Transliterations

This is a Chinese name; the family name is Song (宋).

Song Qian was an officer under the Kingdom of Wu during the Three Kingdoms Period of China. Song Qian served loyally under Sun Quan and was a noted master at using the crescent halberd. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms falsely asserted that following Sun Quan's assault at He Fei after the Battle of Chi Bi, Song Qian ended up meeting an attack led by the famous Li Dian of Wei. Throughout their duel Qian ended up being killed. In reality, Song at least lived to the founding of both Eastern Wu and Shu Han.
