Jin Midi (134 – 29 September 86 BC[2]) (Chinese: 金日磾; pinyin: Jīn Mìdī,[3] courtesy name Wengshu (翁叔), formally Marquess Jing of Du (秺敬侯), was a Xiongnu Xiutu prince and a general of the Western Han dynasty. He was referred to as a non-Han "barbarian", either with the term Hu (胡)[4] or Yidi (夷狄).[5] He was originally from the Xiutu Kingdom in central Gansu and served as co-regent early in the reign of the Emperor Zhao of Han. He was given the family name "Jin" ("Gold") by Emperor Wu of Han because he worshipped the golden statue of the Xiongnu which Huo Qubing has captured in his military campaigns.[6] [7]
