Profile

Du Zhi was a man of Hedong and Prefect of the Gentlemen of the Palace of Wei. The Records give him no biography of his own; 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, Sun Gai 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 records neither his courtesy name nor any other offices he held, nor the dates of his birth and death, and Chen Shou's assessment at the end of the volume does not comment on him separately. He does not appear in the Romance. Records, Wei 21 §79 · 99

In the Records

Records of Wei 21, the Biographies of Wang, Wei, the Two Lius and Fu, appends to the biography of Liu Shao his contemporary Miao Xi of Donghai and Miao Xi's friend Zhongchang Tong of Shanyang, and then adds Su Lin, Xiahou Hui, Sun Gai and Du Zhi. Chen Shou wrote that the Cavalier Attendant-in-Ordinary Su Lin of Chenliu, the Grandee of Splendid Happiness Wei Dan of Jingzhao, the Administrator of Le'an Xiahou Hui of Qiao State, the Administrator of Chen Commandery Sun Gai of Rencheng, the Prefect of the Gentlemen of the Palace Du Zhi of Hedong and others also wrote essays and rhapsodies that were fairly widely transmitted in the world. Records, Wei 21 §74–79

This passage is the only place Du Zhi appears in Chen Shou's main text, which does not record his courtesy name, any other offices he held, the dates of his birth and death, or the titles of his writings. In his assessment at the end of the volume Chen Shou commented only on Wang Can, Xu Gan, Wei Ji, Liu Shao, Liu Yi and Fu Gu, and did not comment on Du Zhi separately. Records, Wei 21 §78–79 · 99
