Profile
Chen Shu, courtesy name Shenbo, was a man of Hanzhong. The Records give him no biography of his own; in Chen Shou's main text he appears once, after the account of Li Zhuan in Records of Shu 12, the Biographies of Du, Zhou, Du, Xu, Meng, Lai, Yin, Li, Qiao and Xi. He too was widely learned and well informed, wrote the Shiwen (Explaining Questions) in seven chapters as well as the Biographies of the Elders of Yi Province and the Treatise on the Elders of Yi Province, and in office served in turn as Administrator of three commanderies. Records, Shu 12 §49
Chen Shou's main text does not record the names of the three commanderies he governed or the years of his birth and death, and the assessment in Records of Shu 12 does not take him up either. He does not appear in the Romance. Records, Shu 12 §49 · 102
In the Records
Records of Shu 12, after finishing its account of Li Zhuan of Fu County in Zitong Commandery, adds Chen Shu, saying that at that time there was also Chen Shu of Hanzhong. When the Later Sovereign (Liu Shan) established the crown prince in the 1st year of Yanxi (238), Li Zhuan became Cadet of the Crown Prince and attended the crown prince, and he died in the Jingyao era. Records, Shu 12 §46–49
Chen Shu's courtesy name was Shenbo; he too was widely learned and well informed, and wrote the Shiwen (Explaining Questions) in seven chapters, the Biographies of the Elders of Yi Province and the Treatise on the Elders of Yi Province. In office he served in turn as Administrator of three commanderies, but Chen Shou's main text does not record which three commanderies they were or any other events of his life. Records, Shu 12 §49
In his assessment in Records of Shu 12, Chen Shou discussed only Du Wei, Zhou Qun, Du Qiong, Xu Ci, Meng Guang, Lai Min, Li Zhuan, Yin Mo, Qiao Zhou and Xi Zheng, and did not take up Chen Shu. Records, Shu 12 §102
