Wei Huan-zi

Wèi Huán-zĭ (?-446 BCE) (Chinese: 魏桓子), also known as Wèi Xuān-zi (Chinese: 魏宣子), was a leader of the State of Wei during the Warring States period of Chinese history. One of the Jù (駒/驹) family, he was the son of Wèi Xiāng-zǐ (Chinese: 魏曼多).

When Wèi Xiāng-zǐ died, Wèi Huán-zĭ succeeded him as leader of Wei. Together with Zhào Xiāng-zĭ (simplified Chinese: 赵襄子; traditional Chinese: 趙襄子) and Hán Kāng-zĭ (simplified Chinese: 韓康子; traditional Chinese: 韓康子), Wèi Huán-zĭ defeated Zhì Bóyáo (Chinese: 智伯瑤) of the State of Zhi. Afterwards the three allies divided up the Zhi territory and expanded their own state borders making them larger than the other vassal states.

After Wèi Huán-zĭ died, his son Marquess Wen of Wei (Chinese: 魏文侯; pinyin: Wèi Wén Hóu) became the Wei leader.
