"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has always been a famous work that the Chinese people enjoy talking about. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi, historical figures from more than a thousand years ago, are still household names today. This book is not only the pride of the Chinese people, but also the most popular Chinese classical novel in East Asia. What is the reason why "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has such great charm and can last for a long time in the circle of Chinese character civilization? The Three Kingdoms of Fiction, Not History Most of the allusions we are familiar with now come from the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which has long been divorced from historical facts and is pure fiction. The characters in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be said to be very different from those in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The Three Kingdoms that Chinese people love are not the Three Kingdoms in the official history, but the stories of the Three Kingdoms that have been interpreted and modified. Before the Song Dynasty, people did not have the same antipathy towards powerful ministers as later, so Cao Cao's image in the official history of the Three Kingdoms is actually very tall. He is not only a military wizard but also an outstanding political leader, but also a hero who ended the war in the north. But by the time of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, his image began to decline and gradually became treacherous and cunning. By the Song Dynasty, especially the Southern Song Dynasty, it was almost the same as the image in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". This process is also due to the strengthening of China's centralization and the gradual change in people's perceptions of power ministers. At this time, Cao Cao, the hero in the official history "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", was naturally not liked by the public, and was gradually blackened in many unofficial histories. When "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" describes Cao Cao, it is not necessarily because the author has any personal prejudice against Cao Cao, but because of absorbing a large number of previous unofficial records.
