Pan Qiao

Pan Qiao (潘峭) was an official of the Chinese Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period state Former Shu, serving as a director of palace communications (Shumishi) under its founding emperor Wang Jian (Former Shu) (Emperor Gaozu).

[1] It is also not known when Pan Qiao initially came to serve under Wang Jian (while Wang Jian was still a Tang dynasty warlord), but it is known that after Wang Jian declared himself emperor of a new state of Former Shu, he initially made Pan a director of palace affairs (宣徽使, Xuanhuishi).

However, Wang Jian's adoptive son Wang Zonghan (王宗翰) the Prince of Ji, as well as Pan Qiao and the chief imperial scholar Mao Wenxi did not attend.

After Wang Yuanying's death, Pan Qiao was again made director of palace communications.

[2] In 914, Pan Qiao was made the military governor of Wutai Circuit and given the honorary chancellor designation of Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi (同中書門下平章事).
