Abstract: The relationship between the superior and inferior was the very same with that between man and woman in ancient Chinese tradition.The doctrine of a liegeman is suitable for that of a wife,and the same is the national emotion for personal emotion and the political emotion for gender emotion.However,the individuals among the political relationship still needed to embody their emotions,and this is called “political character”.In this sense,the experience of seeking a worthy person in the story of Three Visits to the Hut in the ancient novel The Historical Novel of Three Kingdoms is quite similar to the emotional imbroglio in the book The Unofficial Life History of Li Shishi in terms of deep concept and story structure.

Key words: the story of Three Visits to the Hut, The Historical Novel of Three Kingdoms, The Unofficial Life History of Li Shishi, ancient political tradition, character
