Zhou Ang


Zhou Ang was an official serving under the warlord Yuan Shao during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China. He was from Kuaiji Commandery, which is around present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang. He had two brothers: Zhou Yu and Zhou Xin. He served as the Administrator of Jiujiang Commandery and as the Inspector of Yu Province. In 192, he was defeated in a battle at Yinling County against the forces of Yuan Shao's half-brother and rival Yuan Shu.
In historical records, Zhou Ang is often confused with his two brothers. For example, historical records claim that he was involved in the Battle of Yangcheng in 191 against the warlord Sun Jian when it was actually his brother Zhou Yu.
