Lu Yusheng (Chinese: 陸鬱生, pinyin: Lù Yùshēng) was a Chinese woman from the Eastern Wu state during the Three Kingdoms period (220-280 AD). She was the daughter of Lu Ji and wife of Zhang Bai.[2] Her loyalty and unwavering courage led to her receiving the honorary title of "Yigū". Her exemplary conduct illuminated the virtuous mores of the time, reshaping the perceptions of men and women. Her case was written in the Records of the Three Kingdoms, "Biography of Lu Ji".[3]
