Excerpts from Reading Notes of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

From the reading notes of Romance of the Three Kingdoms:

Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of China's classical Four Great Classical Novels, is China's first chapter-by-chapter historical romance novel. Its full name is Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms (also known as Romance of the Three Kingdoms), written by Luo Guanzhong, a famous novelist in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. This paper describes the historical situation from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty 105, mainly describing the war, reflecting the story of the warlord scuffle at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the political and military struggle among Wei, Shu and Wu countries, and finally Sima Yan unified the three countries and established the Jin Dynasty. It reflects the transformation of various social struggles and contradictions during the Three Kingdoms period, summarizes the historical changes of this era, and shapes a group of heroes of the Three Kingdoms. The book can be roughly divided into five parts: the Yellow turban insurrectionary, the Dong Zhuo insurrectionary, the competing among the heroes, the tripartite confrontation among the three countries, and the return of the three countries to Jin. On a broad background, a magnificent war scene was staged. Luo Guanzhong, the editor, integrated the thirty-six strategies of Sun Tzu's Art of War between the lines, including both the plot and the strategy of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
