       The Shu, Wu, and Wei Empires occupied the eastern part of modern day China from 220 C.E. through about 280 C.E. This region is commonly referred to as China Proper. Many rivers pass through this area on their way to the ocean. Some of the most common are the: Yellow, Wei, Yangtze, and Xi. These rivers offer drinking water, food, transportation, and irragation for crops.When these rivers flood, they often do, they deposite minerals into the soil making better farm land. Both the Wu and Wei empireshad access to the ocean allowing for fishing, transportation, and possibly trade. There is also several moutain ranges in the northen part of the Wei empire. The most famous is the Changbai and it seperates modern day China and North Korea. China proper, it's rivers, and the mountains to the north were a huge part of the geography of the Three Kingdoms.
