Profile
Xun Han was a Cavalier Regular Attendant of Wei and the son of Xun Yun, the eldest son of Xun Yu. He has no biography of his own in the Records; at the end of the record of Xun Yu in Records of Wei 10 there is a short passage headed 'Xun Yun's son Xun Han'. His father Xun Yun incurred the deep hatred of Emperor Wen and died young, but Xun Han and Xun Yi (荀霬), being Emperor Wen's nephews through his sister, still enjoyed favor. Records, Wei 10 §45–47
Xun Han succeeded to the line, became Cavalier Regular Attendant, was raised in rank to Marquis of Guangyang District, and died at the age of thirty. Chen Shou's main text does not record his courtesy name or the year of his death, and he does not appear in Chen Shou's assessment in Records of Wei 10. He does not appear in the Romance. Records, Wei 10 §47 · 90–91
In the Records
Xun Han's grandfather Xun Yu, courtesy name Wenruo, was a man of Yingyin County in Yingchuan Commandery. Taizu gave his daughter in marriage to Xun Yu's eldest son Xun Yun; she was later called Princess Anyang. When Taizu set out to campaign against Sun Quan, Xun Yu fell ill and stayed behind at Shouchun, where he died in anxiety; he was given the posthumous name Marquis Jing. Records, Wei 10 §2 · 40 · 42–43
His son Xun Yun succeeded to the marquisate and rose in office to General of the Household Rapid as Tigers. Earlier, when Emperor Wen and Cao Zhi, Marquis of Pingyuan, were both being considered as heir, Emperor Wen had humbled himself to show courtesy to Xun Yu. But after Xun Yu died, Xun Yun was friendly with Cao Zhi and on bad terms with Xiahou Shang, so Emperor Wen came to hate Xun Yun deeply. Xun Yun died young, but his sons Xun Han and Xun Yi (荀霬), being Emperor Wen's nephews through his sister, still enjoyed favor. Records, Wei 10 §45
Xun Han succeeded to the line, became Cavalier Regular Attendant, and was raised in rank to Marquis of Guangyang District. He died at the age of thirty, and his son Xun Jun succeeded him. Records, Wei 10 §47
These two passages are the only places in Chen Shou's main text where Xun Han appears, and his courtesy name and the year of his death are not recorded. In his assessment in Records of Wei 10, Chen Shou only said that Xun Yu had the air of a king's helper and that Xun You and Jia Xu came close to Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, and did not take up Xun Han. Records, Wei 10 §45–47 · 90–91
