《汉书·传·张耳陈馀传》
陈县的豪杰劝陈涉道： 将军你身披坚甲，手持利刃，统率军队讨伐暴秦，重建了楚国的社稷，功德无量，应当立为楚王。 
陈豪桀说涉曰： 将军被坚执锐，帅士卒以诛暴秦，复立楚社稷，功德宜为王。 
The heroes of Chen County advised Chen Sheng: General, you wear strong armor, hold a sharp blade, lead the army to attack the暴秦, and rebuild the社稷of the State of Chu. Your merits are immeasurable, and you should be established as the King of Chu.
