山冰 / Shan Bing (late Han)

Overview

山冰 / Shan Bing (late Han) is a Dou-side small yellow-gate actor in the 168 CE anti-eunuch crisis. Hanji 885 shows 窦武 replacing Huangmenling Wei Biao with Shan Bing and using him to arrest 郑飒 / 郑萨. Hanji 886 then places Shan Bing among the actors overcome when 王甫 reverses the prison and guard channel.

Current Profile

Shan Bing’s profile shows that Dou Wu did try to insert trusted personnel into palace-administrative channels before the coup collapsed. After 刘瑜 warns of palace danger, Dou asks Dou Miao to remove Wei Biao and put Shan Bing in his place. Shan Bing then impeaches and arrests Zheng Sa, producing the interrogation chain that names 曹节 and Wang Fu.

The adjacent source makes the limit clear. Hanji 886 says Wang Fu receives counter-authority, goes to the prison, acts against Shan Bing and 尹勋, releases Zheng Sa, and turns the same custody channel back against Dou Wu’s side. Shan Bing is therefore evidence that personnel replacement without full palace control can become reversible.

Key Characteristics

• Shan Bing is a Dou-side inserted palace-office actor, not an independent planner in the current evidence.
• His appointment shows Dou Wu trying to control the Huangmenling channel before the full countercoup.
• His arrest of Zheng Sa provides the procedural evidence path against Cao Jie and Wang Fu.
• His rapid neutralization in Hanji 886 shows the fragility of partial office capture.
• His role links palace staffing, prison custody, and timing risk in the Dou Wu crisis.

Evidence

• Dou-side appointment: Hanji 885 says Dou Wu asks Dou Miao to remove Wei Biao and appoint the trusted small yellow-gate Shan Bing.
• Arrest role: Hanji 885 says Shan Bing impeaches and arrests Zheng Sa, who is placed in the Northern Prison.
• Memorial role after interrogation: Hanji 885 says Shan Bing and Yin Xun submit a memorial asking Dou Miao to arrest Cao Jie and Wang Fu.
• Reversal in prison channel: Hanji 886 says Wang Fu later acts against Shan Bing and Yin Xun after receiving Huangmenling authority and entering the prison channel.

Qualifications

• The source notes do not provide Shan Bing’s independent motives or full office biography.
• The page treats him as a stable operational actor because two adjacent source notes connect his appointment, arrest role, and neutralization.
• Wei Biao remains source-scoped here because this ingest only establishes his replacement, not a wider profile.

What Changed

• Hanji 885 and Hanji 886 create the Shan Bing page as a small but stable operational node in the Dou Wu crisis.
• The page clarifies that Dou Wu’s partial personnel control did not become durable palace control.

Relationships

• 窦武 - patron and planner who inserts Shan Bing into the Huangmenling channel.
• 刘瑜 - warning source whose omen interpretation precedes Shan Bing’s appointment.
• 郑飒 / 郑萨 - arrested figure whose interrogation creates the next memorial.
• 尹勋 - partner in the memorial requesting Cao Jie and Wang Fu’s arrest.
• 曹节 and 王甫 - targets named through the Zheng Sa interrogation and later beneficiaries of the reversal.
• 致命计划泄露风险 - risk sharpened when partial action exposes intent before control is complete.
• 宫廷接触垄断 - access structure that makes Shan Bing’s office role important but fragile.
