Wolong Zhuge Liang, why can he really borrow the east wind?

Wolong Zhuge Liang is from one of the four famous works of our country in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in a person who can speak eloquently, intelligent and intellectual, from the beginning of the article when Zhuge Liang was mentioned Zhuge Liang can know astronomy and geography, it is not that Zhuge Liang can really borrow the east wind during the Red Cliff War, but he knows astronomy and geography and knows which day the east wind will blow, and he acted this play, which made Zhou Yu afraid.

That's because Zhuge Liang had already explored the topography and climate here before this war, and he was able to borrow the east wind here.

The east wind was not borrowed by Zhuge Liang, it was he who calculated the direction of the wind and implemented the plan, but people called it borrowing the east wind.

Because Zhuge Liang was very good at studying meteorology at that time, he knew that the east wind would blow that day, so he was able to borrow the east wind.

Zhuge Liang's grass boat borrowed the east wind from the arrow actually depends on the weather to achieve, Zhuge Liang will observe the sky, so he can know the weather conditions, in order to realize the east wind.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed", can Zhuge Liang really borrow the east wind? When it comes to everything that is ready, I believe many people know that everything is ready, and only the fire or important things are coming. Generally, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and it is often talked about by people in today's life.

Of course, there are a lot of people who have made the east wind in ancient times, what is it? Is it really an east wind? I think there should be two meanings, how did Zhuge Liang in ancient times borrow the east wind?

With the development of modern science and technology, many people have expressed doubts about Zhuge Liang's borrowing of the east wind, can the wind really be "borrowed"? How did Zhuge Liang "borrow" the east wind? In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), Cao Cao led his troops to the south to conquer Sun Quan, and in October, Cao Cao stationed troops on the north bank of the Yangtze River to accept the serial plan offered by Pang Tong, and Cao Cao connected the warships with iron chains.

Located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the Sun-Liu coalition army, although it was defended by the Yangtze River, was still insufficient, and the best way was to attack Cao Cao with fire. However, it was in the middle of winter, there was only a northwest wind, and if the Sun-Liu coalition army was in a headwind position, it would only burn its own warship if it attacked with fire.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed" situation also made Zhou Yu worried, at this time, Zhuge Liang proposed: "Although Liang is not talented, he has met a stranger, and he teaches the Eight Dunjia Heavenly Books, which can call the wind and rain." Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu agreed on November 20 when Jiazi, with the sky to borrow the east wind, sure enough, at the appointed time, the east wind rose, Kong Ming used a trick to let the veteran Huang Gai pretend to surrender, burn Chibi, and defeat Cao's army.

This is the description of Kong Ming borrowing the east wind in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so how to unravel it.

What about the mystery of "borrowing the wind"?

Research has proved that the so-called borrowing of the east wind is actually just Zhuge Liang's flexible use of astronomical meteorology. First of all, why did Zhuge Liang choose November 20 as a day to borrow the wind? Ancient China also had in-depth research on meteorology, and there have always been records of "one yin on the summer solstice" and "one yang on the winter solstice".

November 20 is the day of the winter solstice, according to this law, before the winter solstice, if the yin qi is strong, the northwest wind is manifested along the Yangtze River, then after the winter solstice, the yang qi grows, and the wind direction will change, showing the southeast wind. Kong Ming knew the climate change law of "winter solstice and yangsheng", and accurately grasped the time when the east wind blew.

Zhuge Liang knows the truth, and Cao Cao must also understand this truth. "The winter solstice is a sunny life, and when it comes and goes, there is no southeast wind? What a wonder!

However, Cao Cao ignored a problem: "In the middle of winter, but there is a west wind and a north wind" is a judgment of the climate situation over a period of time, but forgot to consider the particularity of the winter solstice. The climate on the day of the winter solstice will change significantly from the previous time.

Obviously, Zhuge Liang took this issue into account, and this is also his cleverness. In addition, Kong Ming's family lives not far from Chibi and knows the local situation well. As a result, he was able to predict exactly how the weather would change on that day.

The southeast wind is a conclusion he came to by combining theory and practice.

Problem description: Which east wind seems to be the key factor in the success or failure of the Battle of Red Cliffs, so how did this east wind come about? It can't really be borrowed! So should the east wind blow at this time or is it just a coincidence? Can Zhuge Liang calculate this east wind in advance?

Analysis: First of all, Zhuge Villager has nothing to do with Dongfeng. This east wind is a weather phenomenon in the area of Boyang Lake on the Yangtze River, there will be a small spring in winter, at this time because the temperature of the Yangtze River is different from the lake, the southeast wind will be formed, you can check it yourself, and Zhuge Liang lives in the Jingxiang area, it is impossible to know, but Zhou Yu and Huang Gai have been training sailors here for a long time, and according to long-term experience, it is not the same Zhuge Liang can borrow the east wind in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
