    About this ebook

    Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a classic historical novel of enormous influence, is considered to be one of the four great Chinese classic novels. Written by Luo Guanzhong, a scholar who lived in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, it chronicled the efforts of the Wei, Shu, and Wu kingdoms to reunite the empire at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

    This fascinating period in Chinese history inspired many other authors, poets, artists, and playwrights, including Luo Guanzhongs novel, which is a work of enduring historical and literary impact and beauty. Guan Yu, the hero, has had a significant impact on Chinese culture and the arts. That influence has spread to Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and to all Chinese communities in the world. Guan Yu is well respected and worshiped in Taoism, Buddhism, Shintoism, and Caodaiism. He has also influenced modern entertainment and mass media as well, including television, video games, Manga, and more. The study and critical interpretation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Guan Yu has captivated scholars, artists, and writers for centuries.

    Now, modern-day scholar and collector Frankie KT Neo offers the best of his research. Readers are invited to a detailed tour of his extensive collection of antiques and other artifacts commemorating Three Kingdoms and its hero, Guan Yu. His collection, called the Sanfen Tang Collection, currently features more than a thousand pieces, many of which are detailed within.

      Preface

      This book aims to use the various items from the Sanfen Tang Collection of Guan Yu and Three Kingdoms artifacts to illustrate the parts in which Guan Yu was featured in the Novel Romance of The Three Kingdoms.

      Since 1980, Frankie KT Neo, an antique collector began the journey of collecting antiques and artifacts on the specialized Theme on Guan-Yu and Romance of The Three Kingdoms. The collection is called The Sanfen Tang Collection (叁 分堂收藏).

      Romance of the Three Kingdoms, a classic historical novel of enormous influence, is widely known in China as one of the four great Chinese classic novels. Its author Luo Guanzhong, was a scholar who lived in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Romance of the Three Kingdoms was based on the history of the three kingdoms, Wei, Shu and Wu that strived to reunite the empire at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The history of this period is expounded in the renowned history records of Three Kingdoms by Chen Shou (陳壽), and stories of the heroes and their deeds within have also come down from various folk tales, plays, ballads and verses. Out of historical records and folktales, Luo Guanzhong created the enduring historical and literary masterpiece.

      The Mongols conquered China, and established the Yuan Dynasty. To savage pride and to satisfy psychological needs, the Han Chinese citizenry begun to look towards one of their kind to admired to. Guan Yu matched the aspiration. When Luo Guanzhong glorified Guan Yu in Romance of The Three Kingdom, it was most welcoming to the Han Chinese and since then Guan Yu occupied a very important part of the Han Chinese way of life.

      After death, Guan Yu was well worshipped in Taoism, Buddhism ,General worshipping and it also spread its influence to Japan, Korea and Vietnam.

      This book is delegated to all my antiques and art collection friends and to all enthusiasts who are interested in Guan Yu culture and The Romance of The Three Kingdoms.

      Sincerely

      Frankie KT Neo
