* Wu Zhi, adviser under Cao Pi of the Kingdom of Wei

That year, he sent his generals Wei Wen ( 衛溫 ) and Zhuge Zhi ( 諸葛直 ) with a navy of 10, 000 into the East China Sea to seek the legendary islands of Yizhou ( 夷洲 ) and Danzhou ( 亶洲 ) to seek to conquer them, despite strenuous opposition of Lu Xun and Quan Cong.

Instead of seeing his own fault in this venture, Sun Quan simply executed Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi.

* The Chinese city of Jinyang is severely flooded in the Battle of Jinyang, where the elite families of Jin, Zhao, Zhi, Wei, and Han, fight.

The Wei and the Han swap allegiances to side with Zhao and eliminate the Zhi house.

Wa was also mentioned in 257 in the Wei zhi, a section of the San Guo Zhi compiled by the 3rd century scholar Chen Shou.

The Wei Zhi, which is part of the San Guo Zhi, first mentions Yamataikoku and Queen Himiko in the 3rd century.

Though Kim Busik was apparently ignorant of, or scorned to quote, Japanese histories, he lifts generously from the Chinese dynastic chronicles and even unofficial Chinese records, most prominently the Wei shu ( 魏書, Book of Wei ), Sanguo Zhi ( 三國志 ), Jin Shu ( 晉書 ), Jiu Tangshu ( 舊唐書, Old history of Tang ), Xin Tangshu ( 新唐書, New history of Tang ), and the Zizhi Tongjian ( 資治通鑑, Comprehensive mirror for aid in government ).

This allowed other clans to gain fiefs and military authority, and decades of internecine struggle led to the establishment of four major families, the Han, Zhao, Wei and Zhi.

In 453 BC, at the Battle of Jinyang, the Han, Zhao and Wei allied and destroyed the Zhi family, dividing its lands between them.

In 254, Jiang Wei, after Li Jian ( 李簡 ), the county magistrate of Didao secretly declared that he would defect, again advanced on Didao and took the city, but was hindered from a local resistance force led by Xu Zhi ( 徐質 ).

In the last years of the Spring and Autumn Period, three of these houses-the founders of the states of Wei, Zhao and Han respectively, first attacked and killed the dominant house of Zhi ( 知 ) in 453 BC, and gradually divided the lands of Jin between themselves.

Wall – Sun – Sun primes are named after Donald Dines Wall, Zhi Hong Sun and Zhi Wei Sun ; Z. H. Sun and Z. W. Sun showed in 1992 that if the first case of Fermat's last theorem was false for a certain prime p, then p would have to be a Wall – Sun – Sun prime.

Its " Records of Wei " ( Wei Zhi 魏志 ), which covers the Cao Wei kingdom ( 220-265 ) history, has a Worenchuan ( 倭人傳 " Account of the Wa People ", Japanese Wajinden 倭人伝 ) section with the oldest description of Himiko ( or Pimiko 卑彌呼 ) and Yamatai.

Commentators take this " Iyo " ( 壹與, with 壹 " one ", an old variant of 一 ) as a miscopy of Toyo ( 臺與, with 臺 " platform ; terrace "), paralleling the Wei Zhi writing Yamatai 邪馬臺 as Yamaichi 邪馬壹.

While both clearly incorporated the above Wei Zhi reports, they made some changes, such as specifying the " some seventy or eighty years " of Wa wars occurred between 146 and 189, during the reigns of Han Emperors Huan and Ling.

One remarkable exception to early Japanese histories overlooking Himiko is the Nihon Shoki quoting the Wei Zhi three times.

It is revealing that the Nihon Shoki editors chose to omit the Wei Zhi particulars about Himiko.

* Guo Wei, also known as Emperor Taizu of Later Zhou

The equal-field system of the Northern Wei Dynasty ( 386 – 534 ) was also kept, although there were a few modifications.

Wei soldiers and horses also suffered casualties of more than half, and the Xianbei people were all complaining.

* Wu Qi, Chinese military general, Prime Minister of the State of Chu, also a servant of the State of Lu ( born in Wei )

The Northern Wei Dynasty (), also known as the Tuoba Wei ( 拓拔魏 ), Later Wei ( 後魏 ), or Yuan Wei ( 元魏 ), was a dynasty which ruled northern China from 386 to 534 ( de jure until 535 ).

Described as " part of an era of political turbulence and intense social and cultural change ", the Northern Wei Dynasty is particularly noted for unifiying northern China in 439: this was also a period of introduced foreign ideas ; such as Buddhism, which became firmly established.

Mohuba was succeeded in 246 by his son Muyan ( 木延 ) who also aided the Cao Wei campaign against the Goguryeo that same year.

Sui and Tang dynasties were founded by Han Chinese generals who also served the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The Tuoba states of Dai and Northern Wei also claimed to possess the quality of earth in the Chinese five element analogy.

At the same time, Cao has also been granted the title of " King of Wei " by the emperor and Sun Quan became known as the " Duke of Wu ".

Many also adopt a European-style name ( typically English ) either by reversing the Chinese order ( e. g., " Wei Zhang ") or by choosing a new name entirely ( e. g., " John Zhang ").

Tsunoda 1951: 14 ) records that in 238 CE the Queen of Wa sent officials with tribute to the Wei emperor Cao Rui, who reciprocated with lavish gifts including a gold seal with the official title " Queen of Wa Friendly to Wei ".

Historical records did not provide the information on whether other members of Wei Bao's family were spared as well, but it was likely the case.
