Wikidata's Chinese label is 嚴輿, written 严舆 in simplified characters, and the Chinese Wikipedia article is also under 嚴輿, so the title is unchanged. Wikidata records his death in 196 and lists Yan Baihu as his sibling, and the opening of the Chinese Wikipedia article dates his life from the second century to 196.[^wikidata][^zhwiki] ## Killed by Sun Ce Chinese Wikipedia says that Yan Yu was strong and agile and was said to be able to leap up from a seated position. When Sun Ce attacked Yan Baihu, Yan Yu went at his brother's order to Sun Ce's camp to sue for peace. At their meeting Sun Ce struck the mat with a sharp blade and Yan Yu flinched. Sun Ce laughed and said he had heard Yan Yu could leap from a seat and was nimble and was only joking. Yan Yu answered that the sight of a weapon always made him do that. Hearing this, Sun Ce knew that he was in fact a poor fighter and immediately killed him with a hand-halberd. Yan Baihu and the others were terrified when they heard that Yan Yu, famed for his strength, had been killed. The article credits this account to the Wu Lu quoted in the commentary to the Biography of Sun Ce in the Records of the Three Kingdoms.[^zhwiki] ## In the novel The article also records that in Romance of the Three Kingdoms he first appears ordered by his brother Yan Baihu to resist Sun Ce and is driven back by Jiang Qin and Chen Wu. Later, in a negotiation over wine with Sun Ce, he is asked what Yan Baihu intends and answers that his brother demands to share Jiangdong equally. Sun Ce angrily says that a rat dares to treat him as an equal and orders him killed. Yan Yu stands up and draws his sword, and Sun Ce kills him with a thrown sword and has his head sent into the city. The article cites chapter 15 of the novel.[^zhwiki] ## Basic facts - Name: Yan Yu (嚴輿)[^wikidata] - Origin: Wucheng county, Wu commandery[^zhwiki] - Brother: Yan Baihu[^wikidata][^zhwiki] - Died: 196[^wikidata][^zhwiki] - Portrayal: [[person_cn_q123785355|严舆]] (character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms) /people/yan-yu-q1068940.html en zh en 196 196 historical figure tag-ancient-china ancient-china 中国古代 先秦至清代的历史、人物与政区。 1056 relation_cnportray_q123785355 person_cn_q123785355 based_on person_cn_q1068940 作品中的人物形象，原型为该历史人物。 person_cn_q123785355 wikidata Portrayals person_cn_q123785355 Yan Yu /en/people/yan-yu-sanguo-q123785355-q1068940.html true person_cn_q123785355 严舆 /en/people/yan-yu-sanguo-q123785355-q1068940.html person 3 2026-10-25 当前版本 true /en/people/yan-yu-q1068940/at/3.html en zh en death_date Death 196 person_category Person category historical figure 1 based_on true Portrayals 1 1
