大漢昭烈帝衡陽五虎

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Kingdoms

"The Three Kingdoms (AD 220–280), a tripartite between the states of Wei (Chinese: 魏), Shu (蜀), and Wu (吳), followed the loss of the de facto power of the Han dynasty in China, ushering in the start of the Period of Disunity. To further distinguish the three states from other historical Chinese states of the same name, historians have added a relevant character: Wei is also known as Cao Wei (曹魏), Shu is also known as Shu Han (蜀漢), and Wu is also known as Eastern Wu (東吳). The term "Three Kingdoms" itself is something of a mistranslation, since each state was eventually headed not by a king, but by an emperor who claimed legitimate succession from the Han dynasty. Nevertheless, the term "Three Kingdoms" has become standard among sinologists."

漢昭烈皇帝諱備，字玄德。延熹四年生，中山靖王後也。父為漢官，早死，遂與母編草維生計。年十五，母令其遊學，備偕同宗劉德然師盧植，同門有公孫瓚。德然父元起資備，其妻嘗曰：「各自一家，何能常爾邪！」對曰：「吾宗中有此兒，非常人也。」

五虎将又稱五虎上將、五虎大將，最初是《三國演義》蜀汉将领关羽、张飞、马超、黄忠和赵云五人的稱號，《三国志》中，陈寿将蜀汉将领关羽、张飞、马超、黄忠和赵云五人合为一传（《三国志·蜀书·关张马黄赵传》），後來《三国志平话》、《三國演義》合稱為五虎上将。[1]，其構想是仿自《三國志》五位曹魏將領的合稱－五子良將。
