Chu Ðạt
Chinese rebellion leader
About Chu Ðạt
Chu Ðạt was a Vietnamese.
Chu Đạt, also rendered as Zhu Da (?–160), was the leader of a rebellion against China's Eastern Han dynasty in Jiuzhen (Cửu Chân), located in modern-day Vietnam. The rebellion began in 157 when Chu Đạt killed Cư Phong, a magistrate who was hated by the citizenry for his cruelty and greed. The rebels were eventually defeated by Wei Lang. Chu Đạt, and 2,000 of his followers, were beheaded.
The story of Chu Đạt's rebellion is found only in Chinese records, not Vietnamese records, which has led historians to suggest that he may have been of Chinese origin.
