Life

Little information is recorded about Ju Fu's life. However we know that he was from Hanchang prefecture, the same as another general of Shu Han, Wang Ping and may have been a foreigner from the local tribes of Baxi which is around present-day Qu County, Sichuan. Ju Fu was known for his many qualities, he was a loyal, brave and generous man. Ju Fu made severals achievements in battle and for this, his reputation, deeds and ranks were so high that they were considered near those of Wang Ping. The highest position he reached was General of the Left. He was also enfeoffed as the "Marquis of Dangqu".
The Chronicles of Huayang would later add that: During the late times of Shu Han, when Zhang Yi and Liao Hua served as General of Chariots and Cavalry, the people would often say, "Before we had Wang and Ju, and these days we have Zhang and Liao."
