| 1 | * ExecutiveMeddling: The version used as the basis for the English translation is actually the 17th century version of the novel, extensively edited for readability by Mao Lun and his son, Mao Zonggang. While the text overall improved as a result, Zhonggang excised some passages, sometimes lengthy ones, that dramatically changed the character of certain scenes in the novels. He even added a couple of passages, such as where [[spoiler:Lady Sun drowns herself after observing the burning of the Shu army at Yiling (thinking that Liu Bei had perished in the fire), in order to cast her in the light of the romantic ideal of the Confucian wife.]] The Moss Roberts translation (the most common and most complete English translation) includes footnotes that tend to point out moments like this, however, and sometimes compares them to earlier, more secular, editions. |
| 2 | * ReferencedBy: Mayaya from ''Manga/PrincessJellyfish'' is a huge ''Three Kingdoms'' {{otaku}}, and as such she frequently quotes from the text itself and makes comparisons to what goes on around her and the other characters with moments from the story. |
