Yan Zhenqing (顏真卿; 709 – 784) was a Chinese calligrapher, military general, and politician loyal to the Tang dynasty. He was the cousin of Yan Gaoqing,[1] whose son was Yan Jiming,[2] and Jiming would refer to him as "Thirteenth Uncle".[3]
He originally held a position at the imperial capital of Chang'an, but he ran afoul of Prime Minister Yang Guozhong and was consequently demoted to the post of Grand Protector of Pingyuan Commandery.[3]
Early in the An-Shi Rebellion, Gaoqing and Jiming organized a loyalist army to combat An Lushan's forces, but they suffered a major defeat in 756 and were executed in Luoyang once that city fell to the rebels. Their deaths spurred Zhenqing to receive the Hidden One Li E in Pingyuan, vowing to renew his family's alliance with him against An Lushan.[4] He thereupon became the alliance leader of the Hebei Army of Justice (河北義軍),[4] and their combined efforts helped to turn the tide and save the Tang.[5]
In 758,[6] still grieving over Jiming's demise, Zhenqing composed "Draft of a Requiem to My Nephew" (《祭侄文稿》), which became one of his most celebrated works.[7]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Yan Zhenqing is a historical figure who served in the Tang dynasty during the An Lushan Rebellion.[8] He will be featuring in the manhua Assassin's Creed: Dynasty according to its promotional material. In one such material, a character profile of Yan Zhenqing, his death date is given as 756.[7] This is most likely an error caused by confusion with his cousin Yan Gaoqing, who was executed that year alongside his son Yan Jiming.[6][9]
