Biography & Historical Record
Puyang Yi (濮阳逸, Bộc Dương Dật) was an esteemed civil official and administrator of the late Eastern Han dynasty and Eastern Wu. Originating from Puyang County in Dong Commandery, he belonged to an honorable clan of the Central Plains that was forced to flee southward to the lower Yangtze region amidst the chaos of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and warlord strife.
Possessing consummate administrative talent, calm judgment, and integrity, Puyang Yi entered the service of the Sun family in Jiangdong. He rose through the provincial bureaucracy to become the Administrator of Changsha Commandery (长沙太守). In this vital southern post, he stabilized municipal finance, governed with leniency, and cultivated civil order. He was the father of Puyang Xing (濮阳兴), who later became Chancellor of Eastern Wu under Sun Xiu and Sun Hao.
