}} Han Dang (died 227),〔 courtesy name Yigong, was a military general serving under the warlord Sun Quan in the late Eastern Han dynasty and the early Three Kingdoms period. He previously served under Sun Quan's predecessors – Sun Jian (Sun Quan's father) and Sun Ce (Sun Quan's elder brother). ==Life== Han Dang was from Lingzhi county (令支縣), Liaoxi commandery (遼西郡), which is in present-day Qian'an, Tangshan, Hebei. He possessed great physical strength and was highly skilled in archery and horse riding. His abilities were recognised by the warlord Sun Jian, who recruited him. Han Dang accompanied Sun Jian on his military exploits throughout the 180s until 191, from suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the campaign against Dong Zhuo. He was hardworking and made many contributions in battle. However, even though he was serving in an army, he was actually more of a ''youxia'' or mercenary, so he was not awarded any titles for his achievements. He remained as a "Major of Separate Command" (別部司馬) under Sun Jian.〔(韓當字義公，遼西令支人也。以便弓馬，有膂力，幸於孫堅，從征伐周旋，數犯危難，陷敵擒虜，為別部司馬。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 55.〕〔(吳書曰：當勤苦有功，以軍旅陪隷，分於英豪，故爵位不加。終於堅世，為別部司馬。) ''Wu Shu'' annotation in ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 55.〕 After Sun Jian's death in 191, Han Dang continued serving under Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce. He accompanied Sun Ce on his conquests in the Jiangdong (or Wu) region. The captured territories later served as the foundation of the state of Eastern Wu. Han Dang was promoted to "First-to-Ascend Colonel" (先登校尉) and was given 2,000 troops under his command and 50 horses. In 200, Han Dang pledged allegiance to Sun Ce's younger brother, Sun Quan, after Sun Ce was assassinated in a hunting expedition. He participated in the battle against a minor warlord Liu Xun, the Battle of Jiangxia, and the campaign at Poyang (鄱陽). He was later appointed as the Chief (長) of Le'an county (樂安縣). The Shanyue – tribal peoples in the Wu territories – were afraid of him and submitted to his governorship.〔(及孫策東渡，從討三郡，遷先登校尉，授兵二千，騎五十匹。從征劉勳，破黃祖，還討鄱陽，領樂安長，山越畏服。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 55.〕 Han Dang participated in various battles and campaigns during his service under Sun Quan. In the winter of 208–209, he fought under the command of Zhou Yu at the Battle of Red Cliffs against Cao Cao's forces. In 219, he joined Lü Meng in the successful invasion of Jing Province, which resulted in Sun Quan seizing all territories in the province which used to be under Liu Bei's control. Han Dang was promoted to Lieutenant-General (偏將軍) and appointed as the Administrator (太守) of Yongchang commandery (永昌郡). Between 221 and 222, Liu Bei launched a campaign against Sun Quan to retake Jing Province, leading to the Battle of Xiaoting. Han Dang fought in the battle and he, together with Lu Xun, Zhu Ran and others, scored a major victory over Liu Bei. For his contributions, Han Dang was further promoted to "General of Vehement Might" (威烈將軍) and received the title of a "Marquis of a Chief Village" (都亭侯). In 223, Han Dang participated in the Battle of Jiangling and resisted the Wei forces led by Cao Zhen.〔(後以中郎將與周瑜等拒破曹公，又與呂蒙襲取南郡，遷偏將軍，領永昌太守。宜都之役，與陸遜、朱然等共攻蜀軍於涿鄉，大破之，徙威烈將軍，封都亭侯。曹真攻南郡，當保東南。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 55.〕 In 223, Han Dang was granted the title "Marquis of Shicheng" (石城侯), promoted to "General of Illustrious Martial Might" (昭武將軍), and appointed as the Administrator of Guanjun commandery (冠軍郡). He was later given an additional appointment of "Area Commander" (都督) to oversee the military affairs in his jurisdiction. When some bandits caused trouble in Danyang commandery (丹楊郡), Han Dang led 10,000 elite troops to attack the bandits and defeated them.〔(黃武二年，封石城侯，遷昭武將軍，領冠軍太守，後又加都督之號。將敢死及解煩兵萬人，討丹楊賊，破之。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 55.〕 Han Dang died in 227,〔 about two years before Sun Quan officially declared himself 'Emperor' and established the state of Eastern Wu. 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「Han Dang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
