Try "Romance of Three Kingdoms" (Chinese: 三国演义) if you haven't done so already. The book itself is acclaimed as one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literate. And in my opinion, the TV series that was based on it is just as awesome. While the drama sticked to the original plot, the screenwriters took the time to translate the 14th century Chinese (which was used to write the novel) into a more modern form that is much easier to understand.


Awesome! smile
I'll have a go at that as well once I have the chance! Thanks! whee


Oh and I've seen an anime Called "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
I mean, not actually watched it, but the title popped up. The animation looks bad though mad And there's a bunch of games; I haven't played them, but I've downloaded some of the game music. They use traditional Chinese instruments in them.
what about SEven Swords [a movie] ?? Does that have anything to do with Chinese history? Or is it just a fictatious movie with cool fighting??

I don't know if it's historical; my mom says it's a classic or something; there's non-anime before the anime. I think it maybe one of those famous legends or something confused

Of course the book is a work of fiction. However, it has a strong influence on Chinese folklores, mythology and even religion (i.e. Taoism and Buddhism); And it makes a good study material if you wanna learn about the Chinese literature at the time when this book was written.

By the way, the book itself is first written around 1590s AD, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's a "non-cartoon version before the anime." blaugh
