三國志 by Shou Chen
"三國志" by Shou Chen is a historical account written in the late 3rd century. This work chronicles the tumultuous period known as the Three Kingdoms era in ancient China, detailing the lives and struggles of key figures such as Cao Cao (also known as Cao Mengde), who emerges as a prominent warlord and strategist. The book explores themes of power, loyalty, and the chaos of civil war as it captures the intricacies
of personal and political relationships during a time of national fragmentation. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the lineage and early life of Cao Cao, noting his origins from Pei County, and his family's esteemed background as descendants of a high-ranking official from the Han Dynasty. The text hints at his early character traits, including ambition and cleverness, alongside accounts of chaotic events and political maneuvers that define the era. Cao Cao's interactions with other significant figures such as his uncle and notable advisors are illustrated, setting the stage for his later rise to power amid the backdrop of rebellion and war.
