How should people treat historical novels and official history? How to treat those historical stories and characters distorted by novels? Ask for a mild answer, not too much.
Historical novels are like the exaggeration and amplification of official history. For example, Zhuge Liang's wisdom is very famous in history, and everyone knows it. It is an exaggeration to write him in The Romance of Three Kingdoms. What's the use of exaggeration? It is to impress people and emphasize the characteristics of this person or event. Moreover, many materials in the history books are collected from the people. Handed down from generation to generation will inevitably exaggerate the facts and convey a person to the gods.
