Features: At the beginning of the book, the author vividly depicts the massive Yellow Turban Rebellion that swept across the country, analyzing and evaluating Zhang Jiao and Zhang Lu as heroic figures. The author argues that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was a negation of the Eastern Han feudal dynasty and a transition to a new unification, and in this sense, the history of the Three Kingdoms can be said to have been pioneered by the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The book uses detailed historical records to portray, narrate, and comment on the main figures of the Three Kingdoms. In chapters such as "The Emperor Liu Bei Who Rose from Humble Origins" and "A Son Should Be Like Sun Zhongmou," the author overturns the common prejudice that "Liu Bei and Sun Quan were merely mediocre figures," highly praising their political leadership skills. The article "Cao Cao's Brilliance and Deceitfulness" objectively analyzes the dual nature of Cao Cao's personality.
