The story of Romance of the Three Kingdoms begins with the Yellow Scarf Uprising and ends with Sima's destruction of Wu Jinkai. It mainly describes the war, reflects the political and military struggle between Wei, Wu, shows the historical situation of nearly a hundred years at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Western Jin Dynasty, and successfully created a group of heroes.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms is China's first novel. Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a combination of folklore, drama scripts, Chen Shou's History of the Three Kingdoms, Ye Fan's History of the Later Han Dynasty, Yuan Zaju's History of the Three Kingdoms, Pei Songzhi's annotations and other historical materials, as well as the author's personal understanding of social life.

The sequel to Romance of the Three Kingdoms created more than 400 characters in mature novel language, described the historical process of nearly a hundred years, and created a new novel genre, which not only made readers at that time "copy for viewing", but also inspired the enthusiasm of scribes and booksellers to continue writing and publishing similar novels.

Since Jiajing, various historical romances have mushroomed and come out constantly, from the beginning to the present. According to incomplete statistics, there are about 200 kinds of historical romances in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

An important feature of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is that it is based on history. The purpose of the author's creation is to describe a vivid history of the rise and fall of the Three Kingdoms, and the intention of summing up historical experience and lessons is very clear. The narrative of the novel starts from the first year of Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty (184) and ends in the first year of Taikang in Jin Dynasty (280), which gives a relatively complete account of the rise, development and demise of the Han, Wei and Wu Dynasties.

Drawing lessons from the compiling mode of chronological history books, the novel takes the historical process of the Three Kingdoms War as the main line and the rise and fall of Wang Ye as the main line, and organically organizes historical stories for nearly a hundred years. It mainly describes the political and military struggles in the Three Kingdoms period, and the author's interest lies in revealing how various military groups flourished and perished in this period.

For example, the main content of the first 33 chapters is the struggle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and the focus of contradiction is the struggle between the two factions. The author compares them many times, focusing on the summary of the lessons of rise and fall, which is the main idea of the author.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the last fifteen chapters mainly shows the contradictions within the Three Kingdoms, especially the profound description of Sima's usurpation of Wei, the trust of the empress and the tyranny of Sun Hao. Although the plot is short, the focus is still on how to live and how to die.

With the attitude of seeking truth from facts, the author objectively and completely shows the historical process of more than 100 years, and the summary of historical experience and lessons has left a lot of inspiration for future generations, which is very attractive.
