Wu Zhi (178[2]—230), courtesy name Jizhong, was an official and military general of the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period of China[3].

  1. ^ In Yang Huiyu's biography in Book of Jin, it was recorded that Wu Zhi was made General Who Guards The North (镇北将军); both Chen Shou and Pei Songzhi did not record this rank in Sanguozhi or its annotations.
  2. ^ In his Reply to the Crown Prince of Wei (答魏太子笺), Wu Zhi indicated that he was 42 (by East Asian reckoning) at the time. The letter can be dated to 219 CE, as Wu Zhi stated that the 8th day of the 2nd month of that year was a geng'yin day.
  3. ^ In the original Sanguozhi, Chen Shou only wrote a few words for Wu Zhi's biography. (吴质，济阴人，以文才为文帝所善，官至振威将军，假节都督河北诸军事，封列侯。) Sanguozhi, vol.21. In his annotations, Pei Songzhi greatly expanded on Wu Zhi's biography using sources such as Wei Jin Shiyu (Shiyu) and Weilǜe.
