苏文 / Su Wen (Western Han)

Overview

苏文 / Su Wen enters the wiki through Hanji 391-1 as a named front-line actor in the 巫蛊之祸 accusation field against 卫太子刘据. Hanji 388-2 adds the punishment branch: after 汉武帝 recognizes Liu Ju’s grievance, Su Wen is burned at Heng Bridge.

Current Profile

The sources give Su Wen only a narrow role. He is named alongside 江充 as one of the visible actors involved in the frame-up of Liu Ju, while the host argues that 钩弋夫人 was the deeper hidden mover. Hanji 388-2 then makes Su Wen a visible target of Wudi’s remorse-driven punishment. Su Wen therefore functions here as part of the operational and punitive layer of the Wugu explanation, not as a fully profiled independent figure.

Key Characteristics

• Western Han palace/court actor named in the episode’s account of the Wugu affair.
• Paired with Jiang Chong as a visible participant in the alleged frame-up of Liu Ju.
• Punished in Hanji 388-2 after Han Wudi accepts Liu Ju’s grievance.
• Source-scoped actor whose full biography is not developed by this episode.

Evidence

• Hanji 391-1 says Su Wen was among the front-line actors in the plot against Liu Ju.
• Hanji 391-1 distinguishes Su Wen and Jiang Chong from the host’s claimed hidden mover, Lady Gouyi.
• Hanji 388-2 says Han Wudi later has Su Wen burned at Heng Bridge.
