胡三省 / Hu Sanxing
胡三省 / Hu Sanxing enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》103-1｜司马迁看中的信陵君算是小人吗？ as the later commentator on 《资治通鉴》 who criticizes the 管城 episode. The source says the passage comes from 《战国策·魏策四》 and is carried into the chronicle without deletion, then Hu’s annotation supplies a sharper state-responsibility reading.
Hu’s judgment is broad rather than one-sided. He criticizes 苏高’s son for defending a Qin-held city against Wei, criticizes Su Gao and 安陵君 for treating father-son and ruler-subject duty as if 魏国’s survival were not at stake, and criticizes 信陵君 for apologizing when a commander was doing what the state emergency required.
In this wiki, Hu Sanxing’s role is to keep the episode from resolving into sentimental praise of suicide or simple condemnation of coercion. His note makes 国存亡与父子君臣义冲突 a conflict among imperfect duties.
