THE THREE KINGDOMS STORY AND ITS IMPORTANCE FOR CHINESE
Here begins our tale. The empire, long divided, must unite; long united, must divide. Thus it has ever been (Three Kingdoms, Ch. 1).
1. The significance of the Three Kingdoms novel
These opening sentences of Three Kingdoms are a curt if brilliant summary of Chinese history. Three Kingdoms is an historical novel, which is generally based on events that took place during the three warring kingdom period in China (around 220 to 280 A.D.). Focused on the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, the novel depicts the struggle for control of China at the close of the Han dynasty domination. It vividly depicts the evolving struggles that shaped the Chinese history and behaviour later. Though the author did invent events and attributed them to some characters to make them either heroic or evil, most Chinese people take the story as history5.
Even though the author tells us that history is as a river, it runs to where it must, not where people want it to go, in the story, all key characters believed that they were able to make the river of history flow in their favour and devoted their lives to ensure that it did. Drucker (1993; 2003) said that people can "identify only the future that has already happened". Similarly, In China the contribution and influence of the novel are far beyond a literary masterpiece and probably give shape to Chinese cognition. It is a reference book for people of all strands of life, in political and military strategies, and in organizational strategic and HR management among others. In a brief check, which was designed to be indicative and not demonstrative, we asked a group of 72 managers to spell out the names of the Three Kingdoms novel characters that influenced them most and to state the reasons for which they chose them. They all did and came up with a set of answers in which patterns were clear and very similar to what is described in this article.

Answer 1

三国演义及其重要性
故事开头：天下大事，合久必分，分久必合，历来如此
1.三国演义的重要性
小说的起始句是对中国历史的睿智概括。三国演义是一部历史小说，它是根据三国历史创作的（约公元220-280年），囊括了魏蜀吴三个国家，描写了东汉末年三个势力为了统一中国的斗争。小说生动的讲述了战争的演变对后来中国历史和意识形态的影响。虽然作者为了使某些人物形象表现得更英雄化或妖魔化，虚构了某些历史事件，并把这些虚构事件植入到这些人物的故事之中，但是大部分中国人将小说里面的故事视为历史事实。
尽管作者告诉我们历史就像一条长河，它只会流向它该去的地方，而不是人们希望它去的地方，而在故事中，每一个历史人物都坚信他们可以让这条河流到他们想要的地方，并为之付出生命。DRUCKER（1993；2003）说人类只能“认同已经发生的未来”。相似的，三国演义的贡献和影响远远超出一本文学著作的范畴，它极有可能定型了中国人对这段历史的认识。这本书对生命、政治、兵法、战略、和人力资源学方面有参考价值。简单来说，这本小说的创作思路是象征性的，也非写实性的。我们询问了一组由72个公司管理层人士，让他们选出三国演义中对他们影响最大的几个人物，并说明原因。他们都说出了一组答案，这些答案中的人物形象都很明确，与小说中的描写非常相似。

Answer 2

三国故事及其对中国人的重要性
我们的故事开始了。天下，分久必合，合久必分。历来如此。
1. 三国小说的影响
三国演义的开篇简明扼要地叙述了中国历史的灿烂。三国演义是一部历史题材的小说，故事根据中国历史上的三国时期的事件。时间大约在公元\220年到公元前280年。时间集中在魏蜀吴三国，故事描述了汉朝统治末期群雄争相掌控天下的情形，并由此塑造了一段历史和其后的中国人的性格。虽然作者虚拟了诸多事件以使任务或英雄或邪恶，但几乎所有的中国人都相信这就是历史。作者告诉我们历史如长河，自有去向，他人无从干涉，但故事里的主要任务却相信历史可为其掌控，并一生都实践之。Drucker曾经说过人们只会认同已经发生的未来。相同的是，此作品在中国的影响力已经超越了文学巨著的低位，它塑造了中国人的认知。对于所有阶层的人们来说，无论是在政治军事战略方面，还是在企业组织策略以及人力资源管理方面，这都是一部参考书。在一次指导性的而非指示性的简单的检查中，我们要求72位经理写出三国小说里对他们影响最深的任务的姓名并陈述理由。他们照做了，并提出了一系列的答案，模式很清晰，恰恰与本文所描述的内容相似。
