The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a classic Chinese novel attributed to Luo Guanzhong. It is set during the turbulent period of the Three Kingdoms (circa 184-280 AD) and blends historical events with legend and folklore. The novel chronicles the power struggles among three kingdoms—Wei, Shu, and Wu—and the larger-than-life heroes who emerge during this era. Through intricate plots and larger-than-life characters, the book paints a vivid picture of loyalty, betrayal, strategy, and the fight for control over China. It is often considered one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature.

The narrative is not only a historical epic but also a political allegory, illustrating the complexities of leadership, governance, and war. Themes of loyalty, honor, and brotherhood are prevalent, especially in the relationships between key figures like Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, whose bond is famously known as the " oath of the peach garden." The novel's influence extends beyond literature, inspiring numerous adaptations in theater, film, and television. Its rich combination of action, political intrigue, and moral reflection has earned The Romance of the Three Kingdoms a place as a cornerstone of Chinese cultural heritage.
