3 Kingdoms

The three kingdoms were: wei, shu, and wu. Took place after the collapse of the Han Dynasty. The wars between these countries affected Europe because a lot of countries espically Rome began to expand and take over. The Three Kingdoms was known as one of the bloodiest wars of Chinese History.

The Three Kingdoms

The Thre Kingdoms, or Sanguo, was a period of Chinese history following the fall of the Han Dynasty. The Sanguo lasted from 220 to 280 BC.

2.The two most powerful rulers of the era were Cao Pi and Liu Yu. Cao Pi was appointed after the death of Cao Cao.

3. The movie was pretty good. It seemed very realistic although some of the action was probably exxagerated.

Traditional Dish (Cooking with Mr. Lin)

I think it would be extremely fun and interesting if one day as a class we made a traditional Chinese dish and researched how it became or why it was chosen to be a traditional dish. In all the Discovery China videos, it highlights that food is an important part of their culture and it would be extremely fun for us to try it. What do you all think?

1. The Three Kingdoms era in Chinese history occurred from the foundation of the Wei in 220 and the conquest of the Wu by the Jin Dynasty in 280, but many believe it started from the uprising of the Yellow Turbans in 184.

2. In the time of the Three Kingdoms,Europe was also going through a deadly war for power and land.

3. Two names that defined the history of the 3 Kingdoms are Shǔ Hàn (蜀漢)and Dōng Wú or Eastern Wu (東吳)which helped to define the different states which were lead by different emperors.
