Template:Infobox Three Kingdoms biography Template:Chinese-name
He Qia (died after 228), style name Yangshi, was a high-ranking court and civil official of the state of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms period. He was known for his austere lifestyle.
Early life
He Qia was born in Xiping (西平), of the Runan (汝南) commandery, Yuzhou (present-day Xiping County, Zhumadian, Henan). In the 190s, the warlord Yuan Shao sent ambassadors to Runan inviting the gentry and nobility to join his cause. Yuzhou was an area of contention between Yuan Shao and his half-brother Yuan Shu, so He Qia feared staying, but he did not want to serve under a man such as Yuan Shao, whose ambition He Qia felt exceeded his capability.[1]
Instead, He Qia brought his family south to Jing province to serve Liu Biao, whom He Qia considered to be a kind lord without higher ambition. Crossing the Yangtze river, he settled in at Wuling (武陵), in present-day Changde, Hunan.
Service under Cao Cao
In the late 190s, Cao Cao gained control over parts of Jing province, and He Qia found employment in his chancellery.[1] In this early stage of his career, he spoke out against the elevation of officers based on their following an ascetic, deliberately impoverished lifestyle, and against seeing these men as more pure than officers who displayed their salary outwardly.[2]
Cao Cao was created Duke of Wei (魏公) in 213, and He Qia served as an attendant member of his entourage. He unsuccessfully defended Mao Jie against rumours that Mao slandered Cao Cao. Correspondence on the matter between He Qia and Cao Cao survives and is carried by Records of the Three Kingdoms.[3] Due to these rumours, Mao Jie was forced to commit suicide in 216.
Later career
He Qia received successive promotions under Cao Cao and Cao Pi, rising to the position of Minister of the Household, the most important personnel manager of the Wei court. Under Cao Rui, he was granted the two hundred households of Xiling village (西陵鄉).
Late in life, He Qia reversed his position on asceticism and began living a greatly curtailed lifestyle. After he was promoted to the prestigious position of Minister of Ceremonies under Cao Rui, he gave so freely of his salary that he was forced to liquidate his real estate in order to support himself.[4] Cao Rui granted him grain and silks so He Qia could avoid total insolvency. His modest lifestyle is reflected in his posthumous name, the Austere Lord of Xiling Village (西陵鄉簡侯).
