Wang Dao



Wang Dao (王導) (276-339), courtesy name Maohong (茂弘), formally Duke Wenxian of Shixing (始興文獻公), was a Jin Dynasty (265-420) statesman who served important roles in the administrations of Emperor Yuan, Emperor Ming, and Emperor Cheng, including as Emperor Cheng's regent. His governance style was to be lenient with the laws, and he handed out few punishments -- which stabilized the Jin regime greatly, but which also led do extensive, if moderate, corruption and incompetence in the Jin regime, making it difficult for Jin armies to recapture northern China.
