Why did Zhuge Liang become a recognized wise saint in all dynasties?

Out of sympathy, he praised it, and most of the ancient scholars were as special as him, and Mr. Luo Guanzhong regarded it as his own.

Smart, Shu mainly relies on him. But during the Three Kingdoms, it was Sima Yi who was smarter than him. Zhuge Liang is a one-handed cover of the sky in Shu State, and he can do whatever he wants, while Sima Yi is everywhere in Wei State under the monitoring and constraints of the Cao Wei clan, but as a result, Sima Yi's descendants agree with China!!

yes, it's really that smart.

Zhuge Liang may be called a saint.

The so-called "saint", in terms of standards, has an "ear" on the left side to express the Tao and reach the righteousness of heaven and earth; There is a "mouth" table on the right side to propagate the truth and educate the public; The "king" below represents the virtue of commanding all things as kings, and virtue is practiced everywhere. In other words, a saint is a person of high moral character, great wisdom, and who has reached the highest and most perfect state of human beings. According to the above three criteria, Zhuge Liang may not fully meet them.

Therefore, some people think that the sage of the Three Kingdoms is not Zhuge Liang but Mr. Sima Hui. Sima Hui was erudite and proficient in scriptures, and when he was in Jingzhou, he was as famous as Song Zhong, a great Confucian in the late Han Dynasty, and he was full of virtue.

However, the criteria for identifying saints in the "Hong Fan" are much broader, and it believes that "wisdom is holy." Whoever is proficient in all things is called holy." The Book of Jin and the Zizhi Tongjian also refer to the immortals and monks who have strange arts as saints.

From this point of view, Zhuge Liang can also be called a saint.

Do your best, and then die. A lifetime of whiteness, who can match? Zhuge Liang is admired not only for his intelligence, but also for Zhuge Liang's morality.

Zhuge Liang's sanctification mainly began with the change of status of Shu Han.

The first is that the Eastern Han claimed to have continued the imperial rule of the Western Han Dynasty, which gave the impression that the Han Dynasty was a long dynasty that lasted for 400 years. Therefore, the Han dynasty was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that although the eunuchs and relatives were seriously autocratic in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the prestige of the Han family was still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

By the time of the dedication of the emperor, the Han family had essentially no control over the warlords in various places, and even so, Cao Cao never dared to replace him after serving the Han dynasty. Throughout his life, he betrayed Cao Cao several times under the banner of the Han family.

By the time of Cao Pi in the Han Dynasty, although he took many steps cautiously, such as imitating Wang Mang's nine-tin system, and imitating Yao Shun's two daughters who married the Duke of Shanyang (Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty) (following the example of Empress E's daughter). But this stability was limited to a short-lived period of stability during Cao Wei's reign.

In later generations, people will still think that Cao Wei is a usurper. And Liu Bei has always been under the banner of being a descendant of the Han family, even if he is the emperor of Shu, he is a continuation of the fire virtue of the Han family. This gives the impression that Liu Bei is the legitimate successor of the Han family, not a rebel of the ** regime.

This image of loyalty and righteousness of the Han family made future generations form an inherent view of the era of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei was loyal, Cao Cao was a treacherous usurper, and Sun Quan was a nouveau riche in Jiangdong.

After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang was in power and was shaped as the successor of the great cause of recovering the Han Dynasty. What's more, Zhuge Liang did not replace Liu Chan, but finally died in office due to fatigue. In addition, Zhuge Liang himself lived a simple life, had no luxury hobbies, and had the most exemplary image of a Chinese literati, who was tall and honest, gained status with his knowledge, and dedicated his life to national politics.

As a result, Zhuge Liang became a model for later generations of literati. In Luo Guanzhong's pen, it summarizes Zhuge Liang's evaluation in the mouths of later generations, plus his personal artistic processing. Zhuge Liang, like Guan Yu, has become a sanctified character.

Because Zhuge Liang is not only clever, but also for Shu Han and Kuang to support the Han family, he did his best, and he died. Therefore, in the two aspects of his self-seeking and noble conduct, he has become a wise saint of the ages in China.

I think Zhuge Liang is relying on a teacher table to express the noble sentiment of doing his best and dying, plus some of his heroic achievements. That's why he can slowly change from a generation of famous faces to a wise saint through the ages.

Some exaggerated feelings. There are many people who are stronger than Zhuge Liang in history, and their historical achievements are also higher than him, so they are not a good match.

Of course it is. Zhuge Liang has unpredictable abilities and the art of war, so he is respected as a wise saint by later generations.

I think Zhuge Liang is very worthy, Zhuge Liang's wisdom is rare in the Three Kingdoms and even in later generations, and he can support Shu alone for so many years.
