Book Description
Description of Red Cliff Red Cliff is an exciting new historical novel based on the famous battle of Red Cliff as told in the Chinese classic, Three Kingdoms, complete with helpful footnotes. It is written to read like a modern action novel in an easy to read version of the story and will appeal to modern readers. Its list of main characters in the front of the book and their role in the tale is considered very helpful by all readers. Rich in dialog, the reader will feel like a fly on the wall, seeing and hearing the plans, strategies and events by the people who actually had a role in implementing them. Red Cliff is an epic Chinese historical novel. Red Cliff is the historical account of a great battle and the events leading up to it, for domain over China by warlords almost 2,000 years ago. It recounts in vivid historical detail the turbulent years at the close of the Han Dynasty, when China broke into three competing kingdoms and over half the population were either killed or driven from their homes. The strategies discussed and implemented throughout Red Cliff by its leaders and advisors such as Zhuge Liang, are marvels of the imagination. Part myth, part fact, part legend, readers will experience the loyalty and treachery, the brotherhood and rivalry of China's legendary heroes and villains during the most tumultuous period in Chinese history. The story of Red Cliff is considered a classic in Chinese literature. Red Cliff is well known by millions throughout Asia today. And people love the story even more since the movie "Red Cliff" was shown in Asian movie houses and it became the most watched movie in China. Red Cliff is not just great literature, many Chinese view the story as a guide to success in life and business as well as a work that offers great moral clarity-while many foreigners read it to gain insights into Chinese society and culture. From this saga readers will learn how great warriors motivate their troops and enhance their influence, while disguising their weaknesses and turning the strengths of others against them. The story introduces Liu Bei and his sworn brothers-in-arms Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, whose allegiance is sorely tested in a society that is in flux where each group is fighting for its survival against the other. On this book's cover is an image of Liu Bei's senior advisor, Zhuge Liang, regarded as a genius of military strategy. He was known as Master Sleeping Dragon.

The Halberd at Red Cliff
Author: Xiaofei Tian
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 1684170923
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
"The turn of the third century CE—known as the Jian’an era or Three Kingdoms period—holds double significance for the Chinese cultural tradition. Its writings laid the foundation of classical poetry and literary criticism. Its historical personages and events have also inspired works of poetry, fiction, drama, film, and art throughout Chinese history, including Internet fantasy literature today. There is a vast body of secondary literature on these two subjects individually, but very little on their interface.The image of the Jian’an era, with its feasting, drinking, heroism, and literary panache, as well as intense male friendship, was to return time and again in the romanticized narrative of the Three Kingdoms. How did Jian’an bifurcate into two distinct nostalgias, one of which was the first paradigmatic embodiment of wen (literary graces, cultural patterning), and the other of wu (heroic martial virtue)? How did these largely segregated nostalgias negotiate with one another? And how is the predominantly male world of the Three Kingdoms appropriated by young women in contemporary China? The Halberd at Red Cliff investigates how these associations were closely related in their complex origins and then came to be divergent in their later metamorphoses."
