Primitive-era fiction is already a niche genre, and even fewer people have been writing it in recent years. Still, there are some excellent works out there, so here are a few recommendations.

Let's discuss the Martial Saint in Chinese history. China has a rich history of sages: Confucius, the Sage of Literature; Mencius, the Second Sage; Du Fu, the Sage of Poetry; Du Kang, the Sage of Wine; Zhang Zhongjing, the Sage of Medicine; Li Shizhen and Sun Simiao, the Sages of Pharmacy; Sima Qian, the Sage of History; Wang Xizhi, the Sage of Calligraphy; Lu Yu, the Sage of Tea…
I'm thinking there are only a handful of people from the Three Kingdoms period who could be enshrined in the Temple of Martial Arts. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are universally acknowledged as warriors capable of defeating ten thousand men; even Yue Fei had to borrow their titles to make his name. How come some people in the comments section think Guan Yu's fame is entirely due to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? That's Qing Dynasty hype!
According to official historical records, Guan Yu suffered complete defeats against Cao Wei's famous generals Yue Jin and Xu Huang. The much-hyped "severing of the northern route" actually yielded no results, and his achievements were overstated by various Cao Wei generals. At most, he had the merit of guerrilla warfare to contain the enemy.
The Martial Saint should be Yue Fei; Guan Yu fought in a civil war, so they can't be compared.
Q: In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there are three people who could charge in and out of an army seven times. We know Zhao Yun was one of them. Who are the other two?
Guys, I'm writing a historical novel, not a mythological story. Guan Yu is just a normal historical figure who also experienced birth, aging, sickness, and death. It describes Guan Yu, not the God of War and Wealth who is worshipped, or any other deity. He is not the gang leader that some people believe him to be. These need to be considered separately and should not be confused.
As I mentioned in my profile, Hua Xiong possessed the valor of a hegemon, so please don't say that Hua Xiong couldn't defeat Guan Yu. Who doesn't know the story of Guan Yu warming wine before beheading Hua Xiong? Since I've chosen such a title for the book, how could I not give Hua Xiong some kind of power boost?
The Three Kingdoms period was so beautiful… I hope a powerful ruler vying for supremacy wouldn't talk about love and romance… but rather plunder all those named women and wives.
Pan Feng, Hua Xiong, and Xing Daorong—these three are household names, and now they've all become the male protagonists of novels. How wonderful!
Wow, what a great start! They said they'd kill Guan Yu, and they did it right away—this isn't clickbait!
