also set a barrier and clerks at the Yang house. Yang Biao died in the fifth year of Huangchu (225), at the age of eighty-four.[^zhwiki] ## Basic facts - Name: Yang Biao[^wikidata] - Courtesy name: Wenxian[^zhwiki] - Dates recorded on this entry: 142–225[^wikidata] - Realm recorded on this entry: Cao Wei; the article calls him a minister of the late Eastern Han[^wikidata][^zhwiki] - Occupation recorded on this entry: political figure[^wikidata] - Portrayal: [[person_cn_q123596396|Yang Biao]] (a character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms) /people/yang-biao.html en zh en 142 142 225 225 historical figure person_cn_q10508618 person ying-er 莺儿

This entry records her as a maidservant, and the story is set in the dynasty of the novel.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## Chapter 7 She first appears in chapter 7. Mrs. Zhou goes into the inner room and sees Xue Baochai in everyday clothes, her hair only loosely pinned, sitting on the inner side of the kang and leaning on a small kang table, drawing flower patterns with the maid Ying'er. Ying'er is skilled with her hands and has a good eye. She is good at knotting cords and weaving flower baskets.

Fu Jia (209–255), courtesy name Lanshi, of Niyang in Beidi, was a master of writing under Cao Wei. He opposed a rash attack on Wu and urged Sima Shi to lead the army against Guanqiu Jian in person. The Records say he died that year at forty-seven, with the posthumous title Marquis Yuan. The encyclopedia also records the courtesy name Zhaoxian.

Wikidata's simplified Chinese label is Fu Jia, and the English label is Fu Jia. The Records of the Three Kingdoms say his courtesy name was Lanshi and that he was from Niyang in Beidi, a descendant of Fu Jiezi. The cited encyclopedia also records the courtesy name Zhaoxian. Both accounts stand, so the title stays Fu Jia. This entry dates him from 209 to 255, records his realm as Cao Wei and the Eastern Han, records him as a political figure, and places his birthplace at [[place_cn_610204|Yaozhou District]].[^wikidata][^zhwiki][^zhengshi] ## Entry into office He was already known around the age of twenty. Chen Qun, minister of works, appointed him to his staff. When Liu Shao, cavalier attendant, proposed a law for appraising officials and the matter was sent to the three offices, Fu Jia objected. He argued that Wei, coming after Qin and Han, could not yet judge men by the ancient system, that selection already rested with the ministry of personnel, and that an appraisal set up first would not separate the worthy from the foolish. At the start of Zhengshi he became a gentleman of the masters of writing and then gentleman-attendant of the yellow gate. Cao Shuang held power, and He Yan was minister of personnel. Fu Jia told Cao Xi, Cao Shuang's brother, that He Yan looked quiet and was inwardly sharp and greedy, and that he would first mislead the brothers, drive good men away, and ruin the court. He Yan turned against him and had him dismissed over a small matter. He was then made governor of Xingyang and did not go. Sima Yi, the grand tutor, made him attendant gentleman. After Cao Shuang was killed he became governor of Henan and then a master of writing. He often thought the offices since Qin and Han differed from antiquity and wanted to correct them from the root, and he also said the imperial house had too many troubles for the change to be made. The encyclopedia adds that in his youth he refused the friendship of He Yan, Deng Yang, and Xiahou Xuan. Xun Can thought this strange. Fu Jia said the three were corrupt in conduct and that closeness would later implicate him.[^zhengshi][^zhwiki] ## The debate on attacking Wu Some proposed an attack on Wu. Wang Chang, Hu Zun, and Guanqiu Jian memorialized, each with a different plan. An edict asked Fu Jia. He opposed an immediate crossing of the Yangtze. He thought the sounder course was to advance military colonies, press the enemy, and strike when a gap appeared. Sima Biao's Strategies records the reply at greater length, including seven advantages. The court did not follow him. In the eleventh month of that year Wang Chang and the others were ordered out, and in the first month of the next year Zhuge Ke smashed the Wei army at Dongguan. Zhuge Ke then announced that he would move toward Qing and Xu. Fu Jia said the sea was not a road for a light advance. When Sun Quan had sent troops to sea they were almost all lost, and Zhuge Ke would not stake his root on the flood. At most he would send a wing commander used to naval war up the Huai as a feint and bring his own mass toward Huainan. Zhuge Ke did attack Xincheng and went home without taking it.[^zhengshi] ## Last years He often discussed whether talent and nature were the same or different, and Zhong Hui collected the discussion. At the end of Jiaping he was made a marquis within the passes. When Cao Mao, the duke of Gaogui district, took the throne, Fu Jia was advanced to Marquis of Wuxiang. In the spring Guanqiu Jian and Wen Qin rebelled. Some said Sima Shi should not go himself and that the grand commandant Sima Fu could be sent. Only Fu Jia and Wang Su urged Sima Shi to go. Sima Shi went east, left Fu Jia as acting vice director of the masters of writing, and took him along. The rebels were defeated, and Fu Jia had a part in the plans. When Sima Shi died, Fu Jia and Sima Zhao returned directly to Luoyang, and Sima Zhao thus took the regency. The details are in the biography of Zhong Hui. Zhong Hui then looked pleased with himself. Fu Jia warned him that his ambition was larger than his capacity, that such merit was hard to complete, and that he must be careful. For his service Fu Jia was advanced to Marquis of Yangxiang. His fief grew by six hundred households, one thousand two hundred with what he already held. He died that year at forty-seven, was posthumously made minister of ceremonies, and was titled Marquis Yuan. His son Fu Zhi succeeded. When the five ranks were opened in the Xianxi years, Fu Zhi was re-enfeoffed as Viscount of Jingyuan because of Fu Jia's merit in the previous reign.[^zhengshi] ## Basic facts - Name: Fu Jia[^zhengshi] - Courtesy name: Lanshi; the encyclopedia also records Zhaoxian[^zhengshi][^zhwiki] - Dates recorded on this entry: 209–255; the Records say he died that year at forty-seven[^wikidata][^zhengshi] - Realm recorded on this entry: Cao Wei and the Eastern Han[^wikidata] - Birthplace: [[place_cn_610204|Yaozhou District]][^wikidata] - Occupation recorded on this entry: political figure[^wikidata] - Posthumous title: Marquis Yuan[^zhengshi] - Portrayal: [[person_cn_q124628012|Fu Jia]] (a character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms) /people/fu-jia.html en zh en 209 209 255 255 historical figure person_cn_q10498719 person aiguan 艾官

Wikidata names him Subhuti. The cited article says the full name is Patriarch Subhuti, with the Xu syllable. It then lists several real identities, including the Tathagata, Guanyin, and the Most High Lord Lao. They do not agree, so the title stays Patriarch Subhuti. This entry records him as a figure of Journey to the West.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## The pupil He takes Sun Wukong as a disciple and teaches the seventy-two transformations, deathlessness, and the cloud somersault. He foresees that Wukong will make trouble, and he requires secrecy: the school and the old story of the training must never be mentioned. In chapter 1 a woodcutter points the Handsome Monkey King the way, and Wukong then meets him. The book presents him as a great immortal versed in both Daoism and Buddhism, of high powers and many disciples. People of the hills and wilds receive his teaching. He leads them toward the Way and also teaches ways of strengthening the body and calming the mind.[^zhwiki] ## The name, and later guesses Commentators say Subhuti was a great disciple of the Tathagata, known for understanding emptiness, and that the Diamond Sutra is what the Buddha said to Subhuti. The name was not originally a title among immortals, and some take that to mean the immortal and the Buddha are one. The article also gathers guesses about who he really was. Some say the Tathagata, using among other things Wukong's later thought that he bowed only to the Buddha, to Guanyin, and to the teacher of the Mountain of the Two Boundaries, together with the Tathagata's awakening under the bodhi tree. Other guesses are Guanyin, the Most High Lord Lao, a junior fellow of the Tathagata, Subhuti among the Tathagata's ten great disciples, and a portrait of the author. Popular talk adds the Daoist Zhunti and the Primordial Heavenly Worthy. The article says the last of these mixes Journey to the West with Investiture of the Gods. The television series The Lotus Lantern and its prequel present Yuding Zhenren as an earlier or true form of Patriarch Subhuti. None of these accounts supplies one personal name to replace the title.[^zhwiki] ## Basic facts - Name: Patriarch Subhuti[^wikidata] - Full form in the article: Patriarch Subhuti, with the Xu syllable[^zhwiki] - Description: a character in Journey to the West, Sun Wukong's teacher[^wikidata][^zhwiki] - Appears in: [[work_cn_q70784|Journey to the West]][^zhwiki] /people/subhuti.html en zh en Character in Journey to the West true mythological figure person_cn_q1051287 person bi-gan 比干

Wikidata names him Bi Gan. The record also has the later form Lord Lin the Grand Preceptor, which does not replace the title. The article says he was of the Zi clan, from Mei in Yin-Shang, which it identifies with present-day Weihui in Henan. He was a son of King Wen Ding, a younger brother of Di Yi, and an uncle of King Zhou. He was clever and hardworking as a child and rose to junior preceptor. Confucius names Weizi, Jizi, and Bi Gan the three benevolent men of Yin, and says Bi Gan died because he remonstrated. He is also treated as the ancestor of the Lin surname and as a god of wealth. This entry records no birth or death year and lists him as a political figure. The article likewise gives only question marks for the years.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## Accounts of his death Death for remonstrance is the early account. The article says the story that his heart was cut out is first recorded in the Spring and Autumn period, long after the event, and that the texts make King Zhou more cruel as time goes on, so later embroidery cannot be ruled out. A Hunan Television summary of the Xia-Shang-Zhou chronology project says some steles in Bi Gan temples put his death more than ten years after King Zhou, which would mean King Zhou did not kill him. The article calls this short of proof and still a doubt. In the Warring States period another account, close to the story of Qu Yuan, says Bi Gan drowned. The modern scholar Gu Jiegang also argued that Bi Gan was both King Zhou's uncle and King Wu of Zhou's maternal uncle, that he tried to mediate, and that he died in the confusion of the battle when mediation failed. King Wu buried him hastily on the field and built a great tomb only after Shang had fallen. That would explain the record of the tomb. These accounts do not agree, and this entry does not choose one death.[^zhwiki] ## Honors, cult, and the novel Emperor Taizong of Tang gave him the posthumous office of grand preceptor and the title Duke of Loyal Ardor. Emperor Shun of Yuan added Renxian, making him the Duke of Manifest Benevolence and Loyal Ardor. A Daoist collection of audiences of the god of wealth calls him the Perfected Bi who Guards Wealth and Stores the True. In Investiture of the Gods, Jiang Ziya enfeoffs him as the star lord of Wenqu. Weihui in Henan has a Bi Gan temple, with the stele Confucius is said to have cut with a sword, Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei's lament for Bi Gan, and more than a hundred other steles. The temple was founded in 494. Qi county in Henan, according to the Qi county gazetteer, has a temple of the three benevolent men, for Bi Gan, Jizi, and Weizi. In the novel he has a heart with seven openings. For three days and nights at the Star-Plucking Terrace he blames Daji for throwing the realm into disorder and tells King Zhou that disaster is near if he abandons the former kings' rules and listens only to a woman. Daji, the nine-tailed fox, already hates him for the burning of the fox den. King Zhou has his heart cut out. The terrace at Qi county was later renamed the Heart-Plucking Terrace. The novel says Jiang Ziya's charm lets him live after the heart is gone, until he meets a woman selling hollow-heart vegetables. She says a person without a heart dies, and he dies at once.

Qiao Rui (died 197) was a general of Yuan Shu at the end of the Eastern Han, given the rank of grand general. In 197 Cao Cao marched in person, Yuan Shu fled, and Qiao Rui was among the generals left behind and killed. The cited article says he is the same man as the form written with the surname character 乔, so the title stays Qiao Rui.

Wikidata's simplified Chinese label is Qiao Rui, and the English label is Qiao Rui. The cited article says that this Qiao Rui and the same name written with the surname character 乔 are one person, so the title stays Qiao Rui. This entry dates his death to 197.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## Under Yuan Shu Yuan Shu made him grand general. In the fourth year of Chuping (193) he joined Yuan Shu in attacking Qiyang, in Cao Cao's territory. Yuan Shu wanted to send He Kui to urge a surrender. He Kui refused and hid on Qian Mountain. In the first year of Xingping (194) Sun Ce attached himself to Yuan Shu, who returned Sun Jian's old troops to him. Qiao Rui and Zhang Xun both treated Sun Ce with respect.[^zhwiki] ## The second year of Jian'an In the second year of Jian'an (197) Yuan Shu took the imperial title in Huainan and called his regime Zhongjia. He sought a marriage alliance with Lü Bu, and Lü Bu first agreed. The envoy Han Yin announced the imperial claim and came to fetch the bride. Chen Gui, chancellor of Pei, feared a union of Xu province and Yang province and persuaded Lü Bu to refuse. Lü Bu also resented Yuan Shu's earlier failure to help him. He recalled the daughter already on the road, sent Han Yin in custody to Xu, and Cao Cao had Han Yin beheaded. Yuan Shu sent his generals Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui, with the White Wave leaders Han Xian and Yang Feng, in seven columns of infantry and cavalry against Lü Bu. Lü Bu had few troops. On Chen Gui's plan he wrote to Han Xian and Yang Feng, urging them to turn on Yuan Shu, and he sent them military supplies. They were pleased, joined Lü Bu, and smashed Zhang Xun at Xiapi. Cao Cao then marched in person. When Yuan Shu heard it he abandoned his army and fled back to Huainan, leaving Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Liang Gang, and Yue Jiu. The article says Cao Cao's general Yu Jin captured these four alive and beheaded them all. The rest scattered, and nearly all were killed, wounded, or drowned.[^zhwiki] ## A different death in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms tells another story. When Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu ordered Qiao Rui to hold the border of Shouchun with fifty thousand men. Qiao Rui rode out to duel Xiahou Dun and was speared to death in fewer than three bouts. That is the novel, not the account above.

His weapon is the Green Dragon crescent blade and his horse is Red Hare, so he is called Guan Sheng of the Great Sword. He had been inspector of Pudong. When Daming in the northern capital was besieged, Grand Preceptor Cai Jing sent him to the rescue. He used the plan of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao, and with Hao Siwen, Xuan Zan, and others led picked troops, which the article numbers as ten thousand and a thousand, against Liangshan. Song Jiang withdrew to save the mountain. Guan Sheng won the first engagements and captured several men of Liangshan. Against Song Jiang he did not win, and Song Jiang still recalled the army. Song Jiang had sent Huyan Zhuo to pretend to surrender to the court and lure Guan Sheng into an attack. Guan Sheng fell into the ambush and was captured. Song Jiang untied him in person, and Guan Sheng decided to join. He became the fifth chief of Liangshan.[^zhwiki] ## After he joined Cai Jing then recommended the paired generals of water and fire, Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo. Guan Sheng volunteered and went out with Hao Siwen and Xuan Zan. Those two were captured when they charged, and Guan Sheng retreated. He fought Shan Tinggui again, drew him into a pursuit, struck him from the horse, and Shan Tinggui surrendered. Wei Dingguo was then brought over as well. When the hundred and eight gathered, Guan Sheng was made the first of the five tigers of the cavalry. He followed Song Jiang against Liao, Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La. He cut down the Liao general Wuyan Guang and Qian Pengju on Fang La's side, and he brought over the Hebei general Tang Bin. Against Fang La he fought Shi Bao, one of the four marshals of Jiangnan, to a draw more than once. He thought Shi Bao's blade was not beneath his own, and he saw through Shi Bao's hidden meteor hammer. After the pacification he returned to court, was appointed a regular general, and became commander of the horse at Daming. Later he drank too much, fell from his horse, and died of the injury.

The Daoist name, the nickname, and the star name do not replace the title. He is from Jizhou, a wandering Daoist of the Zixu temple, and a disciple of Luo the Perfected. This entry records him as a Water Margin figure, and the story is set in the Great Song.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## The mountain, and the return home He is tall and large, with slanting brows, almond eyes, and whiskers, a short robe, hemp shoes, and a pine-grain ancient-ingot sword. He is skilled both in Daoist arts and with spear and staff. Hearing that Yang Zhi was escorting Cai Jing's birthday gift, he thought the wealth unjust and went to Chao Gai to plan its seizure. After the affair he drove off He Tao and went up to Liangshan. When Song Jiang had been rescued from the execution ground at Jiangzhou, Gongsun Sheng missed his old mother, went home, and did not return. When Song Jiang attacked Gaotang and lost to Gao Lian's sorcery, he was asked down again. With the orthodox method of the five thunders and the heavenly stars, taught by Luo the Perfected, he broke Gao Lian's art. Shi Jin's first battle at Mangdang Mountain went badly. Gongsun Sheng arrived with troops, set an eight-trigram formation, broke Fan Rui's sorcery, and received Fan Rui and the others. When the hundred and eight gathered, he served as the strategist who kept the secrets.[^zhwiki] ## After the amnesty After the amnesty he followed the campaigns against Liao and Tian Hu. Tian Hu's strategist Qiao Daoqing defeated the Liangshan men with sorcery. Gongsun Sheng broke that art and received him. Against Wang Qing, Lu Junyi fought Li Zhu, called the Master of the Golden Sword, at Nanfeng and could not match the sword. Gongsun Sheng arrived with the center army and by art made the sword leave Li Zhu's hand, so Lu Junyi captured him alive. After Wang Qing was pacified, Song Jiang camped at Chenqiao post outside the eastern capital. Gongsun Sheng remembered Luo the Perfected's words, return when you meet the Bian, took leave of Song Jiang, and went back to the Mountain of the Two Immortals in Jizhou. He did not go with the Liangshan company again and did not join the campaign against Fang La. He studied the Way with his teacher and cared for his mother until the end of his years.

Wikidata names him Li Feng, so the title stays the personal name. The cited article gives his courtesy name as Anguo, and in another account as Xuanguo. The courtesy name is disputed, so it does not replace the title. He was from Dong county in Fengyi, and this entry places his birthplace at [[place_cn_610523|Dali County]]. His father, Li Yi (the name written 义), was commandant of the guards. Li Feng rose to prefect of the palace secretariat. This entry dates his death to 254 and records him as a political figure.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## Early reputation In the Huangchu years he was summoned to follow the army because of his father's appointment. He was then seventeen or eighteen, living at Ye, known for integrity and for judging men, and his reputation soon reached Xuchang. His father made him shut his door and study, away from guests. After Cao Rui became emperor he asked a man who had come over from Wu which notable of the central plains he had heard of. The man said he knew only Li Anguo. Cao Rui later asked his attendants who Li Anguo was, and they said it was Li Feng's courtesy name. Li Feng served as gentleman of the yellow gate, commandant of cavalry, and palace attendant. After Cao Rui died he became coachman of Yongning. The article says his fame outran his ability, so he was not given great trust.[^zhwiki] ## After Zhengshi In the Zhengshi years he became attendant within the palace and vice director of the secretariat, and he often pleaded illness. A hundred days of sick leave stopped the salary, so for several years he was ill for a few days, recovered, and fell ill again. When his son Li Tao was chosen to marry a princess, Li Feng refused in public and agreed in private. His younger brothers, Li Yi (the name written 翼) and Li Wei, were grand administrators for many years. While Sima Yi was long ill, Li Wei drank and mismanaged Xinping and Fufeng, and Li Feng did nothing. People thought he relied on favor. While Cao Shuang held power, Li Feng tried to please both Cao Shuang and Sima Yi. A jingle compared Cao Shuang to hot soup, the grand tutor to cold slurry, and the Li brothers to the spirit Youguang. On the day Sima Yi destroyed Cao Shuang, he stopped his chariot at court and told Li Feng. Li Feng was so frightened that he crouched on the ground and could not rise. After Sima Yi died, the prefecture of the secretariat was vacant. Someone recommended Li Feng to Sima Shi. Li Feng thought of his marriage tie to Cao Fang and did not decline. He privately favored Xiahou Xuan and joined Zhang Ji, the empress's father, who had been removed from a commandery. They meant to overthrow Sima Shi and make Xiahou Xuan general-in-chief. Li Feng secretly had his younger brother Li Yi (翼) ask to enter court with troops. The requests were not granted.[^zhwiki] ## Death The article places the plot in the second month of 254, when a noble lady was to be received at court. Li Feng planned to use the imperial carriage's arrival, have the emperor's troops at the gates kill Sima Shi, replace him with Xiahou Xuan, and make Zhang Ji general of the agile cavalry. The plotters included Su Shuo, supervisor of the yellow gate, Le Dun, prefect of the Yongning office, and Liu Xian, servant of the attendants. Sima Shi heard of it and sent Wang Yang with a carriage to fetch Li Feng. Under questioning Li Feng knew the plot was exposed and cursed Sima Shi aloud. Sima Shi, in anger, killed him with the iron ring on a knife handle. That night the body was sent to the commandant of justice. Zhong Yu first refused it, saying it was not a case for the judge, and accepted it only after the edict arrived. Zhang Ji was ordered to die. Zhong Yu reported that Li Feng and the others had meant to seize the emperor and kill Sima Shi on their own authority. After the ministers and the commandant deliberated, Li Tao, Xiahou Xuan, Su Shuo, Le Dun, Liu Xian, and others were beheaded and their three kindred groups destroyed. The remaining dependents were moved to Lelang. A separate edict spared the three sons of Princess Qi the Elder because she was a daughter of the late emperor.

The article says the man who reported Zhang Fei's death is also written Wu Ban. This entry dates Hu Ban's death to 234, which the article does not narrate.

Wikidata names him Hu Ban. The cited article calls him fictional and says he was the son of Hu Hua, a gentleman-consultant in the reign of Emperor Huan. This entry records him as a commander under Liu Bei and dates his death to 234. The article does not give a year of death, so the stored year is repeated and no death scene is added. The story is set in the Han.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## Xingyang He began as an aide of Wang Zhi, governor of Xingyang. After Guan Yu had forced the passes, Wang Zhi received him warmly and secretly ordered Hu Ban to burn Guan Yu's lodging. Hu Ban wanted to see Guan Yu's face, and on seeing him cried out in admiration. Guan Yu asked his name and showed him Hu Hua's letter. Hu Ban then told him of Wang Zhi's plan. Guan Yu escorted his two sisters-in-law out of the post station. Wang Zhi pursued and was cut in two at the waist.[^zhwiki] ## Joining Liu Bei Hu Ban later came to Jing province and surrendered to Guan Yu, who remembered the old rescue. When Liu Bei became king of Hanzhong, he sent Hu Ban with Fei Shi into Shu to see the king receive the title. Hu Ban was made general of the standard gate. Liu Bei then had him assist Zhang Fei in holding Langzhong. After Zhang Fei's officers Fan Qiang and Zhang Da killed Zhang Fei, the article says Hu Ban reported directly to Liu Bei, and notes that this reporter is also written Wu Ban. Zhang Fei's elder son Zhang Bao coffined the body, the second son Zhang Shao held Langzhong, and Zhang Bao was sent to Chengdu.

Wikidata's simplified Chinese label is Sun Li, and the English label is Sun Li. The Records of the Three Kingdoms say his courtesy name was Deda and that he was from Rongcheng in Zhuo commandery, so the title stays the personal name. This entry dates his death to 250 and records him as a political figure, with his birthplace at [[place_cn_130629|Rongcheng County]]. The cited encyclopedia says 250 or 251. The Records say only that he died and was given the posthumous title Marquis Jing. They do not give the month or year.[^wikidata][^zhwiki][^zhengshi] ## Rise During the troubles he was separated from his mother. Ma Tai of the same commandery found her, and Sun Li gave Ma Tai the whole family property. After Cao Cao pacified You province, he summoned Sun Li as a counselor on the staff of the minister of works. Ma Tai was later condemned to death. Sun Li privately showed him how to escape over the prison wall, then said a subject had no right to flee, and went straight to Wen Hui, the clerk who investigated crime, to give himself up. Wen Hui told Cao Cao. Both men had their death sentences reduced by one degree. Sun Li then became assistant in Hejian and gradually commandant of Xingyang. Several hundred bandits in the hills of Lu held the passes and harmed the people, and the court moved him to be chancellor of Lu. He brought out salary grain, raised clerks and people, offered rewards for heads, and also took in those who surrendered, sending them back as agents. The district was soon quiet. He governed Shanyang, Pingyuan, Pingchang, and Langye. When he followed the grand marshal Cao Xiu against Wu at Jiashi, he advised Cao Xiu not to go deep. Cao Xiu did not listen and was defeated. Sun Li then became governor of Yangping and, at court, a master of writing.[^zhengshi] ## Under the Ming emperor The Ming emperor was building palaces while the seasons were disordered and grain was short. Sun Li argued hard, and the labor was stopped. The edict said the frank advice was accepted and the people should be sent home, but the supervisor Li Hui asked to keep them another month to finish the work. Sun Li went to the site, made no further memorial, and dismissed the workers in the emperor's name. The emperor thought the intention remarkable and did not punish him. When the emperor hunted on Dashi Mountain, a tiger rushed the carriage. Sun Li threw down his whip, dismounted, and meant to strike the tiger with his sword. The emperor ordered him back onto the horse. As the Ming emperor was dying, he made Cao Shuang general-in-chief and, receiving the testamentary edict by the bed, appointed Sun Li chief clerk of the general-in-chief and cavalier attendant. Sun Li was upright and would not bend. Cao Shuang found that inconvenient and sent him out as inspector of Yang province, wave-subduing general, and marquis within the passes.[^zhengshi] ## Shaopei and Jizhou The Wu general Quan Cong invaded with tens of thousands. Most of the provincial troops were away, and few remained. Sun Li led the guards himself and fought at Shaopei from dawn until evening. More than half the officers and men were killed or wounded. His horse took several wounds. He held the drumstick and went among the blades, and the Wu force withdrew. The court granted seven hundred bolts of silk. He mourned the dead and gave all the silk to their families. He was later called in as steward of the lesser treasury, went out as inspector of Jing province, and then became shepherd of Ji province. Sima Yi told him that Qinghe and Pingyuan had disputed their border for eight years and that two inspectors had failed to settle it. Sun Li said the map from the time the founder first enfeoffed Pingyuan should decide the case. When he arrived he followed the map and assigned the land to Pingyuan. Cao Shuang believed Qinghe and wrote that the map could not be used and that other views should be weighed. Sun Li memorialized, put on his sash and shoes, and waited in his carriage to be dismissed. Cao Shuang was furious, charged him with resentment, and sentenced him to five years. After a year at home, and after many people spoke for him, he was made colonel of the city gates.[^zhengshi] ## Last years The Xiongnu king Liu Jing was strong, and the Xianbei often raided the frontier. The court made Sun Li inspector of Bing province, martial-awe general, holder of credentials, and protector of the Xiongnu. He visited Sima Yi with an angry face and said nothing. Sima Yi thought he found Bing province too small, or still resented the border decision. Sun Li said he was not thinking of rank or of the old case. What grieved him was that the altars were in danger. He wept. Sima Yi told him to endure what was hard to endure. After Cao Shuang was killed, Sun Li became colonel-director of retainers. He had charge, in all, of seven commanderies and five provinces, and in each he had authority. He was promoted to minister of works and enfeoffed as Marquis of Daliting, with a hundred households. He and Lu Yu were of the same commandery and the same generation, but they were not close. Their reputations and ranks were roughly equal. The Records say he died, was posthumously titled Marquis Jing, and was succeeded by his grandson Sun Yuan.[^zhengshi] ## Basic facts - Name: Sun Li[^zhengshi] - Courtesy name: Deda[^zhengshi] - Death year recorded on this entry: 250; the Records give no year, and the encyclopedia says 250 or 251[^wikidata][^zhwiki] - Realm: Cao Wei[^wikidata] - Birthplace: [[place_cn_130629|Rongcheng County]][^wikidata] - Occupation recorded on this entry: political figure[^wikidata] - Posthumous title: Marquis Jing[^zhengshi] - Portrayal: [[person_cn_q124460602|Sun Li]] (a character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms) /people/sun-li.html en zh en 250 250 historical figure person_cn_q1045338 person xing-daorong 邢道荣

Wikidata names her Hu Sanniang. The same materials also give the nickname Yizhangqing and the star name Dihuixing. Neither the nickname nor the star name replaces the title. This entry calls her one of the three women commanders of Liangshan, and the story is set in the Great Song.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## In battle She is the daughter of the lord of Hu manor and the younger sister of Hu Cheng, the Flying Tiger. She was betrothed to Zhu Biao. She fights with a pair of sun-and-moon swords and can take prisoners with a rope from the saddle. When Song Jiang attacked Zhu manor, Hu manor sent troops to help. Her rope took Wang Ying, Qin Ming, and others one after another, and for a time no one on Liangshan dared to meet her. Song Jiang sent Lin Chong. Lin Chong captured her, and Song Jiang gave her to his father, Lord Song, to watch. Hu Cheng then made peace, agreeing that anyone from Zhu manor who fled to Hu manor would be bound and sent to Liangshan, in exchange for Hu Sanniang.[^zhwiki] ## On the mountain, and her death After Zhu manor was destroyed she took Lord Song as an adoptive father and became Song Jiang's sworn younger sister. The article calls her the first woman commander of Liangshan. Song Jiang matched her with Wang Ying. Husband and wife together handled the internal affairs of the Liangshan forces, and she ranked fifty-ninth. In the later campaign against Fang La, Zheng Biao killed Wang Ying. She went to take revenge and was struck from her horse by a stone bullet Zheng Biao threw. She died and was posthumously titled Lady of Huayang commandery.[^zhwiki] ## A few further notes in the article The article says that in chapter 55, fighting Huyan Zhuo, she tells the Hua general to rest and watch her take the man, that in chapter 51 she bows her thanks when Song Jiang makes the match, and that she joins the oath at the great assembly. The 120-chapter version adds a line in the Tian Hu campaign: when Qiong Ying spears Wang Ying in the thigh, Hu Sanniang curses her. In earlier sources the name Yizhangqing is not this woman. In the Eulogies of Song Jiang's Thirty-Six it appears in the verse for Yan Qing, and the Anecdotes of the Xuanhe Reign of the Great Song has a Yizhangqing Zhang Heng. The article also lists performers in several films and television versions.
