Empress Zhang (Later Qin)
Empress Zhang (張皇后, personal name unknown) was an empress of the Qiang-led Later Qin dynasty of China. Her husband was Yao Xing (Emperor Wenhuan).[citation needed]
There is a scroll in the San Diego Museum of Art's collection, named "Ordination Scroll of Empress Zhang" which narrates the imperial ordination of Empress Zhang.[1]
Very little is known about Empress Zhang. She was promoted to empress from the imperial consort title Zhaoyi[2] (昭儀) in 402. No further reference was made to her in history, including when she died or whether she had any children.[citation needed]
