The Chinese Wikipedia article is titled 雍闓 and says the name is also written 雍凯; it calls him a leading chief of southern Yi Province from Yizhou commandery and a descendant of Yong Chi, a general under Emperor Gaozu of Han. Wikidata uses the same Chinese label with the English label Yong Kai and records his death in 225, so the title stays as his personal name.[^zhwiki][^wikidata]\n\n## The Nanzhong revolt\n\nChinese Wikipedia says his ancestors were Han migrants who had lived so long in Nanzhong that they were deeply influenced by the region and 'their kindness and good faith were known across the southern lands'. In 223, the year of Liu Bei's death, Yong Kai joined Gao Ding and Zhu Bao in rebelling against Shu Han in Nanzhong. They killed the grand administrator of Yizhou, Zheng Ang, and seized his successor Zhang Yi. Li Yan wrote six letters urging him to submit, but he replied that 'the land has no second king' and resolved to rebel. Under the urging of Shi Xie and Bu Zhi he then went over to Wu and sent Zhang Yi there, and Wu made him grand administrator of Yongchang.[^zhwiki]\n\nHe was held up by the resistance of Lü Kai and Wang Kang, so he sent Meng Huo to stir up the Yi and Yue peoples to rebel in support. Also involved were Zhu Bao, grand administrator of Zangke, and Gao Ding, king of the Yi of Yuesui.[^zhwiki]\n\n## Death\n\nIn the spring of 225 Zhuge Liang led his army south in three columns, and Yong Kai led his men to Yuesui to help the local chief Gao Ding. Chinese Wikipedia says he was killed in the campaign against him, though another account says that, because of conflict between the great clans and the native peoples, he was killed by Gao Ding's men. The article lists the Records of the Three Kingdoms biography of Lü Kai, the Chronicles of Huayang, and the Zizhi tongjian among its references.[^zhwiki]\n\n## In Romance of the Three Kingdoms\n\nThe same article says the novel's account of him is close to the histories. He is a descendant of Yong Chi and grand administrator of Jianning in Nanzhong. In chapter 87, after Liu Bei's death, he joins Zhu Bao, Gao Ding and the Man king Meng Huo in revolt and attacks Yongchang, but Zhuge Liang's divisive scheme leads to his being killed by Gao Ding's officer E Huan.[^zhwiki]\n\n## Basic facts\n\n- Name: Yong Kai, also written 雍凯[^zhwiki]\n- Death year recorded on this entry: 225[^wikidata]\n- Role: chief of southern Yi Province[^zhwiki]\n- Portrayal: [[person_cn_q124423215|Yong Kai]] (a character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms)", "url": "/people/yong-kai.html", "lang": "en", "availableLangs": [ "zh", "en" ], "death": { "year": 225, "display": "225" }, "personCategory": "historical figure" }, "entities": null, "tags": [ { "id": "tag-ancient-china", "slug": "ancient-china", "name": "Ancient China", "description": "History, people and administrative divisions from the pre-Qin era to the Qing dynasty.", "names": { "ar": "الصين القديمة", "de": "Das alte China", "en": "Ancient China", "es": "China antigua", "fr": "Chine ancienne", "hi": "प्राचीन चीन", "id": "Tiongkok kuno", "it": "Cina antica", "ja": "中国古代", "ko": "중국 고대", "ms": "China purba", "nl": "Het oude China", "pt": "China antiga", "ru": "Древний Китай", "th": "จีนโบราณ", "tr": "Antik Çin", "vi": "Trung Quốc cổ đại", "zh": "中国古代", "zh-hant": "中國古代" }, "descriptions": { "ar": "التاريخ والشخصيات والتقسيمات الإدارية من عصر ما قبل تشين إلى أسرة تشينغ.", "de": "Geschichte, Personen und Verwaltungsgliederung von der Zeit vor Qin bis zur Qing-Dynastie.", "en": "History, people and administrative divisions from the pre-Qin era to the Qing dynasty.", "es": "Historia, personajes y divisiones administrativas desde la era pre-Qin hasta la dinastía Qing.", "fr": "Histoire, personnages et divisions administratives de l'époque pré-Qin à la dynastie Qing.", "hi": "चिन-पूर्व काल से चिंग राजवंश तक का इतिहास, व्यक्ति और प्रशासनिक विभाजन।", "id": "Sejarah, tokoh, dan pembagian administratif dari era pra-Qin hingga Dinasti Qing.", "it": "Storia, personaggi e divisioni amministrative dall'epoca pre-Qin alla dinastia Qing.", "ja": "先秦から清代までの歴史・人物・行政区画。", "ko": "先秦부터 청대까지의 역사·인물·행정 구역.", "ms": "Sejarah, tokoh dan bahagian pentadbiran dari zaman pra-Qin hingga Dinasti Qing.", "nl": "Geschiedenis, personen en bestuurlijke indeling van de pre-Qin-periode tot de Qing-dynastie.", "pt": "História, personagens e divisões administrativas da era pré-Qin até à dinastia Qing.", "ru": "История, персоналии и административное деление от доциньской эпохи до династии Цин.", "th": "ประวัติศาสตร์ บุคคล และเขตการปกครองตั้งแต่ยุคก่อนฉินจนถึงราชวงศ์ชิง", "tr": "Qin öncesi dönemden Qing hanedanına kadar tarih, kişiler ve idari bölümler.", "vi": "Lịch sử, nhân vật và đơn vị hành chính từ thời Tiền Tần đến nhà Thanh.", "zh": "先秦至清代的历史、人物与政区。", "zh-hant": "先秦至清代的歷史、人物與政區。" }, "count": 1097 } ], "relations": [ { "id": "relation_cnportray_q124423215", "fromId": "person_cn_q124423215", "relationType": "based_on", "toId": "person_cn_q1133053", "note": "作品中的人物形象，原型为该历史人物。", "sourceRefs": [ { "entityId": "person_cn_q124423215", "sourceId": "wikidata" } ], "label": "Portrayals", "targetId": "person_cn_q124423215", "targetTitle": "Yong Kai", "targetUrl": "/en/people/yong-kai-sanguo-q124423215.html", "incoming": true } ], "mentions": [ { "fromId": "person_cn_q124423215", "fromTitle": "Yong Kai", "fromUrl": "/en/people/yong-kai-sanguo-q124423215.html", "fromType": "person" } ], "versions": [ { "revision": 11, "updatedAt": "2026-11-02T11:35:47+08:00", "message": "当前版本", "hasSnapshot": true, "url": "/en/people/yong-kai/at/11.html" } ], "lang": "en", "availableLangs": [ "zh", "en" ], "infoFields": [ { "key": "death_date", "label": "Death", "value": "225" }, { "key": "person_category", "label": "Person category", "value": "historical figure" } ], "relationsTotal": 1, "relationCounts": [ { "relationType": "based_on", "incoming": true, "label": "Portrayals", "total": 1 } ], "mentionsTotal": 1 }
