Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Guomai Classic)

"Three Kingdoms" is a famous historical work written by Chen Shou, which records the history of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu from the first year of Huangchu, Emperor Wen of Wei, to the first year of Taikang, Emperor Wu of Jin. The book has a total of 65 volumes and is presented in the form of a biographical history book. It is known as one of the "First Four Histories". In this book, I was deeply attracted by the heroic images and the depiction of human nature in troubled times. After reading "Three Kingdoms", I was deeply affected by the many heroes in the book. They each have their own characteristics, some are brave and fearless, and some are resourceful. Their deeds inspired me and strengthened my belief that I must face difficulties bravely and pursue my dreams. At the same time, I was also touched by the portrayal of human nature in the book. In troubled times, people's desires and ambitions are infinitely magnified, but there are also people who can stick to their beliefs and principles. For example, in the battle between Shu and Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang always stood firm and remained unswayed by power and interests. This kind of persistence and integrity inspired me deeply and made me understand how important it is to stick to your principles and beliefs in real life. In addition, the characters in "Three Kingdoms" also left a deep impression on me. Liu Bei's benevolence and generosity, Cao Cao's resourcefulness and decisiveness, Sun Quan's stability and decisiveness, each character has its own unique charm and characteristics. Their images are not only the reproduction of historical figures, but also the author's profound thinking and revelation of human nature. Through these characters, I saw the diversity and complexity of human nature, and it also made me better understand the weakness and fragility of human nature. In general, reading "Three Kingdoms" gave me a deeper knowledge and understanding of history. Through this book, I not only learned about the historical background and heroic deeds of that era, but more importantly, I drew wisdom and strength from it. I understand that in real life, it is very important to stick to your beliefs and principles, while also learning to understand and tolerate the complexity of human nature. This book made me understand the importance of history and made me appreciate my current life more.

Pei Songzhi's annotations and doubts are very original. They are more comprehensive than the original work by Chen Shou. He adds some discussions from other works for comparison or extension, which is helpful for increasing thinking. However, Chen Shou's original work is indeed mixed with private information, which makes people laugh. On this day, after Zijian, the book was completed, and special notes were given.

The book has no abridgements, so history buffs can read it with confidence. The so-called love affair between uncle and sister-in-law between Cao Zhi and Mrs. Zhen began in Li Shan's novel "The Story of Gan Zhen" in the Tang Dynasty. There is no record of this affair in the official history of the past dynasties. Hu Kejia of the Qing Dynasty also verified that it was not Li Shan who quoted the "Ji", but one thing that is certain is that the Cao Zhen scandal originated in the Tang Dynasty, because there was no such statement in the previous four hundred years. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the story of Gan Zhen was already widely popular. "Ode to the Goddess of the Luo" was written by Cao Zhi. In the article, the Goddess of Luo corresponds to the Zhen family, and the king corresponds to Cao Zhi. Later generations often interpret "Luo Shen Fu" as the story of Cao Zhi and Zhen, and embed it in historical rumors and become part of the historical narrative. However, this interpretation confuses history and literature, and compresses the imagination space of "Luo Shen Fu". During the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, there was another legend about goddesses, such as "The Jade Girl in the Sky" in Qian Bao's "Sou Shen Ji", which tells an emotional story between a goddess and Xuan Chao, with a solid material foundation and a secular foundation.

Needless to say, the pinnacle work

True history, no need to say more

Regarding the reasons why Cao Pi's wife Zhen was sentenced to death, the "Wei Jiyi" in Volume 69 of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" compiled by Sima Guang of the Song Dynasty has summarized it concisely and comprehensively. The following is the colloquial translation of Zhen's death in Zhang Dake's version of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian": When Wei Taizu conquered Yedu, Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi was serving as the commander-in-chief of the five senses. He saw the beauty of Yuan Xi's wife Zhen from Zhongshan and liked her very much. Wei Taizu married Zhen for Cao Pi and gave birth to his son Cao Rui. When Cao Pi became the emperor, Guo Guifei from Anping was favored, and Mrs. Zhen could not see her when she stayed in Ye. She could only feel disappointed and complain. Guo Guifei said bad things about Mrs. Zhen, and Emperor Wen of Wei was angry. On June 28th, Ding Mao, sent an envoy to order Mrs. Zhen to commit suicide. There was no such thing as the so-called love between uncle and sister-in-law that had been so popular in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that "Luo Shen Fu" is the metaphorical reference to Cao Pi's wife Zhen. This is purely nonsense, because there is no record of this matter in the official history of the past dynasties. The "Anthology of the Three Kingdoms·Book of Wei·Biography of King Chen Si" written by Mr. Lu Bi, a modern man, has found out that it is false.

Okay, it's easier to look up information when having friendly exchanges on the Internet [laughs]

The writing style of "Three Kingdoms" is rigorous, concise, and both authentic and readable. The author Chen Shou vividly depicts the historical figures and events of the Three Kingdoms period in the form of a biography. The evaluation of Zhuge Liang in the book, "Dedicated himself to death," accurately summarizes his spirit. Moreover, this edition of "Three Kingdoms" also comes with a "Relationship Table of Characters in the Three Kingdoms" and a "Chronology of Major Events in the Three Kingdoms", making it easier to read.
