What is the meaning of "Dan" in The Chen Sheng Family?

In Dan Shu Job, it means: vermilion, vermilion.

So he wrote it in cinnabar.

Chen She Family is an article written by Sima Qian in Historical Records. The full text is:

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 was disappointed for a long time in his fallow ridge. He said, "If you have money, you will never forget each other." 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 troops were stationed in 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, Xiang Yan and sing for the world. I should respond more actively. " Guangwu thinks so. The soothsayer knew what this meant. He said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning, and you have merit. However, 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. In the temple next to Wu, there is a bonfire at night, and what does the fox say is "Great Chu Xing, Chen". All the soldiers are afraid at night. On the day of his death, stroke often talked, all referring to Chen Sheng.

Wu Guang loves his wife, and his foot soldiers are mostly users. Drunk the captain, so many words want to die, angered the captain, humiliated him, in order to anger his public. Weiguo kuan Wei Jian fought back, fought back, caught and killed the captain. Chen Sheng assisted him and killed two commanders. If the servant is a disciple, he said, "It rains all the time. If they are out of date, they should be cut off. Don't cut it first, but stick to it. When the strong die, they are for themselves, and when they die, they are famous. What kind of prince will it be! " All the disciples said, "I respect your commands." Fu Su and Xiang Yan, two sons, are pretending to obey the people. To the right is called Dachu. Alliance altar, sacrifice to the captain. Bobby Chen became a general and Guangwu became a captain. Attack osawa Township, and then attack. In this case, the commander put his soldiers east, attacked Luo, Mao, suffering, Zhe and Joe, all in this case. Okay, retreat. Compared with Chen, he rode six or seven hundred cars, rode more than one thousand, and killed tens of thousands of people. When attacking Chen, Chen Shouling was away, and he was fighting alone. Fu Sheng and Shou Cheng died according to Chen. A few days later, the monastery called three elders, heroes and everyone to the finance room. The three elders and all the heroes said, "The general is determined to win, and the attack is invincible. He has destroyed Qin and rebuilt Chu, so he deserves to be king." Make Chen She king, posthumous title Zhang Chu. At this time, all the counties harmed by Qin officials were punished by their officers and killed in response.

Translation:

Bobby Chen is from Yangcheng. Guangwu is from Yang Xia. When Chen She was young, he was employed to farm the land with others. Chen She stopped farming and rested on high ground near the field. He sighed and hated for a long time because of disappointment, saying, "If one day he is rich, don't forget each other." The companions replied with a smile: "How can you be rich when you work as an employee to farm for others?" Chen She sighed and said, "Alas, how does the sparrow know the direction of the swan?"

In July of the first year of Qin Ershi, the court recruited 900 poor civilians to defend Yuyang and settled in osawa Township. Chen Sheng and Guangwu were both put into the garrison in order, serving as small leaders. It happened to rain heavily and the road was blocked. I guess it was delayed. If it is delayed, according to the law of the Qin dynasty, it is necessary to behead. Chen Sheng discussed with Guangwu, saying, "Running away now is also death, and the uprising is also death. Is it okay to die for national affairs? " Chen Sheng said: "The people of the whole country were oppressed by the Qin Dynasty for a long time and suffered terribly. I heard that Qin Ershi, the youngest son of Qin Shihuang, should not be emperor. The man who should be emperor is childe Fu Su. Fu Su told Qin Shihuang many times, so the emperor sent him to lead troops outside. Now some people have heard that Fu Su is innocent, but I killed him. Most people heard that he was clever, but they didn't know that he was dead. When Xiang Yan was a general of Chu State, he repeatedly made meritorious military service and cared for the soldiers. The people of Chu state like him very much. Some people think he is dead, others think he has run away. Now, if we really pretend to be the team of childe Fu Su and Xiang Yan and send a call to the whole country, there should be many people responding. " Guangwu thinks that what Bobby Chen said is correct. So they went to divination. The fortune teller knew their intention and said, "You can all succeed in your affairs, and you will build your achievements. But why don't you ask ghosts and gods? " Chen Sheng and Guangwu were very happy. They thought of the diviner again and said, "This is just to teach us to convince everyone first." So he wrote "Chen" on the silk book with vermilion and put it in the belly of a fish caught by others with a net. When the garrison soldiers bought fish to cook, they found silk books in the belly of the fish, which was already very strange. Chen Sheng secretly sent Guangwu to a temple in the jungle next to the garrison. At night, he covered the fire with bamboo and pretended it was a ghost fire. He shouted like a fox: "Great Chu revives, and Chen Sheng is king!" The guards are scared at night. The next day, Shouzhi talked about it everywhere, pointing fingers at Bobby Chen.

Guangwu has always cared about his foot soldiers, and many of them are willing to work for him. The two officers escorting the garrison were drunk, and Guangwu deliberately said many times that he wanted to escape, which made the officers very angry and made them blame themselves, thus angering the garrison. The police officer really used bamboo boards to fight guangwu. The officer drew his sword again and threatened it. Guangwu jumped up, grabbed the sword and killed the officer. Chen Sheng helped him and killed two officers together. Chen Sheng and Guangwu called the guards and said, "You are trapped by the heavy rain, and you have missed the deadline of the imperial court. If you miss the deadline, you will be beheaded. Even if the court doesn't kill us, six or seven out of ten people guarding the border will definitely die. Besides, if a hero dies, he will achieve great fame when he dies! Are princes and nobles born expensive? " All the guards said, "obey your orders." So he pretended to be the team of Fu Su and Xiang Yan, and obeyed the wishes of the people. The army is marked by the right arm, which is called Dachu. They built a high platform, made an alliance on the platform and swore to dedicate the captain's head to heaven and earth. Bobby Chen became a general and Guangwu became a captain. The insurgents first captured osawa Township, absorbed the masses to join the army, and then attacked Qixian County. After the capture of Qixian, the emissary led troops to capture the east of Qixian and attacked Luo, Zhou, Zhe, Qiao and other places, all of which were captured. During the parade, people were absorbed along the way to join the rebel army. By the time we arrived in Chen county, the insurgents had six or seven hundred chariots, more than one thousand cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry. When attacking Chen county, the county magistrate and the county magistrate were not in the city, only the clever gate guarding the city fought against the insurgents. Defending the city was defeated and killed, and the insurgents entered the city and occupied Chen County. A few days later, Chen Sheng ordered to gather people and heroes. The three elders and heroes all said: "The general personally put on solid armor and held sharp weapons to crusade against the cruel king of Qin, crack down on the tyrannical Qin Dynasty and rebuild the State of Chu." Chen Sheng proclaimed himself king, claiming to rebuild Chu. At this time, the people oppressed by Qin officials in various counties punished the local governor and killed them in response to Chen She.
