A truly great book! A book that lets you properly understand the Three Kingdoms!
I take pride in having read every single version on the market titled "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." The plots are similar, differing only in whether or not they contain detailed situational descriptions. This is because they are based on Luo Guanzhong's *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*. (One must base it on Chen Shou's *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* to be closer to historical facts. Keep in mind that Luo Guanzhong's version contains many falsehoods and exaggerations to entertain the reader
Christmas 2009, Seoul... It rained during the day. I stopped by a bookstore to buy a book before my appointment. I hadn't decided what to buy, but I wanted to read something interesting.

Back in my middle school days, there was a 16-bit IBM PC game called *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*. It was incredibly popular, and I understand that the game has been upgraded and is still enjoyed by many people today.

I once heard someone say, "Men must read *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*." It seemed the book held significant implications for

There is a saying that one should not speak to anyone who has read *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* three times.

Yi Zhongtian: Romance of the Three Kingdoms lecture
*Lectures on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms* is the ambitious work of Yi Zhongtian, who delves into the truth of the *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* by traversing the boundaries of history and literature. Known as a "Chinese Renaissance Man," Yi Zhongtian is a Chinese scholar beloved by both academic experts in various fields and the general public. Having lectured on the *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* on the *Hundred Schools of Thought* program—an ambitious initiative by CCTV, China's state-run broadcaster, under the motto of "popularizing high-level knowledge"—he captivated audiences with his witty remarks and unique insights, instantly rising to become one of China's most talked-about figures. This book compiles Yi Zhongtian's lectures on the *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* that have captivated 1.3 billion Chinese people, showcasing his comprehensive knowledge that freely crosses over literature, art, aesthetics, psychology, anthropology, and history, as well as his profound philosophical contemplation. While discussing diverse and complex characters and events, he masters the *Romance of the Three Kingdoms* in an accessible and entertaining manner. Through Yi Zhongtian's lectures, armed with historical understanding and literary sensibility, this book presents a fresh perspective on the *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*. Yi Zhongtian explains the Three Kingdoms period based strictly on primary sources rather than the novel *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*, and utilizes the commentaries of Pei Songzhi, a prominent scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty, as a primary source. Furthermore, while pointing out instances of distortion and limitations found in Luo Guanzhong's novel *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*, he also introduces the merits unique to the novel. In addition, he has synthesized the views of scholars throughout history who have studied *Records of the Three Kingdoms*, as well as the latest research findings.
