, the word Chengzuo, Ba, is from Nanchong, Sichuan. He was born in 233 AD, that is, the 11th year of Jianxing in Shu Han Dynasty, and died in 297 AD, that is, the 7th year of Yuankang in Western Jin Dynasty. I have been very studious since I was a child. I studied Shangshu and Sanzhuan under the guidance of Qiao Zhou, a native of Scout County. I am proficient in historical records and hanshu. Representative works include: The History of the Three Kingdoms, The History of Ancient Countries and The Old Biography of Yidu. His teacher, Qiao Zhou, commented on him like this: the Young Women's Christian Association is famous for its talents. He was not unlucky when he was damaged, so he should be careful.

Chen Shouxiang

When Chen Shou was in office, he served as chief bookkeeper of General Wei, secretary of Dongguan, director of the museum and assistant minister of Huangmen. When he was in power, many people fawned on Huang Hao, but Chen Shou didn't like their company, so he was demoted. From then on, the dynasty perished, and Jin Zhanghua appreciated his talent, so he recommended Chen Shou, and Chen Shou became an official.

In the first year of AD, in AD 280, the State of Wu was destroyed by the State of Jin. At this point, the division is over. Chen Shou spent ten years of energy and went through hardships to complete the masterpiece "The History of the Three Kingdoms", with 65 volumes and 367,000 words. It completely narrates the whole picture of China from division to unification at the end of Han Dynasty and the beginning of Jin Dynasty, and compares it with Historical Records in 0755. The strategy and wisdom embodied in his book Hanshu are widely used in politics, economy, military and other fields by modern people.

Chen Shouyin was praised by many people from 0755 to 79000, but because of this, he was hated by the powerful people at that time, and was repeatedly relegated in his later years, and he was always depressed.

In 297 AD, in the seventh year of Yuankang, Chen Shou died of illness at the age of 65. After his death, Liangzhou Dazheng, Shang and others thought that Chen Shou's Book of the Later Han Dynasty contained a lot of exhortations, which not only expounded the gains and losses of predecessors, but also made great contributions to the education of contemporary people. Although writing is not as good as others, it is simple and realistic, so I implore Hui Di to adopt it. So he ordered Henan Yin and Luoyang Ling to send people to Chen Shou's house to copy his books.

Who is the father of historian Chen Shou?

Who is Chen Shou's father? We don't know the identity of the historian who wrote the history of the Three Kingdoms. Let future generations be in the rain and fog.

Portrait of Chen Shou

First, the Book of Jin records that Chen Shou's father joined the army and was killed. Chen Shou's father was implicated in the fall of the street pavilion and was given a high punishment. The so-called severe punishment refers to shaving the hair and beard of the prisoner, and severe punishment is a punishment for offenders in the form of personal insult. The ancients believed that parents' skin was not good enough to be destroyed, and filial piety began! So this kind of punishment is a great insult to people. After that, Chen Shoufu returned to China, and a few years later, Chen Shousheng. According to the time calculation, Chen Shoufu should be no different from Ma Su in those days. If so, Chen Shoufu's deeds are certainly not many, and there is no need to go down in history, so Chen Shoucai did not mention his father in the History of the Three Kingdoms.

Second, Chen Shou's father is a trainer in Runan. According to some data, Chen died in 230 AD, and Chen Shou was born in 233 AD, that is, the eleventh year of Lite. Judging from the time, this statement is nonsense.

Besides Chen Dao, some people think that Chen Shou's father is Chen Shi, a general of Shu Han. However, there is nothing in the history books.

Therefore, we can't tell who Chen Shou's father is, and we need time to continue exploring.

How does Chen Shou evaluate Cao Cao?

Speaking of Cao Cao, many people will say that Cao Cao is a "Han thief" and his image is also a white-faced traitor in Chinese opera. But I know.

There is a saying in the History of the Three Kingdoms: "Cao Cao is resourceful. He not only eliminated the separatist forces, but also used some strategies to govern the country, making good use of the sages' strategies and not paying much attention to the old enemies. This person is not an ordinary person, but an outstanding talent who transcends the world. " Because Chen Shou was a vassal and later became an official in the Western Jin Dynasty, his book The History of the Three Kingdoms was set in Wei, so it is common sense to praise Cao Cao.

So, how did Chen Shou evaluate Cao Cao?

First of all, Chen Shou affirmed that the end of Cao Cao's separatist regime and the unification of the northern Central Plains and Yanzhou were inseparable from Cao Cao's extraordinary military talents. At this point, we can see that Chen Shou positively affirmed Cao Cao at this point.

Secondly, Chen Shou thinks that Cao Cao is an "outstanding talent beyond ordinary people", which may be related to his military ability and ability to govern the country, which is equivalent to giving Cao Cao a high evaluation.

Finally, in the "Three Kingdoms", I wrote a sentence like this: "Gou Jian's talent is outstanding, which makes people stand out." There are two versions of this sentence now: one is to affirm Cao Cao's bravery and intelligence, which is a compliment; The other is to compare him with Gou Jian, which seems derogatory from Gou Jian's point of view.
