**Yuan Huan** ( 190–210s), [courtesy name](/source/Courtesy_name) **Yaoqing**, was an official who lived during the late [Eastern Han dynasty](/source/Eastern_Han_dynasty) of China. He was a son of Yuan Pang (袁滂), who served as *[Situ](/source/Situ_(office))* during the reign of [Emperor Ling of Han](/source/Emperor_Ling_of_Han).[5][6]

During the 190s, he served under the warlords [Liu Bei](/source/Liu_Bei), [Yuan Shu](/source/Yuan_Shu) and [Lü Bu](/source/L%C3%BC_Bu). In particular, Liu Bei, as Inspector of Yu province, recommended him as a *maocai*.[7] After the fall of Lü Bu in February 199, Yuan Huan joined [Cao Cao](/source/Cao_Cao) as an adviser.[8] He was involved in a number of policy decisions, including the administration of the *[tuntian](/source/Tuntian)* policy. In the 210s, Yuan Huan was given the appointment of Prefect of the Gentlemen of the Palace (郎中令).[9]

Yuan Huan died sometime before 220, and it is said Cao Cao wept for him.[10] He left behind four sons, all of whom were known for their scholarly accomplishments. His descendants became one of the leading aristocratic families of the [Jin dynasty](/source/Jin_dynasty_(265-420)) and [Southern dynasties](/source/Northern_and_Southern_dynasties).

## Descendants

Yuan Huan's son Yuan Zhun was the father of Yuan Chong (袁冲), father of Yuan Dan (袁耽).[11] Yuan Dan had two younger sisters, Nühuang and Nüzheng, who married [Yin Hao](/source/Yin_Hao) and [Xie Shang](/source/Xie_Shang) respectively.[12]

One of Yuan Huan's descendants was Jin official/historian [Yuan Hong](/source/Yuan_Hong_(historian)).[13]
