A platform asked: The theme of the Three Kingdoms is so popular, why don't you like the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms?
My answer is as follows:
Because, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang, and Huang Zhong during the Three Kingdoms period all had personality charm.
This is the cornerstone of all the popularity of the Three Kingdoms theme, without this cornerstone, there is no difference between the Three Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Five Dynasties and Ten.
It's not because Cao Cao is charismatic that the Three Kingdoms shine.
Rather, because Liu Guan and Zhang Zhuge were committed to reviving the Han Dynasty, and fought for their dreams without extinguishing, historians recorded their words and deeds, and the world praised them. In the end, the story of Liu Guanzhang + Zhuge of the Three Kingdoms became widely known.
This is what I'm talking about, the Three Kingdoms, and this period of history is widely known to the world.
It is precisely because of this root that Shu Han has not yet perished. The fame of Zhuge Liang, the soul of the Three Kingdoms, began to spread in the land of Sichuan and Shu.
After the demise of Shu Han, Zhuge Liang's style of doing things and the nostalgia of the people began to ferment. There is a saying that there is no harm without contrast.
Look at the method of the Sima family after seizing power, and then look at the method of Zhuge Liang after dealing with the government, in contrast, the literati and the people miss Zhuge Liang even more, in this case, Liu Guanzhang's friendship, Zhao Yun's friendship, and Huang Zhong's spirit of disobedience to the old began to be discovered.
People began to look at the history of Shu Han with admiration, and after the death of the country, Chen Shou commented like this, saying that Liu Bei had the style of Gaozu and the weapon of a hero.
Chen Shou: The ancestors of Hongyi are generous, know people and treat people, and have the style of ancestors and heroes. And its whole country is lonely in Zhuge Liang, and the heart is indifferent, the sincerity of the monarch and the minister, and the prosperity of ancient and modern times. The power of the machine is strategic, and Wei Wu is not arrested, but it is based on Ji Yu and narrow. However, if you are indomitable, you will not be the next one, and you will not tolerate the amount of the other, not only for profit, but also to avoid harming Yuner.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty historian Chang Xuan commented on Liu Bei - a small name and a fresh person, and he can prosper the dragon and the phoenix, and he praised Liu Bei for being a lone Zhuge Liang - the most public of the monarch and the minister, and the prosperity of ancient and modern times.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was a great chaos, and the heroes rose together. If Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Er Yuan, Han, Ma, Zhang Yang, Liu Biao's disciples, and Zhou Lianjun, there are more than 10,000 people, and between them, they all claim to be Han Zu Keheel, Huan, Wen Yimai. And Wei Wushen was strategic, and the slaughter was exhausted. At that time, the main name was Wei Ren Xian, and he could be a dragon and a phoenix, Bo Yujun Xu, a false wing Jing Chu, a flying beam, a place of benefit, and Keyin Hanzuo, and Wu and Wei confronted it. If you are not a talented person, you will be like it!However, the Cao family will be replaced by the Han, and it is advisable to support the letter and shun to the Ming DynastyIt is also a name, which is beyond the reach of the righteous. and his death is lonely in Zhuge Liang, and his mind is not two, Chen Zi thinks that "the prince and the minister, the ancient and modern prosperity" also.
The ancients had a mirror in their hearts, and in the Song Dynasty, this was what Su Shi said, the common people listened to the story of the Three Kingdoms, rejoiced when they heard Cao Cao's defeat, and worried when they heard Liu Bei's defeat.
When it comes to the affairs of the Three Kingdoms, when I heard that Liu Xuande was defeated, he frowned frequently, and there were people who sobbed;Hearing Cao Cao's defeat, he sang fast. I think I know the gentleman and the villain, and I will not cut it for a hundred years.
If it weren't for Liu Guan, Zhang Zhao, Huang Zhuge and these people's lost spirit and friendship of working hard for their dreams.
The history of the Three Kingdoms is essentially no different from that of the Five Dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Everywhere there are the following offenses, everywhere there is a struggle for power and profit, everywhere there is bullying of the young master. Everywhere there are breakthroughs in the bottom line of political morality.
And this is the reason why the story of the Three Kingdoms is more widely spread than the other two troubled times.
Because, in the troubled times, the founding spirit of Shu Han is valuable, and it also adds a different style and color to history. When reading history, people tend to be more yang than yin.
