Zhou Fu (Western Jin)

Zhou Fu (died February 311), courtesy name Zuxuan, was an official of the Jin dynasty (266–420). As a minister, he rose through the ranks of the Jin government and was one of the chief officials managing the Eastern Court (東臺) in Luoyang after Emperor Hui of Jin was moved to the Western Court (西臺) in Chang'an. Following the Prince of Donghai, Sima Yue's victory in the War of the Eight Princes, Zhou Fu was assigned to guard Yang province north of the Yangzi, while the southern part of the province was guarded by the Prince of Langya, Sima Rui. As Zhou Fu was castigated for his proposal to move the Jin capital to his base in Shouchun, Sima Rui took the opportunity to attack Zhou Fu and annex northern Yang for himself.
