Biography & Historical Record
Chong Fu (种拂, Chõng Phất), courtesy name Yingbo (颖伯, tự Dĩnh Bá), was an Eastern Han minister from Luoyang in Henan. Son of the noted official Chong Gao (种暠) and father of Chong Shao (种邵), he served in a long chain of central and regional posts — Attendant Officer under the Director of Retainers, magistrate of Wan, Administrator of Yingchuan, Imperial Household Grandee, Minister of Works, and finally Grand Master of Ceremonies. He was killed in 191 when the warlords Li Jue and Guo Si stormed Luoyang.
Role in Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 9 (Wang Yun Sets the Linked Stratagem; Dong Zhuo is Put to Death at the Gate) names Chong Fu among the loyal Han ministers at Luoyang during the crisis surrounding Dong Zhuo‘s assassination. As Wang Yun and Lu Bu strike down Dong Zhuo, the capital remains unstable; Chong Fu belongs to the senior official class that the novel tracks through the power vacuum left by Dong Zhuo’s death — the same political world that soon falls to Li Jue and Guo Si’s sack of the city, in which Chong Fu historically perished.
