First, Qian Qiu gong is over ren comment
So-called: There is no harm without contrast. From the comparison between "I" when I was a child and the hateful "child next door", to a series of comparisons of grades and salaries when I grew up, there is really no life without contrast. In other words, life seems to have lost its coordinates and become meaningless. This is true not only for today's people, but also for the ancients.
For example, "Who is Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang?" It's a contrast. But the question is how to compare this, what are the indicators? Different standards, the results of the comparison are naturally different.
Compared to fame, Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang are half a pound and eight two. The difference is only that, for a long period of time, Zhuge Liang is a god, Cao Cao is a "demon", a Biao BingQianqiu, a thousand years of white face. In terms of fame, Zhuge Liang completely crushed Cao Cao!
But comparing personal achievements is reversed, and Cao Cao completely crushes Zhuge Liang. In terms of status, Cao Cao was the "King of Wei", and after his death, he was promoted to Emperor Wu of Wei. A "Wei Wu whiplash" made Cao Cao instantly become contemptuous of everything. Throughout his life, he traversed the Three Kingdoms, and even the emperor was "played" in the palm of his hand, becoming the most bullish male lord in the Three Kingdoms period.
Looking at Zhuge Liang again, even if he was strong before he died, how could he compare with Cao Cao in terms of achievement (height)? On the contrary, it is the contrast between Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, and the contrast between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, which is more reasonable. As for Cao Cao comparing Zhuge Liang, to be honest, it is a bit unusual.
However, it must be emphasized that these standards and conditions set above are not important at all to the vast majority of people. Because, even "Guan Gong and Qin Qiong" can fight together, Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang, your brothers are compared, is it so difficult?
So from this point of view, in many cases, the final conclusion of the comparison, is not important at all, what is important is the process? Whether you call yourself a rationalist or flaunt it as a sentimentalist, all of a sudden you become an exposition of "different angles and different points of view".
In fact, it is good to think about it - since ancient celebrities have no privacy, after a thousand autumns, ren commented. This is probably the true meaning of contrast.
Second, who is the real Han Xiangxiang?
If you want to compare Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang, you can actually compare one or two, because both of them have been ministers. However, this is a funny thing, Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang, who is the real "Great Han Cheng Xiang"?
The "Historical Emperor" will inevitably say: Then you still need to ask, of course, Cao Cao! Regardless of cao pi's later situation, Cao Cao had become the chancellor of the Han Dynasty since his defeat at the Battle of Chibi in 208 AD. Liu Beijian is a Shu Han, can he represent the Great Han? It doesn't mean anything at all.
This is called height! The so-called height determines the achievement of life!
And the "Interpretation Mystery" will mostly support Zhuge Liang. Cao Cao already had a positioning, the so-called "name Han Xiang is actually a Han thief". Is there any acknowledgment of thieves? Liu Bei was the uncle of the Han Emperor and naturally represented the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Zhuge Liang is the real Han Dynasty Minister, and even Du Fu wrote poems saying: Where to find the ancestral hall of the Great Han Dynasty...
Therefore, the height of life is important, but the thickness is the foundation. Cao Cao's height is high, and the foundation is unstable! Zhuge Liang not only has height, but also thickness, and any time you blow in the wind and rain, you will not move!
As for the comparison of other aspects, it is estimated that they will eventually fall within the framework of the above.com. In a nutshell, Cao Cao can be regarded as a realist. Those who support Zhuge Liang can be regarded as word-of-mouth (ideal) factions.
The reason why the realists support Cao Cao is not only based on historical data, but also comes from a profound understanding of reality. The reason why the word-of-mouth faction supports Zhuge Liang is based on the expectation of the future - a few more Zhuge Liang-like characters to make the future better.
Seeing this, I am afraid that careful readers can already discover the common ground between Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang. In other words, I understood why I had to let Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang compare. Speaking of which, there is one reason: to compare historical figures is to look at the present in terms of history. Whether it is to support Cao Cao or to support Zhuge Liang, it has naturally become a "reaction and expectation to reality."
In the vernacular: reposition the past and serve the present!
No matter how treacherous And no matter how clever Cao Cao is, it all comes from his accurate grasp of the "Three Kingdoms Period" and his profound understanding of reality. If you want to succeed, you must have Cao Cao, this realistic attitude.
For example, Dong Zhuo, he can only "hold the Son of Heaven", but he cannot "order the princes", and Cao Cao optimized Dong Zhuo's strategy, combining and unifying the two. Understand that although the Han Room has declined and lost its authority, it needs a process of digestion and cannot be torn down at once. This is the most fundamental reality of the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao grasped it!
No matter how zhuge liang bowed down and did his best, no matter how "powerful he was a courtier", it all came from his persistence and adherence to ideals and beliefs, and achieved the perfect unity of doing things and being a man.
This is actually Zhuge Liang, the most admirable and admired place for future generations. With Zhuge Liang's talent, how could he not understand the reality of the Three Kingdoms? If you want to have an extraordinary life, you must have the ideal pursuit of Zhuge Liang!
Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang, who can represent the Great Han Dynasty with dignity and dignity, depends on how you look at it. So the question now is: Who is the best of the two? The so-called reading history with giants has always been the most effective and clever way. It just so happens that Chairman Mao and his old man really paid attention to and personally raised it.
Three: Who is Cao Cao or Zhuge Liang?
According to Mr. Li Yueran's "Memories as a Translator for Chairman Mao": It was in 1957, during the old man's visit to Moscow, when the old man and Guo Moruo and others were eating and chatting together, the topic was talked about on the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the discussion was very heated.
Suddenly the old man looked at Li Yueran and asked, "
Comrade Li Yueran, who do you say that Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang are strong?
”
Li Yueran was confused at that time, and hurriedly said: "
I'm not very familiar with the Three Kingdoms and haven't made this comparison.
After hearing this, the old man was a little disappointed and said:
Oh, that's not okay, this book has to be read at least three times, and there are many dialectics here. Cao Cao is no worse than Zhuge Liang, although he is dressed up as a white face when acting, in fact, this person is very powerful. His biggest feature is that he can use cadres.
Naturally, the problem arises. The first is, why does the old man ask this question?
The author can only try to deduce, in the author's opinion is a reason. Li Yueran was the chief Russian translator at the time. That is to say, his research and familiarity with foreign countries is obviously higher than that of his own country. This can be seen in his answer, "I am not familiar with the Three Kingdoms."
That's why the old man said, "
That's not okay, the book has to be read at least three times
”。 I just want high-level intellectuals like Li Yueran to be in touch with the actual situation in the local area! This is also the consistent attitude of the elderly - theory is linked to practice, and foreign research is advanced, but it is not satisfied with the domestic water and soil, how can this be done? So the old man stressed again
"There are many dialectics in it."
”。
There are too many lessons to be learned in this regard, and I think readers know what is going on and will not say more.
The second question: What is the answer of the elderly themselves?
The answer given by the old man is quite to the point, and the four words "will use cadres" are quite sharp.
"Nothing is too big or small, salty is determined by the light", this is Zhuge Liang's style!
Eclectic, meritocracy, this is Cao Cao's style! He also dared to delegate power and let his subordinates play, regardless of whether he was a concubine of Zhu Cao Xiahou or a descendant of Zhang Liao and Xu Huang.
This kind of angle and pattern, I am afraid that only his old man will have. Anyway, what "ideal" and "reality" and so on that the author is talking about, in front of the four words of the old man, are extremely "illusory", and even "worried about giving new words", because I have not caught the idea at all.
Of course, speaking of which, the old man actually doesn't care too much about who "Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao" are. It is only through this lively topic that everyone is interested in, expounding the truth. I think every reader will feel the same way about this.
