I read the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms and benefited a lot. Romance of the Three Kingdoms is one of China's four classical novels and an important literary masterpiece in the ancient history of China. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has created nearly 200 characters, among which Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Liu Bei and others are the most successful. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms focuses on the struggle between the ruling groups of Wei, Shu and Wu Sanda during the Three Kingdoms period. It tells a series of stories from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the unification of the Jin Dynasty.
Among them, narrow-minded Xian Di, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, brave Zhang Fei, upright Guan Yu, Liu Bei, etc. are all extremely embarrassed. These characters gave me a deep education. Aside from these characters, what impressed me most was the heroes described in this book.
Let's start with Guan Yu. This is one of the people who impressed me the most. He refused to send Cao into Han, took a candle to Dan, rode a thousand miles alone, passed five customs and killed six generals, and the ancient city was beheaded. Later, Huarong Road released Cao Cao. He was loyal to his old master and surrendered to the enemy because of defeat, but as soon as he learned the news of his old master, he didn't know how far Wan Li was. I think coming back after defeating the enemy is not only loyalty, but also a rare loyalty. The method of expressing Guan Yu in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is also very simple: "The phoenix eye, the silkworm eyebrow, the face like a heavy jujube, the dragon crescent moon knife", and later added "the red rabbit horse", scraping the bone to cure poison without fear of pain, chopping Yan Liang and killing Wen Chou, almost becoming invincible in the world.
The rule of the country needs loyal ministers, and needs a loyal minister who can devote himself to death. This is Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang is well versed in astronomy and geography, capable of writing and martial arts, and resourceful all his life. He set fire to a new field, borrowed the east wind, borrowed the arrow of a grass boat, inspired Zhou Yu with three wonders, cleverly put out an eight-array plan, cursed Wang Lang for death, captured Meng Huo seven times, set off an empty city plan, used seven-star lights, returned Sima Yi with a puppet, and killed Wei Yan with one move, which were unexpected by ordinary people. I thought this kind of person should look extraordinary, but the description in the book is simple: he is eight feet long, with a face like a jade crown, wearing a black silk scarf and a crane.
Tell me about Cao Cao. Cao Cao was called a traitor in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He said that Liu Bei and he were contemporary heroes, which made Liu Bei afraid to listen, but he didn't kill Liu Bei, although Liu Bei was just a turtle in a jar. This made me feel Cao Cao's generosity, which Zhou Yu never dreamed of. Zhou Yu only sees Zhuge Liang, not swearing. As long as Zhuge Liang is killed, the world in Soochow will be peaceful. Later, I found out that Liu Bei was not an ordinary person, so I wanted to kill Liu Bei, at least leave him in Soochow, where the world was at peace. Short-sighted, narrow-minded, not a hero. This is also in sharp contrast with Cao Cao.
There is also the savior of Zhao Zilong Changbanpo who rode alone, Huang Gai was punished with risks, and Zhou Yu set fire to Sanjiangkou and so on.
The characters in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms have their own characteristics, both long and short. Generally speaking, after reading this book, I opened my eyes, and the people above also gave me deep feelings. They are worth learning.
Essay 1
A history of the Three Kingdoms, vigorous, how many stories have been interpreted: playing the romance of loyalty shows the spring and autumn, and fighting with wisdom and courage. It can really be said that "big waves wash sand heroes", and the success or failure is left to future generations to judge. A story has passed.
We don't need to compare the Romance of the Three Kingdoms with historical facts, saying that the author advocates the Liu family and belittles Cao Zhi with the view of "respecting Liu and restraining Cao". Let's put aside these views for the time being and read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms as a pure novel, and the content inside is enough for us to chew.
Luo Benguan, the author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, lived in the war years between the late Yuan Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty. Because he was born in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, he personally experienced the war and understood and experienced the cruelty of warlords fighting for power and profit. According to historical records, Luo Guanzhong personally participated in the army of Zhang Shicheng, a peasant uprising army, and served as a military adviser. His initial deployment was very useful and won the appreciation of the Ministry and the trust of Zhang Shicheng. Later, due to an accident, Luo Cai abandoned Zhang and fled to the Three Kingdoms. From this aspect, we can understand why all the descriptions of fighting in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms are superb and unpretentious, which seems to be related to Luo Guanzhong's experience. From the Yellow Scarf Uprising in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rise of heroes, the dispute over the Central Plains to A Falling Rock, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is unified, with a long time span and diverse characters. The author's descriptions are different, and the characters are always vivid, which fully shows the author's superb overall control ability. It is said that Luo Guanzhong's wife is good at telling the story of the Three Kingdoms. Whenever she tells stories, plays and sings in teahouses and wineries, she is always packed and the audience stands for four times. This may be of great help to the final reflection of the Three Kingdoms (a TV series "Luo Guanzhong" condensed these plots).
Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a classic with large scale and rigorous structure, which shows a vast historical picture. It describes the military, politics, economy, history and culture. Of course, the author's life is different from ours now, and his description of some aspects may be biased. But there is absolutely no need for us to condemn the ancients. Since most people agree that there is no such thing as super class in the world, it is naturally impossible for Mr. Luo Guanzhong to reach today's level in his ideological system at that time. On the other hand, I think it is precisely because the author lives in such a particularly turbulent era that the scenery and human feelings he describes are so rich in ancient flavor and ancient lifestyle and closer to that historical era. It feels as if he really returned to that distant and ancient era, as if listening to the screams and shouts of war horses. This is exactly the degree of truth achieved by the author's clever pen and clever writing skills. If modern people put pen to paper, I'm afraid they can't write the elegance of the ancients and the real ancients.
I have read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms many times, and I also read the comic books of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms when I was a child. Probably when I was in middle school, I saw the vertical version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which was proofread and prefaced by Mr. Zhou. That was the 1950s edition. I remember it was published by Beijing People's Publishing House. I read it many times that time. This time I watched The Romance of The Three Kingdoms, a series of "Ten Classical Vernacular Novels in China" published by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, and read it many times. Perhaps it is the limitation of level. Every time I browse, I pay attention to the plot of the novel, but I don't pay much attention to its literary and artistic value. After reading this, I will write a few words as a souvenir of my own thinking, and I dare not say it at a deeper level. After all, I am too ignorant to talk about the Three Kingdoms. However, among the four classical masterpieces, my favorite is the Three Kingdoms.
Essay 2
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes the rise and fall of the Three Kingdoms, which has gone through five periods: the Yellow Scarf Uprising, the Dong Zhuo Uprising, the separatist regime (Guandu Battle, Battle of Red Cliffs), the tripartite confrontation among the three realms, and the return of the three realms to Jin.
The Yellow Scarf Uprising began in Taoyuan. After the Yellow turban insurrectionary uprising, the Eastern Han government counterattacked, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and other heroes appeared, and the Eastern Han regime was about to perish.
Dong Zhuo's Rebellion tells the story of Dong Zhuo's rescue from He Jin's struggle with ten courtiers to Shao Di's escape from Beijing before and after he entered Beijing. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he bought Lu Bu, abolished Shao Di, established Xian Di, monopolized power, and practiced tyranny, forcing the allied forces to cut Dong Zhuo. Although the allied forces failed later, Dong Zhuo was finally killed by Lu Bu.
After the death of Dong Zhuo, the princes in the Central Plains were leaderless. In order to expand their territory, they were mainly divided into three war zones, namely Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north, the rise of Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and the war between Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu in the Central Plains.
After that, I won't elaborate on the three points in the world, and the world belongs to gold. The most important thing is to talk about my own understanding and views on the romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao is my favorite. Although Liu Bei was written as a traitor in order to highlight his righteousness, his military talent has not been obliterated. During the years of crusade against the West, he occupied a large area of land north of the Yangtze River, and even ethnic minorities surrendered to him. He is the most talented of the three monarchs, and Wei is also the most powerful of the three. He laid the foundation of Wei, and later Jin was able to enter Wei.
The thirst for talents is also a place worthy of appreciation for Cao Cao. In order to select more talents, Cao Cao broke the standard of appointing officials according to feudal virtue and the rank of his younger brothers, and put forward the employment policy of "meritocracy". In the spring of 2 10 A.D., Cao Cao summed up the historical experience at the beginning of the stage, and thought that since ancient times, there was no one who was the founding emperor and the king of Zhongxing without talents to rule the world together, and talents often did not leave the hutong. This is by no means an opportunity, but a search and visit by those in power. In view of this, Cao Cao pointed out that now the world is undecided, and it is the moment to be thirsty for talents. He hopes that people around him will not consider their origins and help him find and recommend those who are born in poverty and buried. In AD 2 14 and 2 17, Cao Cao issued a talent-seeking order twice, repeatedly emphasizing his "meritocracy" policy in employing people. He asked personnel departments at all levels and local officials not to pursue perfection when selecting talents, even if they have such shortcomings, as long as they are really talented. After some efforts, Cao Wei concentrated a large number of talents. For a time, all localities and regions. Advisers are like rain. For talented people, Cao forgot the past. For example, Chen Lin, who was originally a subordinate of Yuan Shao, once drafted a campaign for Yuan Shao, cursing Cao Caozu for three generations. After Yuan Shao's defeat, Chen Lin defected to Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked him, "You wrote to Yuan Shao before, and a person scolded me. Why did you scold my ancestors for three generations? Chen Lin hurriedly.
Cao Cao's success is not only because of his outstanding talent and good at recruiting talents, but also because of his broad mind. After the fiasco in Chibi, Cao Cao did not feel helpless, but smiled and said, "Today's North is still under my control". San Xiao showed optimism about the setbacks. Cao Cao is also a person who is very interested in literature. He likes to write poems. Even if the war is imminent, his interest will not change. Many of his poems are music.
Essay 3
Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of China's four classical novels, is a historical novel selected by Luo Guanzhong. The content of this novel is mostly compiled by calligraphers in the Northern Song Dynasty and even in the Ming Dynasty. After editing by Luo Guanzhong, it became a famous masterpiece at home and abroad, formerly known as Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The plot of the book is dominated by Liu Bei, a declining royal family. The story tells that he met two heroes, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, by chance. Because of like-mindedness, the three became sworn friends in Taoyuan, which started the story and ended with the death of Wu in the next 90 years. Some plots such as "Borrowing the East Wind" and "Catch Cao" are family stories, which shows how wonderful and true this book is.
I think the characters in the book are the soul of this novel. The protagonists Liu, Guan and Zhang fully demonstrated three typical heroic spirits of benevolence, loyalty and courage in the process of competing for the Central Plains and establishing Shu State. The most famous plots are "Liu Xuande and the People Crossing the River", "Bearded Man Riding a Thousand Miles Alone" and "Zhang Yide Rioting Heaven", in which Zhuge Liang became the representative of wisdom. Jiang Wei has also been portrayed as the pillar of loyalty, filial piety, wisdom and courage, and the psychological changes of Cao Cao, a generation of military strategist, from loyalty and loyalty to sinister prime minister who committed the most heinous crimes have also been vividly portrayed. It can be seen that the book's meticulous description of characters is the first of ancient novels, and it is indeed a wonderful book.
The book Romance of the Three Kingdoms has been used by book artists since the Song Dynasty, but it is always inconsistent. But why should I say painter? In fact, there are many shadows of the Song Dynasty in the book.
Guan Yu is the most familiar one in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Guan Yu is the most loyal person in the book. But in modern times, because the court attached great importance to literati, any literati would pursue the realm of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism. The truth that "loyal ministers are heroes" makes Guan Yu side by side with Zhuge Liang, who has the wisdom of ghosts and gods. It can be seen how the status of the characters in the book is obviously improved because of loyalty. Relatively speaking, treacherous court official Cao Cao became a sinner through the ages because of "holding the emperor to make the princes"
There is no doubt about the literary value of The Romance of Three Kingdoms, but it is not completely without historical value. It's just that the value of historical materials is not in the Three Kingdoms period, but from Song Dynasty to Ming Dynasty. Because The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is an anecdote book, we can understand the political situation at that time through this book. Heroes like Zhang Fei appeared mainly because the Han people in the Yuan Dynasty were oppressed, and the people longed for an aggressive hero to take the lead. Zhang Fei changed from a gentle painter to an aggressive painter.
In fact, I don't know how many times I have read this book, but every time I reread it, I have different tastes and different feelings. I think as a China person, I must read China and Four Great Classical Novels at least once, while in Four Great Classical Novels, there are too many intrigues in A Dream of Red Mansions and too many heroic plots in Water Margin. In contrast, The Journey to the West and The Romance of the Three Kingdoms are more suitable for teenagers, but apart from their literary value, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is more helpful for us to understand the culture of the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties.
