"Falled leaves return to their roots and rest in the soil." Why did Zhuge Liang not return to his roots?

Chinese people believe in "fallen leaves returning to their roots", which means that after death, it is best to be buried in one's hometown, just like fallen leaves falling to the roots of a tree, returning to the embrace of the "mother". But the famous wise man Zhuge Liang did not do this. He did not ask the monarch to return his coffin to Shu for burial, but chose to be buried in Dingjun Mountain. This contained his thinking and wisdom. 1. Why did Zhuge Liang not return to his roots?

Chinese people pay attention to "returning fallen leaves to their roots" and "burying them in peace", but Zhuge Liang valued the latter more, so he did not let his coffin return to Shu for burial. Because the territory of Shu was the enemy's territory at that time, as Liu Bei's counselor and powerful official, the coffin returned to Shu would undoubtedly be "sent into the tiger's mouth". So, why did Zhuge Liang decide to be buried in Dingjun Mountain instead of choosing another place?

For this, later generations speculated on the following reasons: 1. Dingjun Mountain is a geomantic treasure land with undulating mountains and surrounded by streams, making it a good place for burial; 2. During his lifetime, Dingjun Mountain was where he conquered Cao Wei's front line? Position? This place is a battleground for military strategists. Burying himself here shows his determination in the Northern Expedition and his loyalty to protect the Han Dynasty. He will be stationed in Dingjun Mountain before and after his death; 3. The terrain of Dingjun Mountain Special, plus Zhuge Liang told Liu Chan to bury him in Dingjun Mountain without raising a grave and without a luxurious burial, which shows that he did all this to prevent the coffin from being stolen. 2. The legend about Zhuge Liang and Dingjun Mountain

Some people say that Zhuge Liang did not tell Liu Chan where to bury him at that time, but asked him to order four strong men to tie the coffin with reins and carry it with poles. If the reins break when walking south, then bury yourself there. After Zhuge Liang died, Liu Chan followed his instructions and ordered four strong men to carry the coffin southward. However, the four strong men were exhausted, so they decided to bury Zhuge Liang on the spot and lied that the rope was broken when they went back. Liu Chan would not pursue it.

After they told Liu Chan the whole story and the fact that the prime minister had been buried, Liu Chan thought they were lying because it was impossible for the rope to be broken in such a short period of time, and immediately ordered them to be killed. Four people. Therefore, so far, no one has been able to find the exact location of Zhuge Liang's tomb, which is a great mystery in history.

Whether it is returning fallen leaves to their roots or being laid to rest, it is all for the soul to find peace. But if it is safer for Zhuge Liang to be buried in Dingjun Mountain than to return to his hometown, then why go to all the trouble? Fallen leaves return to their roots? Therefore, a wise man is a wise man. He pays more attention to the consequences of doing things and pays less attention to conventional things.
