Zhuge Liang's Times and Major Achievements

Zhuge Liang's main achievements during the Three Kingdoms period are as follows:

1, politics

As the prime minister of Shu Han, Zhuge Liang calmed people's hearts, abided by the etiquette system, restrained officials, used his power cautiously, and treated people honestly. He is concise and practical in handling affairs and can solve problems fundamentally. He pays attention to reality, regardless of fame and fortune, and doesn't do things that covet vanity.

Finally, the whole people in Shu are afraid of him, but admire him. No one complains about using harsh laws. This is because he is honest and sincere to his heart, and his suggestion is very clear and reasonable. It can be said that he is an outstanding talent for governing the country, and his talents can be compared with those of Guan Zhong and Xiao He.

2. Economy

Zhuge Liang took advantage of Hanzhong's economic conditions and took a series of effective measures during his stay in Hanzhong, developing production according to local conditions and persuading agriculture, and basically solved the military resources of the Northern Expedition on the spot. After Zhuge Liang's death, the Shu-Han army was losing ground, and Wei Jun also "took a lot of books and grain" in Shu camp.

This just shows the effect of Zhuge Liang's persuasion of agriculture and military reclamation. When the local people live well, they can attract more people, make Hanzhong, a vast and sparsely populated city, develop again, gradually achieve a virtuous circle of more people and more food, and let the people "live and work in peace and contentment".

3. Military

As a military strategist, Zhuge Liang has also been highly recognized by military strategists of past dynasties. After Zhuge Liang's death, Sima Yi met Zhuge Liang's camp and praised him as a "genius in the world".

Emperor Taizong and Li Jing repeatedly mentioned Zhuge Liang's method of running the army and the eight-array map in the Question of Emperor Taizong and Li Weiguo, and gave them a high evaluation, and showed that Chen Shou's evaluation of Zhuge Liang in the History of the Three Kingdoms was "a historian knows his soldiers, but not according to the facts."

In the Tang Dynasty, Zhuge Liang was also selected as one of the ten philosophers of the Wu Temple, enjoying the same status as Sean, Han Xin and Bai Qi.

Introduction to Zhuge Liang:

Zhuge Liang (181-23410-8), a native of Yang Du, Xuzhou (now yinan county, Linyi City, Shandong Province), was an outstanding politician, strategist, essayist and calligrapher during the Three Kingdoms period.

When he was alive, he was named Hou of Wuxiang. After his death, he pursued loyalty to the marquis of Wuxiang. Because of its military ability, the Eastern Jin regime was posthumously named King Wu Xing. Representative prose works include An Example and A Book of Commandments.

He once invented the wooden ox, the flying horse, the Kongming lantern and so on, and transformed the crossbow, called Zhuge Lian crossbow, which can hit all targets with one crossbow. In the twelfth year (234), Yu Jianxing died in Wuzhangyuan (now Qishan, Baoji).

Liu Chan regarded him as a loyal minister, so later generations often referred to Zhuge Liang as a loyal minister and Zhuge Wuhou. Zhuge Liang did his best and died. He is a representative of loyal officials and wise men in China traditional culture.

Brief introduction of Three Kingdoms:

The Three Kingdoms (220 -280) is a historical period connecting the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty, which is divided into three regimes: Cao Wei, Shu Han and Dongwu. Battle of Red Cliffs and Cao Cao were defeated by Sun Liu's allied forces, which laid the rudiment of the tripartite confrontation among the three countries.

In 220, Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor, with the title of "Wei" and the history of Cao Wei, and the history of the Three Kingdoms officially began. The following year, Liu Bei continued the Han Dynasty in Chengdu, known as Shu Han in history. In 222, Liu Bei lost the battle of Yiling, and Sun Quan won most of Jingzhou. When Liu Bei died in 223, Zhuge Liang helped Liu Chan, the son of Liu Bei, reunite with Sun Quan. In 229, Sun of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was formally established, known as Wu in history.

In the following decades, Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei of Shu Han led troops to the northern expedition of Cao Wei many times, but they never changed the pattern of tripartite confrontation. The real power in the late Cao Wei period was gradually controlled by Sima Yi. In 263, Si Mazhao of Cao Wei launched the war to destroy Shu, and Shu Han perished. Two years later, Si Mazhao died, and his son Sima Yan abandoned Emperor Wei Yuan to stand on his own feet. The founding name is "Jin", and the history is called the Western Jin Dynasty.

In 280 AD, the Western Jin Dynasty destroyed Soochow and unified China, thus ending the Three Kingdoms period and entering the Jin Dynasty.
