In this Chinese name, the family name is Huo.

Huo Jun (178–217), courtesy name Zhongmiao, was a military general serving under the warlord Liu Bei in the late Eastern Han dynasty of China. Liu Bei thought very highly of Huo Jun and in a letter to Zhuge Liang praised him as a great warrior with many achievements. When Huo Jun died, Liu Bei deeply mourned him, led his officials during his burial and stayed overnight at his tomb which was a great honor.[2]

  1. ^ a b The Sanguozhi mentioned that Huo Jun was appointed as the Administrator of Zitong Commandery around 214, and he died after holding office for three years at the age of 40 (by East Asian age reckoning). Quote from Sanguozhi vol. 41: (先主定蜀，嘉峻之功，乃分廣漢為梓潼郡，以峻為梓潼太守、裨將軍。在官三年，年四十卒， ...) Assuming he died in 217, by calculation, his year of birth should be around 178.
  2. ^ (先主甚悼惜，乃詔諸葛亮曰：「峻既佳士，加有功於國，欲行酹。」...因留宿墓上，當時榮之。) Sanguozhi vol. 41.
