Abstract

A Chinese novel Sanguozhi pinghua, and a Korean novel Hwayongdo share striking similarities. Both are historical novels dealing with the Three Kingdoms Period in China. Both were written in contemporary vernacular Chinese and Korean respectively and have deep ties to oral literature of the time. Sanguozhi pinghua is the inspiration and the prototype of Hwayongdo and Sanguo yanyi, a work more widely-read than Sanguozhi pinghua itself, which provided Hwayongdo with its characters and narrative. This paper will analyze and address the characteristics and similarities visible in both novels, and I will argue that those similarities stem from the fact that they were composed in a similar context. Sanguozhi pinghua and Hwayongdo are the outcomes of convergent literary evolution, as they are written renditions of oral repertoire, re-created into novels.
