Five Heroes of Three Kingdoms

In the beginning, talk about the Three Kingdoms.

The stories of the Three Kingdoms have been concerned and studied by historians and scholars from all dynasties and even the present. I am an unknown person, so why repeat it here? I think it is necessary. Because of the particularity of this period of history and the key link between the past and the future, its intrigues, falsehoods and realities, and the emergence of heroes created by the situation at that time, people have to watch it again and taste it again. When I first came into contact with the Three Kingdoms at the age of eight, I first read classical Chinese novels, and later I read official history and famous commentaries. ) to start reverie, that is the most interesting time. So I think--

This will be a lifetime of research and sharing.

Why do we say "Three Kingdoms" here? Let me explain. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of the four great masterpieces, is a masterpiece of Chinese history and literature. However, if you study this period of history, please discard this work of literature. Because Teacher Luo Guanzhong will lead you astray.

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is seven points real and three points false. You have to recognize one problem - it is a novel, not a history book. It is different from classics such as "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", "Historical Records", and "Three Kingdoms". You can understand it as a kind of romance that is a penetrating expression of the classic "Three Kingdoms". I have never belittled "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Because it is a literary masterpiece and the first chapter novel in our country, its influence is huge and endless. But as a researcher of history, I just appeal not to read it as official history. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been circulated for a long time and widely, and almost everyone knows it, and the stories in it are even more popular. The popularity of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" made people know the existence of historical books such as "Records of the Three Kingdoms", and "Records of the Three Kingdoms" is the blueprint for the creation of the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". They accomplish each other.

Teacher Luo's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is finished, let's talk about Mr. Chen Shou and Mr. Chen. Teacher Chen was a historian of the Shu Han and Western Jin Dynasties during the Three Kingdoms period, and his teacher was called Qiao Zhou. You may not know who Qiao Zhou is, but you should always know who Liu Chan (A Dou) is. And Liu Chan's final surrender to Wei and death in Shu was probably "bewitched" by this teacher Qiao. I put quotation marks here to show that I am not belittling Mr. Qiao. I will talk about the reason for it later. The book written by Chen Shou was originally "written privately", and he wrote it too simply. For example, some battles and some dialogues, in his pen, end with a few sentences. This has left many difficulties for future generations' reference and research. As a result, Pei Songzhi, a Song Dynasty native in the Southern Dynasties, searched extensively for materials and cited many sources to supplement the gaps in his text, and added some annotations and annotations, which was really hard work.

The Western Jin Dynasty was the era after the unification of the Three Kingdoms, and it was connected to the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms. Compared with Luo Guanzhong, Chen Shou is certainly a person who is closer to (it can be said to be in) this period of history, and the words he recorded are very valuable for reference. Therefore, "Three Kingdoms" is one of the most important historical documents for studying the history of the Three Kingdoms. In addition, classics such as "Historical Records", "Hanshu", "Later Hanshu", "Zizhi Tongjian" and even "Huayang Guozhi" are also very valuable for reference.

In a word, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a novel, you can enjoy it; "Three Kingdoms" is a history book, you can conduct in-depth textual research and research.

In order to let everyone better understand or relive this period of history again, it is impossible for you to read "Three Kingdoms" thoroughly, it is too boring. I have prepared a special topic called "Three Kingdoms and Five Heroes", which mainly writes about the five most important characters: Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi. These five people run through the history of the Three Kingdoms for about a hundred years, and they connected its context. By telling their stories in detail, you can basically grasp the direction of this period of history and understand the relationship between them and the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu. Does anyone say other people are not important? Xun Yu, Pang Tong, Ma Chao, Xu Chu, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, are they not important? —Important, but not critical. The above-mentioned five are key figures, and their behavior and speech influence their respective countries, or it can be said that they influence the progress of this great era. So I will elaborate on these five characters.

In serialization—the chapters may be relatively detailed, and the examples cited are mainly from "Three Kingdoms", and the rest are basically vernacular descriptions. Try to limit the number of words in each article to about 2,500 words, because the article is limited to this number of words, and everyone will not be so tired to read, and can understand and roughly remember. Figures in the text will explain the source.

If there is any inappropriateness in the content and text of the article or any mistakes in research, please point it out, communicate and learn from each other.
