San Yisheng was a character from the classic Ming Dynasty novel 'Fengshen Yanyi'. As Grand Counselor, he was a top official of the early Zhou Dynasty. He was renowned as a mighty protector of both Ji Chang (King Wen of Zhou) and of Ji province, having served under the king for many years. His greatest achievement was stopping Chong Houhu's coalition against the 'rebel' Su Hu with a simple letter of rationality.<br/><br/> Even after Ji Chang was imprisoned by King Zhou of Shang for seven years, San Yisheng remained loyal to him. He composed a letter to Supreme Counselors Fei Zhong and You Hun which resulted in Ji Chang's release, and helped to keep Ji province calm, urging people to be rational and not go to war against the Shang Dynasty.
