Qi Jiguang (Nov. 12th, 1528 - Jan. 5th, 1588), courtesy named Yuanjing, with the pseudonym of Nantang, of the Han nationality, a native of Dengzhou, Shandong province, was famous as a strategist and a military general in fighting against Japanese pirates, and shared the same reputation as Yu Dayou did. He spent over ten years in fighting against Japanese pirates, and engaged in more than 80 battles in the coastal areas of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangzhou, and finally crushed Japanese pirates. As a result, he was known as a national hero and was posthumously named as Wuyi. His army was traditionally known as the "Army of Qi". He wrote many military works and poems.
