Second, about Zhuge Liang's idioms: divide the world into three parts, borrow an arrow from a grass boat, burn Chibi, play hard to get, do your best, and capture Meng Huo seven times.
Iii. Introduction to Idioms (Excerpt):
1, Taoyuan Jieyi: Taoyuan Sanjieyi was originally a story recorded in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It tells that three people with lofty ideals, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, were congenial to each other for the goal of * * *, and their words and deeds depended on each other. They chose a peach blossom season and a gorgeous peach blossom garden to raise wine and make a pledge to heaven.
2. Visiting Mao Lu: From the winter of 207 to the spring of 208, Liu Bei, who was stationed in Xinye at that time, visited Zhuge Liang in Wolonggang, Nanyang for three times at the suggestion of Xu Shu, but it was not until the third power was seen that Zhuge Liang analyzed the world situation and put forward a strategic idea for Liu Bei to take Jingzhou as his home first, then Yizhou as a foothold and then the Central Plains.
Since then, it has become a much-told story, and it has gradually become an allusion, and it contains "The History of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Zhi, Zhuge Liang Chuan, and a model". Now it is often used to mean sincere, repeatedly inviting and visiting sages with expertise.
3. Burning Chibi: Battle of Red Cliffs refers to the famous battle in which Sun Quan and Liu Bei jointly defeated Cao Cao's army in Chibi of the Yangtze River (now northwest of chibi city, Hubei Province) in the 13th year of Jian 'an (208) at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, laying the foundation for the tripartite confrontation among the three countries. This is one of the most famous wars in China's history, and it is also the most famous one among the "three major battles" in the Three Kingdoms period. It is also the first large-scale river battle in the Yangtze River basin in China's history, which indicates that China's military and political center is no longer limited to the Yellow River basin. In the end, Sun and Liu joined forces to attack Cao Jun with fire, and Cao Cao returned to the north. Sun and Liu each took a part of Jingzhou.
4, grass boat borrow arrows:
Borrowing Arrows from Grass Boat is a famous bridge in Battle of Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms. Borrowing Arrows was deliberately put forward by Zhou Yu (limited to 100,000 arrows in ten days). The witty Zhuge Liang saw through it at a glance and said calmly that it only took three days. Later, with the help of foggy days, Zhuge Liang used Cao Cao's suspicious character to lure the enemy with several straw boats, and finally borrowed 100 thousand arrows to make great achievements.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang's courage and wisdom in Borrowing Arrows from Grass Boat was praised by later generations, which led to the creation of many anecdotes of idioms and theatrical performances, which promoted the enlightenment and development of wisdom.
Third, two profiles:
1, Liu Bei (16 1 year-June, 223 10), whose name is Xuande, was born in Zhuoxian County (now Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province), a descendant of Liu Sheng, the King of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty, and the founding emperor and politician of Shu and Han Dynasties in the Three Kingdoms period.
Liu Bei drifted from place to place in his early years, prepared for hardships, and took refuge in many princes. In Battle of Red Cliffs, the alliance with Sun Quan defeated Cao Cao and seized Jingzhou. Then forge ahead and profit. In the first year of Zhangwu (22 1 year), he became emperor in Chengdu, with the title of Han, and was called Shu or Shu Han in history. "The History of the Three Kingdoms" commented that Liu Bei's machine power was not as good as Cao Cao's, but he was generous, knew people and treated people with perseverance, and eventually became an emperor. Liu Bei also said that he did things "every time he went against Cao Cao, he succeeded."
In the third year of Zhangwu (223), Liu Bei died of illness in Baidicheng at the age of sixty-three. He was Emperor Zhaolie of posthumous title, whose temple number was fierce, and was buried in Huiling. There are many literary and artistic works featuring him in later generations, and Zhaolie Temple is commemorated in Wuhou Temple in Chengdu.
2. Zhuge Liang (18 1 year-2341October 8), born in Yangdu, Xuzhou (now yinan county, Linyi City, Shandong Province), was the prime minister of Shu and Han in the Three Kingdoms period.
Zhuge Liang lost his father in his childhood, went to Nanyang with his uncle, and then followed Liu Bei, laying the foundation for Liu Bei to have one of the three worlds. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shu Han was named the Hou of Wuxiang, and he consoled the people at home, showed etiquette, made appointments to official posts, was subordinate to power, was sincere and fair, and joined forces with Wu to resist Wei. In order to realize the political ideal of recovering Han, he made several northern expeditions, but failed for lack of good generals, and finally died in Wuzhangyuan. Liu Chan regarded him as a loyal Wuhou, so later generations often regarded Zhuge Liang as Wuhou and Zhuge Wuhou. Because of its military ability, the Eastern Jin regime made him the King of Wuxing.
