Full-text Translation and Original Text of Chen She Family

Chen Shengsheng, a native of Yangcheng, is involved in words. Wu Guangzhe, Yang Xiaren, is an uncle. When Chen She was young, he tried to plow with people's servants, and he quit farming on the ridge halfway, and he was sad for a long time. He said, "If you are rich, you will never forget it." The servant smiled and replied, "If you are a servant, how can you be rich?" Chen She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well, sparrows know the ambition of swans!" ?

In July of the second year, 900 people entered Yuyang, osawa Township. Chen Sheng and Guangwu became captains of chariots. It will rain heavily, the road will be blocked, and the temperature has already been lost. When time is lost, the law will be cut. Chen Sheng and Guangwu said, "If you die today, you will die. How can you die if you wait to die? " Chen Sheng said: "Ku Jin suffers all over the world. I heard that II had a younger son, but it was not done properly. It was done by his son Fu Su. Fu Su admonished foreign generals with several words.

If you are not guilty today, you will be killed by II. Many people have heard of their sages, but they don't know their death. Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, made many contributions and loved foot soldiers. The Chu people pitied him. Or think of death, or think of death. Today, I sincerely call myself Fu Su and Xiang Yan, and sing for the world, so I should respond more. "Light arms. Naixingbu

Knowing what it meant, the fortune teller said, "Everything has its first step. You have made contributions. But the ghost of the first step? " Chen Sheng and Wu Guangxi thought of ghosts and said, "This teaches me to show my ears first." It is written in Dan Shu that "Chen Shengwang" was put in the belly of a fish. Strangely, a pawn bought fish to cook and got a book in the fish's stomach. There is a bonfire in the temple next to Wu. what does the fox say said, "Chu Xing, Chen!" All the soldiers are afraid at night. On the day of his death, stroke often talked, all referring to Chen Sheng. ?

Translation:?

Chen Sheng, a native of Yangcheng County, is called She. Guangwu is a native of Yang Xia County. His name is Uncle. When Bobby Chen was young, he was hired to farm with others. (One day), he stopped farming and went to the highland near the field (rest). Sighing for half a day, he said to his companions, "Whoever is rich one day, don't forget our poor brothers."

His companions answered him with a smile: "You can't be rich if you work for others!" Chen Sheng sighed: "How do sparrows know the ambition of swans?" ?

In July of the first year of Qin Ershi, 900 poor civilians were recruited to defend Yuyang and temporarily stayed in osawa Township. Bobby Chen and Guangwu are both in this team and serve as team leaders. It rained heavily and the road was blocked. I guess I have missed the deadline. If you miss the deadline, you will be beheaded according to the military law of the Qin Dynasty.

Chen Sheng discussed with Guangwu and said, "It's death to run away now, and it's death to rise up and rebel. They're all dead anyway. You might as well die for your country. How about this? " Chen Sheng said: "The people of the whole country were oppressed by the Qin Dynasty for a long time and suffered terribly. It is said that II is the youngest son, and he should not be made king, but his eldest son, Fu Su. Fu Su was repeatedly persuaded by the first emperor, who sent him to the frontier to lead troops.

Recently, it was rumored that I killed him for no reason. Most people heard that he was clever, but they didn't know that he was dead. When Xiang Yan was a general of Chu, he made a lot of contributions and took care of his foot soldiers. Chu people like him very much. Some people think that he died in the battle, while others think that he escaped.

Now, if we pretend to be childe Fu Su and Xiang Yan's team and send a call to the whole country, there should be many people responding. "Guangwu thinks (this view) is correct. (two people) and then went to calculate divination. Knowing their intentions, the fortune teller said, "You can achieve everything and make contributions.

But you'd better ask ghosts and gods! Bobby Chen and Guangwu are very happy. They tried to figure out the meaning of "asking ghosts and gods" and finally realized: "This is to teach us to establish prestige among people first." So he wrote the word "Chen" on the silk strips with vermilion, and then stuffed the silk strips into the stomach of a fish caught by others. The soldiers bought fish and cooked it. It is strange that they found silk strips in the fish's stomach.

(Bobby Chen) secretly sent Musashi to a temple in the jungle near the station. After dark, he lit a lantern (fitted with a jack-o'-lantern), pretended to be a fox's voice, and shouted to (the soldier), "Great Chu revives, and Chen Sheng is king." The soldiers were frightened all night. The next day, everyone talked about it everywhere, pointing at each other and telling Bobby Chen what to do. ?

Guangwu usually cares about the people around him, and most soldiers are willing to contribute to him. (That day) (two) officers were drunk, and Guangwu deliberately repeatedly proposed to escape, making them angry and making them punish him, so as to anger the soldiers. That officer did whip Guangwu. The soldiers were angry. The officer drew his sword to intimidate (soldiers). Guangwu jumped up and grabbed the sword to kill him. Chen Sheng assisted Guangwu and killed two officers together.

Chen Sheng called all the guards together and announced the order, saying, "Everyone (here) was caught in heavy rain, and they all exceeded the prescribed time limit for reaching Yuyang. If it expires, it will be beheaded. Even if you don't get killed by luck, six or seven of the ten frontier guards will die. Besides, if a gentleman doesn't die, there will be great things. Are princes and nobles born expensive? " The guards replied in unison, "I will obey your orders."

So they pretended to be the team of Fu Su and Xiang Yan, the sons, to obey the wishes of the people. Everyone flashed their right arms (as a symbol of the rebel army) and played the banner of Dachu. He also built a high platform, held an oath ceremony and offered the heads of two officers to heaven and earth. Chen Sheng was appointed general and Guangwu was appointed captain.

The insurgents (first) attacked osawa Township, occupied the township, and then attacked Qixian County. After conquering Qixian, the messenger Ying Ge led troops to capture the east of Qixian. (Chen Sheng rate is the main force) attack, Fujian, Zhejiang and Qiaocheng counties, all of which are taken. In Chen county, there are six or seven hundred chariots, more than one thousand war horses and tens of thousands of foot soldiers. When attacking Chen county, the county magistrate and the county magistrate were not in the city, and only the defenders led the troops to fight at the bridge gate.

The insurgents could not be defeated (for a while), and the army was killed (soon) before entering Chen County. A few days later, Bobby Chen called local township government officials and prestigious people to discuss major issues.

These people said with one voice: "General, you go into battle in person, crusade against the cruel and heartless State of Qin, restore the State of Chu, and be king on merit." So Chen Sheng was acclaimed as king, claiming to rebuild Chu. At this time, the people oppressed by the officials of counties and counties in the Qin Dynasty, in response to Chen Sheng's call, revolted in succession, punishing local officials and killing them.

Writing background

During the reign of Qin Shihuang, palaces and mausoleums were built on a large scale, the Great Wall and post roads were built, and troops were used to fight against Xiongnu and South Vietnam, which consumed a lot of manpower and financial resources and greatly increased the corvee and tax burden of the people. At the same time, the rulers of the Qin dynasty also enacted cruel laws with severe punishments, which made it easy for the people to violate the criminal law. After Qin Ershi succeeded to the throne, he was endowed with more benefits, which led to the exhaustion of the world and the suffering of the people.

Under the brutal rule of Qin Dynasty, the first vigorous peasant uprising broke out in the history of China-Daze Township Uprising led by Chen Sheng and Guangwu. The desperate fate of 900 people in osawa Township in July of the following year is a microcosm of the situation of the working people in the whole country, and it is also the reason why a single spark in osawa Township can ignite the national peasant uprising and start a prairie fire.

Because the influence of the Qin Dynasty was still very strong at that time, and Chen Sheng himself was not good at unifying internal affairs, coveting the life of the vassals and separating himself from the masses, this rebel army failed in just half a year, and Chen Sheng himself was killed by traitors. However, under the influence and promotion of this uprising, all kinds of insurgents swept across the country quickly, disillusioning China, which was ruled forever by the descendants of Qin Shihuang, and the Qin Dynasty was overthrown after 15 years.
