The sun shines obliquely into the window leaves, holding a cup of green tea, and in the fragrance of tea, Romance of the Three Kingdoms opens leisurely.
I have read this book for a week, and I will finish it now. The time spent on this book simply broke my record. In the past, reading a book was basically speed reading, so that in the end, the details in the book were often ignored. But when it comes to Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I have to slow down and read it intensively. First, out of respect for China and the four classical novels, and second, because it is not in the vernacular, it is not obscure, but it is also quite difficult to read.
After reading the whole book, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others impressed me deeply, but Zhou Yu impressed me the most. I remember who said before that Zhou Yu's image in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was extremely inconsistent with his real image. Curious, I looked up a lot of information and compared it with Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the story of "Sanyu" is widely known. Zhou Yu was written as a short-sighted, impulsive and narrow-minded person. But when I saw many historical figures' comments on Zhou Yu, I was very confused. Cheng Pu said, "You don't get drunk if you are friends with Gong Jin", Chen Shou said that Zhou Yu was "smart" and Liu Bei also said that Zhou Yu was "measured". Only when I saw Liu Bei's evaluation of Zhou Yu did I know that if a person really has personality charm, he can even get the respect of the enemy. Such Zhou Yu should be described as generous and lofty.
So, why is Zhou Yu in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms such an image? I read all kinds of historical materials carefully and finally got some understanding.
According to historical records, Zhou Yu was beautiful in appearance, refined in temperament, resourceful and broad-minded, and Battle of Red Cliffs laid the foundation for a three-point world. It is no wonder that such a nearly perfect person will be discredited, otherwise it will cover up the brilliance of Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Chen Erdong mentioned Zhou Yu in Gossip Three Points, saying that he was jealous of Zhou Yu's "loyalty to Sun Shi, trust in friends, planning skills, fame, beauty and wife's beauty". Perhaps this is one reason, but the more important reason is that Zhou Yu is in the "Sun Wu Group".
In the history books, either Cao Wei is orthodox or Shu Han is orthodox, and Soochow is in a very embarrassing position. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms undoubtedly supports Liu Bei, so the author tries to enlarge the advantages of Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang. As the central figure in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang must have the advantages of resourcefulness, foresight, broad-mindedness and magnanimity, which is too similar to the image of Zhou Yu recorded in historical books. Therefore, the author belittles Zhou Yu and regards Zhou Yu as a foil to Zhuge Liang. In Three Weeks of Qiyu, Zhuge Liang is better than Zhou Yu every time, and Zhou Yu is always inferior to Zhuge Liang. Finally, he became furious and vomited blood and died. Actually, it's not. In the history books, Zhou Yu died of illness, and he and Zhuge Liang did not have a holiday or face-to-face confrontation.
I can't help feeling sorry for Zhou Yu, just because he joined the "Sun Wu Group". In the mouth of the people, he became short-sighted, impulsive and narrow-minded. How many people who have read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, from now on, have only a superficial impression of Zhou Yu!
Fortunately, many people know the history of the Three Kingdoms period very well, so they know that the image of Zhou Yu is actually very different from that in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Zhou Yu is definitely a famous star. Everyone knows the famous battle-Battle of Red Cliffs. After this war, Cao Cao was defeated, and at this point, the world scored three points. This battle was commanded by Zhou Yu. In addition, according to historical records, 64 ancient famous soldiers in the Tang Dynasty were posthumously sealed and temples were built for them to enjoy a drink, including Zhou Yu; In the Song Dynasty, temples were built for ancient famous soldiers, including Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu is good at temperament, which is not mentioned in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The History of the Three Kingdoms Wu Shu Zhou Yu Biography records: "Yu Shao is good at music. Although there were mistakes after the three masters. I must know, and if I know, I must take care of it. Therefore, people say, "This song is wrong. Zhou Lang will deal with it. According to legend, Song of the Long River, also known as Guangling San, was written by Zhou Yu. Whether Song of the Long River was written by Zhou Yu or not, at least, Zhou Yu is really proficient in melody. Now, "Zhou Lang Drum" has become an allusion for musicians who are good at distinguishing melody. ...
I checked the information and saw that it was getting late and the night was dark. I suddenly lost my mind. In a flash, I seem to have crossed the long river of a thousand years' history. In the smoke all over the sky, the black silk scarf of Jiangdong Zhou Lang feather fan is flowing, it has disappeared, and the blazing fire has turned red. Only his lips are faint smiles, gentle and clear.
That is, Zhou Yu in my heart-a young talent, slim figure and high spirits.
