I bought a copy of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I can t understand it, can anyone provide me w

Frequently turn to reference books such as "Etymology".

Historical Records, Hanshu, and Zizhi Tongjian all have vernacular translations, but there does not seem to be one in the Three Kingdoms. Because the text of "Three Kingdoms" is relatively brief, the annotations written by Pei Songzhi are several times that of the main text, and it is also in classical Chinese, and its value is not below the text. Therefore, it is not enough to translate the text alone, but it is difficult to translate it together with the annotations, and it is difficult to arrange the text, which is probably the reason why I have not seen the vernacular translation of the Three Kingdoms with the annotations.

You probably listened to Yi Zhongtian's commentary on the Three Kingdoms, and you were fascinated by it, but you didn't understand it directly when you read the original text of "Three Kingdoms". I think you can take advantage of this opportunity to "hard" bite into classical Chinese, and of course you can diligently turn to reference books such as "Ciyuan". Because once these historical masterpieces are translated, they become like boiled water, not to mention that there are many translations that are wrong.

Otherwise, you should go to the vernacular translation of the vernacular text of Zizhi Tongjian, volumes 58 to 81, which is roughly the same time as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

It's a good idea to find a language teacher who is proficient in classical Chinese and history.

The Old Chinese Dictionary is not bad.

Biography (not all characters) Documentary**。。。

In fact, at present, the best version is the "Three Kingdoms" by Zhonghua Book Company, and the best version of the twenty-four histories is the current set of Zhonghua Book Company, which was proofread by Gu Jiegang and others, instructed by Grandpa Mao, and supervised by ***. The scientific name is "Twenty-four History", there are hardcovers, and that set is not sold in retail, if you only buy "Three Kingdoms", it is not suitable. Paperback is sold in retail, which is a little green skin.

However, because it was a reprint of the old version many years ago, the printing quality was not high, it was blurry, the ink was uneven, and the paper was not good. At present, the new revised edition of the twenty-four histories of this set of point school books is being listed one after another, the hardcover and paperback of the newly revised version of "Historical Records" are available, and "Three Kingdoms" and "Book of the Later Han Dynasty" will be launched one after another, I think it is undoubtedly the best choice if you buy it alone, but the speed of Zhonghua Book Company is uncertain, and it is not clear which one will come out next, but I don't know when it will come out.

History books like "Three Kingdoms", in fact, it is best not to translate, not to mention the uneven quality of translation, and it will affect your mastery of ancient texts.

is the following "Three Kingdoms", followed by the newly revised version of "Historical Records", which is very good from printing to paper, and the collection is very suitable.

The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms was written by Chen Shou, a historian of the Western Jin Dynasty, which recorded the history of the Three Kingdoms period in China, and was also one of the highest-rated "first four histories" among the 24 histories.

"Traveling in the Three Kingdoms" is not only a historical masterpiece, but also a literary masterpiece. On the basis of respecting historical facts, Chen Shou dismantled the sedan chair and drew portraits of the characters of the Three Kingdoms for us in concise and beautiful language, and the characters were very vivid. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is carefully reviewed, and the author has carefully examined and carefully selected historical facts, and has conducted a strict review of unreliable materials, without arbitrary comments and compilation.

Although this makes the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" have the characteristics of concise words, it also causes the shortcomings of insufficient historical materials of key characters.
