The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is one of the Four Great Classical Novels in China and one of the pinnacles in China's history and literature. However, it is only a novel after all, and there are fictional elements in it. However, because it is so excellent, the novel has been misunderstood as the official history over time. Therefore, there is a famous saying in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that is well known to women and children, but the fact is the opposite. What is that sentence? Since Yu was born, why did He Shengliang? .
In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhou Yu gave his thoughts when he was dying. In the book, Zhou Yu fought with Zhuge Liang, but he lost every time, so Zhuge Liang kept beating Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu is a talented person, but when he confronted Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang always got the upper hand and was teased and laughed at by Zhuge Liang several times. Such a praised person was teased all the time, and his mind became more and more narrow-minded, and he would only make such a sigh when he died.
However, in fact, during the alliance between Sun and Liu, Zhuge Liang only went to Dongwu once and made a lobbyist for Sun Quan. After that, Zhuge Liang also left and came back. Therefore, the incidents in the novel, such as verbal warfare, borrowing arrows from grass boats and borrowing the east wind, are all fictitious, and later historians have speculated that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang have never met each other, so it is far from Zhuge Liang's anger.
Another anecdote is that when Luo Guanzhong wrote The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of his fellow villagers took an exam, and his fellow villagers flaunted it. He also laughed at Luo Guanzhong, a fellow villager surnamed Zhou, who is said to be a descendant of Zhou Yu. Luo Guanzhong happened to write the story of the Sun-Liu alliance, so he took all his grievances against his fellow villagers on Zhou Yu, so Zhou Yu's image in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was very bad.
Even if the story is fictional, the words of Zhou Yu in the story have long been known to women and children.
