Foreigners in the eyes of the Three Kingdoms characters (super funny)

2006-07-06 10:55:48 21CN Game Channel

Note: Three Kingdoms is a computer game by Everbright.

Westerners' understanding of China tends to be limited to the three periods of the Tang Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, and ****productivist China, and as a result

misses out on the interesting history hidden in the rest of China's history. So when we first meet the heroes of Three Kingdoms

with their huge weapons, it's hard to distinguish them from Ryu and Ken or any other Japanese samurai

, or to understand how Asia as a whole - and perhaps this interest is more pronounced in East Asia - has a strong interest in the Three Kingdoms era interest

how fanatical it was. So persistent is this fervor that a Chinese friend of mine of Chinese descent has said that a Chinese who doesn't know

about the Three Kingdoms is like a Chinese who doesn't know about Manny Ramirez and Ortiz. Ramirez and Ortiz is

as incredible as a Boston Red Sox fan.

Sadly, our knowledge of the Tri-State happens to be on par with most Chinese people's familiarity with Ramirez

. A lot of my friends like to play Three Kingdoms, and when I ask them why, they just reply, "

It's cool," "It's cool," or worse: "I like to hack and slash indiscriminately. " (The latter really shouldn't be playing the game

he should be watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre). It's one of those embarrassing things where we love a

thing so much we have no idea what it is. It's always reminiscent of the **** and the Party's

dumbass sitting in the White House right now, who loves Iraq but has no idea what weapons are hidden there, and whose excuse is

just "likes to mow people down".

So I felt the need to do some research to avoid this embarrassing situation and share it with you. That way

the next time a Chinese person asks us "What do you think of Lu Bu?" we won't just answer "Oh

yeah, he's not a bad guy". To that end, I gathered some relevant English materials and was lucky enough

to find Dr. Moos Roberts' translation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Although I didn't have time to read it all, as a

tool book with an index of names, it was very helpful for my research.

This essay is not intended to be a general history of the Three Kingdoms on a grand scale, like Tacitus or Gibbon, but rather, through an introduction to

some of these heroes - the vast majority of whom appear in the Three Kingdoms of the Three Kingdoms - to that one great

era by giving a sense of what it was like. That way, the next time you're chatting about the Three Kingdoms at a friend's party, you can

pretend to say to them offhandedly, "Hey, Maidi, you're wrong, want to bet ten bucks?"

Cao Cao

There's no doubt that Cao Cao isn't good, but that's limited to in-game. In reality Cao Cao was a devastatingly

powerful monarch with the size of Napoleon who ruled over nearly one-half of China and had

chances to take over the other one-half. People were often impressed by the king's charisma and ambition, and frightened by

his temperamental personality. His enemies even called him "Nero of the East" (。。。。。。

As a prime example, he warned his guards, "I like to kill people in my dreams, so please don't

come near me." As a result, when one of the guards tried to approach to pull the covers back for him, he was killed

by the sleeping monarch. It is said that both Cao Cao himself and his assassins naively believed that this tactic would be an effective deterrent to assassination

, and that no one dared to risk their lives by approaching him ever again. This tradition of violence was carried on in Cao Cao's army,

and a hostage-taking incident in Wei was a high-risk affair, as the troops were given direct orders by Cao Cao

to kill the hostage-taker along with the hostage.

This penchant for killing occasionally affected his ministers, such as Xun Yu, who was forced to commit suicide because he opposed his plan to

kill the last emperor of the Han dynasty, and Yang Xiu, who was executed simply for using the phrase "chicken leg" as a common password. --Presumably Cao Cao himself felt fooled, or he simply didn't like chicken legs

. Even his attending physician -- Hua Tuo, the most famous doctor of the Three Kingdoms era -- was not immune to death; for he

proposed a craniotomy so bold that Cao Cao considered it tantamount to murder. Which is

understandable; after all, it was the third century A.D., and Cao Cao had the right to say no. (Y。。。。。。。 )

The other side of the tyrant was a talented poet, who, along with his two sons, became known as "the three

greatest Cao poets". Many of his poems have survived to the present day, and one sees in them

a humanist anti-war activist -- though the poet also occasionally took potshots at poetry critics, something that has become a tradition in modern New York.

Despite Cao Cao's known ****ty brutality, many heroes rallied to his cause because he was, after all,

an undeniable leader and militarily gifted. Cao Cao's rise to power was a tortuous and grueling

process; he first appeared as one of the eighteen local lords crusading against Dong Zhuo and took advantage of the opportunity to expand

his power. One of his policies in the economic sphere, cantonization, eventually helped him solve a deadly logistical problem,

and "holding the emperor hostage" made other lords afraid to act rashly for fear of the emperor's safety. After a long campaign, he gradually eliminated most of the lords in northern China, such as Yuan Shao, Zhang Xiu and Tao Qian, and positioned his army on the northern bank of the Yangtze River in an attempt to defeat Wu and Shu in the south.

This aggression was stopped in time when his navy ( ) was devastated at Red Cliff, and it was Zhou Yu (。。。。。。), a commander with a taste for music, who defeated him

as a dividing line, the expanding Wei empire reached its limits. In the war that followed, Cao Cao managed to stop counterattacks by Shu

and Wu on the southern border, but lost a large swath of land in the northwest. History books interpret this decline

as Cao Cao's own senility. Nonetheless, Cao Cao died leaving behind a solid empire guarded by many

heroes.

Like the expansive empire that grew, Cao Cao's private life was characterized by a strong aggressive style. Cao Cao's family has

always

had a tradition of stealing other people's wives, which may have stemmed from certain traits of the barbarians of the north ( ). Cao Cao himself

once forced himself to spend the night with the wife of a surrendered leader named Zhang Xiu, only to have an enraged Zhang Xiu revolt and attack

Cao Cao's residence, resulting in Cao Cao's loss of a loyal chief of guards, Dian Wei, and his nephews; and during the

war against Lu Bu, Cao Cao commandeered the wife of one of Lu Bu's generals, Qin Yilu, this time enraging a general who also favored

Lady Qin, a woman with the same fondness for

Lu Bu's wife.

Qin's wife, Guan Yu, who eventually chose to leave Cao Cao and killed five of his guards ( ); and an unconfirmed rumor that he even took an interest in Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, and for that reason launched a war of aggression against the state of Wu --

just as Menehraus did in the crusade against Troy ( *). &^&%%%$%$%$#^&%.........) . Da Qiao was the consort of Wu's

emperor's brother, while Xiao Qiao was Zhou Yu's wife, and we can now imagine why Cao Cao suffered that

disastrous defeat.

And Cao Cao's son, Cao Pi, inherited this lineage from his father perfectly: his wife was originally Yuan Shao's second

son's wife, Consort Zhen, whom Cao Pi took for himself as a trophy after the decisive Battle of Guandu.

That wasn't the end of it, however, because Cao Pi's younger brother, Cao Zhi, who also possessed Cao Cao's genes, took an interest in his brother's

wife as well and wrote cryptic love poems to express his longing. Cao Pi therefore imprisoned Cao Zhi and ordered him to make a poem within seven paces or die. Chinese poetry was very short, usually only four lines long,

so Cao Zhi escaped death by virtue of his talent. Thank goodness the Chinese -- especially Cao Pi --

- didn't know about sonnets back then

Liu Bei

Liu Bei's ethnicity has always been a widely debated topic, and according to the history books his earlobes were described as so large that they could hang down to his shoulders

and the length of his arms could even touch his knees without bending over. I think Garnett or Admiral Robinson

would have barely been able to do the latter, and I've only seen similar examples of long earlobes on some of the Indian statues of Buddha that are works of art

. So my conclusion is that, if Chinese historians aren't exaggerating, then

Liu Bei may have been a big man of Indian ancestry who met the criteria for the NBA draft and had a return to his ancestry, since

According to anthropology, it's impossible for a modern race to have both of these traits at the same time.

Liu Bei's life is full of contradictions and mysteries; he claimed to be a member of the royal family, but came from an ordinary hand

industrialist, and his genealogy only proves that he is extremely distantly related to the royal family of the Han Dynasty. But that didn't

prevent Liu Bei from becoming an ambitious politician, with a knack for communicating, a high level of energy, and a knack for inspiring the masses with fervent speeches

; and his royal status provided allegiance to the remnants of the Han dynasty's royalists. So

soon a group of heroes converged on him, including Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun. Unfortunately,

Liu Bei's poor military prowess canceled out his interpersonal successes, and he spent the first half of his life drifting among the great lords -- even Cao Cao and Sun Quan -- as if he were Napoleon of St. Helena

: noble and respected, but with nothing to lose.

This dilemma persisted until the Battle of Red Cliff, when Liu Bei was given one of the wisest

Richelieu-style chancellors of the Three Kingdoms period, and indeed of Chinese history, Zhuge Kongming. Liu Bei's lack of planned military actions were corrected in time, and Zhuge Kong

Ming predicted the future strategic balance of power and planned his attack on Sichuan accordingly, and this time they succeeded

. But soon this victory was betrayed by Wu, and an angry Liu Bei stubbornly decided to teach Wu a lesson and refused

to listen to anyone. As a result, he was defeated by another young Wu general, Lu Xun, and died

as a defeated man in the city of Baidi.

When commenting on Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and another monarch, Sun Quan, the Chinese always like to use the phrase Right Timing, Right Place, Right People to describe their respective styles. While Cao Cao had the right timing, Sun Quan had the right place, and Liu Bei was recognized as a master of winning people's hearts. His team included nearly all of his contemporaries, and in addition to Zhuge Kongming, Liu Bei had five outstanding generals known as the "Five Tiger-like

Generals," three of whom joined Liu Bei's fraternity at the outset. Brotherhood

Brotherhood is an ancient Chinese tradition in which any number of people can join in a ceremony called "sworn brotherhood" and swear eternal loyalty to the other members. Though not legally recognized, the relationship is accepted by the vast majority of the population. "While the first four members of the Five Tiger Generals are undisputed, my friend Terry

insists that the fifth member is Wei Yan, not Huang Zhong, who, he claims, is too old to be a mentor, but is in no way fit to be a member of the Five Tiger Generals. I have repeatedly researched the sources and consulted

separately

several unaffiliated people of Chinese descent, and they all agree that Huang Zhong is the fifth member, and that Wei Yan is nothing more than an

ambitious war-monger.

Liu Bei was not a homosexual, as some have suggested, which is a widespread misconception, but he did care more for men

than for women. Liu Bei and Cao Cao behaved quite differently: while Cao Cao showed an unusual interest in women -- especially

other people's wives -- Liu Bei rarely cared for his own. He

had three wives, one of whom was also the sister of Wu emperor Sun Quan. Yet the historical record shows that each of Liu Bei's

defeated routs left his wives behind to slip away first, until the chivalrous enemy handed

them back to Liu Bei. When his third wife - and Sun Quan's sister, Sun Shangxiang - attempted to flee back to

Wu, he simply asked that his son be left behind, letting his wife go; and even

at times his son also seemed less important. During the great retreat at Chang Ban Po (a battle from which the tragic state of Liu Bei's army is completely

not expressed in Three Kingdoms Without Predecessors), Zhao Yun rescues his son Liu Chan back to the main

base camp, where Liu Bei wrestles the innocent baby to the ground, saying that it is not worth exchanging for the life of one of my precious generals.

In contrast to Liu Bei's indifference to his wife and son, he cared y for his brothers: when two of his brothers,

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, were killed by Wu, who had betrayed the alliance, he reacted furiously, going so far as to mobilize the entire force of the emerging state of Shu to punish Wu, a disastrous decision that resulted in the destruction of all of Shu's elite troops. Incidentally

Mention should be made of the fact that three of the Five Tiger Generals died in the battle.

The monarch turned into a philosopher on his deathbed, saying many philosophical things but not saying a word about his

defeat. Zhuge Liang served as regent and maintained this troubled state until forty years

later.

Sun Quan

There is not much to say about this monarch, who was on a par with Cao Cao and Liu Bei. While Cao Cao and Liu Bei were fighting for

their respective goals, Sun Quan did nothing - the kingdom of Wu was actually the property of his father and brother

which he simply inherited as a matter of course.

According to historical records, Sun Quan looked nothing like his family, and his blue-eyed, purple-bearded physiognomy could easily make

people doubt the purity of his lineage. Considering that China had already had extensive contacts with Central Asia by that time, I

cannot rule out the possibility that one of Sun Jian's favorites came from the Persian Empire. In China, foreign blood was not something that was not

accepted by the imperial family, so Sun Quan's ascension to the throne was not interfered with by any racists.

Sun Quan was the longest-ruling monarch of the Three Kingdoms period, and he had smooth sailing except for two early threats

from Cao Cao and Liu Bei. This monarch fell into the usual rut of the elderly in his later years and became

very violent; he liked to hide out on his farm to receive guests and often waged foreign wars for no reason at all --

which usually failed. (En 。。。。。 Farm 。。。。。 Crawford?.

)

Lv Bu

Lv Bu is the perfect character, he's a tough guy with a strong "Hummer" vibe; he's got the best girlfriend; he's got the widest range of attacks, the highest attacking power, and the most powerful sequences; and he can always be found riding the luxurious

Red Rabbit Horse. p>Red Hare. A standard college football quarterback!

These are all things the game tells us. But as an avid Lu Bu supporter I was saddened to discover

that historically my idol was not as good as I thought he was - at least not morally reputable. China has always been

strongly patriarchal, and respect for one's elders, especially one's father, is so important that violating this code would be

considered treasonous. Sadly, Lu Bu broke this code, twice.

His earliest father's name was Ding Yuan, a small lord in the north. When Ding Yuan was involved in a military conflict with Dong Zhuo

Dong Zhuo saw Lu Bu's talent and tempted him with the Red Hare horse. As all 18- and 19-year-old men

can't resist the charm of a Harley, Lu Bu was y enamored by the purebred date-red stallion;

as a result, he killed Ding Yuan and recognized Dong Zhuo as his rightful father, and received the stallion as a reward. Lu Bu and Dong

Zhuo lived in harmony for a long time, until Diao Zen appeared.

Diao Zen, the Chinese Cleopatra, sparked a fight between the men, which resulted in Lu Bu killing

Dong Zhuo and recognizing Diao Zen's father, Wang Yun, as his father. Wang Yun, himself a royalist, skillfully exploited men's

jealousy to understand the threat that Dong Zhuo posed to the Eastern Han royal family. Unfortunately, this didn't last long, as Wang Yun was soon

killed by Dong Zhuo's vengeance-minded men and Lu Bu was defeated - yes, you heard right, Lu Bu was defeated

- and he took Diao Zen with him on a wandering career.

Lv Bu's notoriety for killing his two fathers brought him much trouble of his own; lords everywhere considered him untrustworthy

even Zhang Fei once called him a lowly slave who had been sold to three masters. Lu Bu's record of treachery

didn't end there, as he betrayed his good friends Zhang Yang and Liu Bei, and seized territory under the latter's control, and at one point, a portion of Cao Cao's stronghold. Feeling threatened, the lords once again

joined forces, and Cao Cao and Liu Bei attacked Lu Bu's Xuzhou, while Yuan Shu, the only one who could help, refused to

send troops. Lu Bu was once again defeated, and even he himself was captured. His attempts to beg for immunity from death were almost

accepted by Cao Cao; Liu Bei then invoked the precedent of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, which resulted in Lu Bu being sentenced to death after all.

Diao Chan faded into obscurity after Wang Yun's death, so we don't know exactly what happened to her after Lu Bu's death. Considering

Cao Cao's penchant for other people's wives, perhaps she was also taken into his harem. Another interesting theory

states that Diao Chan went to become a nun after Lu Bu's death, but once again she intended to use her beauty to

seduce Guan Yu. Unfortunately, Guan Yu shared his lord Liu Bei's lack of interest and care for women, and simply killed her with the

famous Green Dragon Crescent Sword. Considering Shu's traditions on gender, this legend must have some basis in fact, if not in truth

.

In the end, I conclude that Lu Bu was always like a quarterback on a college football team -- very strong, not much of a

brain, and notorious.

Zhuge Kongming

Zhuge Kongming is one of the most storied figures in Chinese history, a resourceful genius who achieved a staggering number of things

. He controlled the climate like Merlin; he was a master of Dramatic astrology;

his military cunning rivaled that of Edward Longshanks; his political skills were as good as Richelieu's; and lastly

he was as much of an inventor of science and technology as Leonardo da Vinci. In China, the way people praise someone's intelligence is

"You are as wise as Zhuge Kongming."

Liu Bei's hiring of Zhuge Kongming was quite dramatic. They had an interview, but the positions of the guests of honor were reversed

The interview was held by Zhuge Kongming, the employee, while Liu Bei sat in the seat of the interviewee. Zhuge Kongming

acted extremely arrogant and deliberately ducked out on two separate occasions. Liu Bei showed amazing patience with men and finally

succeeded in meeting Zhuge Kongming on the third occasion. Zhuge Kongming showed Liu Bei a battle plan that had already been devised

that saved Liu Bei's group from near extinction. Liu Bei was satisfied with Zhuge Kongming's ability

and Zhuge Kongming was satisfied with Liu Bei's patience, so the smartest and most arrogant man in Chinese history finally

became Liu Bei's chief minister and maintained the state of Shu for many years.

Zhuge Kongming's arrogance also manifested itself in his contemptuous attitude toward traditional Chinese morality. Every

book I could find on China states, "China has traditionally emphasized moral development and has despised scientific and technological progress. In the eyes of Confucius and Lao Tzu, the two philosophers who built the spiritual foundation of the Chinese people, technological progress would make

man cunning, which would in turn hamper his achievements in morality." Zhuge Kongming clearly disregarded these

frames of his ancestors, and not only did he act imperturbable in front of Liu Bei, completely disregarding Confucius' admonition to "be

respectful to the king"; he also focused a great deal of his energies on scientific and technological inventions.

He invented the crossbow, which could fire ten arrows at a time, and which the West was still

a hundred years later fearfully referring to as a cursed weapon; and he invented two - or perhaps one - crossbows. -

automatic machines that could be used to dramatically improve the efficiency of transporting grain. Zhuge Kongming had also invented landmines against the southern barbarian

clans, which were perhaps the world's first heat weapons. Part of the credit for this should go to his wife

Huang Yueying.

The members of the State of Shu all had strange attitudes toward women: Liu Bei was largely indifferent to his three wives, Guan Yu killed Diaochan without pity

, Zhang Fei never had any contact with women, and Zhao Yun quite simply rejected the love of a

noble's surviving wife. Zhuge Kongming, probably the only exception in this group of heroes, married a woman and

loved her. His wife, Huang Yueying, is a beautiful elfin sorceress in Three Kingdoms Undying, but in reality

is an ugly, unattractive noblewoman. Zhuge Kongming fell in love with her because the two had

the same interest in engineering

, and this kind of spiritual love was a unique case in the Three Kingdoms period. Zhuge Liang Kongming's hair

Ming has Huang Yueying's contribution.

Zhuge Liang's death was extremely dramatic. After Liu Bei's death he had been working to defeat the Wei empire in the north, and to that end had waged

six wars, each of which had failed for different reasons. The last war took place at Wuzhangyuan, where

Zhuge Kongming's health was deteriorating so badly that he used a mysterious astrological technique to beg the heavens to prolong his life

. When a Shu general, who was in a hurry to report on the military situation, accidentally stepped on the structure of the prayer ceremony, Zhuge Kong

Ming took it as a sign that the gods had rejected his request and gave up praying. A few days later, this

celebrity with countless legends died of illness.
