The most popular and influential Japanese version of Chinese The Romance of the Three Kingdoms in modern Japan is Sangokushi Senki translated and adapted by yosikawaeizi. The present article focuses on the image of Guan Yu, with the aim to affirm the agreement with this Chinese novel in the circle of Japanese literature by pointing out one particular feature： the substitute of the ＂ambition＂ with the ＂emotion＂, i.e., the replacement of the aspiration for the ideal future with the lament for the past beauty. A further look into the Japanese classic literature exposes the cause of the above-mentioned trend lies in the traditional beauty of lamentation in the Japanese literature.
