Literary achievements
Romance of the Three Kingdoms is written in simple classical Chinese, which is vivid and fluent, appealing to both refined and popular tastes. Brush strokes are full of changes, contrasts, redundancies, twists and turns, and swaying. The structure is magnificent, and the events of about a hundred years and many characters with complicated clues are organized completely and closely, and the narrative is orderly, echoing, interrelated, interlocking and advancing layer by layer.
The artistic achievement of The Romance of The Three Kingdoms is more important in military and political description and characterization. Novels are best at describing wars and can write the characteristics of each war. Pay attention to describing the application of different strategies and tactics under specific conditions, and guide the subjective initiative of combat, instead of spending the main pen and ink on the simple strength and martial arts contest. For example, the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Battle of Red Cliffs and the Battle of Yiling. The writing 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, which makes the exciting and thrilling war seem relaxed and slow. Such as the cooperation between Battle of Red Cliffs's former grandson and Liu, the contradiction between Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, the temptation of Cao Cao, and the in-depth preparation of Sun Liu's allied forces to lure the enemy. In the aspect of characterization, the novel pays special attention to putting the characters in the sharp contradiction of real struggle and expressing their ideological character through their words and deeds or the surrounding environment. Such as Cao Cao's treachery, every move seems to hide intrigue; Zhang Fei has nothing but innocence and recklessness. Zhuge Liang has a well-thought-out plan, and he is always comfortable and leisurely in the face of things. Famous articles such as Guan Yu's "Killing Hua Xiong with Warm Wine", "Killing Six Generals after Passing Five Customs", Zhang Fei's "The Great Bridge in Changban", Zhao Yun's "Riding Alone to Save the Young Master", Zhuge Liang's "Rescuing Meng Huo Seven times" and "Scaring Sima Yi with an Empty City Plan" are widely circulated.
Artistic feature
Luo Guanzhong integrated culture from two different levels of elegance and vulgarity, and distorted it according to his own subjective understanding, values and artistic likes and dislikes, thus making his works rich in cultural connotations. In The Romance of The Three Kingdoms, there are not only the refraction of the ideology of the upper ruling class, but also profound folk thoughts. It is a visualized history of the rise and fall of the Three Kingdoms and a political and military history in the eyes of the people. Because most of the materials come from the people, it certainly provides rich materials for the creation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but it also brings great pressure to the writers. When they enter the novel text, they are accompanied by the infiltration of different ideas and different aesthetic tastes. However, folk feelings and the spirit of good history are not always consistent, and may even conflict with each other, which puts a severe test on the writer's creation. Luo Guanzhong's greatness lies in properly handling the relationship between folk feelings and good historical spirit and creating an artistic world with great tolerance. The historical works of the Three Kingdoms not only provide the basic material and historical framework for The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but also directly affect the novel's creation mode and basic tendency. The spirit of seeking truth from facts and the consciousness of seeking truth from facts are the basic characteristics of historiographer culture, which are reflected in the compilation of historical books. Editors are required to take an objective attitude and pay attention to summing up and exploring historical experiences and lessons in order to achieve the purpose of "governing the country with capital" and educating people. These characteristics are well reflected in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Main character
Liu Bei
Liu Bei (A.D. 16 1- A.D. 10 June 23) was born in Zhuoxian County (now Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province), a descendant of Liu Sheng, the King of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty, and was the founding emperor, politician and historian of Shu and Han in the Three Kingdoms period. Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan took Lu Zhi as their teacher, and then participated in suppressing the Yellow Scarf Uprising. Together with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he rescued Kong Rong in Beihai and Tao Qian in Xuzhou. Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei after his death. Liu Bei drifted from place to place in his early years and took refuge in many governors. Later, he defeated Cao Cao in the alliance between Battle of Red Cliffs and Sun Quan, seized Jingzhou, and then made progress in Yizhou to establish the Shu-Han regime. Chen Shou commented that Liu Bei was inferior to Cao Cao, but he was generous, considerate and persevering, and eventually became emperor. Liu Bei himself once said that when he did things, "every time he opposed Cao Cao, things were successful." In 22 1 year, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, with the title of Han and Zhangwu. Known as Shu or Shu in history, he occupied Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hanzhong in Shaanxi and part of Bailong River in Gansu. In 223 AD, Liu Bei died in Baidicheng at the age of 63. Posthumous title Zhaolie, temple name Taizong, was buried in Huiling. There are many literary and artistic works about him in later generations. Wuhou Temple in Chengdu commemorates Zhaolie Temple.
Sun Quan (182-2 1 May 252,) was born in Xiapi, Fuchun, Wu Jun (now Pizhou, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province). The founder of Wu Dong in the Three Kingdoms period. His father, Sun Jian, claimed to be Sun Wu, a great strategist in the Spring and Autumn Period. After his brother Sun Ce was killed, Sun Quan inherited his father's career, saved Jiangdong and became a vassal. Cao Cao, with the strength of a general, said that he would win over Lu and lead the meeting to take the lead. Sun Quan sent troops twice to pacify Shanyue and stabilized the situation in six counties in Jiangdong. In 208 AD, he led a great army to personally expedition to Huang Zu, won Jiangling, joined forces with Liu Bei, and won the victory in Battle of Red Cliffs. In 2 1 1 year, Liu Bei led an army to attack Wu in order to avenge Guan Yu. On the one hand, Sun Quan took Lu Xun as the commander-in-chief, on the other hand, he faced Wei Wendi Cao Pi, who worshipped him as the king of Wu. In March of the following year, the Shu army was defeated. He died in 252 AD. Through a series of vivid examples, the author Luo Guanzhong created an image of a politician and strategist with unique appearance, extraordinary courage and good governance of the country and the army.
Cao Cao (A.D.155-A.D. March 220 15 [8]) was born in Peiguoqiao County (now Bozhou, Anhui Province), Han nationality. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was an outstanding politician, strategist, writer and calligrapher, and the founder of the Cao Wei regime in the Three Kingdoms. When the Yellow Scarf Army uprising broke out, he served as a captain and participated in the extermination of the Yellow Scarf Army. From the second year of Jian 'an to the sixteenth year (197-2 1 1), it defeated the strongmen such as Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao and unified the north. He was defeated by Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang with fire in Chibi. In the twenty-first year of Jian 'an, he was named Wang Wei and died in Luoyang four years later. [9] This image is an artistic model of a cruel and treacherous political careerist and strategist. However, while exposing and criticizing his evil virtue, the novel fully shows his intelligence and courage as a traitor, and has a better political vision and tolerance than Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao. He is well versed in the art of war, making good use of soldiers and tactics, and defeating the strong with the weak. Has eliminated the size of warlords except Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and unified more than half of China.
