Hou Andu (Chinese: 侯安都; pinyin: Hóu Āndū; Cantonese Yale: Hau4 On1 Dou1) (520[1] – 6 July 563[2]), courtesy name Chengshi (成師), was a Chen dynasty general, whose military accomplishments under Emperor Wu and Emperor Wen made him one of the most powerful individuals in the state, but whose arrogance and rudeness raised suspicions from Emperor Wen, and Emperor Wen arrested him and forced him to commit suicide.
^According to Hou Andu's biography in Book of Chen, he was 44 (by East Asian reckoning) when he died. (...于西省赐死，时年四十四。) Chen Shu, vol.08. Thus by calculation, his birth year should be 520.
^According to Emperor Wen's biography in Book of Chen, Hou Andu was forced to commit suicide on the guisi day of the 6th month of the 4th year of the Tianjia era of his reign. This corresponds to 6 Jul 563 on the Julian calendar. ([天嘉四年]六月癸巳，太白昼见。司空侯安都赐死。) Chen Shu vol.03
