Lu Zhi (Tang dynasty)

In this Chinese name, the family name is Lu.

Lu Zhi (Chinese: 陸贄; 754–805), courtesy name Jingyu (敬輿), posthumous name Xuan (宣), was a politician of China's Tang dynasty. He served as a personal advisor and later chancellor to Emperor Dezong.

Lu Zhi enjoyed the Emperor Dezong's confidence as a palace academician and imperial confidant, but as chancellor offended Emperor Dezong by repeatedly accusing the high official Pei Yanling of misconduct, and was demoted and died in exile. He left a relatively large body of writing on his advice to Emperor Dezong, which discussed in fair detail the condition of the Tang people at the time and thus is considered valuable, by historians such as Bo Yang, in contributing to historians' understanding of mid-Tang life.
