During the last year of the eastern Han dynasty,the court fell into corruption from bad to worse and the eunuchs formed a common association for the power and eventually held it in hand. But the royal centre lost a control of the power little by little.At that time ,the world lived more and more under the worst situation . All that resulted in the rebellion of the Yellow Scarves. Despite it's failure, the whole empire was divided into three kingdoms- Wei; Shu; Wu.The three combated constantly each other for the power.The division ended since the eastern Jin dynasty was founded.

The Wei kingdom (A.D.220-A.D.265), founded by Tsao Tsao, a powerful possessor,who took hold of the north of the Han territory (including whereabouts the centre lived),the most of the whole empire. Tsao Tsao was vey clever and powerful. Under his leading, Wei kingdom grew more stronger and his troops conquered the little kingdoms outside(including 'Xiongnu'). And then he could collect his all forces to fight again the both,Shu and Wu. At A.D.220, Tsao Pei , Tsao Tsao's elder son, threw away Emperor Xian as a maharaja,ascended the throne. Then Wei Kingdom occured really.

The Shu kingdom (A.D.221-A.D.263),founded by Liu bei, a sorehead royal descendant.With the help of such as zhu geliang,Guan yu,Shang fei etc. which are most clever and braver, he eventually possessed such riches territories as Guan zhong and Jing zhou,his kingdom grew gradually into a more poerful and larger one. At A.D.221, Liu Bei done jusk like Tsao Pei,and the Shu Han kingdom was powerfully established.
