史载（Historical Record）
According to the extant historical sources, records concerning Lu Ba are lacking. In the Records of the Three Kingdoms and other official histories, no biography or related deeds of a person named Lu Ba can be found. This means that at the level of verifiable historical fact, Lu Ba is not a person with any clear historical record.
演中（In the Novel）
Lu Ba appears in Romance of the Three Kingdoms as the son of Lü Meng, his role embodied mainly in the episode of inheriting his father's title after Lü Meng's death. In Chapter 77 of the novel, after Sun Quan had successfully seized Jing Province and brought about Guan Yu's death, he held a victory feast and placed Lü Meng in the seat of honor, greatly extolling him. However, just as Lü Meng took the wine and was about to drink, he suddenly hurled the cup to the ground, seized Sun Quan, and in the voice of Guan Yu cursed Sun Quan as "blue-eyed boy! purple-bearded rat," declaring himself to be "Guan Yunchang, Marquis of Hanshou Precinct". Then Lü Meng bled from the seven orifices and died, which is depicted as Guan Yu's spirit possessing his body to take revenge. Sun Quan, terrified by this, in order to soothe people's hearts and express his "posthumous bestowal" upon Lü Meng, had Lü Meng's body coffined and buried, and posthumously conferred on him the title of grand administrator of Nan Commandery and Marquis of Chanling. It was against this backdrop that the novel mentions "he ordered his son Lu Ba to inherit the title". This is the only clear appearance of Lu Ba in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, his function being to complete the narrative link of the posthumous succession of Lü Meng's title, rather than to take part in any specific military or political activity. This setting of Lu Ba is a literary creation by Romance of the Three Kingdoms to round out the characters' relationships and the plot, with no clear basis in history.
关键关系
Lu Ba's most crucial relationship is the father-son bond with Lü Meng. In the narrative of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Ba is the son of Lü Meng, and after Lü Meng died, inherited his father's title (Romance only). This relationship makes Lu Ba the continuation of the Lü Meng family bloodline in the novel. Apart from the father-son relationship with Lü Meng, there is also an indirect ruler-minister relationship between Lu Ba and Sun Quan, since Sun Quan was the sovereign who enfeoffed him with the inherited title. However, this relationship is not depicted in depth in the novel, and Lu Ba himself has no direct interaction with Sun Quan.
标志性场景
Lu Ba's defining scene, also the sole instance in which he is clearly mentioned in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, occurs after his father Lü Meng dies suddenly at the victory feast, "possessed by Guan Yu." In this dramatic event, Sun Quan, terrified by Guan Yu's "manifestation," in order to quell everyone's panic and to display his "favor" toward Lü Meng, posthumously conferred on Lü Meng the title of grand administrator of Nan Commandery and Marquis of Chanling, and immediately "ordered his son Lu Ba to inherit the title". Though brief, this scene clearly establishes Lu Ba's identity and his standing in the family, namely as Lü Meng's heir. This episode is not only the conclusion of Lü Meng's storyline but also accounts to the reader for the arrangement of Lü Meng's family after his death. Since Lu Ba has no record in the histories, this scene is entirely a literary creation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, aimed at enriching the plot and the characters' relationships (Romance only).
