Shao Huang

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shao Huang (邵黄, c. 164 AD - ???, in pinyin: Shào Huáng), was a general of the Kingdom of Shu in the Three Kingdoms period of China.

Shao Huang is best portrayed through his description in his Sanguo Zhi biography by Chen Shou. Some sources suggest that Shao Huang was a childhood friend of Zhang Fei, but his official biography states that he was raised by Nanman nomads in the province of southern Nanyue.

When Liu Bei entered Yizhou in his war against Liu Zhang, Shao Huang was given the rank of General of the Northern Rivers, but was later demoted when Liu Shan became successor. It is said that Shao Huang was such a dedicated vassal that he soon after died of shame.
