Why is the first part of the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms and Shu not the first biography but th

Because Liu Yan's father and son controlled Western Shu before Liu Bei during the chaos in the world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Chen Shou was a Shu native and had a preconceived concept in his heart. Moreover, Liu Yan's father and son were also royal families of the Han Dynasty.

This preconception is also manifested in the fact that the first article of Wu Zhi is not Sun Quan, who established the state of Wu, but the biography of Sun Quan's father, Sun Jian, and Sun Ce.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is orthodox with Cao Wei. It is believed that Liu Yan, Liu Zhang, Liu Bei, and Liu Chan are not orthodox, and they are all separatist forces occupying the Shu region. So they are classified as "Shu Kingdom".

It's just that Liu Bei and Liu Chan are called emperors, so they are called the first lord and the second lord. Liu Yan and Liu Zhang are state pastors. Liu Yan and Liu Zhang are ahead of Liu Bei, so they are ahead of them.

There is still a difference in the title, Liu Yan and Liu Zhang are Liu Ermu, and Liu Bei and Liu Chan are the first lord and then the master.

Things have a beginning and an end. If you know what to do, you will be short. — University

Before Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Shu was ruled by Liu Yan and his son, and you must know this. The record of history is originally from first to last, not to see who has the greatest merit first. Otherwise, the materials on history compiled after the founding of New China begin with Mao's life.

Done: I hope mine can help you.

Liu Bei is a straw shoe seller, the first two Liu are the authentic Han family, and it is Liu Yan who occupies the land of Shu, the first to divide the territory, not to pay tribute, the first to be similar to the princes when the heroes were divided.

Because in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Shu has no status. Moreover, strictly speaking, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms should not be regarded as a national history of a national nature.

The official name of Shu is Han, Chen Shou has always been called Shu, which is not in compliance with the regular national history, even if it is the previous dynasty that perished, what the name of the country should be recorded according to the truth, and there is no history book that changes the name of the country indiscriminately.

Liu Bei was known as Emperor Zhaolie, and Sun Quan was known as the Great Emperor. Chen Shoudu changed to the ancestor and the lord of Wu, these are all irregular historical records, but no historian will write like this.

Then there are all kinds of sorts, it stands to reason that emperors should write chronicles, and the treatment of Emperor Wu Shu is a biography, which is still said in the past because of the orthodoxy of the Wei and Jin dynasties. But the other biographies are a bit messed up, according to the reason, the biography of the foreign scholars, the biography of the outer Yi, the formal way of writing should be grouped together, written at the back of the national history, and Chen Shou is dismantled and processed, and there are only the biography of the foreign Yi and the geography in the Wei book, and the other two countries are not at all. It is said that Wei and Wu have all the strange scholars, but only Shu does not.

In short, Chen Shou's classification of the Three Kingdoms is very unreasonable, and the wording is also very problematic.

It is unreasonable to put the second pastoral biography in front of the main biography. The Book of Wei is obvious, and Dong Zhuo Eryuan is placed behind the Benji.

Chen Shou may have done this for two reasons:

1. Wei and Shu Han had enmity, but Wu and Wei had no enmity, but it was because of Liu Bei that Cao Cao and Sun Quan turned against each other. The Jin State was orthodox in the Wei Dynasty, so it was also hostile to the Han. And Sima Yi, the founder of the Jin Kingdom, was once quite embarrassed by Zhuge Liang.

In this case, Chen Shou wrote the Book of Wu as the biography of the Lord of Wu and the main biography of the three heirs, and did not use the emperor's name. And Liu Chan does not have a nickname, only called the latter master, the first master and the second master of Shu Shu, which has the meaning of favoring the Han. In this case, in order to reduce the pressure, Chen Shou put the second pastor in front of him, which is a strategy to protect himself.

2. Since the Jin State inherited the orthodoxy of Wei, it was inevitable to attack Han and Wu. Wu is okay to say, because there was already a legend of Sun Poyu in front of Wu Shu (Sun Jian, Sun Ce), plus there were people in the court of Wu State, Lu Ji and Lu Yun could say something good for Wu State, and as I said earlier, Wei Wu had no enmity. Based on these points, there is no need to add anything in front of the Wu book, just don't write the book.

As for Han, it is necessary to strike, so we must add something to the front of the first master's biography. The second pastoral is the best choice.

There may be two additional factors. The first is that Liu Zhang and Cao Cao have a good relationship, nominally Liu Zhang obeys Cao Cao**, and although the road is far away, he still goes to offer from time to time. Maybe someone in the Jin Kingdom mentioned Liu Zhang's father and son to say good things; The second is that Chen Shou is a Brazilian and an authentic Shu person, and he may have a lot of opinions about Liu Bei's deception to destroy Shu.

We can see that although it is not clearly pointed out in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, a large part of the people in the Yizhou Group have quite opinions about Liu Bei. It's just that Liu Bei's success has a lot to do with his ability to attract people's hearts. Liu Bei appeased Huang Quan and Liu Ba, married Wu Yi, and reused Fa Zheng and Li Yan, so that the resentment of the Yizhou group was alleviated to a large extent, but there were still incidents of Meng Da and Huang Quan surrendering.

If it is called Ji Hanshu, the first main biography should be ranked first. However, Chen Shou wrote in the Jin Dynasty, so the Jin Dynasty is orthodox. So it was written in a way similar to that of the local government. If the local government is concerned, it is necessary to write the second Liu in front of the time.

The history told in "Three Kingdoms" is more comprehensive and historical, and about the ranking, it is necessary to take into account the changes of the times and other reasons.

When I was in high school, I was exposed to similar problems, but I didn't listen to them very seriously at the time.

Chen Shou was dissatisfied with the Shu Han regime...

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Shu, Biography of the First Lord" is a biography written by Chen Shou, the author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", for Liu Bei (161 223). It is the second article of the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: Shu Book".
