Zhuge Huang Li Shu

The question you mentioned seems to have been mentioned in the TV series "New Three Kingdoms" filmed a few years ago, right? Has it been elaborated in the plot? Didn't you notice? It doesn't matter. Let me describe it again.

After crossing the river with Lu Su, Zhuge Liang first met with Sun Quan, and then met with Zhou Yu when he returned from a business trip in other places, and skillfully used Cao Zhi's "Copper Quetai" to motivate Zhou Yu to make up his mind to resist Cao. Later, Zhuge Liang stayed in Soochow as a member of the League. When he met with the weekend, he mentioned the problem of books in the study.

Zhou Yu said that I burned a book after reading it, so there were no books in the study. I mean, I'm knowledgeable and have a good memory.

Zhuge Liang laughed and said that it was a coincidence that Gong Jin and I had the same habits, but there was a book in my cabin that I couldn't burn. Zhou Yu was surprised after hearing this and asked what book it was. Zhuge Liang said it was the Gregorian calendar (that is, the calendar we are talking about now) because he lived in the wilderness and deep in the mountains. If there were no more Gregorian calendars to record dates, wouldn't it be the sun and the moon?

Zhuge Liang said this, in fact, to be humorous and ease the atmosphere. Of course, he also flatters Zhou Yu a little, trying to show that he is a little worse than Zhou Yu. After all, the two sides are allies, and the relationship is too stiff, which is not conducive to the follow-up work; But at the same time, it can't be too explicit, so the books that are said more are almanacs.
