You are here: [ Home –> Three Kingdoms History –> Officer Names –> Alphabetical: N-r ]

Welcome to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms English/Chinese Hanzi project. The objective is simple. We wish to create an ever-growing list of Chinese officers with their names as found in English followed by their Chinese Hanzi. If you know the Hanzi for even one officer that is not listed on this page, please send me an email. You can send the decimal values over my text form, link to a web page, or wait for me to reply so you can get my address.
