<p> Much work has been done on the influences of Chinese literature on the Japanese martial chronicles. However, comparison between a particular Chinese literary work and a Japanese martial chronicle has, as yet, not been attempted. When we compare Taiheiki (one of the Japanese martial chronicles) and San guo zhi yan yi as two literary works - in terms of plot, character development, and narrative development - what will be made clear?</p><p> Taiheiki and San guo zhi yan yi make a remarkable contrast in the way each of the works presents warriors’ deaths.</p><p> Death in Taiheiki often receives careful and minute handling. Surrounding death, warrior’s features, character costume, and “nanori” (calling himself) are narrated in detail. Such a method of presentation helps the readers to imagine the scene as if they were physically present at the warriors’ death.</p><p> In San guo zhi yan yi, on the contrary, the presentation of death is often short and concise: the emphasis of the work is on the warriors’ heroic acts and their vitality. The warriors’ character is fully developed at the time they are first introduced in the story, and when they are fighting. Death does not matter so much to these warriors in the face of martial glory.</p><p> It can be concluded that such a difference in the way of handling death in the two works has been brought out by several factors - social, political, and cultural.</p>
