The Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Luo Guanzhong's True Feelings

Luo Guanzhong, a man with lofty ambitions, is our example of lofty ambitions and soaring eagle--- Zhuge Changqing

Luo Guanzhong is a student of Shi Naian. After finishing the writing of "Outlaws of the Marsh" with his master, he wrote China's first classical novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is the most widely circulated, influential, accomplished and ambitious.

He is a compassionate, knowledgeable and versatile counselor and literary giant.

A "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" made him famous all over the world.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms vividly reflects his grand strategy.

He was once the staff and division of Zhang Shicheng, the peasant uprising army.

Zhang Shicheng was once put forward with the grand strategy of "slowly becoming king". Unfortunately, Zhang Shicheng missed it.

So he wandered around the world alone, paying for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with all his blood.

Luo Guanzhong, named Ben, is also known as Hu Hai San Ren. He was born in Taiyuan, Shanxi during the reign of Emperor Renzong. Qingyuan native of Taiyuan (now Qingxu County, Taiyuan City), whose father Luo Jin was a silk merchant. He has six sons, and Guanzhong line ranks second.

He is gifted and intelligent. He began to study in a private school at the age of 7. At the age of 14, because his mother died of illness, he dropped out of school and went to Suzhou and Hangzhou with his father to do business. But Luo Guanzhong was not interested in business. With his father's consent, he went to Cixi to study with Zhao Baofeng, a famous scholar at that time. In the 16th year of the Zhizheng era (1356), Luo Guanzhong said goodbye to Zhao Baofeng and went to Zhang Shicheng, the peasant uprising army, as a curtain guest. The next year, at the suggestion of Luo Guanzhong, Zhang Shicheng defeated the attack of Kang Maocai, a subordinate of Zhu Yuanzhang. In the same year, Zhang Shicheng's younger brother was defeated and captured by the Yuan Dynasty. Zhang Shicheng had to surrender. After the yuan fell, Zhang Shicheng coveted pleasure. In the 23rd year of Zhizheng, Zhang Shicheng saw the decline of the Yuan Dynasty and once again became king. Many staff members, including Luo Guanzhong, suggested that the king should be suspended, but it was not accepted. Luo Guanzhong lost confidence in Zhang Shicheng and left him to return to his hometown Taiyuan.

On the way, he met Jia Zhongming, a fellow villager, and learned that his father had passed away and his stepmother remarried, so he no longer planned to return to his hometown. In Heyang Mountain, he met Shi Naian, who was writing The Water Margin. Luo Guanzhong very much agreed with his idea of writing a book to persuade the world, so he took Shi Naian as his teacher. Since then, Luo Guanzhong has been accompanying Shi Naian and helping to copy the manuscript. Later, he also began to write "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and got many instructions from Shi Naian.

In the spring of the 26th year, Zhao Baofeng, Luo Guanzhong's teacher, died. Luo Guanzhong rushed to Cixi for a memorial ceremony. A few months later, Shi Naian's family moved to Xinghua to avoid the war.

Luo Guanzhong couldn't find Shi Naian, so he continued to write The Romance of the Three Kingdoms in Heyang Mountain.

When Luo Guanzhong heard about Shi Naian's whereabouts and was ready to run for the past, he happened to catch up with Shi Naian who was arrested by Zhu Yuanzhang for "Outlaws of the Marsh".

So Luo Guanzhong rushed to Jinling and found Shi Naian's friend Liu Bowen to help rescue him.

After more than a year, Shi Naian was finally released from prison. Luo Guanzhong hired a boat to send him back to Xinghua. But because Shi Naian was ill on the way, Luo Guanzhong accompanied him to recuperate in Huai'an. Soon after the death of Shi Naian, Luo Guanzhong helped to take care of the afterlife, and then took the manuscript of "Outlaws of the Marsh" to Jianyang, Fujian to find someone to engrave it.

But in Jianyang, no one dares to print the Water Margin. He had no choice but to stay temporarily in Hangzhou. Here he edited and revised the Outlaws of the Marsh, and some people said that the last 30 chapters of the Outlaws of the Marsh were completed at this time. At the same time, he also revised his "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and wrote "The Legend of the Three Suiping Demons" 20 times, and died in Hangzhou.

Luo Guanzhong is engaged in the creation of novel and history, and many works have been handed down, such as "The Chronicles of Sui and Tang Dynasties", "The Romance of the History of the Five Dynasties of the Past Tang Dynasty", "The Legend of the Three Suiping Demons", "The Powder House" and the drama "The Song Taizu Dragon, Tiger and the Cloud". According to legend, he also wrote the popular romance of the seventeenth history, and participated in the writing of "Outlaws of the Marsh".

Guanzhong's long masterpiece, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, is probably his later work. This classic literary masterpiece describes the history of political and military struggles between Wei, Shu and Wu during the nearly one century from the Huangjin Uprising in the first year of Zhongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (18 years) to the unification of China in the first year of Taikang in the Western Jin Dynasty (280 years). Based on the historical clues and historical figures provided by Chen Shou's Three Kingdoms Annals, he collected a large number of valuable historical materials preserved by Pei Songzhi to fill in the gaps, prepare for differences, punish wrongs, and argue in the Three Kingdoms Annals, absorbed the rich nutrition of folk legends from the Western Jin Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty for more than 1000 years, and on this basis, combined with his life experience in participating in the peasant uprising army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, gave full play to his outstanding artistic talent, played all roles, and skillfully controlled, It vividly describes the vast and rich historical events in the past 100 years and has completed this 750000 word classic masterpiece.

In this masterpiece, Guan Zhong reposes his personal feelings of love and hate, and objectively exposes the political, military, open, hidden, legal and illegal conflicts and struggles between the feudal ruling groups. It vividly depicts the tactics and intrigues of the feudal ruling class, such as fighting for fame and profit, intrigue, intrigue, open fire and dark sword. Intentionally or unintentionally revealed the real historical background and reasons why farmers could not live, took risks, and rose in succession.

As for the artistic achievements of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are many aspects, which fully shows that Luo Guanzhong has amazing skills in characterization. Among the more than 400 characters in the book, whether it is Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, or Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Zilong, Huang Zhong, Lu Su, Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Guo Jia, Xu You, Zhang Liao, Lu Xun, and Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu, these brave and loyal generals, have vivid personal characteristics. In particular, the image of Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao is really fascinating and human. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, China's novel creation entered a new period, especially in the stage of the increasingly perfect Zhanghui novel.

Nanwu Master Sakyamuni Buddha. Blessed life is limitless. Confucius. Jesus. Mohammed.

All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the three generations in ten directions.

All immortals in the three realms and ten directions.

All sages at all times and in all countries.

Don't do any evil, and do all good. Persistence and responsiveness.

Zhuge Changqing wishes all the people who are destined to respect their parents and do good deeds and accumulate virtue rich and auspicious!

   《三国演义》：罗贯中真实情感的流露

  罗贯中，一个具有远大志向的人，是我们志存高远、鹰击长空的榜样！                      ---诸葛长青

 罗贯中是施耐庵的学生。在和师傅共同完成《水浒传》的写作之后，撰写了中国第一部流传最广、影响最深、成就最高、气魄最大的章回体古典小说《三国演义》。

他是一位悲天悯人、博学多才的一代谋士、文坛巨匠。

一部《三国演义》，使他名满天下。

三国演义这本书，生动地体现了他的的宏伟韬略。

他曾经是农民起义军张士诚的幕僚军师。

曾经给张士诚提出过“缓称王”的远大谋略，可惜，张士诚动却失之交臂。

于是他独自飘游天下，一腔热血尽付《三国演义》。

罗贯中，名本，别号湖海散人。出生于元仁宗年间的山西太原。太原清源人（今太原市清徐县），其父罗锦是丝绸商人。生有六子，贯中行居第二。

他天资聪颖，7岁开始，在私塾学习。14岁时由于母亲病故，便辍学随父亲去苏州、杭州一带做生意。但是罗贯中对生意不感兴趣，在父亲的同意下，他到慈溪随当时的著名学者赵宝丰学习。至正十六年（1356年），罗贯中辞别赵宝丰，到农民起义军张士诚处作幕客。第二年在罗贯中的建议下，张士诚打败了朱元璋的部下康茂才的进攻。同年，张士诚的弟弟兵败被元朝俘虏，张士诚只好投降。降元后，张士诚贪图享乐。到至正二十三年，张士诚看到元朝没落，又再次称王。包括罗贯中在内的许多幕僚都建议暂缓称王，但是不被采纳。罗贯中自此对张士诚失去了信心，离开了他，准备返回老家太原。

路上他遇到同乡贾仲明，得知父亲已经逝世，继母改嫁，便不再打算回老家。在河阳山他遇到了正在撰写《水浒传》的施耐庵。罗贯中非常赞同他写书劝世的主张，于是拜施耐庵为师。此后，罗贯中一直陪伴在施耐庵旁边，帮助抄写书稿。随后自己也开始撰写《三国演义》，并得到了施耐庵的许多指点。

至正二十六年春，罗贯中的老师赵宝丰去世。罗贯中赶往慈溪祭奠。几个月后，施耐庵为躲避兵乱全家迁往了兴化。

罗贯中找不到施耐庵，就在河阳山继续写《三国演义》。

   当罗贯中打听到施耐庵下落，准备投奔过去时，正巧赶上施耐庵因《水浒传》而被朱元璋抓起来。

   于是罗贯中赶往金陵，找到了施耐庵的好友刘伯温帮忙营救。

   经过一年多后，施耐庵终于出狱。罗贯中雇船送他回兴化。但是由于施耐庵途中染病，罗贯中陪伴他在淮安养病。不久施耐庵去世，罗贯中帮忙料理了后事，然后带着《水浒传》书稿去福建建阳找人刻印。

     但是在建阳无人敢承印《水浒传》。他没有办法，只好到杭州暂时住下。在这里他整理修改了《水浒传》，也有人说《水浒传》后三十回就是这时完成的。同时他还改定了自己的《三国演义》，又写了《三遂平妖传》二十回，就病逝在杭州。

　　罗贯中从事小说稗史的创作，有许多的著作传世，诸如《隋唐志传》、《残唐五代史演义》、《三遂平妖传》、《粉妆楼》和杂剧《宋太祖龙虎风云会》等。相传，他还写过十七史通俗演义，并曾参与了《水浒传》的撰写。
　　贯中的长篇巨制《三国演义》，大约是他后期的作品。这部古典文学名著，描述了从东汉中平元年（18年）的黄巾起义，到西晋武帝司马炎太康元年（ 280年）统一中国的将近一个世纪中，魏、蜀、吴三国间的政治和军事斗争历史。他依据陈寿《三国志》提供的历史线索和历史人物，博采裴松之对《三国志》补缺、备异、惩妄、论辩，所保存的大量宝贵史料，吸取了西晋至元一千多年来民间传说的丰富营养，并在此基础上结合自己参加元末农民起义军的生活经历，发挥个人的卓绝艺术才能，纵横捭阖，巧妙驾驭，形象生动地描述了近一百年中浩瀚繁富的历史事件，完成了这部75万字的古典名著。

　　在这部名著中，贯中寄托了自己个人的爱憎情感，客观地揭露了封建统治集团之间政治的、军事的、公开的、隐蔽的、合法的和非法的矛盾斗争。淋漓尽致地刻划了封建统治阶级争名夺利、勾心斗角、尔虞我诈、明火暗刀的策略伎俩和阴谋诡计。有意或无意地揭示了农民无法生活、挺而走险、纷纷起义的真实历史背景和原因。

　　至于《三国演义》的艺术成就，则是多方面的，充分地显示了罗贯中在人物的刻划方面有着惊人的技巧。全书四百多个人物形象中，不管是曹操、刘备、孙权这些群雄之首，还是诸葛亮、关羽、张飞、赵子龙、黄忠、鲁肃、周瑜、黄盖、郭嘉、许攸、张辽、陆逊以及王允、董卓、吕布这些巨谋勇将，忠奸之臣，都具有鲜明的生动的个人特性。尤其是对张飞、诸葛亮和曹操的形象塑造，真可谓出神人化，呼之欲出。元末明初，我国的小说创作进入了一个新的时期，尤其是章回体小说步入日臻完善的阶段。

    南无阿弥陀佛，南无阿弥陀佛，南无阿弥陀佛！

   南无本师释迦牟尼佛。福生无量天尊。孔子。耶稣。穆罕默德。
                        十方三世诸佛菩萨。

                    三界十方一切神仙。

                    古今中外一切圣贤。

    诸恶莫作，众善奉行。持之以恒、有求必应。
