Tips

history
Written in 200, before the Battle of Guandu (官渡之战), it denounces 曹操's crimes and mocks his descent from a palace eunuch. After 袁绍's defeat, Cao Cao asked 陈琳 why he had insulted his ancestors; Chen Lin replied that an arrow on the bowstring has to fly, the origin of 箭在弦上. Cao Cao pardoned him and took him into his service.
mistakes
Read 为 'on behalf of', not wéi: Chen Lin wrote it in Yuan Shao's name. 檄 is a verb here, 'to send a war proclamation to'.
