The main significance of "Chu Shi Biao" is to express:
1. "Chu Shi Biao" reflects Zhuge Liang's loyalty to the country and care for the people. In the article, Zhuge Liang fondly reviewed the last wishes of the late emperor Liu Bei and expressed his determination and belief in reviving the Han Dynasty. He pointed out that the rise and fall of the Shu Han was related to the fate of the people across the country, and we must go all out to restore the Central Plains. This deep affection and sense of responsibility for the country and the people embodies Zhuge Liang's noble character and loyal spirit.
2. "Shi Shi Biao" shows Zhuge Liang's encouragement and expectations for his successor Liu Chan. Zhuge Liang clearly stated in his article that the main policies of the post-war period were to spread the word, be strict about rewards and punishments, and keep the virtuous and distant from the nefarious, in order to revive the Han Dynasty and return it to the old capital. At the same time, he also expressed his expectations and advice for his successor, hoping that he would put the country first, continue to learn, and improve his ability to govern. This kind of concern and expectation for Liu Chan, the later master, reflects Zhuge Liang's political wisdom and foresight.
3. "Chu Shi Biao" had a profound impact on the development of the literature of admonishment by loyal ministers in ancient China. As an important part of ancient Chinese political culture, the literature of loyal ministers admonishing has always played an important role in history. "Chu Shi Biao", as a model of literature for loyal ministers to advise, not only has extremely high literary value, but also provides us with a unique perspective from which to observe and understand ancient political culture.
