As for the origin of the word Sichuan, it was in the later Northern Song Dynasty, according to records, the Northern Song Dynasty first set up Xichuan Road and Xiaxi Road in the area of the present-day Sichuan Basin, which were collectively called "Chuanxia Second Road", and later merged the two roads into Chuanxia Road. During the Xianping period of Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Chuanxia Road was divided into Yizhou Road (later changed to Chengdu Fu Road), Zizhou Road, Lizhou Road and Kuizhou Road, collectively known as "Sichuan Gorge Four Road", and the Southern Song Dynasty was also called "Sichuan Road", which was the beginning of "Sichuan" as a pronoun for administrative divisions, and Sichuan got its name from this.

In the eighteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, the "Sichuan Province and Other Places" was formally established, referred to as "Sichuan Province", and then referred to as "Sichuan Province", which was the beginning of the name of "Sichuan" Province. Since then, the name "Sichuan" has been used.

After reading these materials, I have a basic understanding of Sichuan, and then maybe the habits of my profession, I will unconsciously pay attention to the story of Zhuge Liang in that period, that is, after Zhuge Liang helped Liu Bei become emperor in Yizhou, because I have watched the TV series Romance of the Three Kingdoms before, the image of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei is already the image created in the TV series, but after carefully reading some records on these historical materials, I found that it seems that the previous understanding of Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei seems to be a little too one-sided.

For example, Zhuge Liang's calligraphy is not told in the TV series, but it is recorded in historical materials: "Zhuge Liang loves calligraphy, and he has been trained hard when he was a teenager, and he can write a variety of fonts, seal script, eight points, and cursive script are all very good."

Liang Tao Hongjing of the Southern Dynasty was a great calligrapher, and his book "Sword Record" recorded: "In the first year of Shu Zhangwu Xin Chou (221 AD), he mined gold and ox mountain iron, and cast eight iron swords, each three feet six inches long,...... And it is the corner of Kong Ming's calligraphy. ”。 Yu Li's "Ancient Ding Lu" recorded: "Zhuge Liang killed Wang Shuang, returned to Dingjun Mountain, cast a tripod, buried in Hanchuan, and its text said: Dingjun Ding." It also makes eight arrays of tripods, sinking in the water of Yong'an, all of which are big seals. "In the second year of the first Zhangwu (222 AD), a tripod was cast in Hanchuan, the name was Ke Han Ding, placed in the Bingxue, and the eight-point book was ...... Another tripod is cast in Chengdu Wudan Mountain, the name is Zen Ding; Another tripod is cast in the Jianshan Pass, the name of the sword mountain tripod. And the small seal book, all are the traces of the Marquis of Wu. ""In the third year of Zhang Wu (223 AD), Yi made two tripods, one and the king of Lu, and the text said: 'Fuguichang, Yihou Wang.'; One and the king of Liang, the text said: 'Great auspiciousness, King Yigong. And the ancient book, three feet high, are all traces of the Marquis of Wu. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhou Yue's "Ancient and Modern Law Library" also recorded: "The first master of Shu tasted three tripods, all of which were eight points of Wuhou Seal, which was extremely wonderful. ”。 Tao Hongjing of the Southern Dynasty was only more than 200 years away from Zhuge Liang, and his observations and accounts should be based on facts.

Song Huizong Xuanhe Inner Mansion "Xuanhe Book Pedigree" volume 13 recorded: Zhuge Liang "is good at painting, but also likes to make cursive characters, although not called a book, the world has its relics, will treasure it." He also said: "The cursive script in the collection of the Imperial Mansion is 1: "Far Away Post". This shows that at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty (1119-1125 AD), Zhuge Liang's calligraphy works were still treasured in the palace. Chen Si's "Book of Small History" in the Southern Song Dynasty recorded: Zhuge Liang "is good at its seal for eight points, and there are words such as 'Xuanmo Taiji, mixed yin and yang' in today's law, and it is a special work".

In this way, Zhuge Liang has never forgotten calligraphy in his busy government affairs and military activities, and the historical material "Changde Mansion Chronicles" records: "Wolong Ink Pond is in the Wolong Temple in the west thirty miles of Yuanjiang County. It is said that Han Zhuge Wuhou Dimo is in this temple, because of the name. "Zhuge Liang's activities in the Changde area were after the Battle of Chibi, and the battles were very tense and frequent, but he still did not forget to wave in the pool.

The most illustrative of Zhuge Liang is not only good at strategizing mercenaries, but also a full literary and artistic male god, out of calligraphy, according to records, Zhuge Liang is also quite good at painting.

For example, Zhang Yanyuan of the Tang Dynasty wrote in "Records of Famous Paintings of the Past Dynasties": "Zhuge Wuhou's father and son are both good at painting. Zhang Yanyuan also recorded the collection and sale of paintings at that time in his book "On Painting". He said: "Today is divided into three ancient times to determine the noble and low, and the three kingdoms of Han and Wei are ancient, then Zhao Qi, Liu Yan, Cai Yong, Zhang Heng, Cao Chao, Yang Xiu, Huan Fan, Xu Miao, Cao Buxing, Zhuge Liang and others are also. Zhang Yanyuan also recorded the selling price of the paintings of some modern painters at that time, such as Yan Liben and Wu Daozi: "A screen is worth 20,000 yuan, and a fan is worth 15,000 yuan," and "a fan is worth 10,000 yuan." He also said that the works of the painters of the Han and Wei dynasties (that is, ancient times) were already "the treasures of the country and the family" and "the treasures of the Xi Dynasty" in the Tang Dynasty. In Zhang Yanyuan's account, we can roughly see Zhuge Liang's historical position and artistic achievements in the history of Chinese art.

and the Eastern Jin Dynasty historian Chang Xuan's "Huayang National Chronicles" recorded: "In Nanzhong, its customs recruit witches and ghosts, curse the alliance, throw stones and grass, and officials often ask for it with curses." Zhuge Liang is to make a map for Yi, first draw the heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, the Great Wall Mansion, and then draw the dragon, the dragon Shengyi and the cow, horse, camel and sheep. The chief officer of the painting department, riding a horse and a banner, patrolling and commemorating. He also painted the image of the morning glory carrying the wine and the golden treasure, so as to give the innocence, and the slaughter was very heavy. From the above records, it can be seen that Zhuge Liang did have extraordinary painting talents. His paintings are not only based on real life (such as the life of ethnic minorities in Nanzhong) but also magical and rich imagination (such as Shenlong, etc.), and the composition is magnificent and the scene is extensive.

It is enough to show that Zhuge Liang is an absolute god-level character in modern times, calligraphy, painting, and music are simply proficient in everything, not to mention his tall IQ of more than 200 yuan.

Looking at these historical gossip, it was the first time that I found it so interesting to look at these dense and obscure historical materials.

Second, I saw a paragraph that recorded Zhuge Liang's mastery of music, saying that Zhuge Liang was proficient in music, liked to play the piano and sing, and had a high musical accomplishment. He also listed many accounts of this aspect in ancient books. For example, Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms? The Biography of Zhuge Liang recorded: "Xuanshu, Liang bowed and cultivated Longmu, so as to chant for Liang's father." Xi chisel's "Xiangyang Old Records": "Xiangyang has the former residence of Kong Ming...... The west of the house is near the water, Kong Ming often climbs it, and the drum is "Liang Father's Yin", because the name of this mountain is Leshan. Of course, there is also Wolong Yin, which is really a swan song for the ages, "Zhongxing Bibliography" records: "The Book of Qin" is a volume, Zhuge Liang wrote about the beginning of the piano making and the sound of the seven strings, and the meaning of the thirteen emblems to take the image. Xie Xiyi's "Treatise on the Qin" also recorded: "Zhuge Liang wrote "Liang's Father's Yin". "The Chronicles of the Land" recorded: "There is a stone qin in the temple of Wuhou in Dingjun Mountain, and the sound is very clear, and it is said that Wuhou is left behind. ”

From the above records, it is enough to see that Zhuge Liang has a very comprehensive cultivation and high artistic achievements in music. He was good at vocal music—he could sing; He is also good at instrumental music - good at playing the piano; At the same time, he also composed music and lyrics, and also made musical instruments – lyres and stone harps. Not only that, but he also wrote a treatise on music theory - "The Book of Qin".

I couldn't help but search for "Liang's Father's Yin" sung by Luo Tianyi and listened to it, and it was melodious and ethereal. After listening to it, I was open-minded, and I felt that a bend of the mountain spring washed away the tired soul.
