Through the stories of Wei, Shu and Wu, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms reveals the historical development law of "the general trend of the world, which must be combined for a long time, and must be combined for a long time". The ideological tendency of "supporting Liu and opposing Cao" runs through the works, which embodies the people's desire to support a wise monarch, yearn for peace, hate tyrants and oppose unrest.
Luo Guanzhong integrated culture from two different levels of elegance and vulgarity, and distorted it according to his own subjective understanding, values and artistic likes and dislikes, thus making his works rich in cultural connotations. In The Romance of The Three Kingdoms, there are not only the refraction of the ideology of the upper ruling class, but also profound folk thoughts. It is a visualized history of the rise and fall of the Three Kingdoms and a political and military history in the eyes of the people.

Luo Guanzhong, as a playwright and playwright, lives at the bottom of society, understands and is familiar with people's sufferings, expects social stability and people to live and work in peace and contentment, and thinks as a bottom-level intellectual, hoping to end the tragic situation caused by unrest. Thus came the historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which was based on the history of the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
