Profile
Shen Heng was a Wu envoy who served under Sun Quan as Clerk of the Western Bureau. He has no biography of his own in the Records, and his name appears once in the Biography of the Lord of Wu in Records of Wu 2. When the Wei emperor wished to enfeoff Sun Quan's son Sun Deng, Sun Quan submitted a letter declining the enfeoffment on the grounds that Sun Deng was still young, and further sent Shen Heng, Clerk of the Western Bureau, to express his thanks and at the same time present local products. Records, Wu 2 §40
Chen Shou's main text does not record his courtesy name, his origin, his other deeds or his death, nor does it assess him. He does not appear in the Romance. Records, Wu 2 §40
