Profile
Zhang Tai was a man of Julu who served Wei as Grand Herald. He has no biography of his own in the Records; he appears in a single line at the end of the account of Bing Yuan in the Biographies of Yuan, Zhang, Liang, Guo, Tian, Wang, Bing and Guan, Records of Wei 11. After recording Bing Yuan's death, Chen Shou wrote that thereafter the Grand Herald Zhang Tai of Julu and the Intendant of Henan Pang Chan of Fufeng were praised as incorrupt and worthy. Records, Wei 11 §73–74
Chen Shou's main text does not record his courtesy name, his deeds or his death, and he does not appear in the assessment of Volume 11 either. He does not appear in the Romance. Records, Wei 11 §74 · 111
In the Records
Bing Yuan accompanied Taizu when he campaigned against Wu, and died. Chen Shou went on to write that thereafter the Grand Herald Zhang Tai of Julu and the Intendant of Henan Pang Chan of Fufeng were praised as incorrupt and worthy, and that the Minister Coachman of the Yongning Palace Zhang Ge of Dong Commandery was known for his simplicity and plainness. Records, Wei 11 §73–74
In the same passage Chen Shou included the words with which Du Shu praised Zhang Ge in his Family Admonitions, but wrote nothing more about Zhang Tai. Records, Wei 11 §74
This single line is the only place in Chen Shou's main text where Zhang Tai of Julu appears; when he became Grand Herald, his courtesy name and his death are not recorded. The assessment of Volume 11 discusses Yuan Huan, Bing Yuan, Zhang Fan and others but does not mention Zhang Tai. Records, Wei 11 §74 · 111
