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 sighed, "oh! Swallows know the ambition of swans! "

Writing background:
During the reign of Qin Shihuang, palaces and mausoleums were built on a large scale, the Great Wall and post roads were built, and troops were used to fight against Xiongnu and South Vietnam, which consumed a lot of manpower and financial resources and greatly increased the corvee and tax burden of the people. At the same time, the rulers of the Qin dynasty also enacted cruel laws with severe punishments, which made it easy for the people to violate the criminal law. After Qin Ershi succeeded to the throne, he was endowed with more benefits, which led to the exhaustion of the world and the suffering of the people.
Under the brutal rule of Qin Dynasty, the first vigorous peasant uprising broke out in the history of China-Daze Township Uprising led by Chen Sheng and Guangwu. The desperate fate of 900 people in osawa Township in July of the following year is a microcosm of the situation of the working people in the whole country, and it is also the reason why a single spark in osawa Township can ignite the national peasant uprising and start a prairie fire.
Because the influence of the Qin Dynasty was still very strong at that time, and Chen Sheng himself was not good at unifying internal affairs, coveting the life of the vassals and separating himself from the masses, this rebel army failed in just half a year, and Chen Sheng himself was killed by traitors. However, under the influence and promotion of this uprising, all kinds of insurgents swept across the country quickly, disillusioning China, which was ruled forever by the descendants of Qin Shihuang, and the Qin Dynasty was overthrown after 15 years.
