Since then, various wars have taken place, including the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Battle of Red Cliffs and the Battle of Yiling. The final result is a tripartite confrontation, known as the Three Kingdoms in history (220-280 AD).
72. During the Three Kingdoms period, there were several famous figures in history, such as Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao, the incarnation of wisdom, and Guan Yu, a loyal hero. They were revered by China people in later generations.
Ge Hong, an alchemist in Jin Dynasty (AD 265-420), learned about the properties of some minerals and summarized a lot of chemical knowledge in the process of smelting various minerals. His book Bao Puzi is an important work of primitive chemistry.
74. Water Mirror is a monograph on river science by Sangqin in Han Dynasty, but it is too simple and has some omissions. In the Northern Dynasties (AD 386-58 1 year), Li Daoyuan took this book as the key link, made detailed comments, and named it Zhu.

80. Liu Hui, a great mathematician in the Three Kingdoms period, first put forward the calculation method of pi, that is, the "cyclotomic method". Starting from the regular polygon inscribed in the circle, he obtained the approximate value of pi as 3. 14 159.
8 1, Zu Chongzhi, a mathematician in the Southern Dynasties, concluded that the pi of seven digits after the decimal point was between 3. 14 15926 and 3. 14 15927. This is more than 1000 years before European mathematicians calculate pi with the same accuracy.
