Why do you feel that the Three Kingdoms period was an era where talents gathered together?

This is the result of illusion and fiction. Let’s look at the boatman’s analysis.

Most people understand the history of the Three Kingdoms period through the novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so from a communication perspective, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of the four most famous works since then, has , is definitely one of the best in classical literature. But precisely because of this, some exaggeration and fictional techniques in literary creation have caused many people to confuse novels with real history. If you think of novels as history, it’s easy to make a joke!

If you want to read a novel, especially a long-length historical novel, you need countless characters to support the story. If you want the story to be interesting and attractive, you have to make the characters more distinct. . To put it bluntly, it means better martial arts, fancy weapons, twists and turns, just these two or three things.

For example, heroes' weapons cannot be repeated, so Liu Bei uses a male and female sword, Zhang Fei uses a Zhangba snake spear, Guan Yu uses the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, Zhao Yun uses a gentian spear, Lu Bu uses Fang Tianhua to strike, etc. Wait, you will find that there is no duplicate. This is obviously the author's artistic imagination. Because fighting on the battlefield is not about looking good, but how useful it is!

The most useful weapons are often the most common. The most common weapons during the Three Kingdoms period were simple and commonly used weapons such as spears, spears and halberds. But if used in a novel, Zhao Yun holds a long spear to beat the horse and goes into battle, and Lu Bu also holds a long spear to beat the horse.

For another example, it was Sun Quan who borrowed arrows from the straw boat, Liu Bei was the one who burned Bowang Slope, Zhou Yu set the fire in the Battle of Chibi, and the Empty City Strategy also plagiarized the story of a famous general in Wei, but the author used it to create characters. The image of a hero puts all these things into Zhuge Liang, thus creating a character who is almost as intelligent as a demon. In order to play with suspense, he also comes up with a quiver and some clever tricks. If this really happened on the battlefield, there would be more than two generals. Slap the big mouth, what nonsense are you playing, just say what you have to say!

So the real Three Kingdoms, that is, the Three Kingdoms in history, is not much different from other troubled times. There are many heroes and touching stories, but it would be ridiculous to say that there are many more. Even if there are many, they are very limited, but they are lucky enough to be selected by Luo Guanzhong into his literary works. "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is like the "Bang of the Gods", depicting a wonderful picture of stars gathering and wisdom.
