丁宫 / Ding Gong (late Han)

丁宫 / Ding Gong (late Han) enters through Hanji 938 as the Pei native and guanglu xun who becomes sikong after 许相 moves to situ. The transcript renders the name as “丁公”; this page is intentionally distinct from 丁公, the Chu-Han figure executed by 刘邦.

The episode does not make Ding Gong an independent actor. He marks the court-office churn of 187 CE: while Liangzhou, Youzhou, Wuhuan, Changsha, and Xiongnu-linked trouble accumulate, the court continues moving people through the Three Excellencies without demonstrating restored control.

Connections

• 许相 - official whose move to situ opens Ding Gong’s sikong appointment.
• 崔烈 and 曹嵩 - paired top-office turnover in the same source.
• 汉灵帝 - ruler under whom the appointment occurs.
• 朝廷开府任官失序 and 名器合法性 - later concepts that make the office notice politically legible.
