Talking About the Three Kingdoms

"Talking about the Three Kingdoms" is a long chapter-length historical romance novel written by Luo Guanzhong in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. It takes the history from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the early Western Jin Dynasty as the background and tells the story of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu competing for hegemony. The novel takes Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Quan and other heroes competing as the main line, and depicts Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu and many other distinctive characters. Starting from the Three Kingdoms in Taoyuan, it has gone through major events such as the feudal princes against Dong, the Battle of Chibi, and the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, showing the strategies of war, the pride of heroes, and the turmoil of the times. The work combines historical facts and artistic creation. It not only restores the grandeur of history, but also uses vivid plots and characters to create one of the four classic Chinese classics. It has a profound influence on later literature, opera and other fields.
