Speaking of Zhuge Liang's marriage, this is also a good story. Zhuge Liang was married when he was not yet a fledgling, and it is said that Zhuge Liang's wife is very ugly. As we said earlier, Zhuge Liang was a big handsome man, and he was very talented in his youth, known as Mr. Wolong, such a talent must not worry about marrying his daughter-in-law. Is Zhuge Liang's wife an ugly woman? Why would Zhuge Liang marry an ugly woman as a wife?
Huang Chengyan, the famous Jingxiang scholar, was later Zhuge Liang's father-in-law, and this person greatly admired Zhuge Liang's talents. One day he went to Zhuge Liang and asked, "Wen Jun chooses a woman, she has an ugly woman, a yellow head and a black head, and she is worthy of it." Zhuge Liang agreed, and this family affair was thus completed. According to the introduction in the history books of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang's marriage to his daughter-in-law is as simple as that.
But there are different theories about whether Zhuge Liang's wife is an ugly woman.
Zhuge Liang's daughter-in-law is called Huang Yueying, to explain, this name can not be verified, and this is what later generations called. Some scholars believe that in fact, Huang Yueying is not ugly. Huang Chengyan said that his daughter was an ugly woman, and he was testing Zhuge Liang to see whether Zhuge Liang was heavy on virtue and talent, or whether he was heavy on color. Moreover, the ugly woman is just a modest name, just like the ancients later said that their sons were dogs.
Obviously, Zhuge Liang withstood the test and finally married a big beautiful woman and went home. This is just a statement.
On the other hand, many people think that Huang Yueying is an ugly woman, and this statement also has sufficient evidence.
A piece of evidence, according to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Huang Chengyan introduced his daughter in this way, "with an ugly woman, a yellow head and a black head, and only matched", this description is more specific, yellow hair and black skin, can be very compatible with Zhuge Liang. If it is only a humble ugly woman, why should it be described so meticulously and illogically.
The second evidence, Zhuge Liang's marriage to Huang Yueying, was rumored to be a joke in the Xiangyang area. The common people also compiled two folk songs, which are clearly recorded in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Mo Zuo Kong Ming chose a wife, just get an ugly woman", pick a wife do not learn Zhuge Liang, Huang ACheng's ugly servant who could not marry out, was married back by Zhuge Liang. Therefore, it is concluded that Huang Yueying is indeed an ugly woman. And Xiaobian believes that this statement is more likely.
If Huang Yueying is really ugly, then there is a question, why should Zhuge Liang marry an ugly woman? As we said earlier, Zhuge Liang is eight feet long, 184cm according to the Han ruler, and his appearance is Shengwei, he is a big handsome man with talent and height, why should he marry an ugly girl? There are two explanations for this.
The first explanation is simple. It is Zhuge Liang's high wind and bright festival, it is indeed heavy morality and not heavy color, and he attaches great importance to Huang Yueying's talent, so he agreed to this family affair.
There is also an explanation that Zhuge Liang valued the relationship behind Huang Chengyan.
At that time, in the Jingxiang area, the most prominent family was the Cai family, when the boss of the Cai family, Cai Yi, had two daughters, one married to Huang Chengyan, the other married to Liu Biao, And Cai Yi also had a son, Cai Mao, who also served as a high official. Liu Biao was the highest administrator in the Jingzhou region at that time, and Huang Chengyan and Liu Biao were in a conjoined relationship, which was extraordinary, very close relatives, Zhuge Liang if there was such a relationship is extremely advantageous.
In short, Huang Yueying is not an ugly woman in the end, Zhuge Liang is not attached to the relationship behind his father-in-law, we really can't know now, there is indeed no clear record in history, I dare not abruptly surprise the ancients, vain conclusions, just from ancient times to the present, list some of the statements, listed for your readers' reference, welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
