Three families of the dead(wáng qín sān hù)

Although there are three families in Chu, the death of Qin will lead to Chu

The synonym Suqin Sanhu generally refers to the origin of the idiom "Suqin Sanhu". This is a famous saying of the Qin Dynasty against the unification of the Qin Dynasty. It comes from Sima Qian's historical records Xiang Yu's biography in the Western Han Dynasty. It means that even if there are only three clans left in the state of Chu, the state of Qin can be destroyed. Metaphor even if weak, unity can succeed. It represents an emotional conviction. The royal family of Chu has the surname MI, and its family name is Xiong. It can be divided into three families: Zhao (Zhaoyang), Qu (Quyuan) and Jing (jingcha). It is not that later generations only refer to a few families or people.

Explanation of words

Qin: the state of Qin. Although: even if. Sanhu: refers to the three clans of Chu, Qu, Jing and Zhao. Perish: perish, perish. The full text means to rise up to overthrow the dark rule without fear of violence. Even if there were only three clans left in the state of Chu, Qu, Jing and Zhao, they would surely destroy the state of Qin. (source) in the Western Han Dynasty, Sima Qian's historical records, Xiang Yu's biography: "therefore, Duke Nangong of Chu said:" although Chu has three families, the death of Qin must be Chu. " How long has the dream of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties lasted? The preface of Liu Yazi's Ode to Ji'nan massacre commemoration day [usage] is used as the object and attribute; it is used in written language and the source of the idiom "Sanhu died of Qin Dynasty".

Historical allusions

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, and all kinds of volunteers cooperated one after another, Xiang Liang led the army to attack Qin. Fan Zeng went to visit Xiang Liang and said, "when Qin destroyed the six states, Chu was the most unjust.". Nangong of the state of Chu said that even if there were only three clans left in the state of Chu, they would take revenge and unite to destroy the state of Qin. " So Xiang Liang established Xiong Xin, the grandson of King Huai of Chu, as king Huai of Chu, which gained the support of the people and rapidly strengthened his strength. Although there are three families in Chu, the death of Qin will lead to Chu. Since King Huai entered the Qin Dynasty, he has been pitied by the people of Chu. Therefore, Duke Nan of Chu said, "although there are three families in Chu, they will die in the Qin Dynasty."

Analysis of famous sentences

As a matter of fact, this famous saying, which originated from the resistance to the rule of Qin Dynasty, not only represents an emotional firm belief, but also inconceivably coincides with the process of historical evolution. According to the records of the historian, Xiang Yu's biography, as early as when King Huai of Chu died in Qin Dynasty, Nangong of Chu said: "although there are three families in Chu, they will die in Qin Dynasty.". It foretold the true meaning of the death of Qin a priori and extremely correctly, that is, the cause of the death of Qin began in Chu, and finally became in Chu.

Three disputes

There are three kinds of explanations in the academic circle. There are three kinds of explanations in the academic circle: "although there are three families in the state of Chu, they will die in the Qin Dynasty." the first kind of explanation: it refers to the place name, which is located in the old city of the Danjiangkou Reservoir in Xichuan County. Historically, there are three families in the state of Chu and the ancient Danyang City. It is the site of the founding of the state of Chu and the ancestral temple of Chu. the second view: refers to the three surnames of Chu state, Qu, Jing and Zhao. the third way of saying: it refers to three families, small power and great determination. Qian Mu's research on Qu Yuan's living in the north of Han Dynasty as a doctor of Sanlu has the following discussion: the Duke of Southern Chu said: "although there are three families in Chu, they will die in Qin Dynasty.". Wei Zhao thought that "three families, Chu three surnames Qu Jingzhao also", this is the most. In the spring and Autumn period, the clans of various countries can be found in Zuo Shi neiwaizhuan, such as Sanhuan in Lu, Qimu in Zheng, eight clans in Dai Huan in song, eight surnames in Jin, eleven clans in Jin, six clans in Yin and six clans in Jin, seven clans in Huai, eight surnames in Zhu Rong and eight surnames in Zheng. There are also three families in Chu. Su Lin said: "but there are three families here, and their resentment is deep enough to kill Qin." Chen Zan said: "Chu people resent Qin, although three families are enough to kill Qin." It's not true that we all want the interpretation of the text. Gainan said that although there were only three families in Chu, it was enough to destroy Qin Dynasty. After that, Chen and Wu were in trouble, and chaos arose everywhere. Other than chuhuai, such as Wei Bao, Zhao Xie, Han Cheng and Tian Shi, all of them belong to the old clan of the old country. Most of the other generals were from the famous ethnic groups in the past. Although there is no seed for the generals, the rise of the common people and the death of the country are the reasons for the establishment of the situation at that time. Although Chen Ying's mother, also know suddenly expensive ominous, want to rely on family name. Kuang Nan Gong was a long time before the rebellion. He did not take the responsibility of rejuvenating the country and taking revenge. It was clear who he expected and who the three families were. But Sima Zhen's Suoyin only said that all the theories were not true. According to Zuo's writing, he gave Chushi to Sanhu, because Sanhu was a place name. Meng kangsui said that Xiang Yuguo's passing through sanhujin and breaking Zhanghan was the good prophecy of Nangong. Wusanhu is the place name. It was originally from Chu to Danyang and became famous for its three nationalities. The words of Nangong should not be interpreted by place names at the beginning. Therefore, Su Lin Chen Zan's Suoyin has its own interpretation, Meng Kang has the furthest loss, and Wei Zhao has his own.
