Comparing the former residences of Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Liu Bei, who has the best "Feng Shui"?
Three Kingdoms fight for hegemony, Sun Wu, Cao Liu. When people talk about their achievements, as well as the comprehensive strength of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, they all like to make this cliché comparison - Wei controls the time of heaven, Wu controls the territory, and Shu controls the harmony.
The territory occupied by the Wei State was in the Central Plains. Cao Cao also implemented the policy of "holding the emperor to order the princes", so he had the advantage of "the right time" both economically and politically. .
The Wu Kingdom occupies the land south of the Yangtze River, with the natural barrier of the Yangtze River as a natural barrier. After three generations of management by the Sun family, the country is as solid as gold, so it is said to occupy favorable territory.
The Shu Kingdom occupied Sichuan. Under the golden banner of Liu Bei and Liu Huangshu, people with lofty ideals from all over came to join him.
From the economic and military strength of Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Liu Bei, Cao Cao should be slightly stronger, Sun Quan should be second, and Liu Bei is a little behind. But if we look at the support of the people, the Han Dynasty According to the orthodoxy of the Liu family, Liu Bei surpasses Sun Quan and Cao Cao.
According to the principles of normal competition, removing the highest score and then removing the lowest score, the comprehensive strength of the Wei, Shu and Wu regimes can be considered to be basically equal.
But are their achievements really equivalent? The editor has an algorithm that is different from ordinary people, that is, counting from the place of their birth.
Let’s talk about the most awesome Cao Cao first. Cao Cao's grandfather was Cao Teng. He served in the Han court for more than 30 years and served four emperors. He was definitely a ruthless eunuch. After Cao Teng's death, Cao Song inherited the title left by his father. He served as Sili Xiaowei, and then as Da Sinong and Da Honglu. Later, he spent a lot of money to buy a high-ranking official position as a Taiwei.
Cao Cao’s former residence is no longer there, but it is located east of Qiaocheng and backed by Huangcheng. It is at least two and a half acres in size - at that time, it was definitely a mansion!
Let’s look at the starting process of Cao Cao, the “second generation official”: In the third year of Xiping (174), Cao Cao was promoted as Xiaolian and came to Luoyang, the capital, as a man. Soon, he was appointed as the Northern Lieutenant of Luoyang.
Next, let’s analyze the “thousand-year old” Sun Quan.
Sun Quan’s ancestral home was Fuchun, Wu County, but he was born in Xiapi. Sun Quan’s father was named Sun Jian. During the Guanghe period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he served as the Prime Minister of Xiapi.
Sun Quan is a typical second-generation rich man who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Sun Jian started his career by wiping out the Yellow Turban Army. He and his eldest son Sun Ce, the overlord, started the business of Soochow. Later, Sun Jian and Sun Ce died one after another, and Soochow was completely handed over to Sun Quan.
The situation when Sun Quan became the boss of the Soochow regime is very similar to the situation when a "rich second generation" takes over a multinational company from his father and brother.
Next let’s talk about the “poor second generation” Liu Bei, who made a living by weaving mats and selling shoes.
There is basically no need to discuss whether Liu Bei is the successor of King Jing of Zhongshan. It is as meaningless as someone whose surname is Li and thinks he is the thirty-eighth generation descendant of Li Shimin.
Liu Bei’s father’s name is Liu Hong. This name looks impressive, but he is actually a villager who farmed the land. He also died early, leaving behind orphans and widowers. Liu Bei and his mother struggled to survive. Go down and start selling mats and straw sandals along the street.
There is a record in "Huayang Guozhi" that there is a tall mulberry tree growing on one side of the Liu family's thatched house and fenced courtyard. From a distance, it looks like the canopy on the emperor's traveling vehicle. People say that Liu Bei's future luck will be unstoppable. Liu Bei also said: I must ride in this Yubao covered chariot.
When the editor saw this, he couldn't help but smile silently. In terms of Feng Shui, mulberry trees are not suitable for planting in the courtyard, because this tree has the meaning of funeral. When Liu Bei was a child, he was so poor that he hawked mulberry trees along the street. For the sake of Liu Bei, those historians who play with words still write Liu Bei's "I must ride on this Yu Bao covered chariot". Is it interesting?
Liu Bei is definitely a grassroots. Maybe such a grassroots, after working hard for a lifetime, will not reach the starting point of Sun Quan, the second generation of rich people, and Cao Cao, the second generation of officials. However, Liu Bei finally created the Shu Han kingdom after barbaric and reverse growth.
Comparing the three people, who do you think has the greatest achievement? The achievements of Liu Bei at the grassroots level are incomparable to those of Cao Cao and Sun Quan. Through this incident, we can draw the conclusion that nothing is impossible except what we can't imagine! The starting point for selling straw sandals is not low, and Zhu Yuanzhang still has to make a living! Smart and wise reader, do you think this is the truth?
