The first peasant uprising in China history was led by Chen Sheng and Guangwu in osawa Township.
In 22 1 year BC, Qin Shihuang established the first feudal dynasty in China-Qin Dynasty. After his death, his son Hu Hai became the emperor of Qin Ershi. Cruel punishment, heavy taxes and various corvees have displaced farmers and destroyed their families. Qin Ershi has also built large-scale buildings and expropriated them everywhere, causing the poor to complain.
In 209 BC, Qin Ershi issued a decree to carry out corvee throughout the country. In July this year, 900 youths from Fangcheng County, Henan Province, under the supervision of two policemen, went to Yuyang Town to guard the border. At that time, the road was not easy because of the continuous heavy rain for several days. Arrived in osawa Township, the date has been missed. According to Qin law, this is beheading. At this time, the two of them were called Bobby Chen and Guangwu. They discussed, "Go is death, don't go is death. Why not do something desperate? " So they killed the police officer in custody.
Before the uprising, Chen Sheng wrote "Chen" on white silk and stuffed it into the fish's stomach. In the middle of the night, we set up a bonfire with bamboo in the ancient temple, and learned what "Chen" is from the fox's mouth, which is the so-called "fish belly Dan tree, bonfire fire whistle", thus creating momentum for the uprising.
During the uprising, Chen Sheng shouted: "Do you want a prince?" Then, "cutting wood for soldiers, uncovering poles as flags", that is, using sticks as weapons, tying cloth strips on bamboo poles as flags, and shouting the slogan "Wu Qin will eliminate violence", which caused revolution. Later, the uprising was represented by the idiom "coming back to life".
