China has a lot of research on the stars in the sky, and in many Zhiwei novels, it looks up to the Big Dipper and steps on the stars.
For that starry sky, the ancients had countless illusions, which gave birth to the theory of divination of the Heavenly Stem and the Earth Branch, and this mysterious ability often appeared in people with extraordinary ability.
Zhuge Liang in the Three Kingdoms period was precisely because of his clever calculations, and everyone thought that he could calculate the ancient and modern times and even prolong his life for himself, so there was a legend that he lit seven star lamps to continue his life.
One or three points of the world Zhuge Liang
Zhuge Liang, as one of the most legendary figures in history, is famous for his wisdom beyond ordinary people.
The first reaction to Zhuge Liang was to be wise and invincible.
Up to now, there is a "Three Gu Maolu" in textbooks.
Because Liu Bei sincerely asked Zhuge Liang three times, he chose to assist him, and also discussed with Liu Bei that the world would become a three-point trend.
It turned out that what he said was indeed true, Liu Bei was amazed by Zhuge Liang's talent, and the major affairs of the military state were all discussed with him. Later borrowing the East Wind, borrowing arrows from grass boats, and the Chibi War, each of which had Zhuge Liang's wisdom and strategy to lay a large area of the Shu Kingdom.
Because of this, After Liu Bei found that he was seriously ill and could not return, he entrusted Liu Chan to Zhuge Liang, and even said that if the young lord did not become a tool, he could take it for him.
Zhuge Liang was grateful for Liu Bei's trust, and assisted Liu Chan even more wholeheartedly, almost raising Liu Chan as an adult with his own hands.
In order to restore the Han Dynasty and unify the Jiangshan Dynasty, there were frequent Northern Expeditions in the later period.
Before his death, he wrote the worldly work "Table of Teachers", and the characters were loyal and devoted to the Shu kingdom, which can be described as a lifelong dedication to duty and work for the country.
2. The Legend of the Seven Stars
Zhuge Liang was also seriously ill because of this, and when everyone in the Shu Kingdom was worried about The body of Xiang Xiang, Zhuge Liang lit a seven-star lamp for himself to continue his life, saying that he could still have a life expectancy of twelve years, so is this true?
In folklore, Zhuge Liang is a figure who can call the wind and rain.
Therefore, everyone still believes in his move.
Celestial gossip has always been believed by the people, and the various abilities during the war have made people more convinced that Zhuge Liang can understand the celestial signs and use them.
According to Zhuge Liang, the seven-star lamp is a symbol of the seven stars of the Big Dipper, it is necessary to light seven seven forty-nine oil lamps, and it takes forty-nine days to achieve the effect of continuing life, if the oil lamp is extinguished in the middle, the failure of the formation method will not say that it will hurt the bones and muscles, which can be regarded as a very dangerous technique, and it is a glimmer of life in contention with the sky.
In addition, in addition to Zhuge Liang, who has used the seven-star lamp to continue his life in the past and now, there is another person, that is, Liu Bowen, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Bowen is another strange person in the eyes of the world, saying that he can know the past life and this life, and after participating in the disputes in the imperial court, he retired to the mountains and forests.
In the end, Liu Bowen, who used the seven-star lamp, really lived for twelve more years, which made the world feel that the seven-star lamp could really continue to live for people.
Regardless of whether the seven-star lamp has the effect of continuing life, Zhuge Liang did light the seven-star lamp in Wuzhangyuan and instructed the left and right, "If the main lamp is not extinguished, I can increase my life expectancy by one century (twelve years). ”
Unexpectedly, Wei Yan's messenger light went out, and he was interrupted by the middle of the way to continue his life, which was naturally unsuccessful.
However, Zhuge Liang's lighting of the Seven Star Lantern did not really renew his life for himself, mainly to deter Sima Yi, who was eyeing the Shu state.
Third, confuse the enemy
Just imagine, why did Zhuge Liang light the seven-star lamp on the way to the army and fight, was it really to prolong his life?
According to the situation at that time, Zhuge Liang did not light the seven-star lamp for himself, but for the Sake of the Shu Kingdom.
Zhuge Liang was bent on the success of the Northern Expedition, and as a result, liuqishan was exhausted and collapsed.
Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang of the State of Wei could be described as rivals, and Zhuge Liang knew that once he died, Sima Yi would definitely attack on a large scale.
Although the Shu kingdom can use its geographical location to defend the country, it is already terminally ill, and as long as it is left by itself, it may be difficult for the army to return to Shu.
Zhuge Liang naturally couldn't let this happen, so he lit up the Seven Star Lantern in the army.
He knew that Sima Yi was also a person who firmly believed in celestial phenomena, and knowing that he lit the Seven Star Lantern to continue his life, he would certainly throw a rat trap and dare not move forward, so as to buy time for the army.
Sima Yi was suspicious and suspicious, as long as he could make him scrupulous, then the follow-up would not be easy to shoot.
Coupled with the fact that the Shu kingdom was calm on the surface, but in fact the dark tide was turbulent, Zhuge Liang was able to shock the group of ministers while he was alive, but his accidents would definitely set off an uproar, many people who disobeyed Liu Chan had the heart of disobedience, and the internal strife that the foreign enemy had not destroyed could not be tolerated, and a bad handling would cause turmoil, and it might even endanger Liu Chan's throne.
Zhuge Liang would not allow such a thing to happen, so he decided to give it a go and use the seven-star lamp to hang out those who wanted to cause trouble.
Fourth, after the recruitment of Shu
After lighting the seven-star lamp, Sima Yi did not dare to move forward again, but continued to inquire about Zhuge Liang's situation with the Shu army, but he did not dare to send troops for a long time, leaving time for Zhuge Liang to deploy.
Immediately afterward, Zhuge Liang used the Seven Star Lantern to pick out the chaotic courtiers and thieves, hoping that the Seven-Star Lantern would extinguish Zhuge Liang's life, and if he was not Sima Yi's traitor, he would definitely be a chaotic thief of the Shu Kingdom.
In addition, Zhuge Liang left a last word that Wei Yan would definitely rebel after his death, and then left his backhand to arrange to deal with this matter. This also caused Wei Yan to rebel after Zhuge Liang's death and was quickly restrained.
Because the seven-star lamp was lit to delay, Zhuge Liang knew that he could not return to the Shu kingdom alive, and left several tips for his subordinates to quell the rebellion.
When Sima Yi learned of Zhuge Liang's death and led the army to pursue him when he withdrew his army back to Shu, his subordinates hurriedly dressed Zhuge Liang's wooden statue with his clothes and took his feather fan on the cart to pretend to be Zhuge Liang, and Sima Yi did not dare to rush forward.
It can be said that Zhuge Liang made sufficient plans for the aftermath of his death, so that he could give the Shu state a few years of respite.
5. Summary
"Bow down and die."
This is a portrayal of Zhuge Liang's life, who has faithfully followed Liu Bei since he was a fledgling, and in order to live up to his deathbed trust, he has worked hard to run the Shu kingdom.
Although the Shu kingdom was eventually destroyed after his death, he did not realize his wish to unify the land of Kuangfu Han, but he was worthy of Liu Bei's entrustment, for the Shu kingdom even his own death as a move, and finally thought of clearing the obstacles around Liu Chan and seeking more time for the Shu kingdom.
Zhuge Liang, who was brilliant in wisdom, failed to realize his ideals, but his spirit of serving the country and the people was really admirable, and it was Zhuge Liang who died for his confidant.
