Kingdom of Historical – Three Kingdoms Officer Names
[ Home –> Three Kingdoms History –> Officer Names –> Kingdom of Historical ]
Welcome to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms English/Chinese Hanzi project. The objective is simple. We wish to create an ever-growing list of Chinese officers with their names as found in English followed by their Chinese Hanzi. If you know the Hanzi for even one officer that is not listed on this page, please send me an email. You can send the decimal values over my text form, link to a web page, or wait for me to reply so you can get my address.

| Zhuang Zi [Nan Hua]* | 莊子[南華] | 莊子[南華] |
Old Taoist Sage from Mt. Hua that gave Zhang Jue the Way of Peace (太平要術). * Though frequently presented under the proper name, Zhuang Zi (莊子), the literal text presents his name as “The Nanhua Immortal” (南華真人). This is sometimes simplified to ‘Nanhua’ or ‘Nan Hua’ (南華), which is not correct. Zhuang Zi is none other than the famous Taoist sage from the Warring States period, and with this in mind, you may also see him listed, of course, as Chang Tzu (Wade-Giles), Zhuang Zhou (莊周) (his given name), Meng Official (蒙吏), Meng Zhuang (蒙莊), and Meng Elder (蒙叟). He also appears in some Koei games as ‘Nan Hua’. | ||
