S7E03 | We Swore Blood Brothers Against the Wind
About this episode
Who doesn't know this one? If you never read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" perhaps you might not know this one. In all the thousands of years of Chinese culture and history, this gem from Luo Guanzhong's novel is very high on the list. Here's a quick retelling of the tale about that day Liu Bei met Zhang Fei and Guan Yu and their sworn brotherhood in Zhang Fei's peach garden. The Táoyuán Jiéyì 桃园结义. This chengyu can only be used when describing the most sincere and honorable of oaths taken to achieve some common cause. Any Romance of the Three Kingdoms lovers should go groove on John Zhu's Three Kingdoms Podcast http://www.3kingdomspodcast.com/
