Some people have done statistics, from the end of primitive society to the Xinhai Revolution, in the hot land of China, a total of more than 6,000 wars of a large scale have occurred.
It can be said that there are many famous civilian and military generals in all dynasties, but if you do a statistic, the popularity of the "Three Kingdoms" is actually the highest, the question is, why do people like the Three Kingdoms?
1. Outstanding representative of "grassroots" entrepreneurship
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" explains that if you want to go into the village to find Liu Xuande's family, you don't need to inquire, you can see whose tree in the courtyard is the biggest. Mr. Feng Shui, who is more good, vigorously exaggerated this, saying that this tree in his family is really incredible, and the distant view is an umbrella, looking almost the same as the set of umbrella covers when the emperor went out, thus asserting that this family is afraid that it is going to be the emperor.
"Serious" people who plant trees at home?
To put it far away, Liu Bei is a handicraft practitioner who makes a living by weaving straw shoes. If you put it up now, this is at least a medium-level craft, but not in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In the era of small-scale peasant economy, people can not spend money without spending money, and besides, straw shoes can be made up by themselves. Therefore, although Liu Bei is in business, his family is indeed a grassroots class!
But it was this grassroots who, relying on his own efforts, became the emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty.
Liu has two magic weapons, one is to be able to fool, and the other is to finance.
He claimed to be after Liu Sheng, the King of Zhongshan Jing.
Through the data, it can be found that Liu Sheng died in 113 BC, Liu Bei was born in 161 AD, the difference between the two grandfathers and sons was 274 years, what is the concept of 274 years? We can average it, if their old Liu family is 18 years old and has children (this is already considered to be the level of leftover men), there are 15 generations in the middle.
Liu Sheng, this person is a drunkard, he left 120 sons when he died, think about it, how many descendants can these 120 sons breed after 15 generations! This is a geometric growth, I'm afraid it's not clear.
Therefore, after Liu Bei declared himself the King of Zhongshan Jing, this is quite difficult to verify, but no matter what, do not look at the advertisement to see the curative effect, anyway, others believe it, at least Emperor Xian of Han once combed with Liu Bei for generations, and the result was that Emperor Xian of Han wanted to call him Uncle Huang.
Emperor Xian of Han called it that, and others acknowledged it. This became his golden signboard, very appealing to the jianghu, after the hard work of the brothers and sisters, finally established a foothold in Xichuan, Liu Bei also became the representative of the grassroots entrepreneurs of that era.
From Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, to Liu Bei, this spirit of changing fate has been inspiring hundreds of millions of people!
2. Strategies of the Three Kingdoms Era
With the collapse of the imperial power of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world entered the stage of chasing deer, and in the late Han Dynasty, where the soldiers were in chaos, how could they join the encroachment army without any ability?
Still take Liu Bei as an example, the mat weaver is born, Guan Yu is not much better, selling dates at stalls, or a fugitive, this brother and sister is also Zhang Fei has strong financial resources, ostensibly selling pork, but in fact relying on iron and horses to support, in essence, Zhang Fei is doing smuggling work.
Over the years, Zhang Fei has accumulated a great business! But these became the starting capital of Liu Guanzhang's uprising, and most of the profits were finally taken away by Liu Bei.
From this point of view, Liu Bei is a typical empty glove white wolf, a high-end player of capital games.
It's not just Liu Bei who will play, just pull out a person in the Three Kingdoms, and you will find his highlights. Because of this, the Three Kingdoms became a wisdom manual, which also deduced many idioms about wisdom, such as empty city plan, loss of the lady and folding soldiers, straw boat borrowing arrows, seven captures and seven verticals, and so on.
Objectively speaking, if we simply discuss strategy, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is really inferior to Feng Menglong's "Chronicles of the States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty". But "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not just those strategies, otherwise it is full of calculations, which is not in line with our mainstream culture, in fact, the Three Kingdoms are more about a "loyalty".
There are many representatives here, and there are many classic cases of Zhi'en Tu Bao, such as Xu Shu's body in Cao Yingxin's heart in Han, Zhuge Liang's bowing to death and then himself, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei avenging Guan Yu, Jiang Wei defrauding Cao Wei and plotting to kill the Three Sages...
epilogue
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and was compiled into a volume by Luo Guanzhong. Prior to this, the Story of the Three Kingdoms was actually a kind of storytelling, which was spread by storytellers in the hook bar liquor store.
The so-called "commentary" must have a review, no comment, that is not called a book, at best it is a book, in fact, the audience knows a little bit about the three kingdoms synopsis, they just want to hear the exclusive comments of the book artist, so, in the three kingdoms story, each storyteller has added his own point of view, so that the three kingdoms story has many versions.
This art form is popular with the common people, so the Three Kingdoms have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially after Luo Guanzhong compiled it into a book, and the people are even more happy about it.
