秦王既没,余威震于殊俗(43)。然而陈涉(44),甕牖绳枢之子(45),甿隶之人(46),而迁徙之徙(47),才能不及中人,非有仲尼、墨翟之贤(48),陶朱、猗顿之富(49);蹑足行伍之间(50),而崛起什伯之中(51),率罢散之卒(52),将数百之众,而转攻秦。斩木为兵,揭竿为旗,天下云集响应,赢粮而景从(53),山东豪俊遂并起而亡秦族矣。

 

For a while after the death of the First Emperor the memoryof his might continued to awe the common people. Yet Chen She, born in a humblehut with tiny windows and a wattle door, a day labourer in the fields and agarrison conscript, whose abilities could not match even the average, who hadneither the worth of Confucius and Mo Di nor the wealth of Tao Zhu or Yi Dun,stepped from the ranks of the common soldiers, rose up from the paths of thefields, and led a band of some hundred poor, weary soldiers in revolt againstQin. They cut down trees to make their weapons and raised their flags on gardenpoles, and the whole world gathered like a cloud, answered like an echo to asound, brought them provisions, and followed after them as shadows follow a form.In the end the leaders east of the mountains rose up together and destroyed thehouse of Qin.
