Biography & Historical Record
Lady Lu (陆氏, 陸氏, Lục thị; c. 210s–?) was a noblewoman of Eastern Wu from the prominent Lu clan of Wu Commandery. She was the daughter of Eastern Wu Chancellor and Grand Commander Lu Xun (陆逊) and Princess Sun Shi (daughter of Sun Ce), making her a maternal granddaughter of Sun Ce and the elder sister of supreme general Lu Kang (陆抗).
Representing the vital matrimonial alliances that united the Four Great Clans of Jiangdong (Gu, Lu, Zhu, Zhang), Lady Lu married General of Vigorous Might Zhang Cheng (张承) (son of Zhang Zhao) and was the mother of heroic general Gu Cheng (顾承). Renowned for her moral fortitude, aristocratic elegance, and wisdom, Lady Lu upheld the honor and dignity of Jiangdong’s greatest lineages amidst the turbulent succession crises of Sun Quan’s later reign.
