Zhuge Liang was born in Yangdu County, Langya County, Xuzhou in 181. Zhuge Feng, his ancestor, served as a captain of the Si Li in the Han and Yuan Dynasties, and Zhuge's family belonged to a famous family in the local area.

Zhuge Liang's father, Zhuge Liang, served as a county official in Taishan, but died when Zhuge Liang was eight years old. Zhuge Liang, his brother Zhu Gejin, his younger brother Zhuge Jun and his two sisters were raised by his uncle Zhuge Xuan.

in Zhuge Liang's childhood, it was the time when the Eastern Han Dynasty was extremely eroded and the people were miserable, and natural disasters occurred constantly. People are hungry and cold? Forced, desperate, and finally in 184 AD, the Yellow Scarf peasant uprising broke out.

Zhuge Liang's uncle Zhuge Xuan and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao are old friends? After their family came to Xiangyang, they were taken special care of by Liu Biao and soon established a close relationship with the local famous family. Zhuge Liang's wife is the daughter of Huang Chengyan, a famous man in Miannan.

The unique objective environment gave birth to Zhuge Liang, who has the talent of being an easy-going and arrogant person. Through his own hard work, he quickly acquired the talent of being a leader, and was praised as "Wolong". In 27 AD, Liu Bei, who was in the land of Eritrea and full of heart, came to Longzhong three times to visit Zhuge Liang, asked him about the plan to unify the world, and invited Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain to help him complete the great cause of reunification.

Zhuge Liang brilliantly analyzed the situation of the country from the aspects of politics, military affairs, geography and personnel, and suggested that Liu Beixian occupy Jingzhou and Yizhou as the base areas, build good relations with the southwest ethnic minorities, repair politics internally, accumulate strength, wait for favorable opportunities, and then attack the Central Plains from Jingzhou and Hanzhong, so as to realize the purpose of unifying the country and revitalizing the Han Dynasty. This is the famous Longzhong pair. Since then, history has proved that this is a farsighted and correct strategy.

in 28 ad, Cao Cao attacked Jingzhou, and Zhuge Liang was defeated by Liu Bei in Xiakou, now Hankou. In the midst of defeat and crisis, Zhuge Liang stepped forward to make an alliance with Sun and Liu, and won the victory of Battle of Red Cliffs, so that Liu Bei occupied four counties in Jingzhou.

in 221 ad, the Shu-Han empire was established, with Zhuge Liang as prime minister. After Liu Bei's death, President Zhuge Liang was in charge of state affairs. He enforced the rule of law, married Sun Quan, and fought in the south and north until he died in the former army of Wuzhang, the front line of the Northern Expedition, at the age of 54.
