A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Ch'ên Shou
245 Ch'ên Shou 陳壽 (T. 承祚) A.D. 233-297. A native of Ssŭch'uan, who after studying under Ch'iao Chou took service under the Minor Han dynasty, and alone ventured to oppose the all-powerful eunuch Huang Hao. He brought himself into notice by collecting the public papers of Chu-ko Liang, and was employed under the Chin dynasty to edit the History of the Three Kingdoms, which was much admired. His biographies of Chin men, however, are marked by personal bias. He became a Censor, but retired at the death of his mother, chiefly on account of the opposition of his rival Hsün Hsü; and later he refused to take up a post of Instructor to the Heir Apparent. He also wrote the 故國志 History of Ancient States and a biographical work on Ssŭch'uan worthies, entitled 益都耆舊傳.
