“Yu (于)” and “Yu (於)” both exist in The History of the Three Kingdoms, while the frequency of usages are different, with same and different usages. This paper takes The History of the Three Kingdoms During Shaoxi Period of Song Dynasty (The Twenty-Four Histories in Collection of Various Editions) as the research material, and investigates the usages of the words “Yu (于)” and “Yu (於)” in it, also referring to the other three editions of The History of the Three Kingdoms and checking each other to clarify the words and usages. In The History of the Three Kingdoms, “Yu (於)” appears 4544 times, “Yu (于)” appears 861 times, and the usage ratio is 5.28:1. “Yu (於)” is more widely and frequently used than “Yu (于)”. These two words are used most abundantly as prepositions. The prepositions “Yu (于)” and “Yu (於)” can both guide the complements of time and place, as well as elicit action objects and express passiveness. Additionally, in the three pairs of common phrases, the usages and meanings of the corresponding words are same. The difference is that the preposition “Yu (於)” has more plentiful usages and fixed usages of “Yushi (於是)” and “Zaiyu (在於)”, moreover, “Yu (於)” is often used after war verbs, and “Yu (于)” is rarely used. Furthermore, “Yu (於)” can be used as an interjection, and “Yu (于)” in proper nouns cannot be written as “Yu (於)”. It can be seen that, different from the pre-Qin period, the grammatical function of “Yu (於)” in The History of the Three Kingdoms is much stronger than that of “Yu (于)”, which reflects the trend that the weakening of the usages of “Yu (于)” in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, while the function of “Yu (於)” is gradually becoming stronger. Besides, there are many usages preserved through “Yu (於)” from ancient Chinese to modern Chinese.

『三國志演義』는 元代 建安 虞氏의 『三國志平話』를 시작으로 현전하는 통행본인 毛宗崗本에 이르기까지 약 350여 년의 발전 과정을 거쳤다. 이러한 발전 과정 안에서 상업성을 목적으로 한 福建地方과 江南地方의 출판 경쟁이 시작됐고, 江南地方에서 刊行된 演義系列 版本과 福建 建陽地方에서 刊行된 志傳系列 版本이 생겨났다. 그리고 이 두 系列의 版本은 回目과 內容 등에서 독자적인 특색을 갖고자 여러 가지 변화를 시도하였다. 두 系列의 版本들을 살펴보던 중 필자가 주목한 것은 『花關索傳』 과 『三國志演義』에 대한 영향 관계였다. 본 연구는 『三國志演義』에 『花關索傳』이 揷 入되면서 系列 분류 및 관련 版本에 어떠한 영향을 주었는지에 대하여 살펴보고, 시간이 지남에 따라 『三國志演義 내에서 『花關索傳』이 점차 사라지게 된 근본적 이유가 무엇인지에 대하여 毛宗崗을 비롯한 몇 가지 이유를 들어 살펴보고자 한다. 그리고 그럼에도 불구하고 현대까지도 잘 보존되어 이어지는 關索과 관련된 전설과 민간 고사 등을 통해 『花關索傳』이 갖는 의미와 가치에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.
