by Herbert A. Giles

188 Chao Ts'ui 趙衰 (T. 子餘). 7th cent. B. C. Chief among the trusty adherents who in B. C. 654 followed Ch'ung Erh into exile among the wild tribes of the north. Two captive girls having been presented by the savages to his master, the latter gave the younger, named 季隗 Chi Wei, to him, and she became the mother of Chao Tun. On their return from exile Chao Ts'ui was rewarded with the post of Prime Minister; and he discharged his duties with such success that the people were said to love him as the winter sun.
