Jin Chenshou's Biography of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Zhi and Wang Su: "People learn from scholars and refuse to teach when they meet, but the cloud says,' You must read it a hundred times first' and say,' Read it a hundred times and see for yourself.'

Chen Shou (233-297) was born in Anhan, Brazil (now Nanchong, Sichuan) in the Western Jin Dynasty. He is less studious, and studied under Qiao Zhou, a scholar from the same county. In Shu Han Dynasty, he served as the main book of General Wei, the secretary of Dongguan, the history of Guange, and the assistant minister of Huangmen. At that time, the eunuch Huang Hao was autocratic, and all the ministers followed suit. Chen Shou was repeatedly dismissed because he refused to give in to Huang Hao. After entering the Jin Dynasty, he served as a writer, a prefect of Changping, a scholar and a censor. In 28, Jin destroyed Dongwu, ending the separatist situation. Chen Shou was forty-eight years old at that time, and began to write "The History of the Three Kingdoms".
