Three Kingdoms

The Three Kingdoms period (c. 220-280 AD) in ancient China was a time of fragmentation and conflict following the fall of the Han Dynasty. It was characterized by the rise of three rival kingdoms: Wei, Shu, and Wu. This era is famous for its military leaders, political intrigue, and the legendary battles fought among these states. The period is immortalized in the historical text "Records of the Three Kingdoms" and the famous novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," which blend history and legend, influencing Chinese culture, literature, and popular media for centuries.
