The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms was first circulated independently in three books: "Book of Wei", "Book of Shu" and "Book of Wu". In order to avoid confusion between Cao Wei's "Wei Shu" and the Northern Wei Dynasty's "Wei Shu" during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the three books were combined into one book in the sixth year of Xianping (1003) in the Northern Song Dynasty and finally became a book. Therefore, "Three Kingdoms" is the product of cultural reintegration after the separation of the Three Kingdoms. This book completely narrates the historical picture of China's transition from division to reunification in the last hundred years from the end of the Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Jin Dynasty. ?

Chen Shou, the author of "Three Kingdoms", He is a historian of the Western Jin Dynasty. He was rarely eager to learn and was interested in the career of history. He conducted in-depth research on historical books such as Shangshu, Spring and Autumn Annals, Shiji, and Hanshu. In the narrative of "Three Kingdoms", he managed to conceal the truth without losing the truth, and promoted the good without hiding the shortcomings. Various political relationships are complex, and historical and practical issues are entangled. Chen Shou has made great efforts to reflect the historical reality in a tortuous way, which is amazing.
2. Careful screening of historical facts

According to the absurd legends in books such as "Book of Gods", Sun Ce was Xu Gong's assassin and even died of serious injuries. These all reflect his attitude of carefully examining historical facts, being responsible for history, and making careful choices.
