2.126

Yu Rang lacquered his body (the Shiji says: Yu Rang was a man of Jin; he first served the Fan and Zhonghang clans, and later served Earl Zhi. Viscount Xiang of Zhao killed Earl Zhi; Rang wished to take revenge, so he lacquered his body to cause sores and swallowed hot charcoal to render himself mute; after failing to assassinate him five times, he later died leaning upon his sword).
