Emperor Chong of Han (Chinese: 漢冲帝; pinyin: Hàn Chōng Dì; Wade–Giles: Han Ch'ung-ti; 143 – 15 February 145) was an emperor of the Chinese Han Dynasty and the ninth emperor of the Eastern Han period.
Emperor Chong was the only son of Emperor Shun. He ascended the throne at the age of one and reigned less than six months. During his reign, Empress Dowager Liang and her brother Liang Ji presided over all government affairs. While the empress dowager herself appeared to be open-minded and honest, she overly trusted her corrupt brother, and this led to corruptions and as a result the peasants suffered greatly.
Emperor Chong died in February 145. He was just two years old.
^Emperor Chong's biography in Book of the Later Han recorded that he ascended the throne on the gengwu day of the 8th month of the 1st year of the Jiankang era of Liu Bao's reign. This corresponds to 20 Sep 144 on the Julian calendar. (建康元年立为皇太子，其年八月庚午，即皇帝位，...) Houhanshu, vol.06
