The Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away heroes. Whether it is right and wrong or failure, it is empty now and has disappeared with the passage of time. Castle peak is still there, after several sunsets. Fishing on the white-haired river, watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. I met an old friend and had a drink. How many things in the past and how many times have been put into the conversation.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes the rise and fall of the Three Kingdoms, which has gone through five periods: the Yellow Scarf Uprising, the Dong Zhuo Uprising, the separatist regime (Guandu Battle, Battle of Red Cliffs), the tripartite confrontation among the three realms, and the return of the three realms to Jin.
Among them, there are many wonderful stories, such as borrowing arrows from grass boats, three metaphors, borrowing the east wind, and clever tricks. You will find that these stories are all centered on Shu, and Zhuge Liang is omnipotent like a god. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a historical event from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the reunification of the country by Jin. Especially the contradiction between Wei and Shu; When writing about Wei and Shu, we also focused on the story of Shu. When writing Shu Han, Zhuge Liang was the center; The key to writing Zhuge Liang is to make a big decision, which shows the author's thought of maintaining the orthodoxy of the Han family. Because The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a novel, many stories are exaggerated. Now I will tell you some real history.
First, Cao Cao never said that I would rather lose the whole world than let the whole world lose me. What he said was: It is better to die than to die. When Cao Cao said this, he felt guilty. But in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it was exaggerated and became a matter of course. Besides, at the beginning of his official career, Cao Cao actually wanted to be a "capable minister", but after the governors begged Dong, he saw that the Han Dynasty was hopeless, and he chose to be a "traitor in troubled times". In addition, Cao Cao has done many good deeds in history, such as extensively reclaiming wasteland, building water conservancy projects, advocating frugality, being frivolous and generous, restraining the powerful, and doing many good deeds for the people all over the world. Secondly, Zhuge Liang, according to the History of the Three Kingdoms written by Chen Shou, should be an excellent diplomat. He is not good at strategy, and he is not as god as written in the romance of Three Kingdoms! Moreover, the ridiculous allusion of borrowing Dongfeng has spread to later generations. If Zhuge Liang can really borrow the east wind, Mr. Lu Xun said, "Zhuge has wisdom and is close to a demon." The demon here is a demon, not a demon. There is also an empty city plan, which is also a well-known allusion, but if you think about it carefully, you will find it illogical. The first Sima Yi did not dare to attack for fear of an ambush. Just go in and have a look. The second Sima Yi "would be smiling if he saw Kong Ming sitting on the tower." The distance is certainly not too far. Can archers shoot Zhuge Liang down? Third, according to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi surrounded Yangping with 200,000 troops, but surrendered without a fight? Therefore, the empty plan is not real, but Zhuge Liang also has his glorious side. He is concerned about the country and the people, dedicated, honest and dedicated, and set an example, which can be called an eternal model. Third, Zhuge Liang has never been angry with Zhou Yu in his history, and Zhou Yu has great tolerance. Liu Bei once said that he was "quite talented". Zhou Yu's military ability is still very high. It can be said that Battle of Red Cliffs was commanded by Zhou Yu. By the way, Jiang Gan has also been wronged. He is Zhou Yu's classmate. He also went to Dongwu, but he didn't steal books. Jiang Gan was a handsome boy. Such allusions are vivid in Luo Guanzhong's works, so sometimes history is far away from us!
Finally, I hope everyone can understand the truth of history while reading novels, watching operas and listening to storytelling. We don't want to know much, but we want to know and understand. So China's 5,000-year-old traditional culture can be traced back to ancient times!
