Introduction to Chen Shou and the history book "Three Kingdoms" Introduction: Introduction to Chen Shou: Chen Shou, 233 years (the eleventh year of the founding of the Shu Han Dynasty) ) was born in Anhan County (now Shunqing District, Nanchong City) and died in 297 (the seventh year of Yuankang in the Western Jin Dynasty) at the age of 65. When Chen Shou was born, it was Wei, Shu, and Chen Shou. Introduction: Chen Shou was born in Anhan County (now Shunqing District, Nanchong City) in 233 (the eleventh year of Jianxing of the Shu Han Dynasty), and in 297 (the seventh year of Yuankang in the Western Jin Dynasty). ) died at the age of 65. When Chen Shou was born, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu were at odds with each other, and there were frequent wars. Before Chen Shou was born, his father had already joined the army, and later he gradually became a senior general in charge of the army. Because of the Battle of Jieting, his father quit the army and returned to his hometown in Anhan. Chen Shou received strict family education since he was a child, and his parents attached great importance to cultivating him into a person with both political integrity and talent. Therefore, he did not hesitate to spend his family's money to build a "Wanjuan Tower" for him to study at the foot of Zhixiguo Mountain, and hired famous local Confucians as his private tutor. He lived up to the high expectations of his parents, respected his teachers, studied diligently, was good at asking questions and thinking well, and continued to improve his studies. About 238-257 years (the middle and late period of Yanxi), Chen Shou said goodbye to his parents with his honest and honest conduct and excellent academic performance, and came to Chengdu, the capital of Shu Han at that time, to study at Taixue, the highest institution in the country. At that time, Qiao Zhou, a disciple of the famous scholar Qin Mi and a great Confucian in Shu, and a native of Xichong County, served as the classics scholar of the Shu Han Central Committee in Chengdu, and personally taught and taught the students of Taizhou.
Qiao Zhou is naturally Chen Shou’s teacher. In Taixue, Chen Shou diligently studied the pre-Qin Confucian classics "Shangshu" and "Three Biography of the Spring and Autumn Period", and learned the ways of governing the people and rejuvenating the country from famous masters and wise kings in the past. He was particularly interested in modern history, and he took the trouble to read Sima Qian's "Historical Records" and Ban Gu's "Hanshu", as well as various classics since the pre-Qin Dynasty. He often sat alone in the schoolhouse until late at night, facing the solitary lamp. Qiao Zhou valued this disciple very much, so he often read with him at night regardless of fatigue, taught him in accordance with his aptitude, and answered his questions. Chen Shoucong was alert and discerning. No matter how difficult his reading was, he could clearly understand its grand purpose at a glance. He was also good at writing, with practical content and rich diction. Therefore, he was highly praised by teachers and students of Taixue, and was called Confucius. Sharing common sense of life.

After completing his studies at Taixue, Chen Shou began to enter his official career. At the end of Yanxi period, he was ordered to serve as the chief clerk of Jiang Wei, the general of Wei (the second rank, second to the third division), to collect documents and handle daily military affairs. After that, he was successively transferred to Dongguan of the Shuhan Central Library as Secretary Lang, and as the Huangmen Sanqi Shilang who served the emperor and conveyed imperial orders. When Chen Shou was the minister of Sanqi in Huangmen, it was a critical autumn when the Shu Han's national power was declining and Cao Wei's strong troops in the north were suppressing him. Later, the emperor was idle all day long and did not intervene in the government affairs. The eunuch Huang Hao took the opportunity to monopolize authority, and the politics of Shu Han fell into unprecedented chaos. Liu Chan's younger brother Liu Yong was very dissatisfied with Huang Hao's dictatorship. Liu Chan actually listened to Eunuch Jian's slander and expelled Liu Yong from the court and moved him to a local official instead of allowing him to return to the capital.
General Jiang Wei saw that Huang Hao had many cronies and was so powerful that he once suggested that Liu Chan get rid of Huang Hao to maintain long-term peace and order, but Liu Chan would not listen at all. Huang Hao hated Jiang Wei even more. Chen Shou also suffered setbacks in his official career because he was unwilling to follow him. Just when Chen Shou's career was experiencing setbacks, his father passed away. During the funeral process, he was bedridden due to extreme grief and overwork. As a last resort, he had to ask his maid to prepare pills for him. Unexpectedly, this matter became known to the villagers, and the people ridiculed him for violating the feudal rule of "no intimacy between men and women". In this way, Chen Shou was sluggish again and was unable to be promoted for many years. In 263, Sima Zhao divided his troops into three groups to attack Shu. At this time, the Shu army was unable to resist, and finally had to surrender to Cao Wei. In 264, the Shu Han Dynasty fell.
Chen Shou, who had always cared about his country as well as his family, returned to his hometown and lived deep in Wanjuan Tower, burying the death of his father, the resentment of being deposed, and the pain of destroying the country deeply into the mountains of books and the sea of ??ink... In this way, Chen Shou spent nearly ten years of poor life in his hometown in Anhan. In 265, Sima Yan deposed Emperor Cao Huan of Wei Yuan Dynasty and established the Western Jin Dynasty on his own, changing the name to Taishi. In order to achieve the grand goal of annihilating Sun Wu and unifying the country, Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, recruited talents extensively and used the methods of Wei and Shu's remaining ministers and descendants of their ancestors. In mid-spring of 268 (the fourth year of Taishi), Emperor Wu of Jin held a banquet with his ministers in Hualin Garden. During the banquet, Emperor Wu of Jin asked everyone to recommend talents.

In his early years, he and Chen Shou were fellow students of the Shu Han Dynasty. He was also very talented and virtuous.
Luo Xianji highly praised Chen Shou and others for their learning and practice, and highly recommended it for further use. Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty immediately issued an edict, ordering Chen Shou to enter Beijing and Luo as soon as possible. After Chen Shou entered Beijing, he was awarded the post of Assistant to the Master, and at the same time, he was appointed as the Zhongzheng Official in Brazil County, responsible for the selection and selection of talents. Zhongshu ordered Guannei Hou and Qiao to ask Emperor Wu of Jin to give Chen Shou the important task of compiling the story of Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu Han. Soon, Chen Shou was ordered to serve as the Hou Xiang (equivalent to the county magistrate) in Pingyang (now west of Linfen, Shanxi). During his stay in Pingyang, when the Central Committee of the Western Jin Dynasty vigorously urged the emphasis on agriculture and profit, Chen Shou was diligent in government affairs and squeezed out his spare time to continue compiling the "Collection of Zhuge Family". After several years, the "Zhuge Liang Collection" with twenty-four chapters and "One Hundred and Four Thousand One Hundred and Twelve Ans" was compiled. This book comprehensively organizes and preserves Zhuge Liang's successful experience in stabilizing the people and strengthening the country, and running the army and strengthening the military during his lifetime. On February 1, 273 (the tenth year of Taishi), Chen Shou returned to Beijing from Pingyang to present this book. Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty greatly appreciated it after reading it, and issued an edict to accept him as the author of the book (a great book in the Jin Dynasty). Afterwards, Chen Shou was transferred from Pingyang back to Luoyang, Kyoto, and continued to serve as the Zhongzheng official of Brazil County. Chen Shou, a native of Shu, has always attached great importance to promoting the excellent cultural heritage of his hometown. The writing of "Yibu Qi Jiu Biography" is a concrete reflection. The book records hundreds of famous people in the Yi tribe from the Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, covering three to four hundred years. This book was not only praised by the current emperor Sima Yan and scribes, but also had a great influence on later generations. Wang Xianzhi, a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, went to great lengths to write the ten-volume "Old Biography of Yibu Qi" in handwriting and gave it to his friends as a treasure.
This shows that the world attaches great importance to this book. Chang Cu, a famous local history expert from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, not only praised the book as being comparable to "Historical Records" and "Hanshu", but also used it as a source when writing "Huayang Guozhi". Later, Chang Kuan wrote "Xuyi Bu Qi Jiu Biography" and also followed his system. Later, Pei Songzhi's "Three Kingdoms", Li Daoyuan's "Shui Jing Zhu", Xu Jian's "Ji Xue Ji" and Song Dynasty's "Taiping Yulan", etc., all quoted a large number of this book to fill in the gaps of the old history. , or amplify old anecdotes. It is a pity that this book was lost after the Song Dynasty. In 280 AD, the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed Wu, and China returned to unity after more than a hundred years of division since the end of the Han Dynasty. In order to meet political needs, Chen Shou now shouldered the important task of researching and writing the history of the Three Kingdoms. He worked day and night to collect and sort out a large number of archives and documents from the Three Kingdoms period, interviewed anecdotes of historical figures, folk rumors and songs, visited the relics of famous people in the Three Kingdoms, assessed the surnames, years, official titles and deeds of the characters in old history, and began a series of He was the author of the great historical work "Three Kingdoms". After ten years of hard work, it was basically completed roughly ten years before Taikang. This book has sixty-five volumes, except for one volume of "Xulu" (lost)
