Xu Xinyue

In this Chinese name, the family name is Xu.

Xu Xinyue (Chinese: 許新月; c. 902?[1]-August 1, 946[2][3][4]), formally the Lady Renhui of Wuyue (吳越國仁惠夫人), was a concubine, possibly later a wife, of Qian Yuanguan (King Wenmu) (né Qian Chuanguan, name changed to Qian Yuanguan upon his succession to the throne), the second king of the Chinese state Wuyue of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and the mother to his son and successor Qian Hongzuo (King Wenxian).

  4. ^ Lady Xu's biography in the Spring and Autumn Annals indicated that she died in 945 at the age of 43, but the chronicles of Qian Hongzuo's reign gave a more exact death date for her, and therefore appears to be likely to be correct. The chronicle of Qian Hongzuo's reign did not give a death age for her, so it will be assumed here that 43 was correct.
