Heroes have garrisons, originating from ancient times. In any era without talents, they are left in the grasslands. "These are two lines from Zuo Si's" Ode to History "of the Western Jin Dynasty, which means that since ancient times, the situation of heroes has been difficult. In any era without talents, they are just abandoned in the grass and buried. Friends familiar with history know that in Chinese history, the emergence of talents often occurred during periods of great chaos and prosperity.
Talents stand in prosperous times, which is easy to understand, because without numerous talents for governing the world, prosperous times cannot emerge. And in the turbulent season of chaos and turmoil across the world, why do all kinds of heroes and nobles also emerge? The truth is actually very simple. Once the old order is disrupted, the foundation of its rule is naturally rotten and unbearable. These mediocre people have no power to turn the tide and can only helplessly let the flowers fall. At this moment, heroes rose up in the grass field, strategizing and winning from thousands of miles away, maneuvering and achieving great fame. If it weren't for the chaotic times, how could Liu Bei, who weaved threads and sold shoes, claim the throne of Western Shu? If it weren't for chaotic times, how could Cao Cao use the emperor to command the princes after castration? If it weren't for the chaotic times, how could the grandson of the county official, Sun Quan, control Jiangdong? The times make heroes, this statement is not false.
There have been several periods of great division in Chinese history, and the Three Kingdoms period had the most talents and profound influence, which cannot be compared to other turbulent times. In response to this, Zhao Yi, a scholar from a university in the Qing Dynasty, gave his explanation: "Talent is not abundant in the Three Kingdoms, and only the rulers of the Three Kingdoms are capable of employing people, so they receive the support of many forces to form a powerful force." Indeed, in addition to the outstanding abilities and superhuman wisdom that a successful person should possess, identifying and employing people, and turning the wisdom of others into their own is also a crucial factor. Throughout history, there is no one who can create new ideas and achieve a dominant position solely through their own efforts and fighting alone.
The reason why the Three Kingdoms are regarded as the "Exhibition Hall of Ancient Chinese Talents" is that various talents from different dynasties are present here. In addition to the two factors mentioned above, it is related to the dissemination of a series of literary works represented by "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and adapted from historical materials of the Three Kingdoms. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms went through over a thousand years from its inception to its completion. In these thousand years, on the one hand, there was a process of folk evolution of historical materials and historical facts of the Three Kingdoms recorded in the history books; on the other hand, through "history telling", acting, romance and other means, the stories of the Three Kingdoms were enriched and the characters of the Three Kingdoms were fuller.
That is to say, unlike other classic works such as "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has a process of writing from folk brewing to literati creation. Scholars studying "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" generally agree with the view that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a towering mountain built with collective wisdom and hard work. Because of this historical background and writing process, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has always been plagued by the entanglement of "fiction" and "reality". In this debate and dispute between fiction and reality, characters from the Three Kingdoms era frequently appear in people's minds. For a work, humor is so important. Fun can stimulate people's desire to read, make them forget their books and sleep, and prolong their memory and add historical content. Unfortunately, there are too few interesting works in our history reading materials.
