Shi Xie (137 - 226), style name Weiyan, was a Chinese official in Jiaozhi, present-day Vietnam during the late Han Dynasty and Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history.

[edit] Biography

Shi served as state secretary at the Han court, from which he later resigned to return home after his father's death.[1] He was assigned magistrate of Wu District in Sichuan Province. In the 180s he was promoted to be prefect of Jiaozhi.[1] Shi pledged his loyalty to Sun Quan of Eastern Wu after the latter had proclaimed his dynasty and regularly sent generous tribute missions as well as an envoy to meet Sun.[1] Shi had been in office for over 40 years. He died at the age of 90 in 226. After Shi's death, Sun Quan thought the Jiaozhi region was too far away and made it an autonomous province. Lü Dai was named Inspector of Jiaozhi and Chen Shi the new Administrator. In response to this, Shi's son, Shi Hui, took his father's position of Administrator. Shi Hui refused to allow Lü Dai and Chen Shi to enter Jiaozhi. However, Lü Dai had an imperial decree that allowed the execution of Shi Hui. Shi Kuang was sent to persuade Shi Hui to allow Lü Dai to enter. The next day, Shi Hui and his accomplices were murdered. Later, the rest of the Shi family was reduced to the status of commoners.

Shi was a scholar who enjoyed reading the Spring and Autumn Annals.

As one of the officials who ruled northern Vietnam in the 1st century, he was posthumously titled Thiên Cảm Gia Ứng Linh Vũ Đại Vương (善感嘉應靈武大王) by the Trần Dynasty emperor. (Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư, Kỳ Sĩ Vương)
