Topic to talk about the ancient Chinese classic, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, set in the, uh, Three Kingdoms period after the fall of the Han Dynasty, a 200-year-long period of civil war and strife.

It's an incredibly badass story, and has been made into countless forms of media. The original novel, a Chinese TV show, video games, there's a manga and probably an anime.

I'm currently reading a children's version of it in Chinese complete with hilariously awesome pictures (all very 'cute' but still featuring people getting like sword'd and arrow'd and stuff).

It's an awesome story.

Zhuge Liang is HAX.

Read the book (in English). Didn't like it as much as the mythological classical novels of China, though god-like Zhuge Liang is very entertaining XD The story got kinda boring after he died... Didn't like the story that much either before Zhuge was introduced ^_~

Yup, there's an anime. It's not the best anime out there, but it's still pretty cool seeing all the old favourite characters. Check out Crossfade at AnimeSuki if you're interested in it. I've seen the first thirteen or so episodes of it. It's pretty interesting.

I sadly read everything in Korean, so I have no idea who you people are talking about when you guys go by the Chinese names.

I did recently find a link of all the heroes from RotTK drawn as females. I don't know whether to be amused or scared =D

Zhuge Liang was made of internet boyfriend and pure sex. Not just because strategists are the most freaking sexy thing ever.

For some reason RoTK appears to be one of the Chinese stories that get worked over plenty of times in anime and related.

There's the rather infamous Ikkitousen, and then now there's Koutetsu Sangokushi (where the characters keep their genders, but are all turned into bishounen with plenty of shounen-ai vibes). And then there's a game out there named Koihime which is the usual "everyone is a pretty girl" (and Zhuge Liang looks ten years old or something), except for Diao Chan, who should probably not be seen.

It boggles the mind.

I have read it countless times. I think I know ALL the generals in the novel by heart.
My favorite character is Tsao Tsao.

I don't know about the books (havn't seen them anywhere - I didn't think they were translated to english?), but I've played quite a few of the games. Very nice games, all of them. I usually play a custom charracter.

Just wanting clerification here. Is the actions in Romance of the Three Kingdoms part of true history - or is it fiction?

Historical fiction. Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, Zhuge Liang... are all historical characters. Stuff like the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Battle of Red Cliffs, etc... it all actually happened.

It's just sort of embellished and made more "fantastic" :P

As a historical narrative, ROTK is worth rather little in my opinion--at least the Mao version, which is what most of us read. You'd best take it with a grain of salt. As a novel, it's great. The first time I read it, I was on a quest for historical truth. Needless to say, ROTK disappointed me in that respect. After doing some independent research, I have become a solid partisan for Wei and Jin. For a good and fair look at the whole affair, I recommend the Moss Roberts edition--the notes in the back do much to correct the bias. I have begun rereading it sheerly for fun, and it is great fun.

Just curious: For those of you who have read the book(s), do you remember relating to a certain character? If so, who? In my case, that would be Sima Yi.

I didn't get to learn this stuff at Chinese school...the education there sucks. And so I learn the history from Dynasty Warriors and some films. I'm so addicted to DW. :oops:

If I compared correctly (and by compare, I mean read the bios of almost every character in Koei's ROTK VIII-X), it's a mix of both.
Some events within the historical battle have changed.
Example: Guan Yu :udgy: did NOT kill Hua Xiong :larry2: at Si Shui Gate. Sun Jian's :neil2: forces did.
Some characters in the book are fictional (but we may never know).
Example: Zhou Cang :javado: (apparently Guan Yu's right hand man)
Example: Ma Yunlu :franny: (Ma Chao's :edgeworth: younger sister who marries Zhao Yun :adrian: wait...I mean :pft:)
However, what can you expect from a dark era "filled with hopelessness" and whatever (-> trying to quote Koei's RoTKVIII) that is a mix of historical records and guess work. Take as much of history as you can and leave the gaps to oral folklore and the imagination, I guess...

(STILL Addicted to RoTKIX...Still taking advantage of the 240 WAR/INT/POL Bug... :keiko:)

I remeber playing Dynasty Warriors 4, the first DW game I played and my friend telling me about Zhange He and his "questionable lay(lie?) within the two boundires of orintation, and I was like, "He is probably over reacting." Finally meet him and then I'm like, "SHUT THE HELL UP YOU LIMEY *****."
note: I didn't acctually say this. And the word used wasn't Limey.
In the end, the truth will prevail.
