  • The Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast. This Is Episode 32. Last
    Welcome to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Podcast. This is episode 32. Last time, Yuan Shao had mobilized his forces to attack Cao Cao, who responded by leading an army to meet Yuan Shao’s vanguard at the city of Baima (2,3). However, Cao Cao’s operation ran into a roadblock by the name of Yan Liang, Yuan Shao’s top general who easily slayed two of Cao Cao’s lesser officers. Feeling the need for a little more firepower, Cao Cao sent a messenger to the capital to summon Guan Yu. When Guan Yu received the order, he went to inform his two sisters-in-law, who reminded him to try to find some news about Liu Bei on this trip. Guan Yu then took his leave, grabbed his green dragon saber, hopped on his Red Hare horse, and led a few riders to Baima to see Cao Cao. “Yan Liang killed two of my officers and his valor is hard to match,” Cao Cao said. “That’s why I have invited you here to discuss how to deal with him.” “Allow me to observe him first,” Guan Yu said. Cao Cao had just laid out some wine to welcome Guan Yu when word came that Yan Liang was challenging for combat. So Guan Yu and Cao Cao went to the top of the hill to observe their enemy. Cao Cao and Guan Yu both sat down, while all the other officers stood. In front of them, at the bottom of the hill, Yan Liang’s army lined up in an impressive and disciplined formation, with fresh and brilliant banners and countless spears.

  • The Wheelbarrow (Edited from Wikipedia)
    The Wheelbarrow (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY A wheelbarrow is a small hand-propelled vehicle, usually with just one wheel, designed to be pushed and guided by a single person using two handles at the rear, or by a sail to push the ancient wheelbarrow by wind. The term "wheelbarrow" is made of two words: "wheel" and "barrow." "Barrow" is a derivation of the Old English "bearwe" which was a device used for carrying loads. The wheelbarrow is designed to distribute the weight of its load between the wheel and the operator so enabling the convenient carriage of heavier and bulkier loads than would be possible were the weight carried entirely by the operator. As such it is a second-class lever. Traditional Chinese wheelbarrows, however, had a central wheel supporting the whole load. Use of wheelbarrows is common in the construction industry and in gardening. Typical capacity is approximately 100 liters (4 cubic feet) of material. A two-wheel type is more stable on level ground, while the almost universal one-wheel type has better maneuverability in small spaces, on planks or when tilted ground would throw the load off balance. The use of one wheel also permits greater control of the deposition of the load on emptying. HISTORY The earliest wheelbarrows with archaeological evidence in the form of a one-wheel cart come from 2nd century Han Dynasty Emperor Hui's tomb murals and brick tomb reliefs. The painted tomb mural of a man pushing a wheelbarrow was found in a tomb at Chengdu, Sichuan province, dated precisely to 118 AD.

  • 1000CP and Create a Tale That Will Stand the Test of Time
    By Tyr Alexander Version 1.5 Welcome to feudal China. For four hundred years, the Han dynasty has ruled the land. Underneath the Han, China knew an age of peace and prosperity. However, like all things, it must one day end. The court eunuchs have usurped imperial authority, not only deceiving the emperor but promoting corrupt officials and persecuting virtuous ones. The people suffered greatly underneath the eunuch's corruption. But it was Zhang Jiao, a Taoist monk, who hammered in the first nail into the Han's coffin when he formed the Yellow Turban Army. With many dissatisfied peasants flocking to his banner, Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turbans in revolt against the Han Emperor. Heroes and villains alike took up arms to either quell the chaos or prosper from it. No greater heroes arose during this time than Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan. The leaders of Shu-Han, Cao Wei, and Sun Wu respectively. These three men's destinies were intertwined together. Clashing, unifying and more often conspiring against each other, it was their actions that defined the Three Kingdoms period. While neither of these men nor the legacies they left behind would unite the land, their stories are being retold to this day. You now enter China, for good or ill. Will you join the chaos and prosper as the world around you burns? Will you stand up for righteousness and suppress the chaos, restoring the Han Dynasty to its former glory? Will you usurp the land for your own glory and force all the feudal lords to kowtow to your might? Or will you be a roaming vagabond merely going to and fro without a care in the world? Take this 1000CP And create a tale that will stand the test of time.
