In 206 BC, the Han Dynasty took control of Imperial China. For the next 400 years, the country would see a time of peace and prosperity. This was a time of inventions and significant advances in Chinese culture including papermaking, negative numbers in mathematics, and even the nautical steering rudder. Through several revolts including the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the power of the Han Dynasty was slowly crumbling. Following the Death of Emperor Ling in 189 AD, members of the aristocracy and military governors became warlords each fighting for their share of the empire.
This time of turmoil is where the great book, Romance of the Three Kingdoms (三國演義) is based. The historical and mythological writings of Luo Guanzhong chronicled the lives of the feudal lords who tried to replace or restore the falling Han Dynasty.
