Sorry, it was a piece of old news.

Three Kingdoms was a fascinating historic period in China, having a huge impact on modern China as well as many countries in East Asia, not just in terms of literature, but also language (huge amount of idioms used daily by Chinese today originating from that era), culture, national identity, interpersonal relationship, tourism, even the names of today's Chinese cities.

Chinese TV series of Three Kingdoms
to be broadcast in Thailand late January


BANGKOK, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- Thailand's Channel 3 said on Saturday that they are going to broadcast a 2010 Chinese TV Three Kingdoms for the first time in the kingdom late this month, which is expected to attract many audience.

The series is dubbed into Thai and will be broadcast on weekdays from Jan. 30. A special program, inviting scholars, fans, Chinese Thais to elaborate the Three Kingdoms period in Chinese history, is also set to be broadcast from next Monday to Friday.

"It is the first time for our channel to develop a special program for a TV series as there are so many characters in it, we want our audience to know who they are and what their stories first," said Pravit Thangthaweesook, presenter of the program.

The plot of the Chinese series is adapted from the 14th century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms and other stories about the Three Kingdoms period.

The channel believes that the introduction of the Chinese series will be a success as Thailand is familiar with the novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which was first translated and introduced into the kingdom in 1802 during King Rama I's reign and has been very popular among Thais.

"The novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, has come into lives of Thais for hundreds of years, some parts of the novel became contents of Thai textbooks for students to read, and many series and films about the Three Kingdoms have been introduced into Thailand." Said Surin Krittayaphongphun, Executive Vice President for Acting President of the channel.

He added that the 2010 series of Three Kingdoms, one of high quality with advanced production techniques and innovative narration, is sure to attract fans of the Three Kingdoms and the young generation who have never read or watched any work about it.

Pravit said the series and the special program is set to be broadcast at about 18:20 local time, when local people usually have their dinner, so they expect many audience will follow the series.

The city Jingzhou (Jing State) mentioned in this song, is one of the most important place during Three Kingdoms.
Today, it is the 4th largest city in my province.
There are numerous idioms and words used today directly related to this city.
(Hubei Province' 3rd largest city Xiangyang is also a prominent city during the era)

The most beautifully written/performed TV series in recent memory is "琅琊榜 Nirvana in Fire” . I don't have problem watching it a few more times, and I don't usually watch TV drama at all.

This fictional soapie is based on Northern and Southern dynasties.
Though the story itself is more
fictional than reality-based, it encourages millions of fans to read related history.

Many Chinese do not have too much knowledge about this time, unlike on Han, There Kingdoms, Sui/Tang, etc.

Nearly all history-based Chinese TV series are about major dynasties such as Tang/Song/Ming/Qing/Qin/Han/Three Kingdoms.
It is great to see more and more TV time is given to less influential dynasties, which are important parts of China's history.

Chronologically:
Han Dynasty---Three Kingdoms---Jin Dynasty---Northern and Southern Dynasties---Sui Dynasty---Tang Dynasty

That is what we called "the oldest continuous civilization" !

It is paramount for every Chinese to have a clear sense of order of each dynasty chronologically.
History knowledge is being spread not just in books and school textbooks, but via media and TV series.
Such Chinese TV series have a huge impact on Chinese and people in East Asia (Sinosphere) nowadays.

I come to like Cao Cao more than Liu Bei as I grew up.

Me too.
Cao Cao was a hero of wisdom and courage, Liu Bei was full of hypocrisy.
Today Cao Cao is more influential than Liu Bei.

Cao Cao VS Liu Bei

I like the design of high-speed railway stations in Hubei, very strong Chu and Three Kingdom style.
Yes, in spite of its small size, Jing Zhou Railway Station is still very atmospheric, typical Han dynasty style.
