“3K” was derived from imperial Chinese history. It refers to the “Three Kingdoms” period (184 – 280) and was a very transformational period of great innovation. It was marked with the concept of merging empires/kingdoms of the period, much like we envision 3K being a merger of cultures today. A commonly known Chinese saying is derived from this same period….”It is a general truism of this world that anything long divided will surely unite”, (話說天下大勢，分久必合).
