}} Zhong Hui (225–264),〔 courtesy name Shiji, was a military general, politician and writer of the state of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms period. He was the younger son of Zhong Yao, who served as the Grand Tutor in the Wei imperial court, and was already known for being very insightful, intelligent and well read since he was young. Zhong Hui rose to prominence in the 250s when he became a close aide to Sima Zhao, the regent and ''de facto'' ruler of Wei. He advised Sima Zhao on how to deal with the Third Rebellion in Shouchun from 257–258 and was highly regarded by the latter. With Sima Zhao's help, Zhong Hui steadily moved up the ranks and became one of the key figures in the Wei government. In 263, the Wei imperial court ordered Zhong Hui, Deng Ai and Zhuge Xu to lead separate armies to attack and conquer Wei's rival state, Shu Han. During and after the campaign against Shu, Zhong Hui employed machinations to eliminate Deng Ai and Zhuge Xu – thereby putting himself in full control of all the Wei armies in Shu after Shu was conquered. In 264, with backing from Jiang Wei, a former Shu general, Zhong Hui started a rebellion against Sima Zhao. However, the revolt failed when Zhong Hui's plan to purge several Wei officers (because he was worried they would not support him) was leaked out. The officers broke out from custody, regrouped with their men, mutinied against Zhong Hui and killed him and Jiang Wei. ==Early life and career== Zhong Hui's ancestral home was in Changshe County (長社縣), Yingchuan Commandery (潁川郡), which is located east of present-day Changge, Xuchang, Henan. He was the younger son of Zhong Yao, who served as the Grand Tutor (太傅) in the Wei imperial court. At a young age, he was already known for being insightful and intelligent.〔(鍾會字士季，潁川長社人，太傅繇小子也。少敏惠夙成。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 28.〕 His mother, Zhang Changpu, was known for being very strict with her son and for her influential role in his early education. The Wei official Jiang Ji wrote in one of his works that one can tell what a person's character is like by observing his/her eye pupils. When Zhong Hui was four years old, his father sent him to meet Jiang Ji, who noted that the boy was extraordinary. By the time Zhong Hui reached adulthood, he was already famous for being hardworking, well read, and versed in different types of arts. During the Zhengshi era (240–249) in the reign of Cao Fang, he served as a "Gentleman Cadet of the Imperial Library" (秘書郎) and was later promoted to "Gentleman of the Central Imperial Secretariat" (尚書中書侍郎). He was awarded the title of a "Secondary Marquis" (爵關內) when Cao Mao ascended the throne in 254.〔(中護軍蔣濟著論，謂「觀其眸子，足以知人。」會年五歲，繇遣見濟，濟甚異之，曰：「非常人也。」及壯，有才數技藝，而愽學精練名理，以夜續晝，由是獲聲譽。正始中，以為秘書郎，遷尚書中書侍郎。高貴鄉公即尊位，賜爵關內侯。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 28.〕 Zhong Hui studied the ''Yijing''. After his death, a 20-volume book titled ''Dao Lun'' (道論) was discovered in his house. The book, which was believed to be written by Zhong Hui, discussed either Legalist or Logician philosophy even though its title suggests it was about Taoism. When he reached adulthood, his fame placed him on par with the philosopher Wang Bi,〔(會常論易無玄體、才性同異。及會死後，於會家得書二十篇，名曰道論，而實刑名家也，其文似會。初，會弱冠與山陽王弼並知名。弼好論儒道，辭才逸辯，注易及老子，為尚書郎，年二十餘卒。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 28.〕 who was about the same age as him. 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「Zhong Hui」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
