Peach Garden Oath (which could completely use a better name) (No way!
"Peach Garden Oath" is a classic in Chinese literature, where three of its most famous heroes swore brotherhood under a peach tree.

In Lo Kuan-Chung's Yuan dynasty novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Kuan Kung appears as one of three legendary heroes who swear a famous “Oath of the Peach Garden,” suppress a rebellion, and reorganize the “broken empire of Han” into the legendary three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu (Lo 5­6, Harvey 263­65, Williams 211­12).

TIMOTHY R. In the title piece of his compilation of essays Bulletproof Buddhists, American writer Frank Chin recalls his experience of telling stories to high school students, including gun-toting toughs hardened by war, poverty and life in the city.
While reciting traditional tales such as Rumpelstiltskin or The Oath of the Peach Garden, Chin witnessed a transformation in his teen audience: "All these angry kids listened.
Their childhoods had been on hold." Chin had discovered that folk tales have the power to mesmerize adult listeners into releasing, if only momentarily, the children bound within the folds of the subconscious.
