Please give me an excerpt and appreciation of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The two combined should be more than 200 words in vernacular. Thank you very much.
1 Warming wine and beheading Hua Xiong, suddenly a spy came to report: "Hua Xiong led his iron cavalry down the pass, carried Prefect Sun's red headband on a long pole, and came to the stronghold to curse and provoke a fight." Shao said: "Who dares? Going to fight?" Yuan Shu turned around and said, "Young general, I'd like to go." Shao Xi asked Yu She to ride out. Immediately the report came: "Yu She fought with Hua Xiong and was killed by Hua Xiong." Everyone was shocked. The prefect Han Fu said: "I have General Pan Feng who can kill Hua Xiong." Shao urgently ordered to fight. Pan Feng mounted the horse with a big ax in hand. Not long after leaving, Pegasus came to report: "Pan Feng was killed by Hua Xiong again." Everyone was pale. Shao said: "It's a pity that our generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou have not arrived! Why should we be afraid of Hua Xiong when we are here alone!" Before he finished speaking, someone at the bottom of the steps shouted: "Young general, I am willing to go and chop off Hua Xiong's head and offer it under the tent!" "When everyone looked at him, they saw that he was nine feet long, with a beard two feet long, red phoenix eyes, silkworm eyebrows, a face like a heavy jujube, and a sound like a huge bell, standing in front of the tent. Shao asked who it was. Gongsun Zan said: "This is Liu Xuande's younger brother Guan Yu." Shao asked what his current position was. Zan said: "Follow Liu Xuande and serve as an archer on horseback." Yuan Shu shouted loudly in the tent: "You deceive all our princes and have no generals? How dare you talk nonsense if you measure an archer! Fight with me!" Cao Cao stopped him urgently and said: "Highway Calm down your anger. Since this person has great words, he must be brave. If he tries to teach him, it is not too late to punish him. "Yuan Shao said: "If you send an archer to fight, you will be laughed at by Hua Xiong." Cao Cao said: "This person is handsome. Isn't it commonplace that Hua Xiong knows that he is an archer?" Guan Gong said, "If you don't win, please behead someone." Cao taught him a cup of hot wine and drank it with Guan Gong. Guan Gong said: "Pour down the wine. I'll come as soon as I leave." He went out of the tent, picked up his knife, and flew on his horse. All the princes heard the loud beating of drums and loud shouts outside the pass, as if the sky was shattering and the earth was falling, and the mountains were shaking and the mountains were collapsing. Everyone was shocked. Just as he was about to inquire, at the sound of the luan bell, the horse arrived at the center of the army. Yun Chang picked up Hua Xiong's head and threw it to the ground. The wine is still warm. Later generations wrote a poem praising it, saying: "The most powerful work in controlling the world, the painted drums on the gate of the camp ring every winter." Yun Chang stopped the wine to show his bravery, and when the wine was still warm, he killed Hua Xiong. Cao Cao was overjoyed. I saw Zhang Fei coming out from behind Xuande and shouting loudly: "My brother has killed Hua Xiong, why don't we just rush into the pass here and take Dong Zhuo alive?" Yuan Shu was furious and shouted: "I The minister is humble enough to show off his power to the subordinates of a county magistrate. They all should be driven out of the tent!" Cao Cao said, "How can one be rewarded for his merits?" Yuan Shu said, "Since the only thing that matters is justice." As a county magistrate, I must resign." Cao said, "How can we miss such a big deal just by saying something?" He ordered Gongsun Zan to take Xuande, Guan, and Zhang back to the stronghold. All the officials dispersed. Cao Cao secretly sent someone to drink wine with cows to appease the three of them. Originally, this was a battle scene in which a fighting hero beheaded a general and made a meritorious deed. The general method of writing would always be to close up the battlefield in large capitals. However, here, the author did not write about the battlefield directly, but deliberately wrote about the venue; he placed the battlefield in the venue. I’ll write it later. The atmosphere of the venue and people's emotions were completely controlled by the battlefield. It was like a drama, the scene never changed, the drama was always unfolding in the Chinese military tent, and the battle was held in the backfield. However, the sounds of killing, drumming, and shouting on the battlefield kept shaking the ears and heartstrings of the people at the venue. For example, the beating of drums, the sound of killings, and the defeat of troops and beheading of generals, these battlefield scenes are all heard, and this is a fictional representation; the discussions, quarrels, and dispatching of troops and generals are all scenes at the meeting that are witnessed, and this is a real representation. Another example is that Guan Yu, the central figure in the whole scene, traveled between the battlefield and the venue; the fighting momentum and power of his charge were heard, but they were made up; at the moment of "the sound of the luan bell, the horse arrived at the center of the army", It can be said that it is both heard and seen; the heroic spirit of "lifting Hua Xiong's head and throwing it to the ground" is what is seen, and this is a real description. The people at the venue were sometimes "shocked", sometimes "gloomy", sometimes "frightened", sometimes "overjoyed", sometimes "furious" or "yelling". The various moods of people's agitation and restlessness displayed at the venue are all closely related to the movements on the battlefield. In this way, the battlefield and the venue are closely connected. At the same time, because there is both a meeting place and a battlefield; both hearing and witnessing; there are descriptions of actual scenes and the background of the situation and atmosphere; that is, the so-called reality in the virtual, the virtual in the real, and the combination of virtual and real, it is a perfect combination of reality and reality. The creation of heroic characters plays a role in conveying the power and majesty of the heroes. The specific application of the writing technique of combining virtuality and reality is reflected in this. The combination of virtual and real makes the work extremely refined and reflects a unique artistic style that is different from other war descriptions. First, this kind of artistic technique of actually depicting the venue and virtual battlefield is conducive to achieving greater capacity in a limited space, expanding the content of expression, enriching the thought and art of the work, and not being stuck in isolation. It expresses a person or an event, and at the same time, it can subtly reveal the internal complexity of the coalition of princes through a person or an event, so that the image of the central figure emerges from the complex contradictory relationship. "Beheading Huaxiong" is originally a war. In this limited space, it is necessary to not only describe the war scenes, but also express the complex conflicts and conflicts between various factions, reflect the political nature of the war and the ideological nature of the work, and also highlight the image of the central character. , the author can achieve the artistic effect expected by the author by using the method of realistically depicting the venue and fictitiously depicting the battlefield. Second, writing about the battlefield from the perspective of the venue helps save ink and facilitates choices, reducing many unnecessary descriptions of the battlefield. According to the general way of writing, descriptions of war always directly and positively describe how the soldiers fought and killed with the enemy on the battlefield, the sound of war drums, the roar of war horses, hundreds of rounds of fighting, chasing and fleeing, people falling on their backs, flames, and the sound of killing. Zhentian...etc., as if you were there or saw it with your own eyes. Such battlefield descriptions are not uncommon in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
For example, the description of the war scenes in "The Battle of Red Cliff" falls into this category. However, this is not the case with "Zhan Huaxiong". "Warming Wine and Killing Hua Xiong" also describes war, but it does not write about it blindly. Such as the battles between Hua Xiong and Yu She, Hua Xiong and Pan Feng, Guan Yu and Hua Xiong, etc. It should be said that these are all fierce battles, and the scenes of the battles are all vigorous and earth-shattering. However, the author has omitted all these specific battle processes here in order to capture the expressive points, highlight the wonderful aspects, and achieve the effect of using virtuality to represent reality and using reality to make up for deficiency. The majestic war scenes and atmosphere of the day when the earth collapsed and the mountains collapsed have always strongly shaken the readers' eardrums, and still give readers an immersive experience. The central character Guan Yu's agile and mighty heroic image is still vividly displayed. . It can be seen that the writing technique of combining fiction and reality has been used by the author very skillfully. Third, this method of combining virtuality and reality is conducive to creating a characteristic situation and atmosphere, thereby highlighting the heroic spirit and spiritual power of the central character. The character's personality traits should be integrated into all the character's actions. A fighting hero will naturally have his own character traits in his fighting behavior. The author of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is very good at grasping the heroic character of his characters from their fighting behaviors. Guan Yu's fighting behavior has his own unique style. He does not show his prowess by playing with swords and sticks, punching and kicking, or fighting for hundreds of rounds with bloody courage. Instead, he is known for his fierce spirit and intimidating power, so he often uses quick tactics to show his prowess. His heroic demeanor prevented powerful foreign enemies from approaching him, so he subdued them. If anyone fights with him, he will always raise his sword and his head will fall to the ground, and he will move extremely quickly. Super speed, this is a major feature of Guan Yu's action in battle. In the plot of "Beheading Huaxiong", in order to highlight Guan Yu's "speed" fighting style, the author used a combination of virtual and real techniques to create a characteristic situation and atmosphere, thus making the image of the central character Guan Yu well developed. The contrast can be described as unique. For example, the author does not directly describe how powerful Guan Yu's martial arts are, but only focuses on exaggerating how unstoppable Hua Xiong is and how frightened the princes are, all for the purpose of building momentum. When Guan Yu had a glass of wine that was still warm, he picked up Hua Xiong's head and threw it in front of the Chinese army's tent. Although it does not directly describe Guan Yu's bravery, it creates a characteristic situation and atmosphere through Hua Xiong's bravery and the fear of the princes, which makes Guan Yu's mighty image more vivid and vivid. There are virtual writings and real writings here, real writings about the meeting place and virtual writings about the battlefield; real writings about the results of the battle and virtual writing about the battle process. It can be seen that in order to highlight the characteristics of the central character, it is necessary to create a characteristic situation and atmosphere; to create such a situation and atmosphere, the combination of virtuality and reality is an ideal writing technique; this is also the author's ingenious arrangement. 2. Cao Cao cooked wine and talked about heroes. When he arrived at the small pavilion, he had already set up a set of bottles: a plate of green plums and a bottle of boiled wine. The two sat opposite each other and drank happily. When the wine was half full, suddenly the clouds were overcast and the rain was coming. The follower points to the dragon hanging outside the sky, while Cao and Xuande lean on the railing to watch. Cao Cao said: "Do you know the changes of the dragon?" Xuande said: "I don't know the details." Cao Cao said: "The dragon can be big or small, it can rise or hide; if it is big, it can stir up clouds and spit out mist, and if it is small, it can hide. Form; when it rises, it soars in the universe, and when it is hidden, it lurks within the waves. The dragon rides on the changes of time, and the dragon is an object that can be compared with the heroes of the world. You must know the heroes of the world. Please tell me." Xuande said: "You can recognize the heroes with your naked eyes." Cao said, "Don't be too humble." Xuande said, "Be prepared to be a hero in the world. , It’s really unknown.” Cao said, “I don’t know his face, but I also heard his name.” Xuande said, “Yuan Shu from Huainan is well-prepared, can he be a hero?” Cao said with a smile, “There are dead bones in the grave. Sooner or later he will be captured!" Xuande said: "Hebei Yuan Shao, the fourth generation and the third prince, have many old officials. Now the tiger is in Jizhou, there are many capable men, can he be a hero?" Cao said with a smile: "Yuan Shao is fierce. Cowardly, fond of making plans without making a decision; doing great things but cherishing life; seeing small gains and forgetting one's destiny: he is not a hero. Cao Cao said, "Liu Biao has only a false name and is not a hero." Xuande said: "There is a man of great strength, the leader of Jiangdong - Sun Bofu. Is he a hero?" Cao said: "Sun Ce borrowed his father's name, so he is not a hero." Xuande said: "Is Liu Jiyu from Yizhou a hero?" Cao Cao said: "Although Liu Zhang belongs to the clan, he is the dog's ear of the housekeeper. How can he be a hero?" Xuande said: "What about Zhang Xiu, Zhang Lu, Han Sui and other generations?" Cao clapped his hands and laughed and said, "What a shame for such a mean person!" Xuande said: "Other than this, I don't know the truth." Cao Cao said: "A hero is a man who has great ambitions, a good plan, the ability to contain the universe, and the ambitions of heaven and earth." Xuande said: "Who can be the one?" Cao pointed his finger at Xuande, then pointed at himself, and said: "Today, the only hero in the world is your envoy and Cao Er!" When Xuande heard this, he was startled. The spoon and chopsticks he held in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously. It was about to rain and there was a loud thunder. Xuande calmly lowered his head to pick up the chopsticks and said: "The power of a shock. Even this. Cao laughed and said, "Is your husband also afraid of thunder?" Xuande said: "The saint is bound to change with thunder and wind, how can he not be afraid?" "This story happened after Cao Cao strangled Lu Bu at Baimen Tower and returned to Xuchang with Liu, Guan, and Zhang. Liu Bei said that he was the empress of Zhongshan Prince Jing and the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing. Emperor Xian and Liu Bei talked about being relatives, and called Liu Bei. For the emperor's uncle.
The advisers persuaded Cao Cao to kill Liu Bei as soon as possible to prevent Liu Bei from becoming big in the future. Cao Cao said: "It is within my control, so why should I be afraid?" In fact, he still had concerns. The world knows Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both Tiger and wolf generals, so Cao Cao tested Liu Bei, and the above wonderful scene happened. That day, the wind and rain changed, and dragons hung outside the sky. In today's terms, a tornado occurred. So Cao Cao pointed to the sky as a title, using the dragon's changes and rising and disappearing to allude to the hero's behavior. This pointed to Liu Bei's pain point. Liu Bei He was worried that Cao Cao would regard him as an opponent, or that Cao Cao would regard him as a hero. In that case, not to mention Liu Bei's death if he wants to realize his political ambitions. So when Cao Cao asked him about the heroes in the world, he pretended to be confused, put up defenses everywhere, and even used some other characters to prevaricate, such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, etc. With Liu Bei's mind, how could these useless people come into his eyes? These prevarications were all dismissed one by one by Cao Cao's brief and concise comments, which hit the nail on the head. Did Cao Cao exaggerate and be too conceited? Judging from the plot behind the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao's words fully reflect the foresight of a politician: After Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Huaibei, he was defeated by Cao Cao. He wanted to return the seal to his brother Yuan Shao, but was intercepted and killed by Liu Bei. He died in despair and panic. Forget, even if you want to drink honey water before you die, you will not be able to do so. Yuan Shaokong had a strong army and strong horses. He first destroyed the Great Wall, detained Tian Feng in prison, Guan Ju in the military camp, and Xu You in front of the battle. Finally, he was defeated by Cao Cao in Guandu. Within more than ten years, his three sons were killed by Cao Cao. Liu Biao was falsely called Liu Jun, and he died of worries and thoughts, and his son was even worse than him. Later generations wrote words like this: Liu Jingsheng's son has dolphin and dog ears. Sun Cekong, who was known as the Little Overlord of Jiangnan, died in the third family of Xu Gong. Looking at the endings of these so-called "heroes", how far ahead is Cao Cao's vision? The climax of the short article occurred at the end. When Liu Bei used Tao Hui in front of Cao Cao, Cao Cao did not buy his account. He pointed at Liu Bei and then himself, saying: The hero of the world makes you and Cao Er. The words were so shocking that heroes like Liu Bei also changed their colors and their spoons fell to the ground. There is no one in the world who can see through Liu Bei's mind like this. But the sky will not destroy Liu Bei. Suddenly there is a thunder, and Liu Bei then conceals it and says: "The power of a shock is even greater than this." What a quick-thinking Liu Bei. God favors Liu Bei. If there was no thunder at this time, Cao Cao would immediately penetrate Liu Bei's inner world. Although the two are both heroes, there are still differences in their realms. Thinking of Cao Cao's calm response when he offered the Seven Treasure Sword to assassinate Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei still relied on God's favor! But if Liu Bei really died here, Zhuge Liang would not appear, and those vigorous stories would come to an abrupt end! This description has a total of 732 words. Such a short space brings the two characters to life on the page. One is like a rising dragon, leaping on the clouds, looking at the world. It is said that there is nothing in the world. Cao Cao's words are so arrogant, "I will capture him. If he is not a hero, how can he be a hero?" and so on. And Liu Bei is like a hidden dragon. Because the time has not come, he is still young, and he has to rely on the strength of others. He retreats step by step in conversation. In critical moments, he can be resourceful and overcome difficulties skillfully. He is worthy of what Cao Cao refers to as a hero. The passage of time can wash away many things. The luxurious and noble Tongque Tower is now deserted, and the ancient battlefield of Chibi no longer looks like a golden horse. But one thing has been passed down, the heroism. The stories of glory and heroes are always told from heart to heart.
