"The Chinese are mostly based on the Han Dynasty of China. However, the mass use of Cataphracts, Chu Ko Nu and Halberdiers (instead of the more accurate Qiang Spearman) are references to the later Jin, Liang and Tang Dynasties."

Chu Ko Nu and Halberds were known weapons utilized as early as the Warring States period, long before the Han Dynasty. Depending on how the Chiense define cataphracts, mass cavalry was a stable of Chinese armies since the Western Han dynasty, and definitely during the Three Kingdoms period where they were referred to as iron riders.

Qiang simply means spear, and there were many types of spears.

The Chinese halberd is called a ji, a very popular anti-cavary/chariot weapon during the Warring States period.

Chu Ko Nu, or more accurately Zhuge nu, is named in honor of the Three Kingdoms tactician Zhuge Liang. During the warring states period, a crossbow of such type was simply called liannu, or repeating crossbow.
