Zhuge Liang's comprehensive performance in the official history is very outstanding, not only in politics, military, strategy and diplomacy, but also in his own many inventions. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info For Liu Bei, Liu Chan and other monarchs, Zhuge Liang is also a good subordinate, as a leader, he also cultivated Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Dong Yun and Jiang Wei A large number of talents, as a bureaucrat, the people of Yizhou are also Guotai and healthy under his rule, and he himself is an honest official, and his family has no money to spare.

【All-round and all-refined】

Zhuge Liang has excellent performance in military, political economy, strategy and diplomacy, and it can be said that Zhuge Liang is a rare all-rounder.

First of all, in terms of military affairs, Zhuge Liang attacked the strong with weakness and suppressed Cao Wei, and he could definitely enter the list of top generals at that time, but compared with other top generals, Zhuge Liang's performance was not convincing enough, and there was a huge mistake of emphasizing the use of trust in Ma Yan, so Zhuge Liang's military ranking in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty was difficult to be too high, basically outside the top five.

In terms of politics, Zhuge Liang has been working for a long time, Chen Shou put him alongside Guan Zhong and Xiao He, and he has been recognized by everyone in later generations, and Zhuge Liang's own political talent is also known in the entire history of China.

In terms of strategy, Zhuge Liang gave Liu Bei advice, and the suggestions put forward basically have merits, among which the "Longzhong pair" is a strange strategy through the ages, and with Zhuge Liang's plan in the "Longzhong pair", he was also one of the best in the strategy in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Finally, in terms of diplomacy, Zhuge Liang's envoy to Sun Wu was a rare success, this time Zhuge Liang basically did not pay any price to successfully form an alliance with Sun Quan to resist Cao, and compared to Sun Quan, who was on the other side, Liu Bei did not even have a piece of his own territory at that time, and could only live in Liu Qi's Jiangxia, and the actual gap between the two sides can be said to be worlds apart.

Zhuge Liang is not only all-round but also all-refined, and his performance in all aspects is extremely good. Aside from not going to the battlefield and going heads-up, there's almost nothing that won't.

[Quite extensive]

In addition to military and political aspects, Zhuge Liang himself is also a rare inventor, and he has made many achievements in art.

It is clearly recorded in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Zhuge Liang that Zhuge Liang was born with ingenuity, and once conceived and guided the improvement of bows and crossbows to make them shoot continuously, and made wooden oxen and flowing horses (Note 1) as a means of transportation; He deduced the art of war and designed the gossip array, all of which were deeply understood.

Among them, the crossbow, the wooden ox and the gossip array are clearly recorded by Zhuge Liang's invention, and the "Biography of the High Monk" also talks about Zhuge Liang's invention of the bridge gun, because the "Biography of the High Monk" was written earlier and has no stakes, so this record is very credible. It is said that steamed buns, fire beasts, Kong Ming lanterns and Kong Ming chess were also invented by Zhuge Liang, but the credibility is not high.

In addition to inventions, Zhuge Liang was also involved in calligraphy, painting, music, and literature.

Zhuge Liang himself loves calligraphy very much, and he has been trained hard since he was a teenager, and can write a variety of fonts, such as seal, eight, and cursive. "Changde Mansion Chronicles" recorded: "Wolong ink pool 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. ”

In terms of painting, Zhuge Liang's father and son are both good at it, and Zhang Yanyuan also recorded the collection and sales 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. ”

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 a curse alliance." 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. ”

Zhuge Liang is also proficient in music and rhythm, and likes to play the piano and sing, among which "Liang's Father's Yin" is the most famous, and it is said that he also wrote a music theory monograph - "The Qin Jing".

In terms of literature, Zhuge Liang's "Teacher's Table", "Later Teacher's Table" and "Book of Commandments" are widely circulated, and Zhuge Liang's works have also been compiled into "Zhuge Liang Collection".

【Prime Minister of the Three Kinds】

In history, Zhuge Liang was a good subordinate to Liu Bei, Liu Chan and other lords, a good boss to his subordinates Jiang Wan, Fei Yi and others, and a good ruler for the people of Shu.

During Liu Bei's period, Zhuge Liang successively held different roles, strategists, internal affairs officials, diplomats and generals Zhuge Liang have all done it, and they have performed very well, so the strategists will not say much, a "Longzhong pair" can already represent everything, and Zhuge Liang is also responsible for government affairs and logistics, and his performance is very good.

It can be said that where Liu Bei needs Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang can be there.

For Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang is also a good prime minister, when he managed the Shu Kingdom, he did not live up to the trust of the Liu family, several northern expeditions, with the intention of restoring the Han family, Liu Chan can rest assured that he will hand over the power to Zhuge Liang. Although Zhuge Liang showed loyalty in history, many people still suspected that Zhuge Liang had ambitions, I want to say that Zhuge Liang was tired to death in the army, and he did not have much selfishness in his subordinates before his death.

When Zhuge Liang was in power, Wei Yan and Yang Yi can be said to be problem children, Yang Yi was once transferred to the outside because of his discord with Liu Ba, Wei Yan was no better, he was proud and arrogant, but Zhuge Liang could use the two for his own use, Jiang Wan, Fei Yi, Jiang Wei and Dong Yun were all pulled up by Zhuge Liang, for the bureaucrats and generals under his command, Zhuge Liang is definitely good.

For the people of Shu Han, Zhuge Liang has not had any major problems in power, and he himself is extremely incorruptible, "Three Kingdoms: Zhuge Liang Biography" recorded that at the beginning, Liang said from the back of the table: "Chengdu has 800 mulberry trees, 15 acres of thin fields, food and clothing for the children, and their own surplus." As for the ministers in the field, there is no other arrangement, and they carry food and clothing, all of which depend on the officials, and do not treat their lives to long sizes. If the minister dies on the day of his death, he will not let there be any surplus silk inside, and there will be wealth outside, so as to lose His Majesty. "And the pawn, as he said.

Zhuge Liang has the law to follow, and the law must be investigated, which also ensures the interests of the people to a large extent, not to mention that Zhuge Liang's Southern Expedition rebelled, established a more fair and just society, and did not force him to be a people like Cao Wei, and the overall social environment of Shu Han during the Zhuge Liang period was still okay.
