The Historical Background of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, social contradictions were sharp, and peasant uprisings broke out one after another. After years of war, Zhu Yuanzhang wiped out heroes, overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty. During the period of people's displacement, Luo Guanzhong, as a writer of zaju and storytelling, lived at the bottom of society, understood and was familiar with people's sufferings, expected social stability and people's living and working in peace and contentment, and thought as a bottom-level intellectual, hoping to end the tragic situation caused by unrest. Thus came the historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which was based on the history of the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
