Why do you call Lu Bu the Three Surnames?

The Three Surnames of the Family Slave is an allusion from Luo Guanzhong's Romance of the Three Kingdoms, specifically referring to Lu Bu. It is meant to satirize people who are capricious, unfaithful and serve thieves with their bodies. This derogatory remark is the fabricated material of Luo Guanzhong's novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

There is no historical record of Lu Bu's "three surnames", but it is a fabrication of folklore, which is a reflection of the traditional cultural values of loyalty, righteousness and filial piety in China.

In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu appeared as the righteous son of Ding Yuan, who opposed Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu killed and defeated Dong Zhuo for a while, but was later bribed by Li Su with a red rabbit horse and possessions to kill Ding Yuan and defected to Dong Zhuo, and became a father and son to Dong Zhuo, who was also known as the Three Surnames Slave to Zhang Fei for this reason.

When the eighteen vassals united to conquer Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu fought Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in front of the Hudian Pass, and then lost. Wang Yun used Diaochan to seduce Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, and then used a chain trick to make Lu Bu kill Dong Zhuo.

After being defeated by Li Jue Guo Si, he retreated to Chang'an, took advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Tao Qian in Xuzhou to capture Puyang with Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, and was defeated by Cao Cao and then went to Liu Bei's side in Xuzhou, and then took advantage of Liu Bei's battle with Yuan Zhi to attack and capture Xuzhou.

Eventually, Liu Bei and Cao Cao joined forces to attack Lu Bu, who was captured in a mutiny and killed after pleading for mercy from Liu Bei.
