Profile
Tang Gu was a native of Danyang and a Confucian scholar of Wu. In the Records a short biography of him is attached after the account of Kan Ze in the Biographies of Zhang, Yan, Cheng, Kan and Xue in Records of Wu 8, and Chen Shou introduces him as a senior from Kan Ze's home district. The main text of Chen Shou does not record his courtesy name. Records, Wu 8 §27–28
He cultivated himself and accumulated learning and was called a Confucian scholar; he wrote commentaries on the Discourses of the States, the Gongyang Commentary and the Guliang Commentary, and always had several dozen students. When Sun Quan became King of Wu, he was made Gentleman Consultant, and Lu Xun, Zhang Wen, Luo Tong and others all bowed to him; in the 4th year of Huangwu (225) he became Supervisor of the Imperial Secretariat, and he died after that. Records, Wu 8 §28
In his assessment of Records of Wu 8, Chen Shou called Yan Jun, Cheng Bing and Kan Ze the Confucian scholars of their age, but said nothing separately about Tang Gu. He does not appear in the Romance. Records, Wu 8 §63
In the Records
Tang Gu, a senior from Kan Ze's home district, was a native of Danyang. He too cultivated himself and accumulated learning and was called a Confucian scholar. He wrote commentaries on the Discourses of the States, the Gongyang Commentary and the Guliang Commentary, and always had several dozen students. Records, Wu 8 §28
When Sun Quan became King of Wu, he appointed Tang Gu Gentleman Consultant, and Lu Xun, Zhang Wen, Luo Tong and others all bowed to him. In the 4th year of Huangwu (225) Tang Gu became Supervisor of the Imperial Secretariat, and he died after that. This one passage is the only place in the main text of Chen Shou where Tang Gu appears, and his courtesy name, the year of his death and his age at death are not recorded. Records, Wu 8 §28
In his assessment of Records of Wu 8, Chen Shou discussed Zhang Hong and the father and son Xue Zong and Xue Ying, and said that Masters Yan Jun, Cheng Bing and Kan Ze were the Confucian scholars of their age. The assessment does not discuss Tang Gu separately. Records, Wu 8 §63
