The poetic works of Du Fu are probably the greatest longform narrative of East Asia.';

'>>23359720
Who the fuck is Du Fu? You’re the only one here that knows about him lmao';

The fact that you pseuds are trying to push a narrative that this Du Fu guy is actually pretty well known outside of China is freaking hilarious, I’m laughing my ass off right now';

This place is too small a stage for such as you, anon, you belong among the salon wits of yesteryear.';

Are you kidding me? Everyone knows Du Foo! He runs a Laundromat on the Eastside. Ask any nigga about Doo Fung and they tell you he the baddest nigga around. He drives an Impala.';

'Three Kingdoms is about badass warriors desperately fighting for control of China
Tale of Genji is just about a man who fucks a lot of women
It's not even close';

'>>23360065
You might be thinking of Li Bai. Du had to curtail his drinking due to diabetes toward the end of his life, poor bastard just couldn't catch a break.';

'>>23359643
I think Tale of Genji is considered greater.
Iirc, the Chinese liked poetry better than novels.
The comparison to Rot3k would be Musashi.';

Why so?';

'>>23360106

Maybe you would enjoy the Tale of Heike then.';

'>>23360404
I do want to read it but I'm extremely intimidated by it';

'>>23360406

That's just how 4chan trains you to think. Once you realise that every "discussion" on this website is just console war faggotry wearing a different skin you can start developing opinions that are worth defending.';

'Journey to the West mogs both';

'>>23359643
Three kingdoms is by far the most influencial and popular east asian work. Weebs are a delusional people';

'>>23361454
This. I was really surprised by OP's choice of comparison when the contest is almost always between Journey to the West vs The Tree Kingdoms, or The Tale of Genji vs The Tale of Heike. Btw the winners are Journey and Genji.';

'>>23360106
Sounds like Genji is better and more literary';

'>>23361668

It's hard to beat the sheer drama of the Tale of Heike. Even Greek tragedy doesn't come close.';

'>>23359643
Three Kingdoms had armies smashing into each other and dudes being cut in half in single combat, over and over and over.

I read Tale of Genji and I have no recollection of what it is about.';

'>>23362623
Sounds like a you-problem.';

'>>23362630
It could also be that it was exceptionally boring and just a Japanese soap opera.';

'>>23362643
Or that you're a retarded pleb who can't appreciate a masterpiece. Odds aren't in your favor, bud.';
