Chinese Three Kingdoms Era

I'm surprised there isn't an article on this era in Chinese History,or the Jin Dynasty.Anyway,the Three Kingdoms era of China happend after the Han Dynasty's decline in 220 A.D.Cao Cao was ruler of Wei,Liu Bei was ruler of Shu Han after taking over his relative's kingdom of Shu in Cheng Du.The Sun family,led by Sun Jian,then Sun Ce,then Sun Quan were rulers of Wu,a kingdom in the south.Has anyone ever heard or read the book by Luo Guanzhong,Romance of the Three Kingdoms?Its one of the best books,I'm serious.

As I was saying,the Three Kingdoms Era and the Jin Dynasty,founded by the Sima Family after the abdication of last Wei Emperor Cao Huan and the destruction of both Wu and Shu Han Dynasties,led by Liu Chan and Sun Hao,should be in AllEmpires.com.Its a really important part in Chinese History.Also,two of the most brilliant strategists came out of that Era as well,Kongming,or Zhuge Liang,and Sima Yi,great grandfather of Sima Yan,who established the Jin Dynasty in 280,which was then overun by the Xiong Nu.

You should read the book.It might be long,but its really exciting,and epic.

Three Kingdom threads are welcome.  But I guess it's hard to find anything new to say about that period. 

In Jin dynasty however, The monk FaXian traveled to India on foot, then returned from Srilanka by boat.  When he got to China, he was 73 years old.  I think this is probably the first written records of Chinese traveling through the south sea.

Thank you!I was hoping someone would give me an answer.

Cao Cao and Sun Quan was an imposter their no different from a rebellion and Cao Cao just started all the corruption only Liu Bei got the right to become emperor the Caos and the Suns were fake

To answer your questions,Cao Cao and Sun Quan both were leaders.Had it not been for Cao Cao,the age of the Three Kingdoms would have not been come to being.Cao Cao established Wei by defeating Yuan Shao,and was not a fake,maybe in your opinion.Sun Quan just contiued the legacy of both his father and brother,for they died before the seeing the true age of the Three Kingdoms.The battle of Chi Bi was significant in that Cao Cao was defeated by both Wu and Shu Han forces.Sun Quan is also not a fake.

There were three dynasties up to 280,Wei,Shu Han,and Wu.Cao Huan was abdicated,and he didn't kill another emperor,for the Sima Family had much more influence then the Cao family for officially ending the Shu Han dynasty ruled by Liu Chan,Liu Bei's son.Cao was forced into giving in,and the Sima Family held sway over the Wei Dynasty.After this,Sima Yan then attacked Wu,and Wu surrendered without even so much as a fight.So the Three Kingdoms ended there,when Sima Yan officially renamed Wei to Jin after Cao Huan's abdication.Jin was then overun in 420 by northern babarions,either they have been the Xiong Nu or another tribe,is shrouded in mystery.

And to answer Gubukjanggoon's question,there is a history to this name.It is a name of an Emperor I created in my fictional history story I am writing now.

Any more questions?I guess controversy will erupt from my writing,so best be ready.

Coolstorm,you are right,yes.But,if we ever noticed,everything about the past can be disputed in some way or another,because we are forced to let our minds venture into what is given to us from a certain source.There are many sources,some that aren't true.History is something we can debate on,because nearly all of recorded history has its mystery,and has its uncertainties.

Did the Shu state have any chance unifying the country? Was it possible?

I thought Cao Cao followed all the right procedures.. and if he was so corrupt, how did his faction function so well?

Originally posted by coolstorm Did the Shu state have any chance unifying the country? Was it possible?

no way.. wasn't Wei like 9 times bigger than Shu?

I meant population-wise..

it was like 9:4:1 for Wei : Wu : Shu.. Wu and Shu had good defensive positions, but i don't know about their offenses.. Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei making 10+ attacks and accomplishing nothing..
