Zhuge Qiao(204–228),[a]courtesy nameBosong,was an official of the state ofShu Hanin theThree Kingdomsperiod of China. He was the adopted son ofZhuge Liang,theImperial Chancellorand regent of Shu from 223 to 234. His biological father was Zhuge Liang's elder brotherZhuge Jin,a military general of Shu's ally state,Eastern Wu.
Life
[edit]Zhuge Qiao and his elder brotherZhuge Kewere very famous in Eastern Wu but many people felt that Zhuge Qiao was not as talented as his brother.[3]
Zhuge Liang did not have any sons initially so he requested to adopt Zhuge Qiao as his heir. Zhuge Jin sent Zhuge Qiao to Shu after seeking permission from the Wu emperorSun Quan.Zhuge Qiao became Zhuge Liang's adopted son. Zhuge Liang changed Zhuge Qiao's originalcourtesy name"Zhongshen" to "Bosong". Zhuge Qiao was appointed as a Chief Commandant of Escorting Cavalry ( phụ mã đô úy ), and he followed Zhuge Liang toHanzhong Commandery.[4]Zhuge Liang once wrote a letter to Zhuge Jin, "(Zhuge) Qiao should have returned toChengdu(the Shu capital). However, I see that the sons of the other Shu generals have inherited their fathers' legacies, so I thought we should share honour and shame together with them. I have put (Zhuge) Qiao in command of 500-600 soldiers and deployed him to the valley together with the sons of the other generals. "[5]
Zhuge Qiao died in 228 at the age of 25 (byEast Asian age reckoning).[a]Zhuge Qiao's son, Zhuge Pan ( chư cát phàn ), served in Shu as well and his highest appointment was Protector of the Army and Soaring Martial General ( hành hộ quân dực võ tương quân ), but he also died at a young age. After Zhuge Ke and his family were massacred in Wu in acoup d'étatin 253, Zhuge Pan reverted to his original lineage and travelled to Wu to continue his biological grandfather's bloodline there.[6]

[edit]Notes
[edit]- ^abcdTheSanguozhistated that Zhuge Qiao died at the age of 25 (byEast Asian age reckoning) in the 1st year of the Jianxing era (223-237) inLiu Shan's reign.[1]However, some scholars argued that Zhuge Qiao accompanied Zhuge Liang in an army at Han Zhong in 227, and citing the biographies of other personalities inSanguozhi,made the case that there was a mistake in Qiao's biography. In Qing-era scholar He Zhuo's opinion, he thought that the character “Nguyên (first)” should be “Lục (six)” instead, and defined Qiao's death year to be the 6th year of the Jianxing era. By calculation, Zhuge Qiao's birth year should be around 204.[2]
