Three Kingdoms and  K'ung-ming
 

There are so many
fascinating periods in Chinese history.
One of them is  The Three Kingdoms when Yellow Turban Rebels rose up to
overthrow local officials, and the nation plunged into chaos. K’ung-ming
Chouko-Liang(K'ung-ming), who tried to reconstruct the Han dynasty,
is the most important person
in this period. His personality and intelligence had a decidedly major impact on
the events that led to the formation of the Shu dynasty.
He was an astronomer, a researcher, and a prophet.
He was born in 181 AD in a native of Yang-tu in Shabtuhg, and passed away
in AD 234 at the age of 54.  When he was young, his father died, so his
uncle, Yuan-Piano, took care of him. When the uncle died,
K’ung-ming moved deep into the mountains. This research
paper discusses the reason why the Han dynasty fell,
and the significance of the rise
of The Three Kingdoms.
