Di Qing (1008–1057), style name Hanchen (simplified Chinese: 汉臣; traditional Chinese: 漢臣; pinyin: Hànchén), was a military general of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was born to a poor family in Xihe, Fenzhou (汾州西河; present-day Fenyang, Shanxi). He sported tattoos on his face and excelled in mounted archery. In 1038, during the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song, Di Qing was appointed as Commander (指揮使) of Yanzhou (延州; covering parts of present-day Shaanxi). He participated in the war between Song and Western Xia. Each time he went to war, he would don a bronze mask and let his hair run wild and disheveled, and charge into the battlefield. Di Qing was known to be close to Song ministers such as Yin Zhu (尹洙), Han Qi (韓琦) and Fan Zhongyan. Fan Zhongyan once presented Di Qing a copy of the Zuo Zhuan and advised him to read. Di Qing took up scholarly pursuits and became a versed military strategist. He was later promoted to Deputy Commander of the Secret Cabinet (樞密副使) for his contributions. Di Qing participated in a total of 25 battles in his whole life. Of these battles, he was best known for his night raid on Kunlun Pass on the 15th day of the first lunar month in 1053.
