The original text and word explanation of the biography of Chen Shou in the Book of Jin

Translated by Chen Shouchuan, the Book of Jin

Chen Shouzi was inherited by Han people in Baxian. Less studious, learning from the same county as Qiao Zhou. As an official in Shu, Huang Hao, an official, specializes in authoritarianism, and all ministers attach it to it, so he is not bent on it, so he has been repeatedly condemned.

When my father died and I was ill, I asked my servant to take pills, and the guests went to see him, but the township party thought it was derogatory. And Shu Ping, sitting is a stagnant person for many years. Sikong Zhanghua loves his talents, and though his longevity is not far away, his original feelings will not be devalued, and he will be regarded as filial piety. In addition to assisting as a lang, he will make up for the rising tone. Write Zhuge Liang's collection of Shu phase, and play it, in addition to being a lang, leading the county to be in the middle. Sixty-five chronicles of the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Wu and Shu were called good at narration and good at history. When Xiahou Zhan wrote Wei Shu, when he saw what Shou had done, he ruined his own book. Zhang Hua is deep in goodness, and he is called Shouyue: "When you pay attention to the book of Jin." It is important for the time. Or Yun Dingyi and Ding Kun were famous in Wei Dynasty. When they lived, they said to their sons, "You can find thousands of meters to meet you, and you should make a good biography for the respect of the public." Ding did not cooperate with it, but did not make a biography. Shoufu joined the army for Ma Su, and was condemned by Zhuge Liang. Shoufu also sat by the quilt, and Zhuge Zhan was light-lived; Life is bright. It is said that "a bright general is not long enough, and there is no talent to deal with the enemy", and it is said that "looking only at the work, the name is exaggerated", and the discussants rarely use it.

Zhang Hua promoted his longevity to Zhongshulang, and Xun Xu died of illness because he was jealous of China, so he ridiculed the official department and moved his longevity to Changguang Taishou. Quit your mother and get old. Du Yu recommended the town to the emperor, and should make up for Huang San. Therefore, he was awarded the book of imperial history and left his post with his mother's worries. Mother's last words ordered Luoyang to be buried, and her life was in accordance with her wishes. He also sat not to be buried with his mother, but was actually condemned. At the beginning, Qiao Zhou tasted longevity and said, "Qing will be famous for his talent and learning. It is not unfortunate to be damaged, so you should be careful." Life at this point to waste shame, as Zhou Yan. After a few years old, he became the illegitimate son of the prince and did not worship. Yuankang died of illness in seven years, at the age of sixty-five.

Fan Qi, a senior official of Liangzhou Dazhengzheng, said on the above table: "Yesterday, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wrote that" Sima Xiangru was very ill, so he could be sent to get his book ",and the messenger got his suicide note, saying that the Zen was closed, and the son of heaven was different. Chen Shou, the minister and other officials, wrote the book according to the past, and made a report on the Three Kingdoms. His words and exhortations were clear about the gains and losses, which was beneficial to weathering. Although Wen Yan is not like each other, but the quality is straight. I am willing to record it. " So he ordered Henan Yin and Luoyang to write their books at home. Shou also wrote 5 ancient country chronicles, 1 old biographies of Yidu, and the rest were handed down to the world.

Chen Shou is a Chinese in Baxian. I like learning very much when I was young, and I studied under the same county in Qiao Zhou. In Shu, Huang Hao, the eunuch in the dynasty, monopolized the power and played with power. All the ministers colluded with him against their will, but Chen Shou did not give in, so he was repeatedly demoted and dismissed from office. After Chen Shou's father died, he got sick himself, so he asked the maid to make the medicine into pills, which were seen by the guests who went to his house. The villagers (who thought he was unfilial) gave him a low evaluation. When Shu was pacified by Wei, it was because of this that the official position was not promoted for many years. Zhang Hua, a Sikong in the Jin Dynasty, cherished his talent. He thought that although Chen Shou could not avoid suspicion, he would not be demoted if he studied the truth. He was elected as a filial piety, transferred to an auxiliary job, and transferred to a county magistrate to subsidize Yangping. He wrote "Zhuge Liang Collection of Shu Xiang" and played it on the emperor. He was appointed as a writer and concurrently served as the county leader. Write the reflection of Wei Shuwu, * * * sixty-five. At that time, people praised him for being good at writing articles and having the talent of being an excellent historian. Xiahou Zhan was writing the Book of Wei. When he saw what Chen Shou had written, he destroyed what he had written and gave up writing again. Zhang Hua was very pleased and said to Chen Shou, "This matter should be written into the Book of Jin!" That's how he was valued at that time. It is rumored that Ding Yi and Ding Kun were once famous in Wei State. Chen Shou said to their son, "If you send 1, hectares of rice, write a good biography for your father." The sons of Rockett and Ding Ke didn't give him rice, but Chen Shou didn't write a biography for Rockett and Ding Ke. Chen Shou's father joined the army in Ma Su, and Ma Su was killed by Zhuge Liang. Chen Shou's father was also found guilty of having his head shaved, and Zhuge Liang's son Zhuge Zhan despised Chen Shou very much. When Chen Shou wrote a biography of Zhuge Liang, he said that Zhuge Liang was not good at strategy and had no ability to deal with the enemy. He said that Zhuge Zhan only wrote good calligraphy in name only. People look down on him because of this. Zhang Hua is going to recommend Shu Lang of Chen Shou. Xun Xu hates Zhang Hua and Chen Shou, so he shakes Chen Shou in the official department, and the official department moves Chen Shou to be the prefect of Changguang. Chen shou excused his mother's age and refused to take office. Under Du Yu's intervention, he once again recommended Chen Shou to the emperor, thinking that he was suitable to fill the post of Shangshu, so he was appointed as an adviser, and he didn't take office because he was worried about his mother. Chen Shou's mother's last words asked Chen Shou to bury her in Luoyang, and Chen Shou obeyed her mother's wishes. However, he was convicted of not burying his mother in his hometown and was finally dismissed from office. At the beginning, Qiao Zhou once said to Chen Shou: "You will definitely become famous because of your talents, but you will be humiliated and encounter twists and turns. It is not unfortunate. Be careful!" Chen Shou has been dismissed from office once again, and what Qiao Zhou said in those years has been fulfilled one by one. A few years later, Chen Shou was enabled as the illegitimate son of the prince, but he didn't report it. In the seventh year of Yuankang, Chen Shou died of illness and died at the age of 65.

Fan Qi, a senior official of Liangzhou Dazhengzheng, and others said on the table: "In the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said in an imperial edict that" after Sima Xiangru died of illness, he could bring all his books. "When the messenger got the book after Sima Xiangru's death, it was written that the Zen was closed, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very surprised. Several of our ministers have reviewed the annals of the Three Kingdoms written by Chen Shou, a former scholar, and there are many words of encouragement and warning in the book, which clarify the gains and losses and are beneficial to the social atmosphere. Although the gorgeous degree of the article is not as good as that of Sima Xiangru, the quality is indeed even worse. I hope that I can get the favor of the emperor and use the entry. " So the emperor ordered Henan Yin and Luoyang to copy Chen Shou's book at home. Chen Shou also wrote 5 ancient chronicles and 1 biographies of Yidu, which were spread all over the world.
