(Technically Jiming was his first cousin once removed by the English terminology, not his nephew. ._. I thought about if I should refer to Jiming as such in this article but it sounds weird lol.) |

Yan Zhenqing (Chinese: 顏真卿; 709 – 785) was a Chinese calligrapher, military general, and politician loyal to the Tang dynasty who served as governor of Pingyuan Commandery. He was the cousin of Yan Gaoqing whose son was Yan Jiming.[1]
Early in the An-Shi Rebellion, Gaoqing and Jiming organized the Righteous Army to combat An Lushan's forces, but they suffered a major defeat in 756 and were executed in Luoyang once that city fell to the rebels. Their deaths spurred Zhenqing to receive the Assassin Li E in Pingyuan, vowing to renew his family's alliance with him against An Lushan. He thereupon became the alliance leader of the Hebei Righteous Army (河北義軍), and their combined efforts helped to turn the tide and save the Tang.[1]
In 758,[2] still grieving over Jiming's demise, Zhenqing composed "Draft of a Requiem to My Nephew" (《祭姪文稿》), which became one of his most celebrated works. Ultimately, he and Li E established the branch of Hidden Ones in China, and together, they became a generation of Master Assassins of what would become the Chinese Brotherhood.[1]
Behind the scenes
Yan Zhenqing was a historical figure who served in the Tang dynasty during the An Lushan Rebellion. He was most famous for his masterful calligraphy.[3] He will be featuring in the manhua Assassin's Creed: Dynasty according to its promotional material.
In one such material, a character profile of Yan Zhenqing, his death date is given as 756. This is most likely an error caused by confusion with his cousin Yan Gaoqing who was executed that year alongside his son Yan Jiming.
