Warlord of Jiaozhi who maintained autonomy in the south.
Compare Shi Xie with another historical figure:
Shi Xie was appointed Administrator of Jiaozhi commandery by the Han court. He governed the southern region with wisdom, maintaining peace and stability while the north was engulfed in chaos.
Shi Xie promoted Chinese learning, Confucianism, and administrative practices in Jiaozhi (modern northern Vietnam). He welcomed Chinese scholars fleeing the chaos of the north, making Jiaozhi a cultural center.
Shi Xie nominally submitted to Sun Quan of Wu but effectively ruled Jiaozhi independently. He paid tribute to Sun Quan while governing his territory without interference, preserving stability in the south.
Shi Xie died in 226, and his son Shi Hui succeeded him. However, Sun Quan soon moved to assert direct control over Jiaozhi, leading to conflict and the end of the Shi family's autonomous rule.
