From Sima Qian's "Chen Shi Family" in the Western Han Dynasty

Excerpt from "Historical Records", excerpt from the original text:

Chen Sheng, Wu Guang.

Happy, thinking of ghosts, said: "This teaches me to be the first to threaten the ears of the people." Naidan Shubo said "Chen Shengwang", put it in the belly of the fish. The pawn buys fish to cook, and gets the book in the belly of the fish, which is strange. In the ancestral hall next to Wu Guangzhi, there was a bonfire at night.

The fox shouted: "Da Chuxing, King Chen Sheng." "The pawns are terrified at night. On the day, stroke is often spoken, and it all refers to Chen Sheng.

Translation: Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were very happy, and they considered the matter of divining ghosts, and said, "This is just to teach us to use ghosts and gods to intimidate everyone." So I used dansha.

Write the words "Chen Shengwang" on the silk and put it in the belly of the fish that someone else caught. The soldiers came back to cook the fish, and found the silk book in the belly of the fish, which was already strange to them.

Chen Sheng secretly sent Wu Guang to the temple in the jungle next to the station, and at night he carried a lantern and shouted in a terrible voice like a fox howling: "Great Chu will prosper, and Chen Sheng is king." "The soldiers were terrified all night.

The next day, the soldiers were talking everywhere, just pointing and pointing at each other, looking at Chen Sheng with a gesture.

There is often a distinction between modern and ancient meanings:

The meaning of this meaning is: often.

The ancient meaning is: everywhere.

The ancient meaning of the word "often: everywhere and today: often."

This phrase means "soldiers everywhere discuss".

The soldiers talked everywhere. We just taught.

Except for imaginary words such as 'zhi, hu, who, also, and, in, to, and their', the others are basically all real words.

Put it in the belly of a fish caught by someone else.

Naidan Shubo said "Chen Shengwang", put it in the belly of the fish.

This sentence comes from "Chen Shijia" in "Historical Records".

The whole sentence is translated as: So he wrote "Chen Shengwang" on the silk strip with cinnabar and put it into the stomach of a fish caught by others.

Verbatim translation: Nai: So, just. Dan: The original meaning is cinnabar, and here the noun is used as a verb, which means "to use cinnabar".

Book: The noun is used as a verb, which means "to write". Silk: silk, silk. 王 (wang pronunciation 4th tone): to be king.

Place: Put. 罾: The original meaning is fishing nets, and here the noun is used as a verb, "to catch with a net".

The translation of the sentence is to put it in the belly of the fish that someone else bought. So it is so, it has no practical meaning, you can just write it down without translation.

Are you asking: (Naidan Shubo said "Chen Shengwang",) put people in the belly of the fish. "Chen Shi Family".
