Biography & Historical Record
Lady Zhang (张夫人, Trương phu nhân) was a concubine of Sima Yi (司马懿, Tư Mã Ý). Jin-era clan registers name her as mother of Sima Wang (司马望, Tư Mã Vọng), courtesy Zichu (子初, Tử Sơ), a senior Wei–Jin general and prince.
Critical disambiguation: she is not Zhang Chunhua (张春华, Trương Xuân Hoa), Sima Yi’s principal wife and mother of Sima Shi and Sima Zhao (son). Both women bear the Zhang clan label, but 张春华 is wife (妻) and 张夫人 is concubine (妾) in the genealogical split used on this site.
Role in Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Unnamed in the novel. Her son Sima Wang appears in later historical narrative outside the core ROTK cast.
