It previously existed from 220 - 222 as a vassal kingdom nominally under Wei, its rival state, but declared independence from Wei and became a sovereign state in 222. It became an empire in 229 after its founding ruler, Sun Quan, declared himself emperor. Below the kanji is drawings of Sun Ce (孫策, center), Sun Jian (孫堅, right) and Zhou Yu (周瑜, left).

"Wei" (魏) or Cao Wei (曹魏) was one of the three major states that competed for supremacy over China in the Three Kingdoms period, based in the northern part of China. Established by Cao Pi in 220, based upon the foundations laid by his father, Cao Cao, towards the end of the Eastern Han dynasty. The name "Wei" first became associated with Cao Cao when he was named the Duke of Wei by the Han government in 213, and later became the name of the state. The Three Kingdoms (220 - 280 AD) was the tripartite division of China between the states of Wei, Shu, and Wu.
