Zhuge Liang’s deeds and Zhuge Liang’s story
Three visits to the thatched cottage
When Liu Bei settled in Xinye, he realized that the reason why he had wasted half his life was that although Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other powerful generals around him, If there is no counselor who can make plans and plans, he will seek good help from virtuous corporals. On the recommendation of Sima Hui and Xu Shu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei came to Longzhong, Xiangyang, to visit Zhuge Liang.
When they first came to the thatched cottage, Liang had already gone out, and the three of them met Liang's friend Cui Zhouping on their way back; a few days later, Liu, Guan, and Zhang braved the wind and snow to visit the thatched cottage. On the way, I met Liang's good friends Shi Guangyuan and Meng Gongwei. When he arrived at the thatched cottage, he saw Liang's younger brother Zhuge Jun. Only then did he know that Liang had gone on a trip and was preparing to leave a note expressing his admiration. When returning, he met Liang's father-in-law, Huang Chengyan, by the small bridge at the foot of Longzhong Mountain. After a while, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei visited the thatched cottage three times, and they happened to find Liang at home, but he had not woken up from his nap. Liu Bei asked Guan and Zhang to wait outside the door. He walked in slowly and stood at the foot of the stairs with his hands folded. They did not meet each other until they woke up. [Sangu Hall: Built in the 58th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1719 AD), it is the memorial hall of Liu Bei's "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage" and Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Dui". ]
Longzhong vs.
After the Battle of Guandu, Liu Bei fled to Jingzhou and defected to Liu Biao. Liu Biao assigned him some troops and stationed him in Xinye (now Xinye County, Henan).
Liu Bei was an ambitious man, but he was always unhappy because his ambitions were not realized. He wanted to find a good assistant. He found out that there was a famous person named Sima Hui in Xiangyang, so he went to visit him.
Sima Hui said: "There are Wolong and Fengchu (pronounced chú) in this area. If you can invite one of them, you can bring peace to the world." Sima Hui told Liu Bei: Wolong's name is Zhuge Liang. , whose courtesy name is Kongming; Fengchu's name is Pang Tong, whose courtesy name is Shiyuan.
Xu Shu was also a local celebrity. He came to join him because he heard that Liu Bei was recruiting talents. Liu Bei was very happy and kept Xu Shu as a counselor. Xu Shu said: "I have an old friend Zhuge Kongming, people call him Wolong. General, would you like to meet him?" Liu Bei listened to Xu Shu's introduction and said, "Since you are so familiar with him, please take the trouble to go there." , invite him here!" Xu Shu shook his head and said, "This is not possible. The general must invite him in person to show your sincerity."
Liu Bei heard Sima one after another. Hui and Xu Shu respected Zhuge Liang and knew that Zhuge Liang must be a great talent, so they took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Longzhong to find Zhuge Liang. After visiting the thatched cottage three times, Zhuge Liang was finally moved by Liu Bei's sincerity and received Liu Bei in his thatched cottage.
After listening to Zhuge Liang's incisive and thorough analysis, Liu Bei suddenly became enlightened. He felt that Zhuge Liang's talent was rare, so he sincerely asked Zhuge Liang to come out and help him complete the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang then came out to assist Liu Bei.
Later, people called this incident "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage" and Zhuge Liang's conversation was called "Longzhong Dui". (It is said to be Longzhong, Xiangyang, or Nanyang. It is difficult to decide?)
Wuzhangyuan
Wuzhangyuan is located in Qishan County, Baoji City, 130 kilometers east of Xi'an and 56 kilometers west of Baoji. kilometers, 25 kilometers north of Qishan County. It is more than 20 meters high and covers an area of ??about 12 square kilometers. Wuzhangyuan is surrounded by Qipan Mountain in the south and Weihe River in the north. The east and west sides are deep ditches carved by the river, making the situation dangerous. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang stationed troops in Wuzhangyuan to fight against Sima Yi. He later died of illness in Wuzhangyuan due to overwork, and Wuzhangyuan became famous all over the world. It was Zhuge Liang's last battlefield during the Three Kingdoms period.
In 234 AD, Zhuge Liang led his troops from Hanzhong, passed through the Qinling Mountains, and stationed at Wuzhangyuan. When we first arrived, we were short of food and grass, so we first settled in the fields to train our troops and waited to attack Wei. Wei general Sima Yi was well aware of Zhuge Liang's clever plan, so he stayed on the north bank of the Wei River and did not dare to send troops rashly. The two sides remained in a stalemate for a hundred days at Wuzhangyuan without fighting. Zhuge Liang had to lure Wei soldiers into Hulugou to fight, and set fire to the mouth of the valley in order to defeat Wei general Sima Yi. Unexpectedly, a heavy rain caused the Wei army to escape death. In the autumn of the same year, Zhuge Liang died of illness in the army, and the Shu army was defeated. When Sima Yi entered the place where Zhuge Liang was commanding the battle, he saw the dangerous position of the Shu army and exclaimed: "There are geniuses in the world." In order to commemorate Zhuge Liang, later generations built a temple here.
According to local folklore, when Zhuge Liang died, a star fell from the sky, hence the name. The place where Zhuge Liang farmed was known as "Zhuge Tian".
The place where Zhuge Liang set up military tents to command operations still has the remains of a half-meter-high city wall, about 250 meters long from north to south and nearly 100 meters wide from east to west. The local people named this small castle "Huoluo City". On the Qinling hillside south of Huoluo City, there is a flat stone with chessboard lines on it. It is said that Zhuge Liang played chess here, so the mountain was named "Qipan Mountain". Many "Zhuge pots" have been found in the soil of Wuzhangyuan, and the iron pots have official script characters of the Han Dynasty cast on them. Wudaiyuan is now a farmland, and tourists here always want to find the remains and rumors of the ancient battlefield. There is a bay in the middle of the farmland, which is called Luo Xing Bay locally, and the village in the bay is called Luo Xing Fort.
There is Zhuge Liang Temple at the north end of Wuzhangyuan. It was founded in the early Yuan Dynasty and rebuilt in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. On the walls on both sides of the Xian Hall in the temple, there are paintings of stories of the Three Kingdoms, such as Ancient City Meeting, Empty City Strategy, Three Wars with Lu Bu, etc. There are 40 pieces of bluestone inlaid under the mural. Yue Fei's handwritten "Execution of the Master" is engraved on the stone with vigorous and powerful handwriting. In front of the stone, there is a stone inscription by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, praising Yue Fei: "pure and uninflected, his writing is like his person". (Some say it was Xiangyang Longzhong, others said it was Nanyang, is it difficult to decide?)
The Story of Zhuge Liang
------The following is compiled at the request of netizens. 2004.03.31
Eat melons and leave seeds
Zhuge Liang can not only grow good crops, but also has a good skill in growing watermelons. There used to be such a rule in Xiangyang area: when entering the watermelon garden, you can eat enough melons, but you cannot take away the melon seeds. It is said that this "rule" was also invited by Ge Liang to stay.
The watermelon grown by Zhuge Liang is large, sweet, and sour without tail. Everyone who comes to Longzhong as a guest or passes by must go to the melon garden to feast their mouths. The old farmers around came to learn from him the experience of growing melons. He told them without reservation that the melons should be planted on sandy soil and covered with sesame cakes or sesame oil. Many people came to ask him for watermelon seeds. Because they had not paid attention to saving the seeds before, many people had to leave disappointed. The next year, the watermelon garden opened again, and he put a sign on the ground that read: "Eat the melon tubes and keep the seeds."
Zhuge Liang washed the melon seeds, dried them in the sun, and then Distributed to nearby melon farmers. Today, watermelons from Jiajiahu, Changfengzhou and Xiaofanzhou on the sandy land on both sides of the Han River are still famous for their large size, thin skin and sweet taste. In some places, the old rule of "eating melons and leaving seeds" is still observed.
Zhuge Liang’s Goose Feather Fan
Zhuge Liang’s Goose Feather Fan represents wisdom and talent, so in dramas about Zhuge Liang, Kong Ming always holds a goose feather fan in his hand.
Regarding the goose feather fan, there is a popular story among the people. Huang Chengyan’s daughter Huang Yueying is not ugly, but a very smart, beautiful and talented girl. Huang Chengyan was afraid that promising young people would not recognize Jingshan jade, so he called his daughter "A Chou". Ah Chou Huang Yueying not only writes eloquently, but also has outstanding martial arts skills. She once studied under a famous teacher. When Yicheng came down the mountain, the master gave her a goose feather fan with the words "Ming" and "Liang" written on it. The two characters also contain densely packed strategies for conquering cities and territories and governing the country. He also told her that anyone with the word "Ming Ming" in his name is your rightful husband. Later, Huang Chengyan's son-in-law riding a dragon was Zhuge Liang, the future prime minister of Shu who had the two characters "ming" and "liang" in his name. When she got married, Huang Yueying gave Zhuge Liang a goose feather fan as a gift. Kong Ming loved the goose feather fan like a pearl in his palm and was inseparable. In doing so, he not only expresses the sincere and undying love between their husband and wife, but more importantly, he skillfully uses Shan Shang's strategy. So no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, I always keep my fan in hand.
During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Hongen, the observation envoy to Xiangyang, wrote in "Zhuge Thatched Cottage Poems": "The fan shakes the moon and the tripod is divided into three parts, and the stone is dark and the clouds are eight formations." This is enough to prove that Zhuge Liang is holding a goose feather in his hand. The function of the fan and the reason why he never leaves his hand.
NOTE: Nanyang Wuhou Temple also has a saying of "visiting the thatched cottage three times", which is difficult to conclude. Everyone can watch it.
Zhuge Liang's "Execution of the Master"
The minister said clearly: The late emperor was not halfway through his business, but the middle path collapsed. Today, Yizhou is exhausted, and this is the autumn of life and death. also. However, the ministers of the bodyguard are tireless in their internal affairs; those who are loyal and lofty are those who forget about themselves and the outside world. This is because I want to repay the special treatment of the late Emperor to His Majesty. It is sincerely appropriate to open up the Holy Ting to honor the legacy of the late emperor and to magnify the spirit of lofty ideals; it is not appropriate to belittle oneself, to use metaphors that are unjust, and to block the road of loyalty and remonstrance. In the palace and in the mansion, they are all integrated; there should be no similarities or differences in terms of punishments and punishments: if there are those who commit crimes and are loyal and good, they should be handed over to an official to discuss their punishments and rewards, so as to show your Majesty's rule of peace; it is not suitable to be partial and make different laws inside and outside. also.
The ministers in charge, Guo Youzhi, Fei Yi, Dong Yun, etc., are all good and honest, with pure intentions and loyal intentions. Therefore, the late emperor simply removed them and left them to Your Majesty: I foolishly thought that the matters in the palace were not big or small, so I consulted them carefully and then implemented them. , it will surely make up for the shortcomings and bring about widespread benefits. The general Xiang Chong was of good character and well-versed in military affairs. He tried it out in the past. The late emperor called him "Neng" and he was elected as the superintendent by the consensus of the public. He thought that things in the camp were not big or small, so he took them into consideration. It will be able to make the formation harmonious, and the good and the bad will be found. Being close to virtuous ministers and staying away from villains is why the early Han Dynasty prospered; being close to villains and being distant from virtuous ministers is why the Han Dynasty has declined since then. When the late Emperor was here, every time he discussed this matter with his ministers, he would always sigh and hate Huan and Ling! Shizhong, Shangshu, Changshi, and the army are all ministers who have passed away on the occasion of Zhenliang’s death. I hope Your Majesty will love them and trust them, so that the Han Dynasty will be prosperous. You can count on it.
I am a commoner, working hard in Nanyang, trying to survive in troubled times, and not seeking to be heard by the princes. The late emperor did not think that his ministers were despicable, and he was in vain. He paid three visits to his ministers in the thatched cottage, and consulted them about the affairs of the world. He was so grateful that he allowed the late emperor to drive away. Later, when the army was overthrown, he was appointed to the position when the army was defeated, and he was ordered to be in danger: You have been here for twenty-one years. The late emperor was cautious in informing his ministers, so he sent his ministers important information when he was about to die. Since receiving the order, I have been worried day and night, fearing that the entrustment would not be effective and would damage the late emperor's wisdom. Therefore, I crossed Lu in the fifth month and reached a barren depth. Now that the south has been secured, and the armor and troops are sufficient, it is time to reward the three armies, and to the north to secure the central plains, to exhaust the common people and the dull, to drive out the traitors, to revive the Han Dynasty, and to return to the old capital: This is why I repay the late emperor and serve your majesty loyally. As for considering profits and losses, and giving good advice, then you, yi, yun, etc. are all responsible. May your Majesty ask his ministers to bring the thief back to life, and if it fails, he will be punished, so as to report the spirit of the late emperor. If there is no word of revival, blame You, Yi, Yun, etc., to show his slowness. It is also advisable for Your Majesty to make your own plans, consult the good people, listen to the elegant words, and follow the late emperor's edict deeply. I am extremely grateful! Now I should stay away from you, crying in front of my face, not knowing what I mean.
Zhuge Liang's "Later Discipline"?
The first emperor was worried about the conflict between the Han and the thieves, and the king's career was not in peace, so he asked his ministers to punish the thieves. Based on the wisdom of the late emperor, the talents of ministers were measured. Therefore, knowing that ministers are capable of defeating thieves will only weaken the enemy's strength. However, if the thieves are not defeated, the royal industry will also perish. If he just sits there and waits for death, who can attack him? This is why I entrust my ministers with no doubts. On the day when I received the order, I could not sleep well, and my food was not tasty. I was thinking about the northern expedition, so I should go to the south first. Therefore, I crossed Lu in the fifth month, went deep into the barren area, and ate by the sun. --I am not without pity for myself: I don't care about the king's career and I can't be content with the capital of Shu, so I can't fulfill the late emperor's wishes at the risk of danger. But those who discussed it said it was not a plan. Nowadays, the thieves are tired of being in the west and are busy in the east. The art of war is to "take advantage of the labor": this is the time to advance. I would like to state the matter as follows:
The Emperor Gao Ming merged with the sun and the moon, and his advisers were deeply involved. However, he was involved in danger and was injured. , Sit down and control the world: This minister has not yet solved one thing. Liu Yao and Wang Lang, each based in the prefectures and counties, discussed the plan of peace and quiet, and attracted the saints. They were full of doubts and troubles. They did not fight this year and did not conquer next year, so that Sun Ce became powerful and merged with Jiangdong. What is the future of this minister? Solution two. Cao Cao's wisdom and plan were second to none. His use of troops was similar to that of Sun and Wu. However, he was trapped in Nanyang, in danger of Wuchao, in danger of Qilian, forced in Liyang, almost defeated Beishan, and almost died in Tongguan, and then pretended to be settled for a while. Er; the situation is that the minister is weak in talent, but he wants to make sure that he is not in danger: this minister has three unsolved problems. Cao Cao failed to attack Changba five times, and failed to cross Chaohu. He appointed Li Fu, but Li Fu tried his best, and appointed Xiahou, but Xiahou was defeated. Every time the late emperor said that Cao Cao was capable, he still failed like this. How can he win with a crossbow? This minister's question is not clear. Four. When I arrived in Hanzhong, I lost Zhao Yun, Yang Qun, Ma Yu, Yan Zhi, Ding Li, Bai Shou, Liu He, Deng Tong, etc., and drove more than 70 generals from Changtun. Cong Sou, Qing Qiang, and more than a thousand scattered cavalry and armed cavalry. Within a few decades, the elites from all four directions were gathered together, which is not owned by one state. If it takes several years, two-thirds will be lost. --Why should I seek an enemy? This minister has five unsolved problems. Nowadays, the people are exhausted and the army is exhausted, but things cannot stop; things cannot stop, so the labor and expenses of living and traveling are equal. It is not as good as the present picture. If you want to use the land of a state to fight against the thieves for a long time: this minister has six unsolved problems.
Those who find it difficult to calm down are things. In the past, the first emperor was defeated by Chu. At this time, Cao Cao raised his hand and said that the world was settled. --Then the late emperor connected Wu and Yue to the east, took Ba and Shu to the west, raised his troops to march north, and was led by the Marquis of Xia: This was a miscalculation, and the Han Dynasty was about to succeed. --Then Wu Geng violated the alliance, Guan Yu was defeated, Zigui fell into disgrace, and Cao Pi became emperor: everything is like this and it is difficult to reverse it. The minister devoted himself to death and died; as for success or failure, it is not the minister's wisdom that can reverse it.
Mourning for Zhou Yu
Oh Gong Jin, unfortunately died young! Wouldn't it hurt people if they shorten the old heaven? My heart is really aching, so I have a glass of wine. If you are wise, please enjoy my steaming and tasting! To encourage the king to learn from a young age, to hand over the talisman to the uncle; to show righteousness and spread wealth, to make sacrifices for the people. Hanging the king's crown is weak, but thousands of miles of power are rolling; establishing hegemony and separatist rule in the south of the Yangtze River.
The emperor is strong and powerful, and Baqiu is far away. The emperor's abundance makes him a good match for Xiao Qiao; the son-in-law of a Han minister is worthy of his dynasty; the emperor's spirit is worthy of his dynasty; he accepts advice and advice; he does not hang his wings at first, but he can finally fly up. Diaojun Poyang, Jiang Qian said; free and elegant, high ambition. Use your talent to show off your talent, use civil and military strategies; attack with fire to defeat the enemy, and turn the strong into weak. I miss you when you were so majestic and heroic; I cry that you died young and fell to the ground bleeding. With a loyal heart and a spirit of heroism; after three centuries of life, my name will be remembered for generations to come. I mourn you deeply and have a thousand knots of sorrow in my heart; but my liver and gallbladder have no end to my sorrow. The sky is dark and the three armies are in despair; the Lord is weeping; the friends are weeping. Liang is not talented, he begs for advice; he helps Wu to resist Cao, and assists Han to secure Liu; he provides help from head to tail, and if he survives or dies, what worries is there? Woohoo Gongjin! Farewell to life and death! Just keep your chastity, and your soul will disappear, as if it has a spirit, to learn from my heart: From now on, there will be no sound in the world! Wow, it hurts! Fu Wei is still delicious.
Book of Commandments to Sons
The conduct of a gentleman is to cultivate one’s character through tranquility and cultivate one’s virtue through frugality. Without indifference, there is no clear ambition; without tranquility, there is no far-reaching goal. Learning requires tranquility, and talent requires learning. Without learning, there is no way to expand talents, and without ambition, there is no way to achieve learning. If you are impatient and slow, you will not be able to stimulate your essence, and if you are dangerous and impetuous, you will not be able to cure your nature. Years go with the times, thoughts go with the sun, and they become withered and withered. Many people do not take on the world, and they stay in the poor house with sadness. How will they be able to get back to you!
Translation: People with moral cultivation carry out self-cultivation and exercise in this way. They use meditation and reflection to perfect themselves, and they cultivate their noble character by being frugal and saving money. If you don't have a clear mind and few desires, you won't be able to make your ambitions clear and firm. If you don't have stability and tranquility, you won't be able to realize your lofty ideals and study hard for a long time. To learn true knowledge, one must study and explore in tranquility, both physically and mentally. People’s talents are accumulated from continuous learning. If you don’t study hard, you can’t grow and develop your talents. If you don’t have an unwavering will, you can’t make progress in your studies. success. Indulgence and debauchery, negativity and neglect cannot encourage the mind and spirit; careless adventure, impatience and restlessness cannot cultivate the temperament and ennoble moral integrity. If the years and years are wasted and the time is wasted, eventually it will age like a fallen leaf day by day. Such people will not be used by society and benefit society. They will only be sadly trapped in their own poor family and ruins. By then it will be too late to regret. (Lanxi Zhuge Village) [Note: At the request of netizen Wu Chunsen]
Longzhong said to
Liang Liang replied: "Since Dong Zhuo came, heroes have risen together and connected counties across states. Countless. Compared to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was only a little famous but outnumbered. However, Cao Cao was able to overcome Shao and use the weak to become strong. This was not just due to the timing of the day, but also due to human conspiracy. And the princes are told not to compete with him. Sun Quan has occupied Jiangdong for three generations. The country is in danger and the people are attached to it. The virtuous people can use it. Jingzhou can be used to support Han and Mian in the north, and it can benefit from the South China Sea. It connects Wuhui to the east and Ba and Shu to the west. This is a country that uses military force, but its master cannot defend it. It is almost impossible for the general to be a general. Doesn't the general have any intention? Become an emperor. Liu Zhang is weak, Zhang Lu is in the north, the people are prosperous and the country is rich but they don't know how to care. The general is the king of the emperor. Yi, protect the rocks, make peace with the Rong in the west, pacify the Yiyue in the south, befriend Sun Quan externally, and cultivate political principles internally. If there is a change in the world, order a general to lead the Jingzhou army to Wan and Luo, and the general will lead Yi. The people of the state have come out of Qinchuan, and who among the people dares not to eat pots of pulp to welcome the general? If this is the case, then the hegemony will be achieved and the Han Dynasty will be prosperous."
Translation: Zhuge Liang replied: "Since Dong Zhuo usurped power, heroes from all over the country have raised armies and occupied countless states and counties. Compared with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao has a smaller reputation and fewer troops. However, Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shao and turn from weak to strong. Not only was the timing good, but also People's plans are right. Now Cao Cao has an army of millions, and he can't compete with him to control the emperor. Sun Quan has occupied Jiangdong for three generations. In this regard, you can use him as foreign aid, but do not seek him. The north of Jingzhou controls the Han and Mian Rivers, and supplies can be obtained all the way to the South China Sea. The east is connected to Wu County and Kuaiji County, and the west is connected to Ba and Shu County. It is a place that must be fought over by military strategists, but its master Liu Biao cannot hold it. This place is probably provided by God to support the general. Doesn’t the general intend to occupy it? Yizhou has dangerous passes and vast and fertile land. It is natural. It was a place with superior conditions, abundant products, and a dangerous situation. It was because of this place that Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty achieved his imperial achievements. Liu Ling, the herdsman of Yizhou, was weak and cowardly. Zhang Lu occupied Hanzhong in the north. The people were prosperous and the country was strong, but he did not know how to cherish it. People. People with intelligence and talent want to have a wise monarch.
General, since you are a descendant of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, your prestige and loyalty are famous all over the world, and you recruit heroes extensively. You are thirsty for virtuous people. If you occupy Jingzhou and Yizhou, relying on the dangerous terrain of the two states, you can conquer the west and the various states. To reconcile the tribes, pacify the tribes in the south, form an alliance with Sun Quan externally, and improve the country's politics internally; if the situation in the world changes, send a superior general to lead the Jingzhou army to march towards Nanyang and Luoyang. General, you will personally Lead the Yizhou army to attack Qinchuan. Who dares to welcome you without bringing food in bamboo baskets and wine in pots? If this is really done, then the Han Dynasty's political power can be revived. ”
