发帖数: 2133 | 3 Exploring the Three Kingdoms:
The Classic Chinese Novel and
Sanguosha the Card Game
Course Description:
The Three Kingdoms period, which spanned from AD 184 to 280, was a time
filled with war and turmoil due to competing powers which vied for control
over China. Wei, Wu, and Shu make up the dominant rival powers in this
period, thus giving the Three Kingdoms era its namesake. The Three Kingdoms
period of Chinese history pervades throughout Chinese culture. The Chinese
often refers to this period in their everyday speech (the common Chinese
saying 說曹操，曹操到, translated as “speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives”
provides a good example). Popular media that are inspired by or portray this
period of Chinese history are commonly found throughout China today. Some
of this media, such as the movie Red Cliff, even manage to reach an
international audience. The Three Kingdoms period therefore proves itself a
critical aspect of Chinese culture that deserves to be explored.
This Decal aims to examine the integration of the history of the Three
Kingdoms period into Chinese popular culture through mediums such as books,
shows, and games. The course will focus on one of the fictional novels based
upon this period, a novel considered to be one of the four great classical
novels of Chinese literature, Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong
. The course will provide students with a solid general understanding of the
time period and the novel through lectures, readings, written responses,
and discussion, as well as activities. Topics that the course will cover
include noteworthy events such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Battle of Red
Cliffs, and Battle of Xiaoting.
In addition to the book, the Decal will also introduce other popular
renditions of the Three Kingdoms period such as the widely popular Sanguosha
三國殺card game and 三國 television series to increase appreciation of the
period. Sanguosha allows a hands-on approach to explore the influences of
the Three Kingdoms period on popular games in China. This game is basically
a Chinese edition of the card game Bang!, where players attempt to overthrow
the ruler with their respective characters. Students will use knowledge
from the book and historical events to examine significant figures’, such
as Liu Bei, character card abilities in relation to their role in history.
For more information on Sanguosha, check out http://sanguoshaenglish.blogspot.com/.
Key Objectives:
• Gain general knowledge about the Three Kingdoms period
• Gain a better understanding of the melding of history and popular
culture
• Increase appreciation of the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese
history
• Immerse in Chinese culture by reading one of the four great
Chinese novels
Class Format:
Short Lecture
- Classes will begin with a short lecture consisting of recap of the
chapters students read for the week, a comparison between the events of the
novel versus real history, as well as how the events had been presented in
media.
Reading Discussion
- The class will discuss the week’s readings in small groups. Students
will be given discussion questions designed to stimulate thought on the
topic. The discussion questions would be given at least several days before
class so students would have had time to prepare for the discussion.
Discussion topics will include analysis of the events of the novel and the
characters of novels, as well as how the events were presented by media.
Sanguosha 三國殺session
- Students will be arranged into groups to play a game of the card game
Sanguosha 三國殺.
Grading Policy:
60% attendance/participation
15% discussion responses
25% final paper
Students will need at least 70% total grade to pass the class. Attendance is
very important in this Decal. Therefore, each unexcused absence will mean a
5% loss of the total grade. Each discussion response is worth 1.25% of the
total grade. The final paper is worth 25% percent of the total grade. The
final paper is mandatory. Failing to complete the paper will result in a
failing grade (Although the math may suggest that one can still pass the
class without doing the final paper, you WILL fail if you do not turn in a
final paper).
Work required:
Readings
- Students will need a buy, rent, or borrow a copy of Romance of the
Three Kingdoms for the weekly reading assignments will be from this novel.
The weekly reading assignment will be approximately 60 pages per week.
Students are expected to have finished the readings assigned for each week
before class that week (ie. Students are expected to have read Week 2
readings before class on week 2).
Responses to Discussion Questions
- Each week, student will be given discussion questions regarding the
readings assigned for that week. Students are required to give a response to
one or more of these discussion questions. The responses should be about 1-
2 paragraphs. The responses will not need to be particularly elaborate for
they are mainly designed to stimulate thought about the novel.
Final Paper
- Students will be required to write a 2-3 page paper on one of the
following topics:
o Write an essay exploring the ways the card game Sanguoxia is related to
Romance of the Three Kingdoms (eg. In what way are the character card’s
abilities reflective of the character’s actions, behaviors, or traits in
the novel)
o Explore and/or analyze how the Three Kingdoms Era or Romance of the
Three Kingdoms is presented by modern media.
o Write a comparison between the game Sanguosha and other media not
covered in class that uses the Three Kingdom period as a basis. Compare the
similarities and differences in the portrayal of important historical
figures.
o Choose a chapter from Romance of the Three Kingdoms that was NOT
covered in class. Write a summary noting the significance of the chapter
relative to the overall story and important historical figures.
o Topic of your choice (Please tell a facilitator about your topic at
least 2 weeks in advance if you select this option)
Attendance:
Attendance to this DeCal is mandatory. Students who have more than 3
unexcused absences will fail the class. In the event that you must skip
class and have a good reason (eg. evening examinations, review sessions,
illness), please email a facilitator at least one day in advance to be
excused.

我最喜欢的玩具是“三国杀”。这个玩具是我年甫9岁，姐姐给我买的。
这个玩具外壳是长方体的形状，穿着黑洞洞的衣裳，最上面写着“三国杀”这三个醒目
的大字。外壳还是用钢铁做的，用笔一敲就会发出“咚咚”的声音，别人听了还以为有
人打鼓呢！这是用许多牌，和一个精致的盒子构造成的。牌里包含有身份牌、角色牌、
体力牌和游戏牌。身份牌一共10张，一张主公，三张忠臣，四张反贼，两张内奸。武将
牌是《三国演义》的主角，一共有25张。体力牌有十张是按“阴阳鱼个数”算的。另外
还有108张游戏牌，有杀、闪、桃……身份牌是确定你的身份。武将牌是有势力名、武
将姓名、称号、武技描述、体力上限组成的，选中了谁，就有不同的技能。如果体力牌
为零，这位将士就死亡了。游戏牌是你摸的牌，然后和别人战斗。
我之所以喜欢它是因为可以即将开始学习一款集角色扮演、战斗、伪装等要素于一体的
多人卡牌游戏，它能让我通过扮演耳熟能详的三国角色，在颠覆性的历史舞台中，演绎
一段扑朔迷离并充满刺激的较量。我能充分体验到与玩家博弈的乐趣，它将是我聚会休
闲交友的最佳伙伴，它就是——三国杀。

杀！有‘闪’吗？快，扣滴血吧！”
“看我‘武将技能’——‘遗计’！”……

有争议，总要去找Y老师问个明白，而他也总是十分耐心地告诉我们答案。
有些不知好歹的，就连早自休早读的时间都用来看人物的技能：将语文书随便翻开一页
，用书来遮住卡牌，然后装着摇头晃脑的样子，居然蒙混过关。但是在上课，就难以躲
过老师那锐利的眼睛了。上次语文课，小X用了这种方法，可被老师看破了，卡牌被“
碎尸万断”，“埋葬”在垃圾筒里。他的家长也被叫来了，还害得我们两周不能玩“三
国杀”。
