imported>Sol Pacificus The title is usually translated generically in scholarship as "administrator" or "governor", but alongside the inconsistency, it causes confusion with other titles they generically the same way (like the governors of provinces and circuits). That's why I advocate that the title should just be translated as literally as possible for clarity. / I wrote this up quickly in case editors would be confused about what this is. Missing a lot of info. Someone help with categories please. |

A grand protector (太守; Mandarin: tàishǒu) was the chief executive of a commandery in imperial China.
At the outbreak of the An Lushan Rebellion in late 755, incumbent grand protectors of the Tang dynasty included Yan Gaoqing of Changshan[1] and Yan Zhenqing of Pingyuan.[2] When Gaoqing sent his son Yan Jiming to raise a call-to-arms across all twenty-four commanderies of Hebei Circuit against An Lushan, he failed to win the support of the other grand protectors, and Grand Protector Zhang of Boling even sent an assassin to try to kill him in Qinghe Commandery. He was saved by the Hidden One Li E, however, who pledged himself to his cause.[3][4]
