Huo Qi is a minor character who appears early in Dream of the Red Chamber. Wikidata gives his Chinese name as 霍启, with the variant 霍啟, and the Chinese Wikipedia character list uses 霍启 as well, so the title is unchanged.[1][2]
Position
The character list records him as a servant of Zhen Shiyin's household and places his appearance in chapter 1. Wikidata describes him as a servant of the Zhen household, lists his occupation as domestic worker and his family name as Huo, names Zhen Shiyin as his employer, and gives the Zhen Mansion on Renqing Street as both his workplace and his residence. The recorded setting is the book's fictional Reigning Dynasty.[1][2]
Scope of the sources
The two sources behind this entry give only his position, the chapter of his appearance and his service relation, with no further narrative, so nothing more is said here.[1][2]
