List of fictitious stories in Romance of the Three Kingdoms
The following is a chronologically arranged list of fictitious stories in ''Romance of the Three Kingdoms'' (''Sanguo Yanyi''), one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. Although the novel is a romanticised retelling of the history of the late Eastern Han dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, due to its widespread popularity, many people falsely believe it to a real account of the events that happened during that era. Some historians have also used the novel as a source to study the history of the Han dynasty and Three Kingdoms period, regardless of factual basis. The authoritative source for the history of the Three Kingdoms period is Chen Shou's ''Records of the Three Kingdoms'' (''Sanguozhi''), which includes annotations by Pei Songzhi from other historical texts such as the ''Weilue'' and the ''Jiang Biao Zhuan'' (江表傳). Other sources covering the history of that period include Fan Ye's ''Book of the Later Han'' (''Houhanshu'') and Fang Xuanling's ''Book of Jin'' (''Jin Shu''). Since ''Sanguo Yanyi'' is a historical novel, many stories in it are either fictitious or based on folk tales and historical incidents that happened in other periods of Chinese history. What follows is an incomplete list of the better known fictitious stories in the novel, each with accompanying text that explains the differences between the story and historical accounts.
==Powers of Sorcery among the Yellow Turbans==
Late in the reign of Emperor Ling, as outlawry and talk of rebellion proliferate, a mysterious man, referring to himself as "the old immortal spirit from the southern lands," gives a magic book to Zhang Jue. The latter studies it until he can “summon the wind and rain.” He then comes to be known as “the Great Peace Daoist” and, during a countryside epidemic, charms special water that cures the disease. He then trains a cadre of 500 disciples who can “write magic charms and chant spells,” dispersing them throughout the empire in thirty-six chapters that each grow to have thousands of members. Finally, Zhang Jue tells his two brothers, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, that the auspicious time to launch a rebellion has come. Soon Zhang Bao is fighting with imperial forces. He is a sorcerer able to summon a thunderstorm, which creates an apparition of an army of dark warriors. Shortly after Zhang Liang is captured and executed, Zhang Bao begins making more reckless decisions and is hard pressed by government forces in Yang Province. His men began to fear for their lives and he is eventually assassinated by one of his own men, Yan Zheng, during an attack on the castle of Yangcheng. With this the Yellow Turbans degenerate into a force of bandits.
;Historicity
While claims of such magical powers seem to have been part of the propaganda used by the Yellow Turbans to recruit members, there is no evidence that any historical personage was ever able to conjure storms, field phantom armies, or perform any of the other feats attributed in the novel to the Zhang brothers.
