施延 / Shi Yan (late Han)

Overview

Shi Yan appears in Hanji 815 as the dahonglu appointed taiwei after Pang Can is dismissed in 133 CE.

Current Profile

Shi Yan’s profile is an appointment marker rather than a full biography. His promotion closes the Pang Can dismissal sequence: after Pang is removed in the seventh month, the eighth month first-day appointment makes Shi the new taiwei.

Key Characteristics

• Serves as dahonglu before the appointment.
• Becomes taiwei after Pang Can’s dismissal.
• Functions in the current evidence as a succession and office-continuity marker.

Evidence

• Office transition: Hanji 815 says Shi Yan is appointed taiwei on the first day of the eighth month after Pang Can’s seventh-month dismissal.

Qualifications

The source does not provide Shi Yan’s policy profile, factional position, or later actions. The page should remain sparse until later sources add substance.

What Changed

• Created the page as a precise office-succession marker in the 133 CE Shun court sequence.

Relationships

• 庞参 / Pang Can (late Han) - predecessor whose dismissal opens the taiwei seat.
• 汉顺帝 / Emperor Shun of Han - ruler under whose court Shi Yan is appointed.
• 任官适任性国家能力 / Appointment Quality as State Capacity - related concept because the source places Shi’s appointment in an office-stability sequence after dismissal.
