Editing Sun Quan (section)

==Early life and career==
The ''[[Records of the Three Kingdoms]]'' mentioned that Sun Jian was a descendant of Sun Wu (better known as [[Sun Tzu]]), a militarist in the [[Spring and Autumn period]] and the author of ''[[The Art of War]]''. Sun Quan was born in 182, while his father Sun Jian was still a low-ranking official of the Han dynasty. He was the second son of Sun Jian and his wife Lady Wu; he had two younger full brothers, [[Sun Yi]] and [[Sun Kuang]], and a younger full sister, whose identity is unrecorded.

In 184, two years after Sun Quan was born, the [[Yellow Turban Rebellion]] led by [[Zhang Jue]] broke out across the country. Sun Jian joined the general [[Zhu Jun (Han dynasty)|Zhu Jun]] to quell the rebellion and allocated his family to stay in [[Shouchun]]. When Sun Quan's elder brother Sun Ce met [[Zhou Yu]] in 189, Sun Ce decided to take his mother [[Lady Wu (wife of Sun Jian)|Lady Wu]] and younger brothers to Shu County, Zhou Yu's hometown. There, the Sun family became acquainted with Zhou Yu.

After Sun Jian's death in 191, the Sun family moved again to Jiangdu in order to mourn him. Two years later, Sun Ce decided to join [[Yuan Shu]]'s army so he ordered [[Lü Fan]] to take his family members to his maternal uncle [[Wu Jing (Han dynasty)|Wu Jing]]'s home in [[Dangtu County|Danyang]]. However, [[Liu Yao (warlord)|Liu Yao]], the Governor ({{lang|zh|牧}}) of Yang Province became angry when Sun Ce and Yuan Shu defeated [[Lu Kang (Han dynasty)|Lu Kang]], the administrator of Lujiang in 194. He felt worried that they would attack him further so he drove Wu Jing away from Danyang. Since Sun Quan and his mother were still in Liu Yao's territory, [[Zhu Zhi]] sent people to rescue them. Sun Quan and his mother moved to Fuling later.

When Sun Ce defeated Liu Yao in 195, he ordered Chen Bao to bring his family back to Danyang. As Sun Quan grew up, he served his brother during the [[Sun Ce's conquests in Jiangdong|conquests]] of the region south of the [[Yangtze River]]. He was made [[Yixing|Yangxian County]] magistrate in 196, at the age of 14, and continued to rise through the ranks as his brother gave him more and more important tasks. Since he was passionate about gathering the retainers like [[Pan Zhang]] and [[Zhou Tai]], his fame soon approached his father and elder brother. [[Zhu Ran]] and [[Hu Zong]], the men he met during his schooldays, later became ministers of Eastern Wu. He was loved by his brother Sun Ce, who said that he would put his men under Sun Quan's management in the future. In 199, Sun Quan was promoted to the rank of Colonel ({{lang|zh|校尉}}) and followed his brother to conquer Lujiang and Yuzhang. While Cao Cao attempted to further reinforce the alliance with Sun Ce, both Sun Quan and his younger brother [[Sun Yi]] were invited to be officials in Xuchang, but they refused.
