The Records of the Three Kingdoms (traditional Chinese: 三國志; simplified Chinese: 三国志; pinyin: Sānguó zhì), is a Chinese imperial history that covers the end of the Han dynasty (c. 184–220 CE) and the following Three Kingdoms period (220–280 CE). It is widely regarded as the official and authoritative source text for these periods. Written by Chen Shou after the Jin dynasty reunited China in the third century, the work compiles the political, social, and military events within rival states Cao Wei, Shu Han and Eastern Wu into a single text organized by individual biography.
The Records of the Three Kingdoms is the main source of information for the 14th century historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, considered to be one of China's four great novels.
While large subsections of the work have been selected and translated into English, the entire corpus has yet to receive an unabridged English translation.
