Although it is a work of fiction, Luo Guanzhong's compelling account of the duel between Lü Bu, the mightiest warrior in the novel, and the three sworn brothers makes it one of the most celebrated events in Chinese culture. Several sects of Chinese opera, such as Cantonese opera, have skits relating to this battle (commonly known as "Three Heroes Battle Lü Bu"; simplified Chinese: 三英战吕布; traditional Chinese: 三英戰呂布; pinyin: Sān yīng zhàn Lǚ Bù).
More recently, this event has been reenacted in video games such as Koei's Dynasty Warriors and Sangokushi Sousouden, among others.

Famous quotes containing the word cultural:
“At times it seems that the media have become the mainstream culture in children’s lives. Parents have become the alternative. Americans once expected parents to raise their children in accordance with the dominant cultural messages. Today they are expected to raise their children in opposition to it.”
—Ellen Goodman (20th century)
