Idiom story

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were arrested as soldiers, but heavy rain delayed their journey, so they had to revolt. Before the rebellion, Chen Sheng asked the fortune teller to do a divination. He wrote "King Chen Sheng" in white silk and stuffed it into the belly of a fish. In the middle of the night, he covered a bonfire with a bamboo cage in an ancient temple and called it "King Chen Sheng" like a fox to build momentum for the uprising.
