Moreover, the story of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is somewhat similar to that of Japan during the Warring States Period, which makes the Japanese even more obsessed. Moreover, the tactical level of Japanese art of war at that time was not high, so it can be said that this book can also play the role of Sun Tzu's art of war. Let's just say that the Japanese even took the romance of the Three Kingdoms seriously. When invading Korea and fighting the Ming army, the samurai went out to fight the general one-on-one, and then were beaten into a sieve. In Japanese literary works during the Warring States period, the battle of samurai is really the rhythm of reporting names and drawing swords, which cannot be said to be influenced by the "same surname" of the three countries.
The most important thing is that the ideology in the novel is very consistent with the Japanese concept. The Japanese advocate the spirit of Bushido (fame, loyalty, courage, righteousness, propriety, honesty, constancy and benevolence), and almost all the loyal ministers and good generals in the three countries are such incarnations, such as Master Guan.
In addition, there are also outstanding artists in Japan who create works of art (such as cartoons) for this historical or romantic history, so that it can be spread more widely. In modern times, the existence of TV plays and the like is really attractive to the Japanese.
