Quan Rou (simplified: 全柔, traditional: 全柔, pinyin: Quán Róu) was the father of Quan Cong. He was recommended Filial and Incorrupt (孝廉) and served as a court official during the Han. After Dong Zhuo’s disorder he returned home and later became Chief Clerk and then Chief of the Eastern Section of Kuaiji (會稽東部都尉) under the provincial authorities. When Sun Ce raised troops, Quan Rou joined him and was made Chief of Danyang (丹陽都尉). Under Sun Quan he became Long History (長史) and after the Battle of Red Cliffs Administrator of Guiyang (桂陽太守). He once sent Quan Cong to deliver grain to Wu for trade; Quan Cong distributed it to refugees instead, and Quan Rou admired his son’s character.
