At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, North Korea's political corruption, coupled with years of famine, made people's lives very difficult.

Extended data:

Taoyuan Sanjieyi was originally a story recorded in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It tells the story of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, three people with lofty ideals, who share the same interests and share joys and sorrows in order to achieve the goal of * * * *. They chose a peach blossom season, a gorgeous peach blossom garden, and raised their glasses to swear allegiance to heaven, sharing weal and woe, sharing weal and woe.

There is also a complete story in the Yuan drama "Liu Tao undresses": Yin Zang, a ghost of Zhou Pu, wants to stand on his own feet and beg Guan Yu to be handsome. Guan Yu killed him and fled to Fanyang, Zhuozhou. Zhang Fei opened a butcher shop in the local area. Zhang Fei deliberately pressed a knife with a thousand-pound boulder in front of the store, threatening that anyone who could move the boulder would take nothing and give him meat to eat.

One day, Guan Yu passed by Zhang Fei's butcher's shop and moved out the 1,000-pound boulder that Zhang Fei used to press the knife. There was no meat. When Zhang Fei returned to the store and learned the news, he went to the inn where Guan Yu stayed and worshipped Guan Yu as his brother. Later, they met Liu Bei. Seeing Liu Bei's extraordinary appearance, I invited him to drink together.

Liu Bei was lying drunk when he saw a red snake drilling into Liu Bei's seven orifices. Guan Yu felt that "the blessing of this person will be expensive in the future", so he worshipped Liu Bei as his brother. The three men slaughtered cattle and horses in Taoyuan outside the city, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, vowing "not to be born on the same day, but to die on the same day".

Although the story is interesting, it is absurd. In the story of the Three Kingdoms in the Yuan Dynasty, the concept of "Taoyuan Sanjieyi" is relatively better, after all, it has the shadow of real life.
