Everything should be scientific. Is there a scientific basis for Zhuge Liang to borrow Dongfeng?

Zhuge Liang's borrowing from the east wind has scientific basis.

Scientifically speaking, when Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind, he chose 1 1 20th of the month, which is the penultimate winter solstice among the 24 solar terms on the calendar. As the saying goes, "It snows in winter, and it's a little cold in winter" and "It's a slight cold and a big cold, and a year has passed". On the day of winter solstice, there is another folk saying: Yin turns to Yang.

Scientifically speaking, winter is almost over and spring is coming. With the increase of temperature, the solar illumination time began to increase gradually. Geographically, the wind is formed by the collision of air currents. In winter, because the sea pressure is greater than the northwest wind caused by the land pressure, but near the winter solstice, on the contrary, the land pressure is greater than the sea pressure, so there will be easterly winds.

Extended data:

Zhuge Liang borrowed from the east wind, and the story environment at that time was that Cao Cao wanted to pacify Wu Dong at the end of World War I and complete his great cause of unifying the world. At this time, Cao Cao was in high spirits. Even Liu Bei, who was of royal color, was like a lost dog under the attack of Cao Cao, and abandoned the city and fled. Where there is no Cao Cao, there is Liu Bei.

According to the book, Zhuge Liang had a precursor before borrowing from the east wind. A straw boat borrows an arrow, and careful people will find the author's description of the river.

The author says there is fog on the river, and you should know that fog will only appear when the temperature rises. Therefore, to sum up, Zhuge Liang succeeded by taking advantage of the east wind because he had the help of the power endowed by nature. I have to say that Zhuge Liang is really smart and applies what he has learned to practice perfectly.
