Three Kingdoms: Official Historical Notes

Full text translation of Pei Songzhi's Notes on the Official History of the Three Kingdoms, as well as explanations of background, geography, and official positions. The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms is not the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but the official history among the Twenty-Four Histories. Together with Shiji, Hanshu and Later Hanshu, it is called the "First Four Histories". This work is to allow ordinary people to see a more realistic history of the Three Kingdoms. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
