Why is Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu, also known as the Crouching Dragon? Do you believe this fallacious explanation?
Zhuge Liang was born at dawn and was named "Liang".
Historical records show that Zhuge Liang's distant ancestor, whose real surname was Ge, was a man who followed Chen She in the uprising in the late Qin Dynasty. After General Ge Ying. Because of Ge Ying's meritorious service, he was killed by Chen She. Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty recorded his merits and granted his grandson the title of Marquis of Langya County (now Zhucheng City in Shandong Province). His descendants moved to Yangdu County. At that time, Yangdu already had In order to distinguish people with the surname Ge who originally lived in Yangdu from those with the surname Ge from Zhuxian County, the name of the county plus the word "Zhu" was added before the surname Ge from Zhuxian County, and they were called Zhuge. It became a compound surname. Over time, it was customary to use the compound surname Zhuge. Zhuge Liang was born on April 14, the 4th year of Guanghe, Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 181). On the same day that Zhuge Liang was born, Taoist Futou, a senior monk at Qingquan Temple, dreamed in his sleep that a group of red light slowly rose on the east bank of the Yi River, reflecting half of the sky red. Taoist Futou calculated with his fingers that a great man was about to be born, so he got up and went to see what happened. At this time, Zhuge Liang's father, Zhuge Gui, also felt upset in his post. It was estimated that his wife Zhang was about to give birth, so he rode home overnight. At about three o'clock, he finally arrived home. At the same time, Taoist Futou also came to Zhuge Liang. Gui family. After entering the door, Zhuge Gui saw that his wife had no accident, so he took a long breath and felt a lot more relaxed. He ordered his family to watch tea and asked the midwife to take good care of his wife. Zhuge Gui was waiting inside and outside, drinking tea and chatting with Taoist Futou. Suddenly, a baby's cry came from the inner room. This cry broke through the silence at dawn and brought auspicious gospel to the Zhuge family. Everyone's mouths opened like ripe pomegranates. The midwife came to the inner and outer rooms and said to Zhuge Gui and Taoist Futou with a smile on her face: "Madam and the young master are both safe and sound. Madam asked you to give the child a name!" Zhuge Gui and the two thought about it, and suddenly raised their heads from the window. Looking inside and outside Kong, he found that it was almost dawn and the east was already bright, so the two of them made a fuss about it and blurted out, "Let's just name it Liang, Zhuge Liang, and Kong Ming!" The family members listened. They felt that the name was well chosen and they were all very happy. In 197 AD (the second year of Jian'an), Zhuge Liang's uncle Zhuge Tuoxuan died of illness. After being persuaded by the famous people in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhuge Liang and his younger brother Zhuge Jun came to settle in Longzhongshan Village in the west of Xiangyang City, and lived a secluded life of "working hard in Nanyang, surviving in troubled times, and not seeking to learn and reach the princes". After farming, he read a lot of books, made close friends, studied the art of war, quietly observed the current situation, and thought deeply about political strategies. Although he lived in seclusion, he was highly regarded by the world for his erudition, far-sightedness, and great ambition. Therefore, Pang De, a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, called him "Wolong" and his nephew Pang Tong "Feng Chu", which is as famous as Zhuge Liang. From then on, Zhuge Liang was known as "Mr. Wolong".
