Lu Zhi (before late 140s?[4]–192),[5] courtesy name Zigan, was a Chinese historian, military general, philosopher, and politician during the Eastern Han dynasty. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, he was the mentor of Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan. He was described as a tall man (approximately 1.89 metres or 6'2") with a sonorous voice.[6]

- ^ The earliest record on Lu Zhi's life which can be dated was that as a civilian, he wrote to Dou Wu, advising him not to accept the titles given to him and his family for his role in crowning Emperor Ling; Dou rejected the advice. Volume 56 of Zizhi Tongjian dated the day the Dous received their titles to the guisi day of the 6th month of the 1st year of the Jianning era of Emperor Ling's reign, which corresponds to 8 August 168 in the Julian calendar. ([建宁元年]六月....。癸巳，录定策功，封窦武为闻喜侯，武子机为渭阳侯，兄子绍为鄠侯，靖为西乡侯，中常侍曹节为长安乡侯，侯者凡十一人。涿郡卢植上书说武曰：“足下之于汉朝，犹旦、奭之在周室，建立圣主，四海有系，论者以为吾子之功，于斯为重。今同宗相后，披图案牒，以次建之，何勋之有！岂可横叨天功，以为己力乎！宜辞大赏，以全身名。”武不能用。) In addition, his teacher Ma Rong died in 166. If Lu Zhi was born in 159, he would have been 9 years old at the time he sent the letter to Dou Wu, and 7 when Ma Rong died. Lu Zhi's biography recorded that he was a civilian (布衣) when he sent his letter to Dou Wu. Thus, he should be an adult (i.e. at least in his early 20s). Thus, it is more likely that Lu Zhi's birth year is in the late 140s or earlier.
