Zhuge Liang solar terms

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang did borrow wind, but this is only the connection between Zhuge Liang and Battle of Red Cliffs in the plot history of the novel, mainly because Lu Su persuaded Sun Quan that the wind direction of Chibi is unique.

(Battle of Red Cliffs took place in Jun. 65438+1Oct. 65438+1Oct.) in the 13th year of Jian 'an. Borrowing the east wind was first seen in Searching for the Gods. It was the middle of winter (in fact, the whole Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties was a cold period in the history of China), and the north wind was chaotic. According to the meteorological law, it tends to be a little warmer after a few days of severe cold, and the wind direction sometimes turns to easterly, southerly or southeast wind.

That is, Jiazi Day (1 12, 2008), with warm weather, southerly winds in the evening and strong winds in the middle of the night. This is the origin of the wind in Battle of Red Cliffs, but it is not recorded in the history books.

Extended data

Zhuge Liang didn't take part in Battle of Red Cliffs in history, and he didn't have the ability to give orders. Zhou Yu is in command of Battle of Red Cliffs, and the east wind is a natural phenomenon on the Yangtze River. Zhou Yu and Huang Gai practiced for a long time in the local water army, and they knew exactly when the east wind started. They cleverly seized the fighter plane and defeated Cao Jun, and Zhou Yu was very broad-minded, which was different from the description in the romance.

However, Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a novel, and later generations have two views on Zhuge Liang's practice of borrowing the east wind from the altar. On the one hand, Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind by magic in the book, and the author sorted it out and shaped the characters full of his ingenuity.

On the other hand, in fact, the book does not directly say that Zhuge Liang used magic to borrow the east wind, but predicted that there would be an east wind with rich meteorological knowledge, so Zhuge Liang just put on airs on the seven-star altar, pretending to use magic and shocking Jiangdong at the same time. The practice of borrowing the east wind mentioned in the book is also mentioned in the dialogue through the mouth of the characters, and no author directly confirms that it is a spell.
