The Romance of the Three Kingdoms did not have a clear definition of what was a flat or round character. Different people and different readers might have different views and understandings. However, many of the characters in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms were generally regarded as flat characters because their story plots and character settings were relatively simple. They did not have distinct personality characteristics and emotional conflicts, leaving people with a relatively simple and dull impression. In contrast, the characters with protruding circles were usually described as characters with complex inner worlds, strong emotional conflicts, and distinct personality characteristics. For example, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang and other characters were considered to be rounded characters because their story plots and character settings were very complicated, and their emotions and motives were also very impressive. Of course, there are also many flat characters in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, such as Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, etc. Their story plots and character settings are more complicated, but compared to the round characters, their personality characteristics and emotional conflicts are relatively simple, so they leave a relatively flat impression.
