      "body": "Yang Biao was a minister at the end of the Eastern Han. 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]\n\n## Family and early office\n\nThe 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]\n\n## The move of the capital, and the flight\n\nIn 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]\n\n## Last years\n\nIn 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]\n\n## Basic facts\n\n- Name: Yang Biao[^wikidata]\n- Courtesy name: Wenxian[^zhwiki]\n- Dates recorded on this entry: 142–225[^wikidata]\n- Realm recorded on this entry: Cao Wei; the article calls him a minister of the late Eastern Han[^wikidata][^zhwiki]\n- Occupation recorded on this entry: political figure[^wikidata]\n- Portrayal: [[person_cn_q123596396|Yang Biao]] (a character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms)",

      "body": "Fu Jia was an official of Cao Wei. 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]\n\n## Entry into office\n\nHe 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]\n\n## The debate on attacking Wu\n\nSome 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]\n\n## Last years\n\nHe 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]\n\n## Basic facts\n\n- Name: Fu Jia[^zhengshi]\n- Courtesy name: Lanshi; the encyclopedia also records Zhaoxian[^zhengshi][^zhwiki]\n- Dates recorded on this entry: 209–255; the Records say he died that year at forty-seven[^wikidata][^zhengshi]\n- Realm recorded on this entry: Cao Wei and the Eastern Han[^wikidata]\n- Birthplace: [[place_cn_610204|Yaozhou District]][^wikidata]\n- Occupation recorded on this entry: political figure[^wikidata]\n- Posthumous title: Marquis Yuan[^zhengshi]\n- Portrayal: [[person_cn_q124628012|Fu Jia]] (a character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms)",

      "body": "Shi Jin is a character in the novel Water Margin. 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]\n\n## Shi manor\n\nHe 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]\n\n## Shaohua Mountain\n\nChen 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]\n\n## Joining Liangshan\n\nWhen 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]\n\n## The end, and earlier lists\n\nAfter 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. Those names are not copied out here.[^zhwiki]\n\n## Basic facts\n\n- Name: Shi Jin[^wikidata]\n- Nickname: Nine Dragons[^zhwiki]\n- Star name: Tianweixing[^wikidata]\n- Another form of address: Shi Dalang[^wikidata]\n- Birthplace recorded on this entry: Huayin county[^wikidata]\n- Setting recorded on this entry: Great Song[^wikidata]\n- Appears in: [[work_cn_q70827|Water Margin]][^zhwiki]",

Cold Gentleman and Second Master Liu are nicknames, so the title stays Liu Xianglian.[^wikidata]\n\n## In the novel\n\nThe cited Chinese Wikipedia says he comes from a hereditary family, lost his parents early, and did not finish his studies. He is handsome and fond of acting, especially the romantic young-male and female roles, and is often mistaken for a professional actor. His nickname is the Cold Gentleman. He is Jia Baoyu's friend and the husband You Sanjie chose for herself. Xue Pan once pressed him with advances and Liu beat him badly. Later, on the road at Ping'an, Liu rescued Xue Pan from bandits. After Jia Lian proposed the match, Liu agreed to marry You Sanjie and gave the mandarin-duck swords as a betrothal gift. He then asked Baoyu about her character, regretted the engagement, and wanted the swords back. You Sanjie killed herself. Liu afterwards followed a Daoist and disappeared. Xue Baoqin's verse contains the line about being beside the willow rather than the plum, and the redologist Zhou Ruchang took that to mean Baoqin and Liu Xianglian eventually marry.[^zhwiki]\n\n## Basic facts\n\n- Name: Liu Xianglian[^wikidata]\n- Description: a character in Dream of the Red Chamber[^wikidata]\n- Occupation recorded on this entry: amateur actor[^wikidata]\n- Appears in: [[work_cn_q8265|Dream of the Red Chamber]]",

Wikidata names him Zhen Baoyu, so the title stays that personal name.[^wikidata][^zhwiki]\n\n## Family\n\nHe is the son of Zhen Yingjia, president of the Tiren yuan in Jinling province. He has the same given name as Jia Baoyu, looks and temperament much like him, and is one year younger. The surnames Zhen and Jia are used to set the true against the false. The Zhen house is as eminent as the Jia house: its ancestors received the imperial visit four times, and the two families are both old kin and hereditary friends.[^zhwiki]\n\n## What the first eighty chapters say\n\nIn the first eighty chapters Zhen Baoyu never comes on stage. People in the Jia house only talk about him. They say he was unruly as a child and skipped school every day, and that he would study only with two girls beside him. He held the word daughter to be the most honored and the most pure, rarer than auspicious beasts or rare plants. When his father beat him past endurance he cried out sister at random. Jia Baoyu met him in a dream and kept expecting him. When Zhen Baoyu was four, Jia Yucun came as the family tutor and resigned because he could not bear the grandmother's spoiling. The article says the same Jia Yucun also began Lin Daiyu's lessons. At fourteen the Zhen house was raided, and Zhen Baoyu, like Jia Baoyu, dreamed of the Land of Illusion. The article lists these mentions of the Zhen family in the first eighty chapters: Jia Yucun speaks of the Jiangnan Zhen house while Leng Zixing describes the Rongguo house; Xifeng reports a gift from the Zhen house; Nanny Zhao tells of four imperial receptions; the Zhen house comes to the capital to pay respects and the Zhen lady is received; five hundred taels of funeral silver arrive after Jia Jing's death; a screen arrives for the Lady Dowager's birthday; during the search of the garden Tanchun says the household was discussing the raid on the Zhen house that morning; Madam You reads in the gazette that the Zhen house is guilty; Lady Wang tells the Lady Dowager of the confiscation and the summons to the capital for punishment.[^zhwiki]\n\n## The later account in the article\n\nThe article says that after waking he put away his childhood mischief, set his mind on rank, and studied in earnest. At eighteen he met Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu thought him bent on office, a parasite of salary, and they parted on bad terms. Zhen Baoyu later passed the provincial examination. When he heard from Jia Lan that Jia Baoyu had wandered off in a daze, he sighed and tried to comfort the family. In the tenth month Jia Baoyu took leave of Jia Zheng and returned to the Green Ridge Peak. Zhen Baoyu stayed in the ordinary world, married Li Qi, a cousin of Li Wan, and meant to restore the house through the examinations.[^zhwiki]\n\n## Basic facts\n\n- Name: Zhen Baoyu[^wikidata]\n- Description: a character in Dream of the Red Chamber[^wikidata]\n- Appears in: [[work_cn_q8265|Dream of the Red Chamber]][^zhwiki]",

      "body": "Xiahou Xuan was a leading official of Cao Wei. Wikidata uses Xiahou Xuan as his name. The Records of the Three Kingdoms say his courtesy name was Taichu and that he was the son of Xiahou Shang, so the title stays the personal name. This entry records his life as 209 to 254.[^wikidata][^zhengshi]\n\n## Early career\n\nHe was famous young and, just after capping, became a mounted gentleman attendant of the yellow gate. Once, at an audience, he was seated with Mao Zeng, the empress's brother. He felt ashamed and did not hide it. Emperor Ming resented this and demoted him to supervisor of the feathered forest. At the start of Zhengshi, Cao Shuang held the regency. Xiahou Xuan was the son of Cao Shuang's paternal aunt and rose to mounted attendant and capital guard. He sent the grand tutor Sima Yi three discussions of the time: separating selection of officials from local reputation and from the secretariat's assessment, simplifying local posts and inspection, and reforming dress so as to check luxury. Sima Yi replied that the proposals were excellent but hard to impose on settled habit, and should wait for an able man. Xiahou Xuan wrote back that the moment to change was not a moment to wait.[^zhengshi]\n\n## The western command and the fall\n\nHe was soon made general who campaigns in the west, with credentials to supervise military affairs in Yong and Liang provinces. With Cao Shuang he launched the campaign through Luogu, and contemporaries mocked it. After Cao Shuang was killed, Xiahou Xuan was summoned as grand herald and, some years later, moved to the ministry of ceremonies. He was unhappy at the suppression of Cao Shuang's party. Li Feng, director of the secretariat, outwardly close to Sima Shi, privately joined the empress's father Zhang Ji and planned to make Xiahou Xuan regent. In the second month of the sixth year of Jiaping they meant to kill the general-in-chief when a noble lady was received and the palace gates were under restricted troops, and to put Xiahou Xuan in his place. Sima Shi heard something of the plot, summoned Li Feng, and killed him when he came unaware. Xiahou Xuan, Zhang Ji, Su Shuo, Yue Dun and Liu Xian were sent to the commandant of justice.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Execution\n\nThe Records say his capacity was broad. When he was taken to the eastern market for execution his color did not change and his movements stayed composed. He was forty-six. In the Zhengyuan era the heirs of meritorious officials were restored, and Xiahou Ben, a junior descendant of Xiahou Shang, was made Marquis of Changling so as to continue Xiahou Shang's sacrifices.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Basic facts\n\n- Name: Xiahou Xuan[^zhengshi]\n- Courtesy name: Taichu[^zhengshi]\n- Dates recorded on this entry: 209–254[^wikidata]\n- Realm: Cao Wei[^wikidata]\n- Occupation recorded on this entry: political figure[^wikidata]\n- Portrayal: [[person_cn_q124635133|Xiahou Xuan]] (a character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms)",

      "body": "Zhu Changluo was a Ming emperor. His temple name was Guangzong and his era name was Taichang. This entry records his birth in 1582 and his death on 26 September 1620.[^wikidata] The simplified Chinese Wikidata alias is Zhu Changluo, distinct from the temple name Guangzong. The passage read in juan 21 of the Ming History calls him the heir apparent and, after accession, Guangzong. It does not spell out a taboo personal name.[^zhengshi][^wikidata]\n\n## Accession\n\nThe Ming History says the Wanli Emperor died in the seventh month of his forty-eighth year. On the dingyou day the heir, following the testament, issued a million taels to reward the frontier, abolished the mining and commercial taxes, and restored officials who had been punished for remonstrance. On the jihai day another million taels were issued for the frontier. On the first day of the eighth month, bingwu, he took the throne, proclaimed an amnesty, named the next year the first of Taichang, and remitted taxes in provinces hit by disaster. Liaodong suffered a great drought. On the gengshen day the Yellow River at Lanzhou ran clear for three days. In that month Shi Jikai, Shen Que, He Zongyan, Liu Yijing, Han Kuang and Zhu Guozuo entered the grand secretariat, and Ye Xianggao was summoned.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Death\n\nOn the bingyin day the emperor was ill. On the wuchen day he received the Duke of Yingguo, Zhang Weixian, Grand Secretary Fang Congzhe and eleven others at the Qianqing Palace, and had his eldest son come out to see them. On the jiaxu day he was dying and again summoned Fang Congzhe and the others to receive his last charge. That same day Li Kezhuo of the Court of State Ceremonial presented a red pill. He died in the Qianqing Palace on the first day of the ninth month, yihai, after one month on the throne, at the age of thirty-nine. After the Tianqi Emperor succeeded, the court decided that the time from the eighth month of the forty-eighth year of Wanli would be called the first year of Taichang. In the tenth month he received his posthumous title and the temple name Guangzong, and was buried at the Qingling.[^zhengshi]\n\nThe historian's comment at the end of the juan says Guangzong's virtue had long been known and the realm had looked to him, but he reigned only a month, his measures were never carried out, and the struggles over the three cases made the factional disaster worse.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Basic facts\n\n- Name: Zhu Changluo[^wikidata]\n- Temple name: Guangzong[^zhengshi]\n- Era name: Taichang[^zhengshi]\n- Place in the dynasty: fourteenth Ming emperor[^wikidata]\n- Realm: Ming[^wikidata]\n- Birthplace: [[place_beijing|Beijing]][^wikidata]",

This entry records his birth in 1537 and his death in 1572.[^wikidata] Juan 19 of the Ming History gives his personal name as Zaihou, and the cited Wikidata aliases give the full name Zhu Zaihou, surname Zhu, with the English form Zhu Zaihou.[^zhengshi][^wikidata]\n\n## Prince of Yu\n\nThe Ming History says he was the third son of the Jiajing Emperor, and his mother was Consort Du, titled Kang. In the second month of the eighteenth year of Jiajing he was made Prince of Yu, invested on the same day as the heir apparent Zhuangjing and the Prince of Jing. After Zhuangjing died, the emperor regarded him as the eldest and capable son and the succession as settled, but suspicion remained at court, so the Prince of Jing was sent to his own domain.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Accession\n\nIn the twelfth month of the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, the Jiajing Emperor died and Zhu Zaihou took the throne. The next year was the first of Longqing, and a general amnesty was declared. Inconvenient policies of the previous reign were corrected under the testament. Officials punished for remonstrance were recalled, and those who had died were honored. Adepts were handed to the courts, and the alchemy workshops and extraordinary purchases were stopped. Half of the next year's land tax was remitted, together with arrears from before the forty-third year of Jiajing. Hai Rui of the Ministry of Revenue was released from prison.[^zhengshi]\n\n## The early Longqing years\n\nIn the first year of Longqing he ended the rite that associated Ruizong with the emperor in the Bright Hall, restored the title of Prince Zhu Houwan of Zheng, honored his mother as Empress Xiaoke, and installed Consort Chen as empress. Chen Yiqin and Zhang Juzheng entered the grand secretariat. In the third month the Jiajing Emperor was buried at the Yongling. That year Altan raided Datong and Shizhou, killed Prefect Wang Liangcai, looted Jiaocheng and Wenshui, and reached the Fen River, so the capital was placed on alert. The raiders withdrew in the winter. In the third month of the second year, his son Yijun was named heir apparent. The same juan goes on to the third year, when general Zhao Ke defeated Altan at Hongcizi.

      "body": "Fu Yi was director of the imperial observatory in the early Tang. This entry records his life as 555 to 639.[^wikidata] The Old Book of Tang gives his name simply as Fu Yi, and the cited Wikidata label is the same, with the surname Fu, so the title stays Fu Yi.[^zhengshi][^wikidata]\n\n## From the Sui into the Tang\n\nThe Old Book of Tang says he was from Ye in Xiangzhou and was especially learned in astronomy and calendrics. In the Kaihuang reign he served Prince Yang Liang of Han as a ceremonial officer. When the prince rebelled, he asked Fu Yi what it meant that Mars had entered the Well. Fu Yi answered that the celestial Well lies on the ecliptic, so Mars passing there was not strange, whereas a well on the ground would be an ill omen. The prince was displeased. After the revolt failed, Fu Yi was spared and moved to Fufeng. Emperor Gaozu, then prefect of Fufeng, treated him with respect and, after taking the throne, summoned him as vice director of the observatory. Director Yu Jian recommended him as his own replacement, and Fu Yi became director.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Director of the observatory\n\nIn the third year of Wude he submitted a new clepsydra method, which was put into use. In the seventh year he memorialized for the suppression of Buddhism, in very direct language, and sent eleven further memorials. Gaozu referred them to the court. Only Zhang Daoyuan, chamberlain of the imperial stud, called the proposal sound. Xiao Yu, president of the secretariat, argued that Fu Yi was defaming a sage and should be punished. Fu Yi replied that the Buddha had left his father by going forth from the city. Gaozu was close to following him when the abdication stopped the matter. In the fifth month of the ninth year of Wude, Fu Yi secretly reported that Venus had appeared in the astral division of Qin and that the Prince of Qin would possess the empire. Gaozu passed the report to Taizong. After Taizong's accession he received Fu Yi and said the earlier report had nearly implicated him, but that Fu Yi should still speak fully. When Taizong asked why he alone rejected Buddhism, Fu Yi said it had come from the Western Regions, did not help the people, and harmed the state. Taizong was inclined to agree.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Death and writings\n\nThe Old Book of Tang says he died in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan at the age of eighty-five. On his deathbed he told his sons to study Laozi, Zhuangzi, and the Six Classics, not the Buddhism then in fashion, and he asked for a plain burial. He did not call a doctor when ill. Once, while drunk, he wrote his own epitaph: he was Fu Yi, a man of green hills and white clouds. He annotated the Laozi, wrote a phonological commentary, and collected anti-Buddhist arguments from the Wei and Jin onward as Gaoshi zhuan in ten juan.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Basic facts\n\n- Name: Fu Yi[^zhengshi]\n- Native place: Ye in Xiangzhou[^zhengshi]\n- Dates on this entry: 555–639[^wikidata]\n- Occupations: astronomer and political figure[^wikidata]\n- Realms recorded on this entry: Sui, Tang, and Northern Zhou[^wikidata]\n- Portrayal: [[person_cn_q138001671|Fu Yi]] (a character in Journey to the West)",

      "body": "Zhu Houzhao was the tenth emperor of the Ming dynasty. His temple name was Wuzong and his era name was Zhengde. This account follows the biography in juan 16 of the Ming History and the sources already cited on this entry.[^zhengshi][^wikidata]\n\n## Family and accession\n\nThe Ming History gives his personal name as Houzhao. He was the eldest son of the Hongzhi Emperor, and his mother was Empress Xiaokangjing. He was named heir apparent in the fifth year of Hongzhi. The history says he was quick-witted and fond of riding and archery. In the fifth month of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, his father died and he took the throne, naming the next year the first year of Zhengde.[^zhengshi]\n\nThis entry records his birth in the fourth year of Hongzhi (1491) and his death in the sixteenth year of Zhengde (1521).[^wikidata] The Ming History says he was thirty-one when he died.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Reign\n\nIn the first year of Zhengde, Minister of Revenue Han Wen led court officials in asking that the eunuchs Ma Yongcheng and his associates be removed from power. Grand Secretaries Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian supported the request, but the emperor did not accept it. Liu Jin then took charge of the Directorate of Ceremonial, and Liu Jian and Xie Qian retired. In the second year of Zhengde the emperor restored the guard of Prince Zhu Chenhao of Ning and built the Leopard House.[^zhengshi]\n\nIn the fifth year, Prince Zhu Zhifan of Anhua rebelled and was soon captured. That June the emperor styled himself the Great Qing Dharma King. In August Liu Jin was imprisoned for treason and then executed. From the sixth year, uprisings spread from the capital region through Shandong, Henan and Sichuan, and were put down over the course of the seventh year.[^zhengshi]\n\nAfter a fire at the Palace of Heavenly Purity in the first month of the ninth year, the emperor began to travel incognito. In the twelfth year he passed Juyong Pass, stayed at Xuanfu, and called himself the General Who Governs Military Affairs and Inspires Awe. That winter he fought for five days near Yingzhou against the forces of the Little Prince. In the thirteenth year he ordered himself enfeoffed as Duke of Zhenguo under the name Zhu Shou.[^zhengshi]\n\nIn the sixth month of the fourteenth year, Prince Zhu Chenhao rebelled. Wang Shouren recovered Nanchang and captured the prince at Qiaoshe. The emperor still marched south, withheld the victory report, and reached Nanjing that winter. In the ninth month of the fifteenth year his boat capsized at Jishui Pond and his health failed. Chenhao was executed in the twelfth month, and the emperor returned to the capital.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Death\n\nIn the third month of the sixteenth year of Zhengde he was dying. He told the eunuchs of the Directorate of Ceremonial to inform the empress dowager, and said that the earlier mistakes had been his own. On the bingyin day of that month he died in the Leopard House at the age of thirty-one. His testament called the eldest son of the Prince of Xing to succeed him. In the fifth month he received his posthumous title and the temple name Wuzong, and was buried at the Kangling.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Basic facts\n\n- Name: Zhu Houzhao[^wikidata]\n- Temple name: Wuzong[^zhengshi]\n- Era name: Zhengde[^zhengshi]\n- Birthplace: [[place_beijing|Beijing]][^wikidata]",

      "body": "Zhu Houcong was the eleventh emperor of the Ming dynasty. His temple name was Shizong and his era name was Jiajing. This account follows juan 17 of the Ming History and the sources already cited on this entry.[^zhengshi][^wikidata]\n\n## Family\n\nThe Ming History gives his personal name as Houcong. He was a grandson of the Chenghua Emperor. His father, Prince Youyuan of Xing, held the principality of Anlu. When that prince died in the fourteenth year of Zhengde, Houcong was thirteen and managed the domain as heir. The name Zhu Houcong is the form given in the sources cited here.[^zhengshi][^wikidata]\n\nThis entry records his birth in 1507, his death in 1567, and his birthplace as Zhongxiang.[^wikidata] Juan 17 of the Ming History ends in the twenty-first year of Jiajing and does not describe his death.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Accession\n\nIn the third month of the sixteenth year of Zhengde, the Zhengde Emperor died without a son. Empress Dowager Cishou and Grand Secretary Yang Tinghe decided to summon the prince from his residence at Xing. He left Anlu and reached the suburbs of the capital in the fourth month. The ritual officers wanted him to ascend as an heir apparent. He replied that the testament made him successor to the throne, not an imperial son. He entered through Daming Gate the same day, took the throne in the Fengtian Hall, and named the next year the first of Jiajing.[^zhengshi]\n\n## The ritual dispute\n\nCourt ritualists first proposed that he treat the Hongzhi Emperor as his imperial father and call the Prince of Xing an imperial uncle. The jinshi Zhang Cong argued that Zhu Houcong inherited the throne without becoming an adopted son, and asked that his own parents be honored and that a temple for the Prince of Xing be built in the capital. Yang Tinghe and others objected. The emperor did not accept their view. In the first year of Jiajing the court for a time called the Hongzhi Emperor imperial father and the prince and princess of Xing his natural parents. In the third year the Prince of Xing was given the title of natural imperial father, and the words \"natural\" were later removed. Officials knelt at the palace gate to protest. Ma Li and 133 others were imprisoned, and sixteen died under the rod. Yang Shen and others were beaten and banished or demoted. That year the Hongzhi Emperor was designated imperial uncle-father, and the emperor's own father was designated imperial father. In the seventh year the Minglun Dadian was completed, and Yang Tinghe and others were posthumously stripped of rank.[^zhengshi]\n\n## The early Jiajing years\n\nIn the fifth year the Daoist Shao Yuanjie was named a zhenren. In the seventeenth year the emperor's father received the temple name Ruizong and his tablet was placed in the imperial ancestral temple, ranked above the Zhengde Emperor. In the eighteenth year Zaihuo was named heir apparent, Zaihou was made Prince of Yu, and Zaichuan Prince of Jing. The emperor traveled to Chengtian and visited the Xianling. In the nineteenth year Yang Zui of the Court of the Imperial Stud remonstrated against the use of elixirs and was beaten to death. In the twenty-first year Minister of Rites Yan Song entered the Grand Secretariat. In the same year a palace plot was punished and Consort Cao and Consort Wang were executed. Juan 17 ends at that point.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Basic facts\n\n- Name: Zhu Houcong[^wikidata]\n- Temple name: Shizong[^zhengshi]\n- Era name: Jiajing[^zhengshi]\n- Birthplace: [[place_cn_420881|Zhongxiang]][^wikidata]",

The Quanzhen school of the Jin dynasty honored him as one of the Four Emperors and Two Empresses and as the first of the Five Patriarchs.

      "body": "Cui Fujun is a Chinese folk deity said to judge the underworld. Wikidata uses Cui Fujun as the Chinese title and also lists Cui Jue, Cui Ci, Cui Ziyu and Cui Yuanjing. The cited Chinese Wikipedia says Tang and Song records are scattered, that the Long Draft Continuation of the Comprehensive Mirror states that his name was lost, and that one tradition calls him Jue while another calls him Ci, courtesy name Ziyu. Because the citations do not settle on one personal name, the titles already on this entry stay unchanged.[^wikidata][^zhwiki]\n\n## Rival origins\n\nThe Chinese Wikipedia reports an account in the Compendium of Gods from the Three Teachings: he was from Gucheng in Qizhou, his father was Cui Rang, he was born on the sixth day of the sixth month of the third year of Daye, and he was named Ziyu. In the seventh year of Zhenguan he was magistrate of Changzi county in Luzhou, and legend says he judged the living by day and the underworld by night. Shanxi gazetteers more often record a Cui Jue of Leping. The same page also tells of his magistracy at Fuyang in Cizhou, and of the Dunhuang tale Tang Taizong Enters the Underworld, in which he, as judge of Fengdu, releases Taizong's soul. Journey to the West mentions that story.[^zhwiki]\n\n## Later titles\n\nThe page goes on to say that during the An Lushan rebellion he appeared in a dream to comfort Emperor Xuanzong and was enfeoffed as the Numinous and Holy Marquis Who Protects the State. In the second year of Jingyou he was advanced to Duke of Manifest Response Who Protects the State, and in the second year of Yuanfu to the corresponding prince. A further title added Zhaohui. Under the Southern Song the story of the clay horse carrying Prince Kang was told. After Zhao Gou took the throne he founded a temple and granted it the plaque Xianwei. In the thirteenth year of Chunxi the deity was reclassified as a perfected lord. Popular usage still called him Cui Fujun.[^zhwiki]\n\n## Basic facts\n\n- Title used here: Cui Fujun[^wikidata]\n- Description on this entry: fictional person[^wikidata]\n- Setting recorded on this entry: Tang[^wikidata]\n- Appears in: [[work_cn_q70784|Journey to the West]]",

      "body": "Sun Zi was an official of Cao Wei. Wikidata gives his name as Sun Zi, and this entry records his death in 251.[^wikidata] In juan 14 of the Records of the Three Kingdoms his biography is attached to that of Liu Fang. The separate note says his courtesy name was Yanlong, so the title stays the personal name.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Early life\n\nThe note says he showed promise as a child, lost both parents at three, and was raised by his elder brother and sister-in-law. He studied at the imperial academy and read widely. Wang Yun of his commandery thought him remarkable at first sight. When Cao Cao was minister of works he summoned Sun Zi, but Sun Zi's brother had been killed by a fellow villager. Sun Zi killed the man himself and took his family to Hedong, so he did not accept the summons. The commandery appointed him again and he declined on grounds of illness. His friend Jia Kui of Hedong persuaded him. He then served as a clerk in the bureau and was recommended as an accounting officer. Minister of the secretariat Xun Yu said the north had long been ruined and its able men scattered, and that he was now seeing Sun, the accounting officer, again. Xun Yu asked that Sun Zi be kept as a gentleman of the secretariat. Sun Zi declined because of the family feud and returned to Hedong.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Keeper of confidential business\n\nAfter the state of Wei was founded he and Liu Fang became secretaries. Before that he had also been a county magistrate and had taken part in the counselor-in-chief's military affairs. When Emperor Wen took the throne they became left and right assistants. At the start of Huangchu the secretariat became the Central Secretariat. Liu Fang was its inspector and Sun Zi its director, each also a palace attendant. Liu Fang was made Marquis of Guannei and Sun Zi Marquis of Guanzhong, and they handled confidential matters. In the third year of Huangchu Sun Zi was advanced to Marquis of Guannei. Emperor Ming favored them still more. Both became mounted attendants, and Sun Zi was advanced to Marquis of Leyang. At the end of Taihe, Wu sent Zhou He by sea to entice Gongsun Yuan. Most of the court opposed a campaign. Only Sun Zi decided to send the army, and it won a great victory. He was advanced to Marquis of Zuoxiang. At the start of Qinglong both men became palace attendants and grand masters of splendor. In the second year of Jingchu, after Liaodong was pacified, he was enfeoffed with his own county as Marquis of Zhongdu.[^zhengshi]\n\n## Last years\n\nAfter Prince of Qi, Cao Fang, took the throne, Sun Zi was made grand master of the right in the first year of Zhengshi. In the sixth year he became general of the guards and still headed the Central Secretariat. In the seventh year one of his sons was made a village marquis. Liu Fang died in the second year of Jiaping. Sun Zi again yielded his post and went home, was appointed general of the agile cavalry, and became a palace attendant. He died in the third year of Jiaping. His posthumous name was Marquis Zhen, and his son Sun Hong succeeded. That year matches the 251 recorded on this entry.[^zhengshi][^wikidata]\n\n## Basic facts\n\n- Name: Sun Zi[^zhengshi]\n- Courtesy name: Yanlong[^zhengshi]\n- Death: third year of Jiaping, recorded here as 251[^zhengshi][^wikidata]\n- Occupation recorded on this entry: political figure[^wikidata]\n- Portrayal: [[person_cn_q124461406|Sun Zi]] (a character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms)",
