We can find this question directly from the text of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms":

The first clear time when the starting time appeared in the book in the first episode of "Banquet Taoyuan Heroes Three Righteousness, Killing Yellow Turban Heroes and First Meritorious Service" is: "Looking at the sun in April of the second year of Jianning, the emperor Wende Palace". Check it out, "Jianning" is the name of the Eastern Han Dynasty Emperor Liu Hong, the emperor of Han Ling, and the second year of Jianning is 169 AD.

We can use this as the initial time of the entire Romance of the Three Kingdoms**.

Note: The beginning time of the history of the Three Kingdoms in the orthodox sense should be 184 AD, that is, the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the seventh year of Emperor Guanghe of the Han Dynasty, but here we still use ** text as the standard).

(the first year of Taikang). The Romance of the Three Kingdoms** is generally the final ending.

Of course, the book continues to write about the three years of the death of the last monarch, namely "Liu Chan, the emperor of the Later Han Dynasty, died in the seventh year of the first year of Jin Tai (271 AD), Cao Huan, the lord of Wei, died in the first year of Tai'an (302 AD), and Sun Hao, the lord of Wu, died in the fourth year of Taikang (283 AD), all of which died well." This kind of afterword is not the story ontology of romance.
