Biography & Historical Record
Sima Guangde (司马广德, 司馬廣德, Tư Mã Quảng Đức; c. 240s–c. 260s AD) was an imperial prince of the Western Jin dynasty. He was born to Chancellor Sima Zhao (司马昭) and his principal consort Empress Dowager Wang Yuanji (王元姬), being a full-blooded younger brother of Emperor Wu of Jin Sima Yan and Prince of Qi Sima You.
Sima Guangde died in infancy before the formal coronation of his brother Sima Yan. In memory of their beloved young brother, Emperor Wu posthumously enfeoffed him as the Prince of Hongnong (弘农王) with full imperial rituals, designating a noble nephew to inherit his feudal lineage and perpetuate his ancestral remembrance.
