Notes

  1. ^ The chronology of Zhang Ji's biography in the Sanguozhi implied that he was older than 16 (by East Asian reckoning) when Cao Cao, as Minister of Works (196-208), tried to recruit Zhang without success.[1] The next event recorded in Zhang's biography which can be dated was Yuan Shang defending against Cao Cao at Liyang in 202-203 (袁尚拒太祖于黎阳,...). Thus, Zhang's birth year should be 181 or before.
  2. ^ Zhang Ji's biography in the Sanguozhi recorded that he died in the 4th year of the Huangchu era (220-226) in Cao Pi's reign.[2]
