Chen Yuanyuan (simplified Chinese: 陈圆圆; traditional Chinese: 陳圓圓; pinyin: Chén Yuányuán; 1624–1681), born Xing Yuan (邢沅), lived near the end of the Ming Dynasty, and was a concubine of Wu Sangui. Her courtesy name was Wanfen (Chinese: 畹芬). Her actual historical significance is disputed, although it is largely believed that Chen was pivotal in Wu Sangui's campaigns after the fall of the Ming. She was one of the 8 beauties in Jiangnan (江南八豔), also known as the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai".
