Jia Chong (English spelling)

Japanese: 賈充 - かじゅう（英語表記）Jiǎ Chōng

217‐282
A nobleman and great official of the Western Jin Dynasty in China. His courtesy name was Gonglu. He was from Xiangling, Pingyang County (Xiangling County, Shanxi Province). His father, Jia Kui, was a famous minister of the Wei Dynasty. Jia Chong demonstrated his skills as a staff officer of the powerful minister Sima Zhao (Emperor Wen of Jin), and played an active role in the Wei-Jin Revolution as a confidant of the Sima clan. He was also knowledgeable in practical matters and made achievements such as establishing new laws. Emperor Wu also relied heavily on Jia Chong, entrusting him with important responsibilities such as the position of Minister of State and Minister of the Secretariat, and appointed him as commander-in-chief in the operation to pacify Wu, which shows the aristocratic politics of the Western Jin Dynasty. His daughter became the Crown Princess (Empress Jia) and monopolized the court government during the reign of the next Emperor Hui.

中国，西晋の貴族，大官。字は公閭。平陽郡襄陵(山西省襄陵県)の人。父の賈逵（かき）は魏の名臣。賈充は権臣司馬昭(晋文帝)の幕僚として手腕を発揮し，司馬氏一族の腹心となって魏晋革命に活躍した。また実務に明るく新律を制定するなどの功績があった。武帝も深く賈充にたよって侍中，尚書令などの重任をゆだね，呉平定作戦には総司令官に任じたが，西晋の貴族政治がそこにうかがわれる。その娘は皇太子妃(賈皇后)となり，つぎの恵帝時代に朝政を専断した。
