Reflections on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms

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 truly talented. After some efforts, Cao Wei concentrated a large number of talents. For a time, all localities and regions. Strong men are like clouds, counselors are like rain, and the grand occasion is unprecedented. Moreover, for talented people, Cao will never forget 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 surrendered to Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked him, "You wrote to Yuan Shao before, but you just scolded me. Why did you scold me? "

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.

This winter vacation, I read the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which benefited a lot. Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a classic novel with dynastic style, which tells a series of stories from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the unification of the Jin Dynasty. First of all, I saw a poem as familiar as "The Yangtze River Rolling East …", and then I introduced it into the text. The first sentence is like this: "It is said that the general trend of the world will be combined for a long time, and it will be combined for a long time." This sentence is not unreasonable.

At the weekend, the seven countries divided and ruled, merged into one and merged into Qin. After the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, Chu and Han contended and merged into the Han Dynasty ... There were hundreds of characters and countless military strategies in the book. The author himself expounded the truth of loyalty, teaching, benevolence, righteousness and love through historical figures, which was deeply loved by the people. It describes mediocre masters Xian Di and Liu Chan, incompetent people Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and Liu Zhang, narrow-minded Zhou Yu, long and thick Lu Su, brave Zhang Fei, Xu Jun and Dian Wei, all the way to Jiang Gan, which made people laugh for generations. 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 because of his defeat and surrender, he made an appointment to know the news of his old master, so 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 The 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 "Red Rabbit Horse" and read Spring and Autumn Annals, making it almost invincible in the world. What he has done is worth learning. During the feudal rule, loyal ministers were needed, and loyal ministers who could do their best and die. 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 borrowed the east wind, the straw boat borrowed the arrow, Zhou Yu, the three souls, the wisdom of Huarong Road, the ingenious arrangement of the eight arrays, the death of Wang Lang, the empty city plan, the seven-star lamp, the return of the puppet Sima Yi, and the trick to kill Wei Yan were all unexpected. 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. What he did left a deep impression on later generations. Now speak of the devil. Cao Cao was called a traitor in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, probably because his son usurped the Han Dynasty. 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. Cao Cao is also a doer. He once assassinated Dong Zhuo and ordered the vassals to gather against Dong Zhuo. These let me feel the greatness of Cao Cao. Generally speaking, after reading this book, I opened my eyes, and the people above also gave me deep feelings. They are worth learning.
