Huang Zhong - in Fiction

In Fiction

Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a historical novel by Luo Guanzhong, was a romanticization of the events that occurred before and during the Three Kingdoms era. In the novel, Huang Zhong was portrayed as an aged but extremely talented warrior, excelling especially in archery.

Huang Zhong was also credited with the slaying of Xiahou Yuan in 219, a prominent general under the warlord Cao Cao, in the Battle of Mount Dingjun, though in reality the latter was most probably killed in the rush of enemy soldiers.

Famous quotes containing the word fiction:

    Space or science fiction has become a dialect for our time.
    Doris Lessing (b. 1919)

    Given that external reality is a fiction, the writer’s role is almost superfluous. He does not need to invent the fiction because it is already there.
    —J.G. (James Graham)
