Chen shou.

Nothing can be achieved with humility, but nothing can be achieved with complacency. Modesty: not self-righteous, able to accept other people's opinions, complacency: content with your achievements. Modesty can help you succeed in many things; And self-righteous, conceited, nine out of ten things may not be done, indicating that the possibility of doing things is very small.

Chen Shou (233-297), the word Chengzuo. A native of Han 'an County, Brazil (now Nanchong, Sichuan). A famous historian of Shu and Han dynasties in the Three Kingdoms and the Western Jin Dynasty. When I was young, I longed to learn. I studied under Qiao Zhou, a scholar in the same county. When I was there, I used to be the main book of General Wei, the secretary of Dongguan, the history of Guan Ge and the assistant minister of Huangmen. At that time, eunuch Huang Hao was authoritarian, and his ministers followed suit. Chen Shou was repeatedly dismissed because he refused to give in to Huang Hao. After Shu fell to Jin, he worked as a writer, magistrate, scholar and prince. He was demoted and criticized many times in his later years. Yuan Kang died in 297 at the age of 65.

In the first year of Taikang (280), after the division of the Jin Dynasty, Chen Shou went through 10 years of hardships, and completed 65 volumes of 367,000-word biographical historical masterpiece "The History of the Three Kingdoms", which completely described the historical panorama of China from division to unity in the late Han Dynasty and early Jin Dynasty, and compared it with Historical Records, Hanshu and the later Han Dynasty.
