}} Lady Wu (died 202),〔 personal name unknown, was the wife of the warlord Sun Jian, who lived in the late Eastern Han dynasty. She bore Sun Jian four sons and a daughter – Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Sun Yi, Sun Kuang and Lady Sun. She was posthumously honoured as "Empress Wulie" in 229 by her second son Sun Quan, who became the founding emperor of the state of Eastern Wu in the Three Kingdoms period. ==Early life and marriage to Sun Jian== Lady Wu was from Wu County (within present-day Suzhou) in Wu Commandery (吳郡), but she grew up in Qiantang County (錢唐縣; within present-day Hangzhou). She was orphaned at a young age so she lived with her younger brother, Wu Jing.〔(孫破虜吳夫人，吳主權母也。本吳人，徙錢唐，早失父母，與弟景居。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 50.〕 Sun Jian heard of her beauty and character and desired to marry her. However, Lady Wu's relatives disliked Sun Jian, whom they perceived as an idler and a rascal, so they wanted to reject his proposal. Sun Jian was embarrassed and angry at their decision. Lady Wu told her relatives, "Why bring disaster upon yourselves just because of your love for me? If this turns out to be a bad marriage, I'll accept it as my fate." Lady Wu's relatives then agreed to her marriage to Sun Jian. She bore Sun Jian four sons and a daughter.〔(孫堅聞其才貌，欲娶之。吳氏親戚嫌堅輕狡，將拒焉，堅甚以慙恨。夫人謂親戚曰：「何愛一女以取禍乎？如有不遇，命也。」於是遂許為婚，生四男一女。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 50.〕 She probably married Sun Jian in 175 or earlier because their first child, Sun Ce, was born that year. According to a story in ''In Search of the Supernatural'', Lady Wu dreamt about the moon entering her body before she gave birth to Sun Ce. Later, before she gave birth to Sun Quan, she had a similar dream about the sun entering her body. When she asked her husband about her strange dreams, he said, "The sun and the moon capture the true essence of yin and yang. They are very auspicious symbols. My descendants will become great men!"〔(搜神記曰：初，夫人孕而夢月入其懷，旣而生策。及權在孕，又夢日入其懷，以告堅曰：「昔姙策，夢月入我懷，今也又夢日入我懷，何也？」堅曰：「日月者陰陽之精，極貴之象，吾子孫其興乎！」) ''Sou Shen Ji'' annotation in ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 50.〕 In 190, when Sun Jian raised an army to join the campaign against Dong Zhuo, he relocated his family from Changsha Commandery (長沙郡; covering present-day Changsha and parts of Hunan) to Shu County (舒縣), Lujiang Commandery (廬江郡), which is in present-day Shucheng County, Lu'an, Anhui. In Shu, Sun Ce met and befriended Zhou Yu, who was about the same age as him. Zhou Yu offered to let Sun Ce and his family stay with him and he paid respects to Lady Wu as though she was his real mother. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce became very close friends.〔(初，孫堅興義兵討董卓，徙家於舒。堅子策與瑜同年，獨相友善，瑜推道南大宅以舍策，升堂拜母，有無通共。) ''Sanguozhi'' vol. 54.〕 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「Lady Wu (Sun Jian's wife)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
