Features: The book Romance of the Three Kingdoms is one of the finest literary works. To read Romance of the Three Kingdoms is truly better than reading countless historical tales! The excellence of its foolish deeds rivals that of Records of the Grand Historian, yet the difficulty of its foolish deeds surpasses those of Records of the Grand Historian by twice as much. Records of the Grand Historian treats each state and person separately, resulting in the distinctions of Basic Annals, Hereditary Houses, and Biographies. In contrast, Romance of the Three Kingdoms combines these into a single work. While separation yields shorter and more refined writing, combination produces longer and more challenging compositions.
