1-0, and cultural output continued. Chengdu, which has a rich cultural heritage, has nurtured many cultural celebrities, and countless masters have splashed their pens and ink here, leaving behind famous works. Interestingly, there are endless discussions on social media about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" becoming a "book of life" for Koreans. Interestingly, Zhao Chenglong, a reporter from South Korea, introduced to reporters that he knew "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", knew the stories that happened in this land of Chengdu, and was particularly interested in it. Chengdu and Liu Bei have a fate that has been passed down through the ages. Liu Bei entered Chengdu at the age of 53, became emperor in Chengdu at the age of 60, and died at the age of 62. Apart from the time he went out to fight, the years he actually spent in Chengdu were only about four years together. But here he "shao's highlights" and left the eternal Ji Han's feelings for the world.

The reporter checked the information and found that the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in South Korea, which is usually referred to as China, has been widely popular since it was introduced to South Korea more than 600 years ago. Koreans regard it as an indispensable study book and even a "life book" in social life. The Korean literary community even praised it as a "classic of the East." What is the unique charm of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to Koreans? "There are many translations of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in South Korea, and have been published in many forms, such as animation, books, and cartoons. Every Korean who knows "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will basically understand the story of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's three charity." Speaking of this, Zhao Chenglong can also perfectly "replicate" the names of the three people in Chinese.

In modern times, many well-known Korean writers have translated "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Koreans' love for "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has given birth to a huge publishing market. At present, more than 2,000 related books have been published, covering many fields such as novels, history, economy, psychology, education, diplomacy, leadership and self-improvement. Koreans learn allusions through these books and use them in daily conversations. If someone knows nothing about the "Three Kingdoms", they may even be joking: "You are not a Korean, are you?" This shows how far-reaching its influence is. "But now fewer Korean young people read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and many are aged 30-40." Zhao Chenglong added. Jiangyuan FC fans in the stands are reported that in this match, 30 fans from South Korea, 70 Koreans studying or working in China, and many Korean journalists came to Phoenix Mountain to watch the game.
