In the pantheon of Chinese classical novels, Romance of the Three Kingdoms holds an esteemed position. Mr. Jin Xiezhong dedicated 11 years to meticulously crafting a collection of illustrations for Romance of the Three Kingdoms, distilling the core content of each chapter and capturing representative moments that highlight the dramatic conflicts and showcase the brilliance of the story. His work maintains both the coherence of the narrative and the integrity of individual pieces. Previous illustrated editions of Romance of the Three Kingdoms were either incomplete or simplistic in their approach. A comprehensive and exquisitely illustrated version like Jin's is a rarity, whose value for collection and commemoration is self-evident.

The complete set of 240 illustrations features a multitude of characters, including rulers and ministers, warriors and scholars, men and women, the young and the old, each with distinct physical appearances, expressions, attire, props, and weaponry, all of which are depicted with clarity and vivid contrast. The entire collection is richly colored yet not overly heavy, grand yet bright and composed, embodying an elegant and refined charm reminiscent of ancient aesthetics.
