Short story summary of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"

"The Romance of Three Kingdoms" is the first chapter-length novel in ancient China and a classic of historical romance novels. The novel describes the contradictions and struggles between the three political and military groups of Wei, Shu, and Wu headed by Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan in the third century AD. In the broad social and historical background, it shows the sharp, complex and distinctive political and military conflicts of that era, which had a profound impact on later generations in terms of political and military strategies. Before the complete book "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" appeared, all kinds of Chinese novels were generally short in length, and some even only had a few dozen words. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is China's first full-length novel. We must pay attention to how Chinese novels develop from short stories to full-length novels. It turns out that storytelling was popular in the Song Dynasty, and storytelling became a profession. Storytellers liked to use stories of ancient figures as themes to stage stories. The numerous characters and events in Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" were the best material for stage stories. Some sporadic fragments of the Three Kingdoms story had originally been circulated among the people. With the storytellers' long-term use of materials, the content became richer and richer, and the characters became more and more full-fledged. Finally, many independent stories were gradually combined into a long masterpiece. These isolated stories were passed down orally in society for a long time, and finally were processed and compiled into a book, becoming China's first novel. This is an amazing collective creation. It is different in form from a novel written by a single author, and deserves our attention. This kind of novel originated from an outstanding author, and later there were the novel "Journey to the West" about gods and demons and another historical novel "Water Margin". The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is believed to have a certain inspiration for later novels. The origin of historical literature, the literary value of this masterpiece itself, and its impact on later generations are all worthy of our in-depth discussion. The story of the Three Kingdoms was quite popular among ancient Chinese people. It was put on the stage in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and more than 30 kinds of Three Kingdoms plays were performed in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties. During the Zhizhi period of the Yuan Dynasty, "Quanxiang Three Kingdoms Zhi Ping Hua" published by the Yu family of Xin'an appeared. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Luo Guanzhong synthesized folk legends, operas and scripts, combined with historical materials from Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" and Pei Songzhi's notes, and based on his personal understanding of social life, he created "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The earliest extant edition is from the Jiajing year of the Ming Dynasty. The printed version is commonly known as the "Jiajing version" and has 24 volumes. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Mao Lun and Mao Zonggang's father and son reviewed the official historical events, added and deleted text, and revised it into the 120-chapter version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that is popular today. Luo Guanzhong lived between 1330 and 1400. His name was Huhai Sanren, and he was a popular novelist in the Ming Dynasty. His birthplace is said to be Taiyuan in present-day Shanxi, and Qiantang in present-day Hangzhou, Zhejiang, but it cannot be confirmed. According to legend, Luo Guanzhong once served as the secret agent of Zhang Shicheng, a peasant uprising army in the late Yuan Dynasty. In addition to "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he also wrote popular novels such as "The Chronicles of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and dramas such as "The Legend of Zhao Taizu, Dragon and Tiger".

The whole book reflects the political and military struggles of the Three Kingdoms era, reflects the infiltration and transformation of various social contradictions in the Three Kingdoms era, summarizes the great historical changes of this era, and creates a group of all-powerful heroes. In terms of grasping the history of the Three Kingdoms, the author showed an obvious tendency to support Liu and oppose Cao. He took the Liu Bei Group as the center of the description, praised the main figures of the Liu Bei Group, and tried his best to expose and criticize Cao Cao. Today we should have a dialectical understanding of the author's tendency to support Liu and oppose Cao. Respecting Liu and rebelling against Cao is the main trend in folklore. In Luo Guanzhong's era, it implied the people's hope for the rejuvenation of the Han nation. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" depicts nearly 200 characters, among which the most successful ones include Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Liu Bei and others. Zhuge Liang is the incarnation of the "virtuous prime minister" in the author's mind. He has the noble character of "devoting his whole life to the end of his life" and his ambition to help the people in modern times and recreate a peaceful and prosperous age. The author also endows him with the magical ability to control the wind and rain and make miraculous calculations. Cao Cao was a treacherous hero. His creed in life was "I would rather teach me to betray the world than teach the world to betray me." He was both talented and strategic, cruel and cunning. He was a political careerist and conspirator. This is different from the real Cao Cao in history. Not to be confused with. Guan Yu is "mighty and resolute" and "righteous as heavy as a mountain". But his loyalty is based on personal grievances, not the great justice of the country and the nation. Liu Bei is portrayed by the author as a model of a benevolent king who loves people and things, values ??virtuous people, and knows people well.

The main characters are Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao and Guan Yu.

Zhuge Liang is an extremely important figure in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He is wisdom personified. It is a household name among the people, and is known to all women and children. There is a saying: "Three cobblers make one Zhuge Liang", which shows his profound influence. Since Zhuge Liang first emerged, he immediately became the core figure in the Shu Han-Liu Bei Group. Liu Bei once said that Zhuge Liang was "like a fish in water". Not only did he obey his words, but he also took care of almost all major military affairs. After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang actually became the top decision-maker of Shu. In order to repay Liu Bei's kindness for visiting the thatched cottage three times, Zhuge Liang truly "dedicated himself to death." Zhuge Liang embodies many statesman's virtues and superhuman wisdom. His resourcefulness is even more popular among people. It's like using troops in Bowangpo and borrowing arrows from thatched boats. Not only that, he can also adapt to changes, such as the use of the "empty city strategy". In short, Zhuge Liang is a figure loved by everyone in China. The whole book "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" through the intricate pre-selection struggles, reveals the political struggles within the palace, between groups, and between different forces of the same group, using power and machine as means, and the military struggle aiming at profit and hegemony. The competition reproduces the turbulent reality of the Three Kingdoms period. The book describes hundreds of wars, large and small, and the description is characterized by focusing on expressing people's subjective initiative and the use of strategies and tactics. The Battle of Chibi is an excellent battle described in the book. In the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang and others correctly analyzed the situation between the enemy and ourselves, and through a series of step-by-step and planned actions such as counter-intentional tactics, serial tactics, and bitter flesh tactics, they fully utilized their own advantages while cleverly And by correctly determining and using fire attack and other tactics, the weak finally defeated the strong enemy. On the other hand, Cao Cao relied on his strong military strength, was arrogant and arrogant, and blindly underestimated the enemy. He made repeated mistakes in decision-making and command, gradually losing his advantage, and ultimately suffered a disastrous defeat. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" also describes the different groups and factions within the feudal ruling class. In order to achieve their own selfish interests, they engaged in intrigues, intrigues, intrigues, and extensive use of strategies and tactics to engage in fierce and complex political and military struggles. This runs through the whole book. In order to take back Jingzhou from Liu Bei, Sun Quan did not hesitate to use his own sister as bait and use the trick of "recruiting relatives" in an attempt to "earn Liu Bei to Nanxu... He was imprisoned in prison secretly, but he sent people to go to Jingzhou to beat Liu Bei." After this plan was discovered, he lied that "Guotai was seriously ill" and deceived Mrs. Sun to take Liu Bei's youngest son Adou back to Soochow in an attempt to exchange Adou as a hostage in Jingzhou. After Guan Yu lost Jingzhou and died, the alliance between Sun and Liu broke down. Sun Quan was afraid that Liu Bei would retaliate, so he sent an envoy to deliver a letter to Cao Cao. Sun Quan flattered Cao Cao in the letter and said: "My minister Sun Quan has known for a long time that the destiny of the king has been returned to the king. As soon as he has ascended the throne, he will send his generals to destroy Liu Bei and sweep away the two rivers. I will lead my troops to accept the land and surrender." Sun Quan had two intentions in persuading Cao Cao to depose the Han Dynasty and proclaim himself emperor. First, it could cause Liu Bei and other forces supporting the Han Dynasty to rally against Cao Cao. ; The second is to divert Liu Bei's attention from Soochow's capture of Jingzhou and the killing of Guan Yu, with very sinister intentions. No wonder Cao Cao said: "Does this kid want to put me on the stove to grill?" But Liu Bei, who conquered the world with benevolence and righteousness, was also very good at strategizing. When Lu Bu was captured by Cao Cao, Cao Cao asked Liu Bei how to deal with it, and Liu Bei helped meditate. Then he reminded Cao Cao: "Have you not seen what happened to Ding Jianyang and Dong Zhuo?" As a result, Lu Bu, who could only be defeated by the combined efforts of Liu, Guan, and Zhang, died immediately. When Cao Cao was having a drink and talking about heroes, he pretended to hear thunder and lose chopsticks to cover up his gaffe, and he actually hid it from Cao Cao, a traitor of a generation. Zhao Zilong fought against Changbanpo and struggled to save his young master Adou, but Liu Bei actually threw Adou to the ground in front of Zhao Zilong. As the folk saying goes: "Liu Bei threw Adou - to win people's hearts." Appreciation and analysis of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not only an earlier novel It is a historical novel and represents the highest achievement of ancient historical novels. The novel uses simple classical Chinese, which is bright and smooth, and is both elegant and popular. The writing style is rich in changes, contrasting, redundant, twists and turns, and swaying. It also uses a magnificent structure to completely and tightly organize the complicated events and numerous characters over the past century or so. The narrative is methodical, echoes back and forth, is related to each other, closely linked, and advances layer by layer. The artistic achievements of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are more important in its description of war and characterization. Novels are best at describing wars and can write out the characteristics of each war. Pay attention to describing the use of different strategies and tactics under specific conditions, and guide the display of subjective initiative in combat, instead of spending the main text on pure strength and martial arts competition. Such as the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Yiling, etc. The writing method of each war also changes with the characteristics of the war. While writing about the war, other activities are also written as the prelude, aftermath, or auxiliary means of the war. , making the tense, intense and thrilling war appear to be tense and relaxed, alternately fast and slow. For example, before the Battle of Chibi, it describes the cooperation between the Sun and Liu families, the conflicts between Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, Cao Cao's temptation, the preparations of the Sun and Liu coalition forces to lure the enemy in, etc. In terms of character creation, the novel pays special attention to putting the characters in the first place. In the sharp contradictions of real struggle, their thoughts and characters are expressed through their words and deeds or the surrounding environment. For example, Cao Cao is treacherous, and every move seems to be hiding a conspiracy; Zhang Fei is outspoken, but also naive and reckless; Zhuge Liang is clever and clever, and he can always deal with things easily and calmly. The famous Guan Yu "warmed the wine and killed Hua Xiong", "passed five passes and killed six generals", Zhang Fei "shocked the Changban Bridge", "Zhao Yun rode alone to save the young master", Zhuge Liang "captured Meng Huo seven times", and "empty city plan to scare" "Retire Sima Yi" and so on are even more widely circulated chapters.

Although "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" takes history as its theme, it is not a history book but a literary work after all. Because it has been artistically processed and contains a lot of fiction. The artistic achievements of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are multifaceted. 1. It successfully created numerous characters. The whole book contains more than 400 people, among whom the main characters are all artistic models with distinctive personalities and vivid images. Various characters have their own characteristics; similar characters have their own personalities. When describing characters, the author is good at grasping the basic characteristics, highlighting a certain aspect, exaggerating it, and using contrast and foil methods to make the character's personality vivid and vivid. This is a basic principle for the author to create characters. The best illustration of the application of this principle in novels is what people have always called the "three virtues", namely Cao Cao's "treacherousness" - being extremely cunning; Guan Yu's "righteousness" - "righteousness is as heavy as a mountain"; Kong Ming's "righteousness is as heavy as a mountain"; "Zhijue" - Extraordinary wit. The main method of depicting characters in novels is to place them in thrilling military and political struggles, and in sharp and complex conflicts. For the main characters, their complex personalities are often expressed through a series of storylines and character language. 2. It is good at describing war. The book covers more than forty wars, major and minor, showing scenes of thrilling war scenes. Among them, the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, and the Battle of Yiling are the most outstanding. The author always focuses on describing the key battles that determined the rise and fall of the Three Kingdoms, and takes the characters as the center to write out all aspects of the war, such as the strategies and tactics of both sides, the balance of forces, the transformation of status, etc., and the writing is rich and colorful. , ever-changing, each with its own characteristics, fully embodies the complexity and diversity of war; it not only depicts the fierceness, tension, and thrills of war without appearing miserable, but generally has a high-spirited style, and some even appear calm and dynamic. There is stillness, tension and relaxation. 3. Its structure is both magnificent and precise. The time lasts for hundreds of years, there are hundreds of characters, the events are complicated, and there are many clues. The description must not only conform to the basic facts, but also pay attention to the coherence of the artistic plot. Therefore, it is very difficult to arrange the structure. However, the author is able to write in an orderly manner, with clear context, each chapter can become an independent chapter, and the whole book is a complete artistic whole. This is mainly due to the author's grand and rigorous conception. He took Shu Han as the center and the contradictions and struggles of the Three Kingdoms as the main line to organize the storyline of the book. It is both tortuous and coherent, with masters and slaves, and masters and slaves working closely together. 4. The language is concise and smooth, as clear as words. Today, this language seems half-literate, but at the time it was close to vernacular; writing novels in this language is a pioneering work, and compared with the rough and complicated language of some novels in the past, it is a Obvious progress. The biggest artistic shortcomings of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are: first, the characters are fixed and lack development and change. This may be due to the influence of stereotypes of folklore characters and the limitations of historical materials. Second, imagination and exaggeration are sometimes unreasonable. Mr. Lu Xun said: "If you want to show Liu Bei's wisdom, it seems fake, and Zhuge's wisdom is almost demonic." This criticism is very pertinent. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is the most accomplished and influential work among ancient historical novels. It has been widely circulated and has endless charm. It has an immeasurable and profound influence in the history of Chinese literature and people's lives. There is also a big gap between the personalities of the characters in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the real personalities of the characters in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Here are a few characters to illustrate. Zhuge Liang: Zhuge Liang's talent in governing the country and the army, his character of helping the world, loving the people, being modest and prudent, set an example for various outstanding historical figures in later generations. Kings, ministers, intellectuals, and the people of all ages have praised him, praised him, and loved him from different perspectives. It can be said that Zhuge Liang's huge influence in history has exceeded his political and military practices in the history of the Three Kingdoms. Although "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" highlights the positive aspects of Zhuge Liang's life character, moral character, achievements, etc., it also exaggerates it infinitely, depicts him as the embodiment of wisdom, the representative of loyalty, and deifies him into a half-human and half-god superman. image. Lu Xun commented: "Zhuge Liang's wisdom is close to that of a demon." Therefore, Zhuge Liang in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not a real historical figure, but a historical novel character. Liu Bei: Chen Shou's evaluation of Liu Bei is: "Hongyi and generosity, understanding and treating people, with the style of the great ancestor, and the weapon of a hero. He entrusted the whole country to Zhuge Liang, but his mind was the same, he was sincere to the emperor and his ministers, and he was prosperous in ancient and modern times. It's the rails. If Wei Wu is not captured by his own power, his base will be narrow." But he "will not give up, and will never give up." In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the author describes Liu Bei as the representative of "benevolence" and the orthodox successor of the Han Dynasty's imperial power. Therefore, he focuses on Liu Bei's character traits of benevolence, generosity, and understanding of others. He is extremely exaggerated, but in highlighting the Although he is "benevolent", he falls into the "incompetent" side, giving people a feeling of "incompetence" and "hypocrisy". Liu Bei in TV dramas often sheds tears. Although crying and crying show Liu Bei's "benevolence", they also give people the impression that Liu Bei's world is made up of tears, distorting Liu Bei's true image as a "hero" and "hero". Guan Yu: Historically, Guan Yu was a tiger general who was "the enemy of ten thousand people". He was proud of his superiors but never regretted his inferiors. He had a clear sense of grudges and was famous for his loyalty. However, he was "strong yet conceited", more than brave but lacking in wisdom. After Ma Chao surrendered to Liu Bei, he was named General Pingxi. At that time, Guan Yu was in charge of Jingzhou, and Zhuge Liang asked Zhuge Liang to "ask him who can compare with super talents." When Zhuge Liang replied, he said that although Ma Chao was a great man, he was not as good as Guan Yu's "unparalleled elite". Show guests". This is a typical character of a military commander who is brave but resourceful. But in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", because he is a member of Liu Bei's camp and has the characteristics of loyalty, he is portrayed as the embodiment of "righteousness".

He followed Liu Bei and did not avoid hardships. Xiapi was captured and surrendered to Cao Cao, but he cared about Liu Bei and felt that Cao Cao treated him well. Therefore, before leaving Cao and returning to Liu, he killed Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang for Cao Cao to break the siege of Baima. However, in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is said that Guan Yu made three appointments when he surrendered at Xia Pi, and that Cao Cao treated him with generous gifts such as a small banquet every three days and a large banquet every five days. This is completely false. In short, in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the author spared no effort to portray Guan Yu as a "man with as much righteousness as a mountain", so his image has been seriously distorted. Cao Cao: Cao Cao's character in history was very complicated. Chen Shou believed that Cao Cao had the best strategy in the history of the Three Kingdoms. He "learned the magic of Shen and Shang, the unique strategies of Han and Bai, and the official materials, each with his own weapon." Let it be reckoned with, and do not think of old evils.” Cao Cao had been guarding the army for more than thirty years, but he never let go of the scrolls. He was good at poetry, cursive calligraphy, and Go. Live a frugal life and don’t wear fancy clothes. Discuss with others and laugh happily. "Any meritorious service should be rewarded, and no amount of gold should be spared; if there is no merit, no reward should be given." He is the first-class politician, military strategist and writer in Chinese history. However, in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", these good aspects of Cao Cao's character and moral character were ignored, while his cruel and cunning side was exaggerated. Therefore, Cao Cao in Luo Guanzhong's works is a typical villain who is cunning, cruel, willful, and suspicious. Zhou Yu: Zhou Yu in history was "magnificent in character", humble and persuasive, and "elegant and noble". Liu Bei called him "a strategist in both civil and military affairs and the hero of ten thousand people." Sun Quan praised him for having "the qualifications of a king's assistant". But in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhou Yu became Zhuge Liang's bottom figure. Writing about Zhou Yu is to promote Zhuge Liang. Therefore, Zhou Yu in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is narrow-minded and always inferior to Zhuge Liang in resourcefulness. He is not at all like the "majestic and heroic" Zhou Yu praised by Su Shi and "a romantic figure through the ages." Lu Su: If in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", although the characters and images of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu and others are distorted, there is still some basis for it, then in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", besides his name, Lu Su Almost all of them are fabricated. Lu Su in history "though he was in the military formation, he never let go of the scroll", "thought far ahead" and "had extraordinary wisdom". When he first met Sun Quan, he proposed the policy of founding the country: establish a foothold in the east of the Yangtze River, reject Cao Cao in the north, wait for the opportunity to eliminate Huang Zu, advance to Liu Biao, and conquer the Yangtze River, and then establish the title of emperor to benefit the world. This is similar to Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Dui". When Cao Cao's army marched south to Jingzhou, Sun Quan's subordinates all surrendered. Only Lu Su advocated resisting Cao Cao and persuaded Sun Quan to recall Zhou Yu to fight against Shang Zhan and stick to the plan. After the Battle of Chibi, he advocated supporting Liu to fight against Cao. In the history of Soochow, Lu Su was actually a Zhuge Liang-like figure, and Sun Quan also admired him very much. The establishment and development of the State of Wu basically followed the political and strategic guidelines proposed by Lu Su. But in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lu Su became the victim of the wits battle between Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, and was a typical example of being fooled and bullied.

The Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes..." When people mention this poem, they will think of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of the four famous works. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", whose full name is "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", was compiled by Luo Guanzhong, a writer of the Ming Dynasty. As can be seen from the title, this novel is based on the "Three Kingdoms", but it is not as solemn as an official history, but an ancient vernacular novel. Compared with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has become more artistic. Below, I will comment on this 660,000-word masterpiece from several aspects. 1. Truth and Fiction The biggest difference between romances and official history is that romances are not entirely true, romances are novels. Everyone says that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is 70% historical fact and 30% fiction, and it is indeed true. But fiction is made using artistic techniques, not just any historical facts. For example, Guan Gong warmed wine and beheaded Hua Xiong. This incident was not written in the history books. For another example, regarding the meeting with Lu Su alone, the history books say that Lu Su went alone to meet with Guan Yu. There are of course countless similar examples. After reading it and doing a little analysis, it can be seen that most of these fictional plots are foreshadowing each character described in the novel.

Because, if we just create real characters as mentioned in the official history, some characters will be contrary to the author's political and ideological views. Moreover, while fictionalizing, the author also paid attention to the rationality and coherence of the plot, rather than rigid fiction. This is why after reading it, you will feel like you are actually there. In short, the author's writing in this aspect is quite successful, and these plots also reflect part of the author's subjective wishes. 2. Deification and vilification The characters in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are not entirely real characters, but characters that have been processed from official history. Among them are deified characters and vilified characters. Typical representatives of deified characters are Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu. The place where Zhuge Liang is deified is "the prophet of uncertainty", and the place where Guan Yu is deified is "loyalty" and "righteousness". Next, I would like to briefly compare why the author focuses on deifying these two people.
