If he did not do the chancellor, Zhuge Liang would certainly be a technical man, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms said of him: "Long in ingenuity, profit and loss crossbow, wooden cattle and horses, all unexpected." "Zhuge Lian's crossbow and wooden cow and horse were both famous high-tech at that time, so Chen Shou recorded it, and Zhuge Liang should have other inventions." For example, the "Book of Song and the Ancestral Biography of Yin Xiao" mentions that the Song Ming Emperor of the Southern Dynasty had a set of Zhuge Liang copper sleeve armor, which could not be shot through with twenty-five stone bows. Emperor Ming of Song gave the armor to Wang Xuanmo and the hat to Yin Xiaozu. This record should not be empty, his armor was enshrined as a treasure in the hands of the Liu Song Emperor, which can be seen that it was impossible to copy at that time. Poor Yin Xiaozu only got a hat and was finally killed by an arrow.
Copper sleeve armor
Zhuge Liang's armor was powerful, and his weapons must have been very powerful, and when the Southern Dynasty Liang was in the South, the Shinto Lu Fahe led his army to the White Emperor City, and he said to the crowd, "Zhuge Liang is a true god, I have seen him, and he buried an arrow for me here." Saying that, he pointed to the place, and the crowd dug out their weapons. The Shamen general seemed intent on using Zhuge Liang's weapons to boost his morale.
Since Zhuge Liang has the most powerful armor and the most powerful weapon, what will happen if Zhuge Liang's weapon is used to stab Zhuge Liang's armor? -----------------
With the myth of Zhuge Liang, the image of his inventor was gradually established. He became the second "arrow-stacked" figure after the Yellow Emperor (Hu Shi), and various inventions were put under his name. However, most of his inventions revolved around the theme of Zhuge Liang's march and war, but around this theme, Zhuge Liang's inventions covered four completely unrelated fields: military, musical instruments, food and clothing.
Let's start with the military.
Wooden cow flowing horse
In addition to armor and arrows, Zhuge Liang also invented the copper tribulus terrestris, that is, the zama nail, which is simply a hidden weapon on the battlefield, thrown out casually, always facing upwards, in that era, I am afraid that it was the nightmare of Cao Wei's cavalry. Close to the weapon is the Kong Ming lantern, although this kind of thing can not hurt people, but used to transmit information over long distances, which is the wireless communication technology of that era. Zhuge Liang also made a kind of brass drum, which was one foot seven inches wide and one foot eight inches high. The waist is tightened and the underside is open. During the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army came to pacify and captured more than a dozen such drums, which were nothing special, but they were struck on the water and the sound was mellow. The "Shuzhong Guangji" was cast when Zhuge Liang was pacifying Meng. But there is nothing strange about this kind of brass drum, but Huang Tinggui of the Qing Dynasty said that this drum was buried between the valleys after Zhuge Liang cast it in the past, and used to calm the king's qi here, but if the barbarians took out this drum and threw it away, the barbarians' luck would also play. Anyway, to advance is also to die, to retreat is also to die, and only being willing to be a slave is the only choice - Zhuge Liang is also too bullying.
Tribulus terrestris
What is even more peculiar is the Ming Dynasty unearthed Zhuge Liang's marching pot. The "Shuzhong Guangji" says that the peasants in Pinggu County get a pot to cultivate the land, do not need to put it on the stove, pour in cold water, boil after a while, add rice porridge, and cook it quickly. The villagers thought that there was treasure in the pot, so they smashed the pot, only to find the word water and fire in the mezzanine. Jingyan County also got such a pot, and after breaking it, it was found that there was a spell at the bottom of the pot, and next to it was written: "Zhuge Xing pot." ", this is amazing,
Zhuge Liang invented the wooden cow and the horse to transport military food, and the purpose of this pot was probably to solve the problem of eating and burning wood - I think this is the most powerful invention under Zhuge Liang's name, because he solved the energy problem, if you can get a bite of research, this is the blessing of the people of the world.
Zhuge Liang
The Ming Dynasty people also believed that Zhuge Liang invented the self-chiming bell, and this bell was also in the shape of a pillow, called the chicken chiming pillow. The "Shuzhong Guangji" said that the appearance of this pillow is also ordinary, and the shape of tiles. Lying on it and sleeping, I could hear the pillow from one to five, and every time I corrected it, there was a drumming sound, and when the chicken chirped, there was also a chicken chirping sound in the pillow, telling people to get up. But Xie Zhaochun said in "Five Miscellaneous Tricks" that Zhuge Liang's correct use of the chicken pillow inspired the soldiers, and for those employees who fought well, he took out the chicken pillow and let these employees lie on it to sleep, and the soldier could go home in the dream that night and be reunited with his wife - this is no longer a pillow, but a dream-making machine.
In addition to these unreliable, Zhuge Liang's most grounded invention should be steamed buns. This story began to circulate from the Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty Gao Cheng said in the "Chronicle of Things" that when crossing the Lushui River in the south, it was necessary to sacrifice the head of the barbarian, Zhuge Liang was kind in heart, and could not bear to kill innocent people, so he used flour to make a human head shape, and since then a food that has swept China has been born. Not to mention that the earliest record of the term mantou is still in the Jin Dynasty, which shows that the steamed bun may have really been invented by Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang's skills in the kitchen are not limited to a steamed bun, and there is a plant named after his surname: Zhuge Cai. In fact, this is Manjing, Liu Yuxi said in the "Jia Dialect" that Zhuge Liang marched to fight, and the place where he was stationed was let people in Manjing. Because the roots and leaves of this plant are edible, long-lived and growing, discarded at all costs, over time, the people of Shu land will call the vine jing as Zhuge cai.
The above are all intentional, as well as unintentional willow insertion, this aspect is mainly concentrated in the field of clothing. The Song Dynasty's "Yueyang Customs" says that at that time, there were two straps on the clothes of yunnan women on the chest knot, this knot was the knot tied by Zhuge Liang's seven captures and seven vertical Meng's bindings at that time, everyone remembered Zhuge Liang, and left these two straps on the clothes. After Zhuge Liang's death in the Guangji of Shuzhong, the people of Shudi brought filial piety to him, and this habit has been preserved and has become a traditional national costume. This has long been studied and found that the bronze figures excavated from the Sanxingdui site have things wrapped around their heads. Obviously, this is a common habit of the people of Shudi in labor production, and has nothing to do with Zhuge Liang.
But everyone is willing to believe that they are for Zhuge Liang to wear filial piety, in this way to commemorate this sage of the ages,
