Zhang Anshi

Zhang Anshi

Zhang Anshi (Chinese: 張安世, Chinese style name Ziru 子孺, died 68 BCE) was a Chinese official of the Han Dynasty.

He was a precocious student who attracted attention in a famous incident. During an Imperial progress, to which he was attached in a subordinate capacity, three boxes of books were missing. He was able however to repeat the contents of each so accurately that on recovery of the books they were found to tally exactly with his description. The Emperor Wudi immediately appointed him to high office, and he subsequently rose under the Emperor Xuandi to be President of the Board of War, in succession to He Guang. Canonised as 敬侯.
