Xiang Lang

Who was Xiang Lang?

Xiang Lang, style name Juda, was a minister of the state of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. He previously served under the warlords Liu Biao and Liu Bei in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He was an uncle of Xiang Chong, a Shu general.

Due to a personal friendship with Ma Su, Xiang Lang did not report Ma when he attempted to escape following his defeat in the Battle of Jieting. This angered Zhuge Liang, who, as a result, dismissed Xiang Lang from office. As years passed, Xiang Lang gained rank within the imperial household, and Liu Shan granted him the title of Marquis of Xianming Commune.
