Romance of The Three Kingdoms is one of the great chinese classics and is compiled into a semi-fictional literary masterpiece during the Ming Dynasty by Luo Guanzhong.The novel comprises around 70+% fact and 20+% fiction.Some issues such as Guan Yu's weapon weighing around 40+ kilograms,the capabilties of Lu Bu,Liu Bei's horses as well as the existence of the Hill of the Fallen Phoenix and some others are probably fictional.
That period in history can be said as the golden age of chivalry and although it happened more than 1700 years ago,characters such as Liu Bei,Cao Cao,Guan Yu,Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang have become household names among the chinese.Tales of their exploits,courage,adventures and many more are told in the novel "Romance of The Three Kingdoms".
It is one of the most turbulent periods in China's history taking place toward the end of the Han Dynasty where corruption is rampant in the imperial court due to eunuches holding power.Coupled with natural disasters such as floods,plague and locust swarms devouring the crops grown by the peasants,hunger and disatisfaction among the peasants soon escalated rapidly until a major rebellion known as the "Yellow Scarves Rebellion" led by Zhang Jiao broke out.(It was dubbed "Yellow Scarves" because the rebels tied a yellow scarf on their head).Initially just a small band of rebels,due to widespread hunger and ill-sentiment among the populace,swarms of common folks joined in the rebellion across many parts of the country.
