Lu Xun once commented on the characters in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his " A brief history of Chinese novels ":" Liu Bei's benevolence, Kong Ming's wisdom, Guan Yu's righteousness, Zhang Fei's bravery, and Zhao Yun's loyalty are all possessed by him.

These qualities were the basic qualities that the characters in the novel possessed, and they were also the qualities that these characters must possess to become great leaders.
Lu Xun's evaluation was reasonable. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei's image was portrayed as a benevolent, generous, and benevolent leader, but his behavior and speech often showed hypocrisy and hypocrisy. For example, in order to appease the people, he often made some hypocritical promises and appeasement measures. This behavior was too hypocritical. At the same time, he often used others to achieve his own goals, which made people feel unfair and hypocritical. In contrast, Kong Ming's image was portrayed as a talented and wise man. He was able to see through every detail of the decision-making and strategy, and he could often turn danger into safety and solve various problems. However, there were also some strange things about his behavior. For example, he often used some strange schemes and means, which made people feel a little unbelievable.

The short story of Liu Bei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is as follows: Liu Bei (161 - 223) was known as the King of Hanzhong. He was one of the founders of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period and also the founding emperor of Shu Han. When Liu Bei was young, his family was in decline. He once shepherded sheep in the wilderness. Later, he got to know Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others. Together, they joined the shogunate of Liu Biao, a relative of the Han Dynasty. After that, Liu Bei left Liu Biao for Jingzhou and joined Liu Bei's army after the Battle of Red Cliff. During his time in Jingzhou, Liu Bei had many exchanges with Sun Quan and gradually realized Sun Quan's strategic intention of fighting Cao Cao together with him. Later, Liu Bei defeated Sun Quan in the Battle of Yiling and obtained Shu and established the Shu Han regime. Liu Bei implemented a series of beneficial policies in governing the country, such as the implementation of "benevolent government","rule of virtue", and emphasis on education, which made Shu gradually prosper. At the same time, he had worked with Zhuge Liang and others to formulate strategies to resist foreign enemies and maintain the stability of the country.

Lu Xun's evaluation of the characters in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the History of Chinese Fictions was reasonable, but it also needed to be analyzed in detail.

His political wisdom also has a certain depth, so we can't simply describe his moral character as "fake". In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Kong Ming was portrayed as an extremely intelligent and talented figure. His ability to govern the country and strategic vision were widely recognized. However, Kong Ming also had some characteristics that were too idealistic. For example, he only wanted to realize his ideals and ignored the analysis and judgment of the actual situation, which led to some of his decisions being blind. Lu Xun's evaluation was reasonable, but it also needed to be analyzed in detail. We should evaluate historical figures from multiple perspectives, both their strengths and weaknesses, in order to better understand their actions and decisions.
