Extended data:
The article "Chen She Family" was written in the order of events. To write about the process of the uprising, we should first write about the reasons and plans before the uprising, and then write about the outbreak and development of the uprising until the establishment of the political power. The background is very clear. In the narrative, the causal writing is adopted.
To write the motives of the uprising, first write the harsh laws of Qin; Write about the occurrence of the uprising, then the cruelty of the commander, and so on. All of them are reasonable, which strongly highlights the justice of the uprising. Through the description of typical details, this paper fully shows the process of the uprising, its great momentum and the mental outlook of its leaders, thus leaving a deep impression on people.
This paper vividly describes the historical process from the Daze Township Uprising to the establishment of Zhang Chu regime, and reproduces the heroic qualities of two uprising leaders, Chen Sheng and Guangwu.
Bobby Chen's class consciousness is high and he has "great ambition". This is manifested in the dialogue between servants and companions, and in the speeches of the two commanders to their disciples after they were killed, especially the words "the princes would rather plant", which is a powerful denial and criticism of the feudal hereditary system.
It is precisely because of his foresight and inspirational words that he can receive the effect of "respecting orders" every day. As the leader of the uprising, Chen Sheng and Guangwu were quick-witted and decisive, and made careful plans and arrangements for the uprising. "It will rain heavily, the road will be impassable, and the temperature has been lost." If time fails, the law will be cut "is the direct cause of the uprising of Chen She and others.
Chen Sheng and Guangwu kept calm in a crisis, made a decisive decision, planned an uprising, and were determined to let the masses live, which showed that they had a good grasp of the timing of the uprising. In their plot, Bobby Chen made an incisive analysis of the current situation and grasped the social background that "the world is suffering from Ku Jin".
On the basis of this analysis, we decided to use the banner of Fu Su and Xiang Yan, because "the people know more about their talents, but their deaths are unknown", "Xiang Yan made many contributions, and cherished his soldiers, and the Chu people pitied him" and "either thought of death or thought of death". This slogan is "even more so". Inspired by fortune tellers, they carefully planned two "supernatural" events, the fish belly of Dan tree and the fox sound of bonfire, which deceived the eyes and ears of other guards.
They co-starred in the double reed drama of killing generals and successfully ignited the fuse of the uprising, which shows that they are good at planning. The following article "All Counties Suffer from Qin Officials" takes care of the above-mentioned "all the world suffers" and "all its officers are punished and killed to respond", which echoes the above-mentioned "those who should respond more". These two sentences show that Bobby Chen's analysis is completely correct, which shows his ability to understand the current situation.
It was Chen She's planning ability and insight that led to the uprising, which quickly spread to all parts of the country. Chen Sheng and Guangwu had divination when they were planning the uprising, and later, at the suggestion of fortune tellers, they conducted two more scams: Dan Shu and Hu Ming. This deception of creating public opinion to overthrow a regime is common at the turning point of China's history.
When people have a strong fear of fate, it is the most ingenious and effective way to show that they are superman ordered by heaven with various tricks. However, Chen Sheng and Guangwu themselves are not superstitious about destiny, and "princes will have seeds" is their real thought.
When describing Chen Sheng and Wu Guangxing's divination, the author Sima Qian deliberately debunked that "the soothsayer knows his meaning", that is, "knowing his meaning" means "all goes well with one step". As for "divining ghosts", he is obviously participating in a conspiracy. This kind of deception is fully revealed in the writings of Chen She family, and Liu Bang's myth of snake-cutting is also preserved in Biography of Emperor Gaozu, which reflects Sima Qian's progressive view of history.
