He Xun (simplified: 贺循, traditional: 賀循, pinyin: Hè Xún) was the son of He Shao. After his father was tortured and killed by Sun Hao in 275, the family was exiled to Linhai. He Xun became a leading scholar and minister under the Jin dynasty, serving as Grand Master of Ceremonies (太常) and Grand Tutor to the Heir (太子太傅). The Shishuo xinyu and Jin shu record that Emperor Yuan of Jin once asked him about “Sun Hao burning a saw and cutting off one He’s head”; He Xun wept and said his father had met with an unrighteous ruler. He died in 319.
