刘备并不好哭——解析刘备在《三国志》及裴注与《三国演义》中的哭泣

Liu Bei is not Fond of Crying——An Analysis of Liu Bei's Crying in The History of the Three kingdoms and Pei Songzhi's Notes and The Romance of the Three Kingdoms

史籍《三国志》及裴注记载刘备因六件事而涕泣,而小说《三国演义》却说他因三十件事而哭泣近百次。史籍中刘备哭泣的原因主要是痛惜人才;小说夸大、渲染刘备的哭是为了突出他的仁德、义气,其效果则是毁损了刘备的形象。逆境中成长壮大的刘备并不轻易哭泣,哭泣不是历史人物刘备的性格特点。

According to the historical records of The History of the Three Kingdoms and Pei Songzhi's notes,Liu Bei wept for six things,while he cried for nearly 100 times for 30 things in the novel of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.This author explains the main reason why Liu Bei cried in the historical records is that he lamented talents.The novel exaggerates Liu Bei's crying in order to highlight his benevolence and righteousness.However,the actual effect was to damage Liu Bei's image.Liu Bei who grew up in adversity did not cry easily.As a historical figure weeping is not Liu Bei's personality characteristic.
