China's oldest novel
3 min read
Romance of the Three Kingdoms, by Luo Guanzhong, is China's oldest novel and the first of a great tradition of historical fiction.
In 220 EC,
the 400-year-old rule of the mighty Han dynasty came to an end
and three kingdoms contested for control of China.
The novel first appeared in print in 1522.
This epic saga of brotherhood and rivalry, of loyalty and treachery, of victory and death, forms part of the indelible core of classical Chinese society and Chinese culture and continues to fascinate modern-day readers.
But there followed a terrific tempest, thunder, hail, and torrents of rain, lasting till midnight and working havoc on all sides. Two years later the earth quaked in Capital Luoyang, while along the coast a huge tidal wave rushed in which, in its recoil, swept away all the dwellers by the sea. Another evil omen was recorded ten years later
