At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, social contradictions were sharp, and peasant uprisings broke out one after another. After years of war, Zhu Yuanzhang wiped out heroes, overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty.

During the period of people's displacement, Luo Guanzhong, as a writer of zaju and storytelling, lived at the bottom of society, understood and was familiar with people's sufferings, expected social stability and people's living and working in peace and contentment, and thought as a bottom-level intellectual, hoping to end the tragic situation caused by unrest. Therefore, the author created the historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms according to the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Extended data:

The time narrative in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is scattered or scattered, but these scattered or scattered time narratives lack unified logical clues to connect them in series into a meaningful organic whole. Therefore, there are many phenomena such as multiple fractures between time and story, story and character, character and time.

Corresponding to the broken narrative of time, the spatial narrative of Romance of the Three Kingdoms also has obvious limitations. The historical space and geographical area represented by the novel are quite broad and rich, and the story is generated, developed, gradually changed, sharply changed and ended in different spatial structures, so it is reasonable to develop many story scenes full of aesthetic surprises and pleasure for the novel.
