Paiba Array is the name of an array method, which was created by Sun Bin, a great strategist in the Warring States Period. It is said that it was inspired by the eight diagrams in the Book of Changes, so it is also called Eight Diagrams Array.
Zhuge Liang's intelligence is one of the best in the history of China, and Zhuge Liang's ingenuity is largely due to his Eight Arrays.
Later, due to the rendering of some novels, such as Romance, the Eight Arrays became mysterious, but in fact, as early as Sun Bin's Art of War in the Warring States Period, there were Eight Arrays, and in Ban Gu's Ming of Feng Yanran in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it can be seen that the Eight Arrays existed long before Zhuge Liang.
of course, Zhuge Liang's eight arrays are not those of his predecessors. He developed on the basis of summing up the predecessors, and is already his own eight arrays, so "the Eight-Sided Fortress is founded on his fame" is still right. Extended information
Zhuge Liang is a figure that many people admire very much. Looking at The Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Beijing Opera, everyone knows that he is dressed in gossip clothes, wearing a black silk scarf and holding a feather fan. He is calm and carefree, and he has devised such a well-known coup as an empty city plan or borrowing arrows from grass boats. But the real Zhuge Liang is not like the charming in Beijing Opera, and there is no sjms in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The History of the Three Kingdoms is the truly credible history book. The author Chen Shou added a postscript to the Biography of Zhuge Liang, saying that Zhuge Liang had done a very good job in administrative work, was very loyal to people, and was willing to be generous to Liu Bei all his life, and the law was strict and fair all his life, but he added a sentence that "fighting is not his strong point", which means that fighting is not.
This is different from the image of Zhuge Liang in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Luo Guanzhong has created many well-known stories in his novels, but Zhuge Liang in history is not Zhuge Liang written by Luo Guanzhong, let alone Zhuge Liang in Beijing Opera.
Zhuge Liang had foreseen the situation of "three points in the world" when Liu Bei visited Mao Lu, but Lu Su also saw this situation. At that time, the Central Plains had fought a civil war for decades, and Liu Bei had not yet entered Sichuan, and even Jingzhou had not been reached. Zhuge Liang could foresee that Sichuan would belong to Liu Bei, so some people doubted the authenticity of "Longzhong Dui".
