a book named "romance of three kingdoms"
in it
"domains under heaven,after a long period of division, tends to unite; after a long period of union, tends to divide."
"three heroes swear brotherhood in the Peach Garden;
one victory shatters the rebels in battlegrounds."
"domains under heaven , after a long period of division, tends to unite; after a long period of union, tends to divide.this has been so since antiquity. when the rule of zhe Zhou Dynasty weakened,seven contending kingdoms sprang up, warring one with another until the jingdom of QINprevailed and possessed the empire but when Qin'sdestiny had been fulfilled, arose two opposing kingdoms, Chu and han to fight for the mastery. and Han was the victor.
The rise of the fortunes of Han began when Liu Bang the Supreme Ancestor slew a white serpent to raise the banners of uprising ,which only ended when the whole empire belonged to Han(BC 202). This magnificent heritage was handed down in successive Han emperors for two hundred years, till the rebellion of Wang Mang caused a disruption. but soon Liu Xiu the Latter Han Founder restored the empire, and Han emperors continued their fule for anther two hundred yearstill the daysof Emperor Xian, which parts ,known to history as The Three kingdoms."

China to me has always been a great country. We used to read about Ghengis Khan the great leader in Chinese history-the greatness of the country is timeless. I always like to refer to the great wall of China, just put yourself to imagine the architectural skills of the chinese, then you will know that these Eastern Asian people were a civlization and will always remain a cicilization you cannot ignore.

Yes, it's a hero's age. I'm Chinese, so I knew it very well. There's a book talk about the war and the things happened that time. This book is one of The Four Chinese Classic Famous Books.
There were three main countries, every country has it's own heroes, brave, loyalty, wisdom.... They fight for their emperors to conquer the whole China. Lots of things happened...
By the way, my English is poor. Hope you can understand what I said. :)
