| Temple = | Other = }} Sima Fang (149–219), courtesy name Jiangong, was a politician who lived in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was a son of Sima Juan. Sima Fang served in various appointments, including "Prefect of Luoyang" (洛陽令) and "Intendant of Jingzhao" (京兆尹; "Intendant of the Capital"). ==Relationship with Cao Cao== The ''Cao Man Zhuan'' (曹瞞傳; ''Biography of Cao Man''), an unofficial biography of Cao Cao (a prominent warlord who lived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty) claimed that when Sima Fang was serving as a Right Assistant (右丞) in the Imperial Secretariat (尚書), he once recommended Cao to assume the appointment of "Commandant of the North District" (北部尉) in Luoyang (the Eastern Han capital).〔(曹瞞傳曰：為尚書右丞司馬建公所舉。及公為王，召建公到鄴，與歡飲，謂建公曰：「孤今日可復作尉否？」建公曰：「昔舉大王時，適可作尉耳。」王大笑。建公名防，司馬宣王之父。) Annotations from the ''Cao Man Zhuan'' (曹瞞傳) to Chen Shou's ''Records of the Three Kingdoms'', Volume 1, Biography of Cao Cao.〕 However, the ''Sitishu Shixu'' (四體書勢序; Preface to ''Forms of the Four Modes of Writing'') mentioned that Cao Cao was recommended by another official Liang Hu (梁鵠).〔(四體書勢序曰：梁鵠以公為北部尉。) Annotations from the ''Sitishu Shi Xu'' (四體書勢序) to Chen Shou's ''Records of the Three Kingdoms'', Volume 1, Biography of Cao Cao.〕 Pei Songzhi, who annotated Cao Cao's biography in the ''Records of the Three Kingdoms'' (''Sanguozhi''), commented that the ''Cao Man Zhuan'' account was correct because, according to Wang Yin (王隱)'s ''Jin Shu'' (晉書), during the Jin Dynasty, an Academician (博士) once raised an example about Sima Fang recommending Cao Cao to be the "Commandant of the North District".〔(臣松之案司馬彪序傳，建公不為右丞，疑此不然，而王隱晉書云趙王篡位，欲尊祖為帝，博士馬平議稱京兆府君昔舉魏武帝為北部尉，賊不犯界，如此則為有徵。) Pei Songzhi. Annotations to Chen Shou's ''Records of the Three Kingdoms'', Volume 1, Biography of Cao Cao.〕 In 216, after Cao Cao was conferred the title of a vassal king – "King of Wei" (魏王) – by Emperor Xian, he summoned Sima Fang to meet him in Ye (鄴; the capital of his vassal kingdom, in present-day Handan, Hebei). He joked with Sima Fang, "Do you think the Cao Cao of today can still be a Commandant of the North District?" Sima Fang replied, "When I recommended Your Highness to assume that appointment, I knew you were capable of performing your duty well." Cao Cao laughed.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sima Fang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
