"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the River Continent." Ladies and gentlemen. "In the history of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, there is basically no talented person who does not love beautiful people. And why would such a wise figure as Zhuge Liang and Socrates be willing to be at the mercy of fate and take an ugly woman home?
From the perspective of the two people's life experiences, there are many similarities, but in comparison, Zhuge Liang is much luckier. Because he met Liu Bei, he helped Liu Bei divide the world in the chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms, and he also lived for hundreds of lifetimes. Socrates, on the other hand, tragically sacrificed his life for his truth, and spent his whole life in poverty.
I think there are three factors why Zhuge Liang will marry Huang Yueying: First, Zhuge Liang is impressed by Huang Yueying's talent. Anyone who has seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows that Zhuge Liang invented wooden cattle and horses to transport grain and grass to the army during the Northern Expedition. And Zhuge Liang was able to invent this strange thing because he was proud of his wife. Legend has it that Huang Yueying was particularly good at this technique of mechanism, and Zhuge Liang was startled by the wooden dogs and wooden tigers she made when he first came to the door.
Second, Zhuge Liang took a fancy to Huang Yueying's family background. Zhuge Liang is a figure with a heart for the world, and he naturally thinks far-reaching when he marries. Huang Yueying's father has a lot of political resources. Leaving aside the personal relationship between them, Huang Yueying's aunt is the wife of Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Under the circumstances at that time, it was like a fish in the water to get Liu Biao's political support.
Third, Zhuge Liang's family was poor. Zhuge Liang's parents died early, and it was his uncle who raised him. The sages of ancient times were all lonely, so was Zhuge Liang willing to be alone? At that time, Zhuge Liang was also not small, and with Huang Yueying's inner show, it was not unusual for Zhuge Liang to marry her.
Socrates married Xantibé for a similar reason. Socrates married twice in his lifetime, and Xantibe was his second wife. At that time, Socrates and his newlywed wife were probably more than thirty years apart, and the old man and the young wife were naturally very cherished. Coupled with the fact that Socrates himself was really anxious, it was not easy to marry a second wife.
In addition, Xantibé, although grumpy, was genuinely in love with Socrates. She splashed Socrates with water and pulled his coat on the street, all because she was angry. Socrates was originally a sculptor, and it is said that people at that time liked statues, and he should have a good business. But the great thinker spent his days idly preaching his ideas among the peddlers and pawns, and his family could not even eat a full meal. So Xantibe also hates iron not steel.
In general, Zhuge Liang and Socrates' wives were deeply in love with them. Although their looks or personalities are flawed, no one is perfect, and it is really not easy to find a person who loves each other to the point of whitehead in their lives. I also wish you all a good person to spend your life together!
