What is peach garden oath?

The Peach Garden Oath is a famous event that took place in 19 AD in China, during the late Eastern Han dynasty. According to historical accounts, three famous warlords, named Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, met at the Peach Garden in present-day Shaanxi province and swore allegiance to each other, pledging to work together and fight against the corrupt Han government and other warlords who threatened their lands.

The Peach Garden Oath is considered a symbol of brotherhood and loyalty in Chinese culture and has inspired many Chinese literary works, including the famous historical novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It is also commemorated every year in China on the third day of the third lunar month.

The Peach Garden Oath has become a well-known phrase in Chinese language, meaning a solemn oath or vow between friends who have a strong bond and share the same goals and values.
