Hua Xin (157 – 30 January 232),[a][4] courtesy name Ziyu, was a Chinese politician who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty and Three Kingdoms period of China.
As a clerk in Gaotang County, Hua Xin was nominated as xiaolian, and appointed as Langzhong (郎中).
When Dong Zhuo evacuated the court from Luoyang to Chang'an, Hua requested a position as the administrator of Shanggui County (上邽) .
After Liu Yao, governor of Yang Province died, his troops were willing to transfer the commandership to Hua.
Eventually, Hua replaced Xun Yu as the Shangshu Ling (尚书令, Prefect of the Masters of Writing).
In late December 220, Cao Pi assumed the title of emperor after usurping the Han, and Hua was appointed the Minister over the Masses.
