The Three Kingdoms period (220-280 AD) in Chinese history was a time of political instability and military conflict, following the collapse of the Han Dynasty. Three powerful warlords, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, rose to prominence and established their own kingdoms: Wei in the north, Shu Han in the west, and Eastern Wu in the east. This era was marked by epic battles, legendary heroes, and the formation of the foundations of Chinese civilization as we know it today. The Three Kingdoms period is celebrated in Chinese literature, art, and popular culture for its rich history and enduring legacy.
