Yang Xi (late 200s[1] - 261), courtesy name Wenran, was a Chinese politician of the state of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period of China. He is best known for writing the Ji Han Fuchen Zan (季漢輔臣贊; pub. 241), a collection of praises of notable persons who served in the Shu Han state. Chen Shou, the third-century historian who wrote the Records of the Three Kingdoms (Sanguozhi), extensively quoted and annotated Yang Xi's collection.[2]

  1. ^ Yang Xi's biography in Sanguozhi indicated that he was in his 20s during Zhuge Liang's chancellorship between 221 and 234. Thus, his birth year is likely to be in the late 200s or early 210s.
