Class is from 2000BCE to 400CE..

I have a couple hundred of pages to read on the first day of class and I'm confused as fuck. So far I've been reading proverbs from Confucious..

Anyone want to be my tutor?

BCE - Before Common Era
CE - Current Era..

The non religious BC/AD (even though AD is Anno Domini).

It's a new thing but yes.

Basically my impression is there are different provinces in China who really didn't communicate with each other; it woud be like Texas not knowing there is a flood in Louisiana.

I know a little about the Sanguozhi era, but not really that much more than you could get from reading Luo Guanzhong's novels or watching Red Cliff.

Or just playing Dynasty Warriors, if that's your thing. The reality of some events is stretched a bit...more than likely to just add entertainment value, but you can still learn about what generally happened for the most part.
