大泽乡起义 / Dazexiang Uprising

大泽乡起义 / Dazexiang Uprising enters the wiki through Qinji 128-2 as the first major anti-Qin rupture after 胡亥 / 秦二世’s accession. The source places it in Qin Er Shi’s first year, 209 BCE, after harsher law, revived construction, capital-guard mobilization, and commandery supply burdens have already intensified public misery.

In the source’s direct-cause account, 陈胜 and 吴广 are among nine hundred conscripted soldiers traveling toward Yuyang when heavy rain at Dazexiang makes the arrival deadline impossible. Because the source presents Qin law as executing late arrivals regardless of reason, the force is caught between death by compliance and death by flight. The event therefore becomes the main case for 误期死局式起义触发.

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang first kill the officers commanding the unit, then turn shared danger into collective action. The source stresses that the uprising also needs a believable story: it invokes 扶苏 and 项燕 as still-living symbols and uses fish-belly writing plus fox-cry rumor to create 起义天命制造.

Qinji 128-3 extends the event from outbreak into expansion and regime formation. The rebels take Dazexiang and Qixian, gather more troops while capturing nearby counties, and enter Chen County with chariots, cavalry, and tens of thousands of infantry. The uprising therefore becomes the platform for a strategic choice between 六国复国式反秦策略 and Chen Sheng’s direct creation of 张楚政权.

Qinji 128-5 follows the uprising into two divergent outcomes. On the Qin front, 周文’s fast approach to 咸阳 fails against 章邯 and 都城防卫动员. On the rebel front, 武臣 becomes Zhao king and chooses expansion over coordinated western attack, turning the uprising’s success into 反秦阵营诸侯化分裂.

Qinji 128-7 shows the uprising’s diffusion into local decisions outside Chen Sheng’s direct command. In 沛县, the magistrate considers responding by recalling 刘邦’s fugitive group; in 会稽郡, 殷通 tries to use the wave to raise troops before 项梁 and 项羽 preempt him. The Dazexiang event is therefore now the trigger not only for Zhang Chu expansion and Zhao fragmentation, but also for Liu Bang’s 沛县起义动员 and the Xiang family’s 会稽郡守府夺权.

Qinji 129-1 shows the uprising’s first center losing coherence while its outer effects continue. 刘邦 wins around Huling and Xue, but 周文 / 周章 dies after repeated defeat by 章邯, and 吴广 is killed by 田臧 after the failed 荥阳 siege. The uprising branch therefore now includes both diffusion and central command breakdown.

Qinji 129-3 adds the retrospective split in the uprising’s meaning. 陈胜 dies after 起义首领人心疏离, 苛察忠诚陷阱, and 章邯’s pressure combine against him, but 吕臣 still avenges and reburies him, and 刘邦 later maintains his tomb rites. The uprising’s initiating role therefore outlives the collapse of Chen Sheng’s personal rule.
