Pei Songzhi 裴松之

Pei Songzhi was a writer commissioned by Emperor Wen of Liu Song to write commentaries and footnotes on Chen Shou's Records of Three Kingdoms, providing additional detail omitted from the original work. His commentary, completed in 429 A.D., became integral to later editions of the Records of Three Kingdoms, making the joint work three times as long as the original.

Since some time his comments have come under fire for possibly being erroneous. One example of debate is the event where Meng Huo is captured seven times by Zhuge Liang in the span of just one week.
