The WuShu, numerously cited by Pei SongZi, was authored by Wei Zhou, who was considered "diligent in study, ancient-loving, well-read and talented in recording." by Chen Shou. This essay will thus focus on the correlations between the narratives of character writing and national parochialism in the book, and will mainly approaches in three perspectives. In reference to Chen Zhou's Sanguozhi, it is obvious thatWushu itself, as an official history, somehow was restricted inherently. It carried out duties of covering up vice while praising morality, and thus limited the possibilities of figuring different aspects of characters. The negative deeds, contradictions and conflicts of inner regime were less recorded, orsomehow simplified. However, whether its purpose was making the state people be proud of their own history or spreading it as a political propaganda, we can see in many biographies the characters were so much beautified that even distract the truth. According to the narrative tendency mentioned above, it's the field of fiction that it stepped into. There are also similarities along with compliments between political ideologies and the literariness of history. And despite how abundant contents of biographies are there in Wushu, however, the context cannot beinterpreted without the perspective of national parochialism.
