The Cui clan of Qinghe (清河崔氏)[1][2][3] was an eminent Chinese family of high-ranking government officials and Confucian scholars.
The clan's ancestral home was in Qinghe Commandery (清河郡), which covered parts of present-day Shandong and Hebei provinces.
[4] The first notable member of this clan, according to the New Book of Tang, was Cui Ye (崔業), who held the peerage of Marquis of Donglai (東萊候) during the Han dynasty.
[11] During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Cui clan of Qinghe was able to maintain its prosperity by producing a total of 12 statesmen from various branches who served as grand chancellors in the imperial government.
[15] The Cui clan of Qinghe lost their political privilege by the end of the Tang dynasty[1] and dissolved into different social classes.
