After analyzing the situation in the world with him, Zhuge Liang expressed his willingness to go out to assist Liu Bei.

The significance of three visits to the thatched cottage:

"In a threesome, there must be a teacher", and everyone has their own advantages and places to learn. Ask questions from others, or ask for help from others. You must be sincere and patient. You can't back down when you encounter difficulties, just like Liu Bei, you don't despise Zhuge Liang because of this, so the Shu and Han dynasties have further glory. Assuming that Liu Bei has no manners, Zhuge Liang will definitely not come out to help; Assuming Zhuge Liang didn't help him, it would be difficult for Liu Bei to establish the Shu-Han regime. In fact, behind the "three visits to the cottage" is the thirst for talents.
