Zhuge Liang successfully struggled to learn as a teenager (Learning Series Report No. 1)

Original author: Zhang Wenfa

1. When Zhuge Liang was a teenager, he learned from Sima Hui, the water mirror.

Zhuge Liang studied hard and was diligent in using his brain, not only was Sima Hui appreciative, but even Sima Hui's wife was very important to him, and liked this diligent and studious teenager who was good at using his brain.

At that time, there were no clocks, sundials were used for timekeeping, and when there was no sun on rainy days, time was not easy to grasp.

In order to keep time, Sima Hui trained the rooster to chirp on time, and the method was to feed regularly.

In order to learn more, Zhuge Liang wanted Mr. Zhuge to extend the lecture time, but Mr. Zhuge always used the chicken chirping as the standard.

So Zhuge Liang thought: If the time of rooster chirping is extended, the time for Mr. Zhuge to lecture will also be extended.

So when he went to school, he brought some grain in his pocket, and estimated that when the chicken was about to bark, he would feed it a little grain, and the chicken would not bark as soon as he was full.

After some time, Mr. Sima felt strange, why didn't the chicken bark on time?

After careful observation, it was found that Zhuge Liang fed the chickens when they were about to bark.

At first, he was very angry, but soon he was still touched by Zhuge Liang's studious spirit, and he cared more about him, paid more attention to him, and had more unreserved education for him.

And Zhuge Liang was even more diligent.

Through Zhuge Liang's own efforts, he finally became a well-educated person who knew astronomy from above and geography from below.

Second, the father had time to personally teach Xiao Zhuge Liang to study, and patiently explained the diaries of his ancestors and his own collectors in detail, and informed Xiao Zhuge Liang some social knowledge.

His father, Zhuge Jue, was a Taishan Commandery at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang lost his mother at the age of 3.

In order to take care of their siblings' lives, his father, who was serving in Taishan County, continued to live (the stepmother's surname is unknown) and entrusted Zhuge Liang to Sima Hui, the water mirror, when Zhuge Liang was 5 years old.

Taishan County does not belong to Xuzhou, where the Langya State is located, and belongs to the neighboring Yanzhou, but Taishan County is adjacent to the Langya State, and it is not too far from Taishan County to Yangdu County, only more than 100 kilometers.

The history books do not record whether Zhuge Liang lived with his father in Taishan County when he was a child, but the two places are not far away, and even if Zhuge Liang has been living in his hometown, his father can often come back to visit.

When his father returned home, he taught Zhuge Liang his studies and gave him a solution.

Zhuge Jue also loved to keep a diary.

The young Zhuge Liang was too studious, and he also obtained a lot of spiritual wealth from the diary left by his father.

Third, the ancestor Zhuge Feng served as a lieutenant during the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Western Han Dynasty.

This position is not something that ordinary people can do.

It requires a quick mind + rapid judgment + extensive knowledge of law + royal power and fairness double trust + strong record and reporting ability and other abilities.

Zhuge Feng liked to write a diary, and the collector left it behind.

Zhuge Liang loved to read history books since he was a child, and sometimes read all night until dawn.

In addition to obtaining the genetic genes of his ancestors' wisdom, Zhuge Liang also obtained the ideas and ideas for analyzing problems and solving problems in the memories of his ancestors.

This is not the Three Character Classic + the Four Books and Five Classics + modern natural science knowledge, but the social knowledge of doing great things.

Fourth, Zhuge Liang's father went away at the age of 8, and only lived with his younger brother Zhuge Jun and his uncle Zhuge Xuan.

His uncle Zhuge Xuan was sent by Yuan Shu to Yuzhang to serve as Taishou (太守), where he was overtaken by his brother.

Later, the Eastern Han court sent Zhu Hao to replace Zhuge Xuan, and Zhuge Xuan went to Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

In the second year of Jian'an (197), Zhuge Liang's uncle Zhuge Xuan died of illness.

The time when his uncle was alive was the time when Zhuge Liang lost his mother and went to his father, and he took his younger brother Zhuge Jun with him.

During this time (9 to 16 years old), Zhuge Liang also gradually grew up to be a governor.

While working as a nanny and taking care of his brother like a mother, he learned to read even more frantically.

It was during this period that the young Zhuge Liang's thinking was completely enriched.

My uncle also loved to learn and had a lot of books.

Wherever you go, the books are shipped there.

His uncle often told Zhuge Liang about the current situation.

Zhuge Liang took care of his younger brother during the day, and when his brother fell asleep at night, he often hid in his uncle's library and read all night.

At night, where I can't read, after taking notes, I ask my uncle one by one during the day, and my uncle also patiently answers.

Later, his uncle Zhuge Xuan died of illness, he was only 16 years old, and he had to work hard to cultivate Longmu.

At this time, Zhuge Liang had learned to be rich in five cars.

But he still farmed and taught himself more than once, and was a true "yamano murao" military expert.

Fifth, the eldest brother's filial piety and spirit of governance also greatly nourished Little Zhuge Liang's mind.

Zhuge Jue's eldest son, Zhuge Jin,Shaoyou Jingshi (少游師), studied Mao Shi + Shang Shu + Zuo Shi Chunqiu (左氏春秋).

As the eldest son of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Jin's only purpose in Luoyang, the capital, could only be to study, and the goal was likely to be Taixue.

Taixue was the highest official school of the imperial court, and coming here to study was not only to get a diploma and find a ladder to advance to the official field, but also to get further education and improvement for themselves, because this was the place where various elites gathered, according to historical records, Yuan Shao had studied taixue, and Cao Cao also graduated from here.

Zhuge Jue sent his eldest son to Luoyang to study, indicating that he had vision and that he had such economic strength.

If there is no great chaos in the world, if there are no changes in the family, Zhuge Liang will probably go to Taixue to study when he grows up, become a scholar, or go to his career.

However, the chaotic world changes fate, and the changes in the family will also re-plan life.

Zhuge Jin is 8 years older than Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang also has two older sisters and a younger brother, the name and age of the older sister are unknown, and the younger brother's name is Zhuge Jun, 3 years younger than Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang's mother died very early, but the children were filial to their stepmother, especially Zhuge Jin, who was praised for his filial piety to his stepmother.

The character and spirit of the eldest brother also greatly affected Zhuge Liang's future and enriched his character.

Sixth, Zhuge Liang lost his mother and father at an early age, and after the young man lost his uncle, the long-term vigilance of "the road to the future depends on himself" is like a Hong Zhong hitting the soul in the depths of the blood.

Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang's mother died of illness when he was 3 years old, and his father died when he was 8 years old. His uncle died at the age of 16.

The originally happy family has been hit by such blows one after another, all of which are deeply imprinted in the heart of the young Zhuge Liang, and inevitably affect the formation of his determined and determined character.

Seventh, most of these friends made by Zhuge Liang were chaotic heroes, which greatly enriched his thinking and vision.

In the second year of Jian'an (197), Emperor Xian of Han had escaped from Li Dai of Chang'an and moved to Cao Cao's Xu County.

Zhuge Liang was 16 years old at this time, and he usually read "Father Liang Yin", and often compared himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, and people at that time were dismissive of him, only Xu Shu and Cui Zhou's friends believed in his talents.

He was friends with sima hui, Pang Degong, and Huang Chengyan of Xiangyang at that time.

Huang Chengyan once said to Zhuge Liang: "I heard that you want to choose a wife, there is an ugly girl in my family, with yellow hair and dark skin, but her talent can match you." ”

Zhuge Liang promised this affair and married her.

At that time, people were all making jokes for fun, and the township even made a proverb: "Don't be a woman of Kong Ming, just get an ugly woman."

But there is also a theory that Huang Yueying herself is extremely beautiful, so she is jealous of other young women in the township and denigrates her appearance.

But later it turned out that these friends Zhuge Liang had made in his early years were all masters in the chaotic world.

This pile of brilliant ideas also greatly enriched and nourished the life and future deeds of the young Zhuge Liang.

The above seven growth environments, as well as Zhuge Liang's self-learning management ability, helped him to become a unique talent in the world, only waiting for Liu Bei to take it.

Viii. Zhuge Liang rose through self-study.

Zhuge Liang lost his mother and father in his early years, and at the age of 16, he already had the vision of the world, relying on self-taught talent.

For the first time, it was directly given to Liu Bei.

At that time, Liu Bei was attached to Liu Biao, and Tun Bing was in Xinye.

Later, when Sima Hui met with Liu Bei, he said: "Those Confucians are people with shallow knowledge, how can they understand the situation of affairs in the world at that time?" Being able to understand the current situation of affairs is Junjie. At this time, there were only Wolong (Zhuge Liang) and Fengyan (Pang Tong). ”

Zhuge Liang was again recommended by Xu Shu, and Liu Bei hoped that Xu Shu would lead Xu Shu to meet him, but Xu Shu suggested: "This person can go to see him, but he cannot be bent here." Generals should condescend to visit each other. ”

Liu Bei personally went to visit, and went three times to see Zhuge Liang (known in history as "Three Gu Maolu").

After meeting Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei asked the others to avoid it and asked him: "Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, the traitors are doing things under the pretense of the emperor, and the emperor has lost his power. I did not measure my virtue and ability, and I wanted to revive the world with great righteousness, but my wisdom and strategy were short and insufficient, so I often failed, and I still do to this day. But my ambitions are still not flat, does Sir have any plans to help me? ”

Zhuge Liang then explained to him the plan of dividing the world into three parts, analyzed the situation in which Cao Cao was undesirable and Sun Quan could be helped; he also elaborated on the cowardice and weakness of the states of Jing and Yi, and the opportunity to take advantage of them, and only by possessing these two states could they win the world; and even told Liu Bei about the strategy of attacking the Central Plains.

This treatise was later called the Longzhong Pair.

After hearing this, Liu Bei praised zhuge liang and invited zhuge liang to help, so Zhuge Liang went out of the mountain and entered the curtain.

Liu Bei often talked with him, and his relationship became increasingly close.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and others were greatly displeased, and Liu Bei explained to them: "I have Kong Ming, just like a fish gets water, I hope you will not say it again." ”

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and others stopped complaining.

Zhuge Liang's "Longzhong Pair" was the basic national policy of Liu Bei and Shu Han in the following decades.

In fact, we must more realistically understand the provenance of Zhuge Liang in order to understand that Zhuge Liang is not God.

It is really a young person who has succeeded in self-study by quieting down.

Learning is the most valuable and greatest action in life.
