I always thought this was just foreigners who had nowhere to vent their anger and used the Three Kingdoms The novel serves as its own theoretical weapon, bombarding the bodies of the Game of Thrones production team indiscriminately. Later I discovered that this was not the case. Foreigners did indeed have a true love for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
For example, the recently released game "Total War: Three Kingdoms" is of high quality and is a 3A-level masterpiece, which has attracted the attention of many people.
But looking at this name, I still feel something is wrong. Based on my past experience, I think this game is very likely to be a money-making game by foreigners under the banner of the Three Kingdoms, aimed at the wallets of the Chinese people. But after investigating, I discovered that things were not what I imagined.
When the trailer for this game first went online, foreigners couldn’t sit still and exclaimed: Oh my god. As of today, this trailer has been played nearly 3 million times on YouTube alone.
The comment below with the highest number of likes is from a user named Garo. He used the famous saying of the Three Kingdoms and said: "My own wallet will be divided after a long time." A user commented below the message: "I X, you are so fucking right!"

Moreover, foreigners’ love for this game is not just lip service. Even the last wish of an African-American man who unfortunately suffered from leukemia was to play "Three Kingdoms: Total War" before he died.

It seems that the love of foreigners for this game exceeds my imagination. In order to be more He quickly completed the unification and began to fight at night, supplementing the plot of the Three Kingdoms, and spontaneously went to YouTube to learn the history of the Three Kingdoms, preparing to overtake others. For example, the minimalist history of the Three Kingdoms video on YouTube has already had 4.58 million views in just one month.
But how can a minimalist version of the history of the Three Kingdoms satisfy foreigners’ desire to learn like a male dog in heat? On the contrary, they ask questions like crazy on Reddit, trying to greedily learn everything about the Three Kingdoms. , people who know the Three Kingdoms can show off their knowledge on social networks and win people's likes

These foreigners have been enthusiastic about the Three Kingdoms style for a long time. As early as 2003, these European and American fans of the Three Kingdoms established a BBS called Kong Ming to exchange learning experiences.
The original work of "Three Kingdoms" must also be studied carefully. If the translation cannot reflect the essence of "Three Kingdoms", then you have to collect multiple versions on Amazon and compare them to gain a deeper understanding.

After learning the knowledge, he has to discuss the plot of the Three Kingdoms with everyone. Many young foreigners who are full of enthusiasm have fantasized about themselves. Even Changshan Zhao Zilong, how many times can he go in and out of Changbanpo?

Foreigners. The enthusiasm for the Three Kingdoms is not limited to literary interpretation. In their view, the Three Kingdoms is not only a summer reading recommended by high school teachers and university presidents, but also a distant signal and a totem of the East.
In the hearts of different believers, there is a hero of the Three Kingdoms of their own.
In the hearts of many Americans, Guan Yunchang is a hero worthy of worship. Guan Erye holds the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, full of a sense of power and justice. There is no doubt that such a green-robed war god can protect their community and manor.

Some devout people, from Amazon I bought a carved Guan Yu jade and wore it on my body for good luck.
In addition, some foreigners will also buy a Guan Yu as a figurine at home. They do not worship Guan Yu to pray for wealth like the ancient oriental peoples. Instead, they regard Guan Yu as a symbol of strength and a decoration of the family.

There are also foreigners who are not in the garden on Christmas Instead of building a snowman and inserting radishes, they also built a statue of Guan Yu. In the eyes of this family, placing a red statue of Guan Yu at home on Christmas Eve means ensuring peace.
△ ? The green robe of the Shu Han Dynasty was changed into a Santa Claus robe, which can be regarded as a foreign use.
It is not unreasonable for foreigners to worship Guan Yu on Christmas. After all, Guan Erye has great martial arts. In the fighting game of "Clash of the Gods", Guan Yu relied on his long-range Yanyue Sword to float six times at Santa Claus, leaving Santa Claus unable to fight back.
Therefore, in addition to worshiping and worshiping, foreigners also began to learn Guan Erye's handed down sword skills.
Dezhou Laogang put down his Glock, picked up the replica Qinglong Yanyue Sword and began to practice sword skills hard to protect the manor, which perfectly explained: the victorious soldier wins first, and then goes to war.

Even some white-collar workers in the workplace put down their work and use their holidays to practice martial arts, lose fat and gain muscle, and practice anti-wolf fighting skills.
Just imagine, you are walking in Queens, New York with a Qinglong Yanyue Sword on your back. No matter how ruthless the black guy is, he will probably be shaken, let alone swinging the Daguan Sword in the air. The whole ghetto is yours.
However, some Guan Yu fans even set up a ring in the park to compete with other martial arts masters.

For these foreigners who like Guan Yu, Guan Erye is simply these The light of human life is the beacon that guides them to be full of hope in life.
△ ? Even on Youtube, there are Feng Shui videos of foreigners teaching foreigners how to place Guan Yu statues.
In order to follow this beam of light, some foreigners have crossed the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans just to put incense sticks at the entrance of Guan Gong Temple.
△ ? However, according to his friends, he went to the wrong place. The foreigner may have been tricked by the tour group and went to Thailand. The real Guan Yu Temple is still two countries away from him
△? The real Guan Yu believers have arrived at the Guandi Temple in Luoyang, received Guan Yu’s notice in the green smoke, and stood at the foot of the mountain They bought two secret books of Guan Erye's sword skills at the hawker stall.
Not only did they admire Guan Yu as a person, they even sympathized with the ups and downs of Guan Yu's career.
After seeing Guan Gong walking in Maicheng, a reader named Brian Lanning was very sad and depressed, and could not resolve it. He wrote a magnificent article called "The Death of a Hero" in Western Three Kingdoms literature.
When he read about Guan Yu's march to Maicheng, he began to think that the second master would fight back with bravery; but Luo Guanzhong decisively announced Guan Yu's death, and then he said this.

“I threw the book under the bed and rushed outside into the night rain. While smoking, I looked up at the sky. The stars in the sky were dotted with stars, but they could not drive away the darkness in my heart. I wanted to talk to this man named Luo Guanzhong and talk about why he wanted to write the great Martial Saint to death."

"I can't think . The great hero has been defeated, killed, and even beheaded by a group of thugs."
However, not everyone is so enthusiastic about Guan Yu in this Three Kingdoms forum called KongMing. , once initiated a poll to discuss Guan Yu's strength.
△ ? What do you think of Guan Yu? 52 people don’t like Guan Yu and feel that his strength has been overrated.
Who are these people who voted against him? I think, to a large extent, it represents the corporate executives and professional elites who love the Three Kingdoms. For them, Guan Yu, a general, no matter how awesome he looks, is a symbol of bravery and foolhardy.
They have more faith in Cao Cao’s strategic planning. Cao Cao is not only their idol, but also their business mentor and MBA lecturer.
△ ? In their minds, Cao Cao is Tywin Lannister in Game of Thrones, who will do whatever it takes to unify the world
Cao Cao’s strategy and wisdom displayed in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, It has become a rare business wisdom for business managers. They have compiled and translated it into business courses.
In the eyes of the lecturer, Cao Cao not only treated his subordinates equally, but also established an effective KPI mechanism with clear rewards and punishments. In addition, Cao Cao's enterprise, Wei State, has reasonable enterprise planning and is a rare learning case.
As long as it is a management article related to Cao Cao, foreign leaders will applaud it. It feels like reading an article is better than being a boss for ten years.

Even Cao Cao’s classic language has been made into an emoticon package and spread among foreigners’ company groups and parent groups. .

In addition to Cao Cao, in the Three Kingdoms Management class, I also found that Zhang Fei once became a negative teaching material for leaders.
In the course, Zhang Fei drank down the Dangyang Bridge, which is the most typical negative case. It's as if the boss is furious at his employees during a meeting. On the surface, the employees are submissive, but in fact, their productivity is not high.
Guan Yu's attendance at the meeting alone was a successful display of management skills. He wielded a machete to clearly indicate rewards and punishments to employees.
Guan Yu pulls Lu Su to call him brother-in-law, which is to establish a relationship with the core technical personnel. On the one hand, he can establish the prestige of the company, and on the other hand, by controlling the core people, he can reduce the company's operational risks and take advantage of the sail of getting rich. Boat.
This is actually very similar to us in 2000. At that time, when China's economy was growing wildly, bosses eager to pursue a path to wealth also turned their attention to ancient classics to find ways to manage.
Therefore, from this common point of view, it is not difficult for foreigners to like the Three Kingdoms. Everyone has the same value demands and preferences, and they all hope to learn some practices from the classics. of nutrients.
From a historical perspective, good works can find audiences everywhere, and people willing to pay for them can be found anywhere.
In the future, Yihuang Culture will also devote more energy to planning activities and designs to create "national trends". I hope everyone will pay more attention to it and make the cultural output more intense!
