On New Historicism Writing in Romance of the Three Kingdoms
As a discourse act,Romance of the Three Kingdoms was influenced and controlled by Confucianism,the mainstream and dominant power discourse and ideology of the government at that time,indicating the writer's value judgement and emotional attitude.Traditional historians were concerned with historical events,experiences,and lessons,while New Historicism is more concerned with how history is interpreted and written.As a historical novel and historical writing,Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a successful novel by applying subjective imagination and historical fiction based on historical facts.Unlike traditional great narrative of historical writing,New Historicism focuses on"small figures"and"small things"under the background of"great history",which are occasionally presented in the depiction and description of marginal figures and strange anecdotes in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.The female writing and images which are quite different from the traditional ones in Romance of the Three Kingdoms can be regarded as a pioneer of New Historicism and modern feminism.
