Biography & Historical Record

Shi Huang (士黄, 士黃, Sĩ Hoàng; c. 190s–226 AD) was a nobleman and official of the powerful Shi clan that held autonomous rule over Jiaozhou (Giao Châu) during the late Han and early Three Kingdoms periods. He was a close relative and generational compatriot of Governor Shi Xie (士燮) and Administrator Shi Shuo (士𫸩).

Under Shi Xie’s benevolent four-decade leadership, the Shi clan oversaw peace and economic prosperity in Lingnan. Following Shi Xie’s passing in 226 AD, Sun Quan sought to partition Jiaozhou to eliminate regional autonomy. Shi Xie’s son Shi Hui (士徽) rebelled in protest. Shi Huang and the clan mobilized to defend their administrative centers. However, Wu General Lu Dai (吕岱) lured the Shi leaders with false promises of clemency; once they surrendered outside the city walls, Lu Dai executed Shi Hui, Shi Huang, and their fellow kinsmen, ending the clan’s hegemony.
