陳胡公滿者，虞帝舜之後也。昔舜為庶人時，堯妻之二女，居于媯汭，其後因為氏姓，姓媯氏。舜已崩，傳禹天下，而舜子商均為封國。夏后之時，或失或續。至于周武王克殷紂，乃復求舜後，得媯滿，封之於陳，以奉帝舜祀，是為胡公。 |
| | Chen Hugong Man was a descendant of Emperor Shun of Yu. In the past, when Shun was an ordinary person, Yao married him to his two daughters. They lived in Gui Rui, and their descendants later took this as their clan name, adopting the surname Gui. After Shun died, Yu inherited the empire from him, and Shun's son Shangjun was enfeoffed as a feudal lord. During the time of the Xia Hou dynasty, their lineage was sometimes lost and at other times continued. When King Wu of Zhou defeated the Yin 纣, he sought out descendants of Shun and found Gui Man. He enfeoffed him in Chen to uphold the ancestral rites for Emperor Shun; this was Hugong.

Huangong's younger brother Tuo, whose mother was a woman from Cai, was supported by the people of Cai who killed Wu Fu and Huangong's crown prince Mian in order to install Tuo as ruler; this was Lai Gong. During Huangong's illness, chaos arose and the people scattered, so they had to return twice.

厲公二年，生子敬仲完。周太史過陳，陳厲公使以《》筮之，卦得觀之否：「是為觀國之光，利用賓于王。此其代陳有國乎？不在此，其在異國？非此其身，在其子孫。若在異國，必姜姓。姜姓，太嶽之後。物莫能兩大，陳衰，此其昌乎？」 |
| | In the second year of Lai Gong's reign, his son Jingzhong Wan was born. The Grand Historian of the Zhou dynasty passed through Chen, and Duke Lai of Chen had him divinate using the Yijing. The hexagram obtained was Guan turning into Pi: "This is 'Observing the Light of a Nation,' which is auspicious for serving as an official in the king's court." Will this mean that he will succeed Chen and possess its state? Not here, but in a foreign land? It will not be him himself, but his descendants. If it is in a foreign land, it must be the Jiang surname. The Jiang surname is descended from Taiyue. Nothing can have two great powers; as Chen declines, will this one flourish?"

| | Lai Gong took a woman from Cai. The woman from Cai and the people of Cai conspired together, and Lai Gong frequently went to Cai for immoral conduct. In the seventh year, Lai Gong was killed by three younger brothers of Huangong's crown prince Mian: the eldest named Yue, the middle named Lin, and the youngest named Chujiu. They conspired with the people of Cai to lure Lai Gong with beautiful women and then, together with the Cai people, killed him and installed Yue as ruler; this was Ligong. Ligong was a son of Huangong. Five months after Ligong ascended the throne, he died and his middle brother Lin succeeded as ruler; this was Zhuanggong. Zhuanggong died in the seventh year of his reign, and his younger brother Chujiu succeeded as ruler; this was Xuangong.

| | In the twenty-first year, Xuangong's concubine who was favored gave birth to a son named Kuan. He wanted to make him heir and thus killed his crown prince Yukou. Yukou had always loved Lai Gong's son Wan, who feared that the disaster would reach him and so fled to Qi. Duke Huang of Qi wanted to appoint Chen Wan as an official, but Wan said: "A wandering subject is fortunate enough to be spared from carrying burdens on his back; this is the grace of your lordship. I dare not accept a high position." Duke Huang appointed him as head of the artisans. Yizhong of Qi wished to marry his daughter to Jingzhong Chen and divined it. The omen said: "This is called 'The phoenix in flight, its harmonious cries resound.'" A descendant of Gui will be nurtured by the Jiang clan. After five generations, it shall flourish and reach the rank of chief minister. "After eight generations, none will surpass it."

| | In the thirty-seventh year, Duke Huang of Qi attacked Cai and defeated them; He invaded southern lands to attack Chu, reaching Zhao Ling, then returned, passing through Chen. Chen's official Yuan Taotu disliked the passage of their forces through Chen and deceived Qi into taking an eastern route.

| | In the fourteenth year, Linggong and his officials Kong Ning and Yixingfu all had affairs with Xia Ji. They wore her clothes to play games in court. Die Ya advised, "If the ruler and officials indulge in licentiousness, what will the people imitate?" Linggong told the two men about this, and they requested to kill Die Ya. The ruler did not forbid it, so they killed Die Ya. In the fifteenth year, Linggong dined with the two men at Xia's residence. 略 The ruler joked to the two men and said, "Zhengshu looks like you." The two men replied, "He also resembles you." Zhengshu became angry. After Linggong left the banquet, Zhengshu ambushed him at the stable gate with a crossbow and shot him to death. Kong Ning and Yixingfu both fled to Chu, while Linggong's crown prince Wu fled to Jin. Zhengshu declared himself ruler of Chen. Zhengshu was a former official of Chen. Xia Ji was the wife of Yushu and the mother of Shu.

成公元年冬，楚莊王為夏徵舒殺靈公，率諸侯伐陳。謂陳曰：「無驚，吾誅徵舒而已。」已誅徵舒，因縣陳而有之，群臣畢賀。申叔時使於齊來還，獨不賀。莊王問其故，對曰：「鄙語有之，牽牛徑人田，田主奪之牛。徑則有罪矣，奪之牛，不亦甚乎？今王以徵舒為賊弒君，故徵兵諸侯，以義伐之，已而取之，以利其地，則後何以令於天下！是以不賀。」莊王曰：「善。」乃迎陳靈公太子午於晉而立之，復君陳如故，是為成公。孔子讀史記至楚復陳，曰：「賢哉楚莊王！輕千乘之國而重一言。」 |
| | In the first winter of Chenggong's reign, King Zhuangwang of Chu, avenging Linggong for Xia Zhengshu, led feudal lords to attack Chen. He told the people of Chen: "Do not be alarmed; I am only punishing Zhengshu." After killing Zhengshu, he annexed Chen and made it a commandery, and all his officials congratulated him. Shen Shushi had been on a mission to Qi and was returning when he alone did not offer congratulations. King Zhuang asked the reason, and he replied: "There is a saying among common people: if one leads an ox through another's field, the owner of the field may seize the ox. Passing through the field is indeed a fault, but to seize the ox—was this not excessive?" Now, Your Majesty declared Zhengshu a traitor who killed his lord and summoned feudal lords to punish him in the name of righteousness. Yet after doing so, you have annexed it for its territory—how then can you command the world?!" This is why I did not offer congratulations." King Zhuang said, "Well spoken." He then welcomed from Jin the crown prince Wu of Duke Ling and installed him as ruler, restoring Chen to its former state; this was Chenggong. When Confucius read the historical records about Chu's restoration of Chen, he said: "How virtuous was King Zhuang of Chu! He valued a single word more than a state with a thousand chariots."

| | In the thirty-fourth year, originally, Aigong married a woman from Zheng. His elder concubine bore Crown Prince Dao Shi, and his younger concubine bore Yan. Two favored concubines also gave birth: the elder one bore Liu, and the younger one bore Sheng. Liu was especially favored by Aigong, who entrusted him to his brother Situ Zhao. When Aigong fell ill, in the third month, Zhao killed Crown Prince Dao and installed Liu as crown prince. Aigong was furious and wanted to execute Zhao; in response, Zhao raised troops to surround and guard Aigong. Aigong then committed suicide by hanging. Zhao eventually installed Liu as ruler of Chen. In the fourth month, Chen sent envoys to Chu. King Ling of Chu heard about the turmoil in Chen and had Chen's envoys executed. He then ordered Gongzi Qiji to raise troops and attack Chen, causing Chen ruler Liu to flee to Zheng. In the ninth month, Chu besieged Chen. In the eleventh month, Chen was destroyed. He appointed Qiji as Gong of Chen.

招之殺悼太子也，太子之子名吳，出奔晉。晉平公問太史趙曰：「陳遂亡乎？」對曰：「陳，顓頊之族。陳氏得政於齊，乃卒亡。自幕至于瞽瞍，無違命。舜重之以明德。至於遂，世世守之。及胡公，周賜之姓，使祀虞帝。且盛德之後，必百世祀。虞之世未也，其在齊乎？」 |
| | When Zhao killed Crown Prince Dao, the prince's son named Wu fled to Jin. Jin Pinggong asked Taishi Zhao, "Will Chen finally perish?" He replied, "Chen is a clan of Zhuanxu. The Chen clan gained power in Qi but ultimately perished." From Mu to Gusu, there was no violation of the mandate. Shun elevated him with a clear virtue. Down to Sui, the descendants preserved it generation after generation. When Hugong came into power, the Zhou dynasty bestowed a surname upon him and ordered that sacrifices be made to Emperor Shun of Yu. Moreover, descendants of those with great virtue are surely honored for a hundred generations." "The dynasty of Yu has not yet ended; perhaps it will continue in Qi?"

The Teng ruler wanted to go, but a court official said, "Wu has just gained power; although the King of Chu is gone, he had old ties with Chen. We cannot betray him." Huaigong thus declined on grounds of illness. In the fourth year, Wu again summoned Huaigong. Huaigong was afraid and went to Wu. Wu was angry that he had not come before, detained him, and Huaigong eventually died in Wu. Chen then installed Yue, the son of Huaigong, as ruler; this was Min Gong.

In this year, King Zhao of Chu died in Chengfu. At that time, Confucius was in Chen. In the fifteenth year, Song destroyed Cao.

The descendants of Yu were enfeoffed at Qi by King Wu of Zhou; their state was later destroyed by King Huai of Chu and also had a separate genealogical account. The descendants of Qie became the Yin dynasty, which has its own chronological record (Benji). After the fall of Yin, Zhou enfeoffed their descendants at Song; it was later destroyed by King Min of Qi and also has a separate genealogical record (Shijia). The descendants of Houji became the Zhou dynasty; it was destroyed by King Zhao of Qin and has its own chronological account (Benji). The descendants of Gao Yao were sometimes enfeoffed in Ying and Liu; they were destroyed by King Mu of Chu, but no genealogical records remain. The descendants of Boyi were later enfeoffed at Qi during the reign of King Wu of Zhou, known as Tai Gong Wang; they were destroyed by the Teng clan and have a separate genealogical record (shijia). The descendants of Boyi, during the reign of King Ping of Zhou, were enfeoffed as Qin; they were destroyed by Xiang Yu and have their own chronological record (benji). Chui, Yi, Kui, and Long—nothing is known about where their descendants were enfeoffed; they are not recorded. These eleven men above were all famous ministers of virtue and merit during the transition between Tang and Yu. The descendants of five among them became emperors or kings, while the rest became prominent feudal lords. Teng, Xue, and Zou were small fiefdoms enfeoffed between the Xia, Yin, and Zhou dynasties; they were too insignificant to be listed or discussed.

| | During King Wu of Zhou's time, there were still more than a thousand marquises and feudal lords. After the reigns of Kings You and Li, the feudal lords engaged in wars to conquer one another. States such as Jiang, Huang, Hu, and Shen were too numerous to count; thus, they are not recorded in the annals (Shang) [Yun]. Grand Historian said: The virtue of Shun can truly be called supreme! He abdicated in favor of Xia, and his descendants received ancestral sacrifices through three dynasties. When the State of Chu destroyed Chen, Tian Chang seized power in Qi and eventually founded a state; his descendants continued for generations without interruption. Their posterity flourished, and there were never lacking those who held land. By the time of Yu, during the Zhou dynasty they were enfeoffed in Qi, but their status was very low and not worth mentioning. King Huai of Chu destroyed Qi; after that, King Goujian of Yue rose to prominence.
