Born in Jiu County, Chenglu County (now this place is located in Ningling County, Henan Province), the exact date of birth is unknown), it is believed that Dian Wei had superhuman strength from childhood.

When Dian Wei was young, he killed a man in revenge for a friend, when people found out about this and came to punish him. Dian Wei went to them with the head of the killed man and asked who wants to fight him. No one was found. After that, he was forced to flee the city. In 189, he joined the coalition forces against Dong Zhuo under the leadership of the small feudal lord Zhang Miao. He impressed the allies when he managed to hold onto a huge banner that several other men together could not do. Later, Dian Wei transferred to the troops of Xiahou Dong , the best general Cao Cao . During the campaign against Lu Bu , in Puyang , Cao Cao’s troops were ambushed. According to the novel The Three Kingdoms , Dian Wei asked to give him spears, and when the enemies came five steps away, he began to throw spears with such force and speed that the enemies panicked and fled. After this, Xiahou Dun recommended him to Cao Cao and he made him a personal bodyguard along with Xu Chu . Seeing not only the strength and loyalty of Dian Wei, but also his mind, Cao ordered him to learn the skill of a commander. However, this talent in Dian Wei did not have time to manifest itself. In 197, Cao Cao was invited to a banquet to surrender to General Zhang Xiu and immediately agreed. However, the commander was only looking for the moment to kill Cao, for this, he ordered to give Dian Wei a drink and pick up his weapon, because he was afraid of a powerful bodyguard. An unexpected assassination attempt failed: Cao Cao managed to get out of the chambers and run on horseback when Zhang Xiu sent his army for him, Dian Wei and a dozen other soldiers stood in the front gate and defended them from the whole army. Even when all his comrades died, and Dian Wei himself received many injuries, he continued to fight. With one wave of a halberd, he killed up to ten enemies, after that he grabbed two enemies and used them as a weapon, no one dared to approach him, then he rushed forward and killed several enemies with his bare hands, after which he died from blood loss. During this time, Cao Cao managed to escape. Upon learning of the death of Dian Wei, he was heartbroken. and ordered the bodyguard to be stolen to bury him with all honors. The post of Dian Wei was taken by his son Dian Man.
