Character depth analysis
Liu Bei: The King of Benevolence
Liu Bei was portrayed as a generous and benevolent monarch, and as a "Han clan relative", with the banner of "benevolence", he attracted a group of loyal and capable generals. Its personality charm lies in its "people-oriented" concept of governance, although its strength is weak, but with its noble moral character and firm ideals and beliefs, it won the hearts of the people and established the Shu Han regime.
Cao Cao: Ransei Xiong
Cao Cao is the most controversial character in the book, known as "the able minister who rules the world, and the traitor of troubled times". He is not only eloquent and strategic, but also good at using soldiers, but also has deep scheming and ambition. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has largely strengthened his negative image, such as the selfishness and ruthlessness of "I would rather bear others than others", but in fact, Cao Cao was also a writer and politician, and made indelible contributions to the unification of the north and the promotion of social development.
Sun Quan: The overlord of Jiangdong
Sun Quan inherited the foundation of his father and brother, sat down in the southeast at a young age, and stabilized the regime of Eastern Wu by virtue of the natural danger of the Yangtze River. He is good at employing people, such as Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Xun, etc., which reflects his leadership wisdom. Sun Quan's steadiness and long-term vision enabled Soochow to maintain a relatively stable situation among the Three Kingdoms.
Zhuge Liang: The embodiment of wisdom
Zhuge Liang is the representative of the wise man in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, known for his outstanding political talents, military strategies, and inventions (such as the wooden ox and flowing horse). His "dedication and death" have become a symbol of loyalty and wisdom, and stories such as "borrowing arrows from a straw boat" and "borrowing the east wind" are not lacking in artistic exaggeration, but they profoundly demonstrate his ability to strategize.
