Fu Hong (Chinese: 苻洪, 284–350), originally named Pu Hong (Chinese: 蒲洪), courtesy name Guangshi (Chinese: 廣世), was the father of founding emperor of the Former Qin dynasty, Fu Jiàn (Emperor Jingmimg). In 350, Fu Hong proclaimed himself the Prince of Three Qins (Chinese: 三秦王), receiving a prophecy willed him to become King (Chinese: 艸付應王). In the same year, he was poisoned by his subordinate Ma Qiu, who was then executed by Fu Jiàn, who took over Fu Hong's army. He was posthumously honored as the Emperor Huiwu of (Former) Qin (Chinese: (前)秦惠武帝) with the temple name Taizu (太祖).[1][2]
