Qian Yuanguan (Chinese: 錢元瓘) (November 30, 887 – September 17, 941[2][8]), born Qian Chuanguan (錢傳瓘), also known by his temple name as the King Shizong of Wuyue (吳越世宗), courtesy name Mingbao (明寶), was the second king of Wuyue during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period of China. He ascended to the throne in 932, when his father Qian Liu (King Taizu) left the state in his hands, to 941. He was the father to all three of Wuyue's subsequent kings.
^When Qian Yuanguan started his "reign" depends on the definition of "reign." Qian Yuanguan took full control of the Wuyue domain upon the death of his father Qian Liu in 932, but was not created and did not use the title of King of Wuyue (which his father had carried by creation by emperors of Later Liang and Later Tang) until 937.
^ abSpring and Autumn Annals of the Ten Kingdoms (十國春秋), vol. 79.
^932 was the 3rd year of Changxing.
^The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Ten Kingdoms recorded the Shizong temple name but noted that the use of temple names by Wuyue kings were not fully confirmed.
