Why do you say that? There are not many objections to the first sentence. Many friends also mentioned that as a person living in the Three Kingdoms period, Chen Shou was able to master first-hand historical materials, and the credibility of specific things was certain. For example, Sun Jian was not Zhuge Liang, but Du You was not whipped by Zhang Fei, but Liu Bei and Lu Su attended the meeting alone, not Guan Yu, and so on. There are many more, so I won't list them one by one. In fact, this is understandable, because romance is a novel, and the plot itself is allowed to be fictional.
Focusing on the second sentence, the macro historical view is closer to historical facts. Chen Shou, a courtier of Jin historians, could not tell the truth of history because of his own identity. Therefore, although the History of the Three Kingdoms is called The History of the Three Kingdoms, it is actually more like The History of Cao Wei. Why?
1, only the emperors of Cao and Wei called it "Ji", while the emperors of Cao and Wei called it "Chuan", which is different from the equal attitude in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and does not conform to the historical facts.
2. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the biographies of the leaders of the separatist regime all belonged to the History of the Three Kingdoms, which obviously did not conform to the historical facts. When did Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and others become Chen Wei? I'm afraid it's still true
3. Although there is no way to directly degrade it into Shu, it is obviously not a historical fact. Liu Bei's establishment of the Han Dynasty should be a reflection of Wei Han's death. However, in order to emphasize the orthodoxy of Cao Wei, Chen Shou was later succeeded by Sima Shi and degraded to Shu, which was not only never thought of by Liu Bei, but also unacceptable to most people in the eyes of the Han Dynasty, so there was the later "Han Jin".
At this point, we may have to talk about the history of respecting Liu and restraining Cao in history for more than 800 years. Many people think The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a typical representative, because this book is based on Shu Han. Respecting Liu and restraining Cao reflects people's feelings, pursuing justice and kindness, and opposing the selfish values of "preferring to bear the burden of the world". Isn't this more reflective of the true historical people's hearts? !
Finally, I have to mention that many biographies of Wei are very detailed, many of which are unknown in history, while the biographies of He are relatively brief. Perhaps the most typical example is the history of the Three Kingdoms? Shu Shu? Zhang Guan's "Macelo Wong and Zhao Chuan" recorded a few strokes about the five tigers and generals, which was badly written. Without Pei Songzhi's comments, it would be more difficult to read.
On the whole. I think the romance of the Three Kingdoms is more real.
