Zhuge Liang is china's ancient, the most praised by the world, but also the most legendary important historical figure, he is almost the perfect idol of ancient Chinese readers, Jian'an twelve years (207 AD), 26-year-old Zhuge Liang ended his many years of seclusion, followed Liu Bei to fight the world. Most of us know the story of Zhuge Liang after he came out of the mountain, but what was he like before he came out of the mountain? Presumably many people don't know, today with everyone to popularize.
In fact, Zhuge Liang's life, we later generations do not know a lot, and now there are not many historical materials for search, we can only understand a rough idea today.
Zhuge Liang was born in the fourth year of the Reign of Emperor Guanghe of the Han Dynasty (181 AD) in Yangdu County, Langya County (present-day Linfen, Shandong), a family of official eunuchs. Zhuge Shi was a famous and prestigious family in Langya at that time, and Zhuge Liang's ancestor Zhuge Feng, who had served as a lieutenant during the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Western Han Dynasty, was an official of the level of two thousand stones, and was considered a major official at the level of the main department, and the main duty in ancient times was
Supervisors of the Kyoshi and local inspectors. Zhuge Liang's father, Zhuge Jue, served as a County Clerk of Taishan County at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the County Clerk was a civilian official, an official in charge of civil affairs and finances in a county.
Zhuge Liang's mother Zhang Died of Illness when he was 3 years old, and he lost his father when he was 8 years old. Therefore, together with his younger brother Zhuge Jun, he followed his uncle Zhuge Xuan, who had been appointed by Yuan Shu as The Taishou of Yuzhang, to Yuzhang (present-day Nanchang, Jiangxi), and later the Eastern Han court sent Zhu Hao to replace Zhuge Xuan, and Zhuge Xuan went to Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
In the second year of Jian'an (197 AD), when Zhuge Liang was 16 years old, his uncle Zhuge Xuan also died, and Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Longzhong and lived a life of cultivation and reading. The "Table of Renunciation" also introduces, "The subject is clothed, and he cultivates in Nanyang". Today's Longzhong is in Xiangyang City, Hubei Province, and in ancient times Longzhong is estimated to belong to Nanyang, but they all belonged to Jingzhou during the Three Kingdoms period.
This period of history is probably unknown to most readers. So we have a question, zhuge liang after coming out of the mountain is really powerful, then what about zhuge liang's talent in his youth?
From Chen Shou's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", we can know that Zhuge Liang is also a young genius. Before Chen Shou wrote the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, he wrote a collection of essays for Zhuge Liang, called "The Table of Zhuge Liang's Collections", which described Zhuge Liang in this way, "Liang rarely has the talent of Yiqun, the spirit of heroism, eight feet long, the appearance is very great, and the people are different." This is a very clear description of Zhuge Liang, he is a young genius, but also a handsome man, 184cm tall, not only tall, but also very good-looking. According to this description, Zhuge Liang is simply more Wu Yanzu than Wu Yanzu!
Zhuge Liang was very fond of reading when he was a child, and there is a characteristic of reading, which the history books call "looking at its general outline", that is, reading books at a glance and ten lines. In fact, we have not been clear about this, in the end Zhuge Liang is too smart, reading fast! Or Zhuge Liang is very sloppy in reading, and he looks at flowers. Xiaobian estimates that he is like Tao Yuanming, "good reading, do not seek much understanding", which is precisely the characteristic of being able to read.
In addition to being good at reading, Zhuge Liang also has two hobbies. One is good for "Father Liang Yin", and the other is to hold the knee and scream. "Father Liang Yin" is actually a funeral song, that is, a song sung at the funeral, and Zhuge Liang likes this very much. Holding the knee and shouting long should refer to a way, a way of singing when singing "Father Liang Yin". At present, there is also the place of the Knee Pavilion in Longzhong.
We don't know what is contained in Zhuge Liang's long whistle of hugging his knees, but we can be sure that his long whistle of hugging knees contains his compassion for life and his deep concern for the country and society.
The above is the description of the young Zhuge Liang when Zhuge Liang was not out of the Middle School, is there any other view of the readers? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss, thank you.
