Shi Xie
Shi Xie () (137–226),
courtesy name Weiyan, also rendered as
Sĩ Nhiếp in Vietnamese, was a Chinese military general, politician, and warlord who lived during the
Eastern Han dynasty and early
Three Kingdoms period of China. He served as the Administrator of
Jiaozhi Commandery in present-day northern
Vietnam. The third-century historical text ''
Records of the Three Kingdoms'' (''Sanguozhi'') is a major source of Chinese traditions concerning Shi Xie's life. He promoted
Buddhism throughout his life. After his death, the Vietnamese attached many legends to him and honoured him as
Sĩ Vương (''King Sĩ'', 士王) in some temples.
