Calligraphy inscription
The source of this sentence comes from Sima Qian's Historical Records of Xiang Yu: "The father destroyed the six countries, and Chu was the most innocent. Since Huai Wang entered Qin, the Chu people have been pitiful so far, so Chu Nangong said,' Although there are three Chu families, Qin will be defeated.' "
At the end of Qin Dynasty, the rule of Qin Dynasty was cruel, and Chen Sheng, Guangwu and others could not bear it. They led the anti-Qin campaign in osawa Township. Xiang Liang and his nephew Xiang Yu are also responding. Sheng was defeated by Chen Guangling, but his men falsely sent Chen Sheng's orders to Xiang Liang to attack Qin Jun. Xiang Liang had no doubt that he was unstoppable with a great army. Rebels from all over the country also joined in, making Xiang Liang's army grow rapidly.
This is where people live. There is a 70-year-old man named Fan Zeng. One day, Fan Zeng visited Xiang Liang and persuaded Xiang Liang: "Qin destroyed the six countries, and Chu's innocence was the biggest mistake. Because Chu Huaiwang was tricked into Qin, he was detained by Qin people and died in Qin. To this day, the Chu people have no sympathy for Chu Huaiwang, and always think about revenge. So Chu Nangong said,' Even if there are only three clans left in Chu, the State of Qin can be destroyed', and the Chu people never forget it! Although Chen Sheng led the uprising this time, he became king on his own. Without the support of the descendants of the Chu people, his power could not last long. The general's uprising in Jiangdong was supported and responded by Chu soldiers because your ancestors were all Chu generals. Chu people all hope that you can support the descendants of the king of Chu and revive Chu! "
Xiang Liang listened to Fan Zeng's suggestion, made Chu Huaiwang's grandson king of Chu, and called himself Wu Xinjun, conforming to public opinion, which was unparalleled at that time.
This is the origin of the idiom "Three Households Died in Qin", which means that even though we are weak, we can unite and succeed.
Lu You's poet once wrote this allusion in the poem "Although the Three Chu Dynasties can destroy Qin, why are they free to spend time in China" to express his ambition to resist gold and serve the country.
Fan Zeng, a 70-year-old local, has been at home. Curious about this plan, he said to Xiang Liang, "Chen Sheng will be defeated. When his father destroyed six countries, Chu was the most innocent. Since Chu Huaiwang entered the Qin Dynasty, the Chu people have been pitiful to this day, so Chu Nangong said,' Although there are three Chu families, Qin will be destroyed'. Now Chen Shengshou is the first to stand on his own feet and not stand behind Chu, which will not last long. Now that the monarch has started from Jiangdong, Chu bees will all strive to attach themselves to the monarch at noon, so that the monarch will be General Chu for the rest of his life and restore Chu. " So Xiang Liang ran away from his words, asking Chu Huaiwang Sun Xin to be a folk and a shepherd, thinking of Chu Huaiwang and expecting from the folk. Chen Ying is a pillar country of Chu, sealing five counties, and looking for Taiwan with Wang Huai. Xiang Liang named himself Wu Xinjun. -"Historical Records of Xiang Yu"
