Han Weiji (simplified Chinese: 韩维基; traditional Chinese: 韓維基; pinyin: Hán Wéijī), courtesy name Zhenzi (simplified Chinese: 贞子; traditional Chinese: 貞子; pinyin: Zhēnzǐ), was a Chinese official who lived in the Qing dynasty. Han was born in Xiaotian Village, Zichuan County, Shandong Province, China (now Fujia Town, Zhangdian District, Zibo Prefecture). Han was a tong jinshi who obtained the third highest position in his class in the imperial examination. During the reign of the Kangxi Emperor, Han served as a county magistrate in Wenxi County, Shanxi and Boye County, Zhili.

Life

Han Weiji was the grandson of Han Maocai and the son of Han Guangzhai. Han Weiji was a juren (lit. "presented scholar") in 1660, and ranked 146th in the imperial examination in 1664.[1] He was appointed as the magistrate of Wenxi County, Shanxi in 1674,[2] and then took office in Boye County, Zhili in 1681. He punished criminals severely in larceny cases, which led to a fall in crime rates in his jurisdictions.[3]
