A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Fu P'ei

by Herbert A. Giles

596 Fu P'ei 苻丕(T. 永叔). Died A.D. 386. Eldest son by a concubine of Fu Chien (2), who finding him well-read in history and fond of military studies, caused him to be instructed in the art of war. On Fu Chien's death, he assumed the royal title at 晉陽 Chin-yang in Shansi; and in 385 he claimed the throne of China, only to be defeated in the following year and slain by one of the generals of the rival pretender, Mu-jung Ch'ui.
