魏蜀吳，爭漢鼎，號三國，迄兩晉。
Wei, Shu and Wu fought over the Han throne. They are called the Three Kingdoms, and they lasted until the two Jin.
宋齊繼，梁陳承，爲南朝，都金陵。
Song and Qi followed, Liang and Chen came after: these were the Southern Dynasties, with their capital at Jinling.
北元魏，分東西，宇文周，與高齊。
In the north, the Wei of the Yuan house split into East and West; then came the Zhou of the Yuwen and the Qi of the Gao.
Draft translation; it will be revised when the lecture is filmed.
From the Father's Lecture Notes
This stretch is chaotic, and the child need not memorise it. A dozen state names pop up in twelve characters, several of them old names used before. The one thing to teach is this: dynasty names get reused, so when you hear one, don't assume; ask which one it is.
Translated from Yikonglu's Father's Lecture Notes for the Three Character Classic, written for a parent teaching a child.
