history
Most of our current understanding of the Three Kingdoms period comes from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of the four classical novels. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a historical novel compiled by Luo Guanzhong in Ming Dynasty based on The History of the Three Kingdoms. Although characters, stories and plots are mostly fictional, the main line of historical development is real.
As The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written in the Ming Dynasty, it was an era of advocating orthodoxy and status legitimacy. The author Luo Guanzhong was also deeply influenced by this thought. In the process of writing, Shu was regarded as the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.
In the eyes of authors and rulers, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang are the leaders? Shu Han regime? It is an orthodox imperial power and represents the continuation of the Eastern Han regime. Therefore, the story of Romance of the Three Kingdoms has a strong? Respect Liu and demote Cao? Tendency.
Another book that is often regarded as the official history of the Three Kingdoms is the History of the Three Kingdoms written by Chen Shou in the Jin Dynasty. After being quoted by Pei Songzhi, it is of great reference value.
But Chen Shou was the minister of the State of Jin, which inherited the world from the State of Wei. Therefore, the history of the Three Kingdoms was also influenced by politics at that time, and Cao Wei was regarded as orthodox. In Shu Wei, Cao Cao wrote a biography, while Shu Shu and Wu Shu just passed it on without discipline. For Liu Bei, it is "Biography of the First Master", and for Sun Quan, it is "Biography of the Military Master".
Although Chen Shou respected Wei as orthodox in name, in fact he wrote a Book of Wei Shuwu, which truthfully recorded the tripartite confrontation between the three countries, showing that they were independent, not subordinate to each other and had equal status.
Later, it was annotated by Pei Songzhi and widely quoted. Therefore, the historical anecdotes of the Three Kingdoms period can be completely restored by combining the History of the Three Kingdoms and Notes of the History of the Three Kingdoms. Related legends and myths can be supplemented by Romance of the Three Kingdoms to enrich the details.
