Profile
Sun Gai was a man of Rencheng and Administrator of Chen Commandery under Wei. He has no biography of his own in the Records; his name appears in a single line among the men of letters appended at the end of the biography of Liu Shao in the Biographies of Wang, Wei, the Two Lius and Fu, Records of Wei 21. Chen Shou recorded him, together with Su Lin, Wei Dan, Xiahou Hui, Du Zhi and others, as one who wrote essays and rhapsodies that were fairly widely transmitted in the world. Records, Wei 21 §78–79
Chen Shou's main text does not record his courtesy name, any other offices he held, or his dates of birth and death, and Chen Shou's assessment at the end of the volume does not deal with him separately. He does not appear in the Romance. Records, Wei 21 §79 · 99
