Before the "Three Kingdoms" was written, Wei and Wu both had their own official and private history books. After the fall of Shu, Qiao Zhou compiled the "Benji of Shu". As a native of Shu, Chen Shou compiled "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" after entering the Jin Dynasty. Because the Jin Dynasty succeeded Wei Zuo and unified the country, Chen Shou listed the "Book of Wei" as the first among the Three Kingdoms. He used this chronicle to record the emperors of Wei, but he called the two masters of Wu and Shu "Chuan".

1. A small witch can make a big witch appear.

From Jin·Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms·Wu Shu·Zhang Hong Biography". When a wizard with weak moral skills meets a wizard with high moral standards, he will not be able to perform his witchcraft.

2. Whenever there is an emergency, put others before yourself.

From Jin·Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms·Shu Shu·Biography of Xu Jing". Whenever there is trouble, always think of others first and then yourself.

3. Don’t do evil because it’s small, and don’t do good because it’s small.

From Jin·Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms·Shu Shu·Biography of the First Master". Don't do bad things because they are small and not serious, and don't not do good things because they are small.

4. People’s hearts are different, and each one has its own face; the face follows the back, as the ancients warned.

From "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, the Chronicles of Shu, and the Biography of Jiang Wan" by Chen Shou of Jin Dynasty. People's hearts are different, just like people's faces; the people the ancients were wary of were those who agreed with them in person but opposed them behind their backs.

5. Don’t let others’ badness lead you to success, and don’t let others’ inferiority make you proud.

From Jin·Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms·Wei Shu·Wen Di Ji". Bad: Decline. Don't boast about your success in front of others, and don't use other people's humbleness to show your nobility.

6. Talent is good, so great talent can lead to great good, and small talent can lead to small good.

From Jin·Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms·Book of Wei·Biography of Lu Yu". Talent: talent. Your own talents are used to do good things, so if you have big talents, you should do big good things. If you have small talents, you should do small good things.

7. When you are an official, you should not give in to your power, and you should not be selfish in your pursuit of justice.

From Jin·Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms·Book of Wei·Biography of Du Ji". When dealing with those who are in office, do not give in to those who are powerful; when upholding justice, do not favor those who are related to you.

8. A good general will not be afraid of death in order to avoid it, and a martyr will not break his integrity in order to survive.

From Jin·Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms·Wei Shu·Biography of Pound". An excellent general will not avoid disaster because he is afraid of death; a heroic man will not lose his integrity because he is greedy for life.

9. The dragon catches the clouds and rain, but they are not the things in the pond.

From Jin·Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms·Wu Zhi·Zhou Yu Biography". The legendary dragon, with the help of clouds and rain, can leave the pond and soar. It is a metaphor that a talented person can achieve great results once he encounters a good opportunity.

10. The treatment of the disease is not serious, and the treatment of the disease is not serious.

From Jin·Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms·Wu Shu·Luo Tongchuan". Du, deep, this refers to a serious illness. The disease should be treated before it becomes serious, and the disease should be cured before it causes a serious disaster. This is a metaphor for treating a disease, explaining that it is necessary to get rid of the disease early and in a timely manner.
