Allusions and Idioms in Romance of the Three Kingdoms
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms not only shows rich historical knowledge, excellent military and political strategies, and swaying characters, but also "the text is not deep and the words are not vulgar", among which there are many idioms and allusions that are widely circulated.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang plowed Nanyang, and Liu Bei urgently sought talents in order to urge him to help him fight for the country. He visited Zhu Gekongming in Wolong three times, and he lived in a thatched cottage in Longzhong. Later, he used the second allusion to express the emperor's understanding of his liegeman, and also expressed his sincere invitation or visit.

Seeing that the world was in constant war and the people were suffering, Zhuge Liang, a fledgling, promised to go out of the mountain and return to Xinye with Liu Bei. At this time, Cao Cao sent troops to capture Jingzhou, where Liu Biao's second son was stationed, and then attacked Liu Bei. Liu Bei's soldiers are outnumbered and the situation is critical. Zhuge Liang set an ambush in Bowangpo, trying to burn Cao Jun down with fire. At that time, people praised Zhuge Liang with poems: "Bo Wang attacked with fire, and commanded ruyi to joke."

Cao Cao's army, the leading group in the war of words, camped along the river and prepared to annex Jiangdong. Lord Wu Dongjun and his subjects were shocked and worried, and it was difficult to decide whether this was a peaceful war. Zhuge Liang used his strategy to discuss world affairs with officials, and skillfully argued to persuade them to unite with Sun Quan and Liu Bei against Cao. Battle of Red Cliffs came into being. This idiom originally meant to argue with many Confucian advisers and refute each other's arguments, but later it meant to argue with many people and refute each other fiercely.

Sun Quan used Gong Jin's trick to lure Liu Bei to get married in Dongwu, and coerced Liu Bei to return to Jingzhou. Before leaving, Zhuge Liang gave Zhao Yun three bags made of brocade, saying, "Seal three clever tricks in them and open them in turn." Zhao Yun, Liu Bei and Sun Gan led 500 soldiers to Nanxiu, broke Gong Jin's trick, married Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang and fled back to Jingzhou. So that Soochow "lost his wife."

Zhuge Liang, a feather fan with a black scarf, said goodbye to the generals before he died and arranged military affairs. Although there was no secret mourning after his death, Sima Yi knew the truth when he saw the retreat of Shu soldiers, so he urged the army to catch up quickly. Suddenly, Wu got on the gun, flags fluttered, and Zhuge Liang appeared in a four-wheeled carriage. When Wei Jun saw that Ge Liang was still alive, he abandoned his armor and fled. Two days later, Sima Yi knew that the car was Woodenhead.

Three-legged Battle of Red Cliffs laid a three-legged position. Wei, Shu and Wu fought fiercely, but in the end, all the power went to Sima's house, ending the struggle among the three countries. Therefore, the two sentences at the end of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are: "Three legs and three legs have become dreams, and future generations are complaining." Shooting is a metaphor for the stalemate between the three parties. There is also "Guo Guo" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
