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.
