At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three kingdoms were divided into three kingdoms, and the flames continued for days! The chaotic world produced heroes, the times created heroes, and the most splendid history of war in ancient Chinese history occurred in only a few decades. It is this kind of history, adapted into a novel (that is, the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"), which is widely circulated, with many famous stories and many vivid characters, among which Liu Bei's uncle Liu Bei is a very favorite object book that praises Liu Bei many times.
Some people say that the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was written from the standpoint of Mr. Liu, and we have always had doubts. In fact, the imperial dynasty established by Liu Bei has always been the Han Kingdom. The history is called "Shu Han". However, why is the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" not Han but "Shu"? In fact, during the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei called the empress dowager, and the state name was "Han", but Cao Wei's side naturally hated it, and once it was admitted, did it admit that it had stolen the "Cao Thief" of the Han Dynasty? Even if we knew, people would certainly not admit it. So Cao Wei called the regime "Shu", the centaurs "Shu thieves" or "captives", and occasionally "Han".
In the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Pi was named "Wei" because Cao Cao was enthroned in the "King of Wei" at that time, and in order to distinguish him from the Wei of the Warring States and the Beiwei of South Korea, Cao Pi was called "Cao Wei". Sun Quan called the emperor along the previous title of "King of Wu", and set the name of the country as "Wu", and at that time, this was the territory of the State of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period, and later generations called it "Eastern Wu" in order to distinguish between the two. Liu Bei needless to say, because he was located in the Shu Kingdom, plus the Han Dynasty clan relatives, so the name of the dingguo was "Han", and the history was called "Shu Han".
Later, Chen Shou compiled the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, referring to "Shu Han" simply as "Shu" instead of "Han". Chen Shou worked in shu han, and Liu Chan became a Jin vassal after surrendering. The Western Jin Dynasty called itself the orthodoxy after "Cao Wei" and referred to Shu Han as the "Shu Thief". Chen Shou wrote the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms as a canonical history, but it also inevitably hindered political factors and could not go in the wrong direction, so he used the name "Shu Kingdom".
Luo Guanzhong, the author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in addition to being influenced by Chen Shou, also considered literary issues. On the other hand, "Wei Shu Wu" and "Cao Wei Shu Han Dong Wu" The latter is certainly more cheerful than the former, and there is no memory, but literary works must need greater dissemination. On the other hand, it will certainly be asked why it is not Wei Hanwu. The key three kingdoms before the Han, the novel also has a lot of records of the events of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, too easy to confuse, this is certainly not OK.
Just imagine, Luo Guanzhong is not "Han", but chose "Shu". Moreover, I did not expect that the spread and influence of my works would be so great and profound. For thousands of years, "Shu Han" was not "Han" but "Shu Han", and the country naturally changed from "Han" to "Shu". Looking back at the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", I found that it is recognized that the "one of the twenty-four histories" of the zhengshi is not the "Han Kingdom" but the "Shu Kingdom", and everyone gradually agrees with the name of this country and feels that they have always been correct.
However, we calmly say that Liu Bei knew that he was angry and dead, and that the orthodox Han room he had worked so hard to build had changed its taste, and that it had been passed down for thousands of years not as "Han" but "Shu", and had to say that Cao Wei's influence was too great.
