Why the Three Kingdoms Zhao Hu is not famous?

Zhao Hu was a very famous calligrapher in the Three Kingdoms period, and Zhao Hu was a long-lived old man, who lived for 89 years. This era was a miracle in the Three Kingdoms period, or it was related to his twice refusal of Cao Cao's invitation to be an official. Zhao Hu is also very talented, but he doesn't want to participate in the disputes in the world, and Zhao Hu also knows that Cao Cao may lose his life if he makes a mistake, so he refused. However, Cao Cao also let Zhao Hu go this time. If Cao Cao has made up his mind, it's no use refusing.

"Kongming" is a household name in China, and even primary school students know that he is Zhuge Liang's character. However, it is not rigorous to equate Kongming with Zhuge Liang, because there was not only one Kongming in the Three Kingdoms period, but also a legend named Kongming.

Interestingly, this Kong Ming has two advantages, which are incomparable with the historical romance or Zhuge Liang.

So, who is this legendary Kong Ming?

His name is Zhao Hu, a native of Yingchuan (now Yuzhou, Henan), also known as "Kongming", which can be called "Hu Kongming". Like Hu, Hu was a farmer at first.

But the difference is that Zhu Gekongming, who lives in seclusion in Longzhong, is sitting and watching the general trend of the world, choosing the sage and voting for it, and also has the purpose of building the "Wolong" brand to improve its popularity and attract the sage; Hu lives in seclusion, but he is not interested in politics and likes quiet and elegant country life.

Hu is not without opportunities to be an official. When Yuan Shao was in power, Hu went to Jizhou to avoid chaos. Yuan Shao wanted him to work there, but Hu refused. Later, Cao Cao went to Yuan Shao to dominate the Central Plains and invited Hu to be his counselor, but Hu declined every time. Cao Cao felt humiliated and had to say, "Everyone has his own ambition, and you have your noble pursuit. I won't force you to do whatever you want. "

Cao Cao was cruel, and Hu repeatedly refused his call-up. Why didn't Cao Cao take revenge on Hu angrily? This is related to Hu's true and modest personality. Hu lived in seclusion, not for fame, so he would not insult Cao Cao by showing his so-called arrogance with his talent and arrogance. Cao Cao is most disgusted with those literati who are fishing for fame. Even if Hu rejected Cao Cao, he would talk about it instead of this topic.

After bidding farewell to Cao Cao, Hu moved to Luhun Mountain, making a living by farming, reading for fun in his spare time and living a leisurely life. Although Hu is brilliant, he is low-key and approachable, so his neighbors respect and love him.

One year, Sun Wolf, a commoner of Wei State, was dissatisfied with the long service journey, led the corvee to launch a rebellion, and then went to Guan Yu. Guan Yu gave the official seal to Sun Lang and others, and gave him a group of soldiers. When Sun Wolf returned to the local area, he became an outlaw and disturbed one side. However, Hu's residence is in Deer Soul Mountain near Sun Wolf's Nest, but it is quiet. It turns out that the sun wolf is unruly, but he also has integrity. He said to his subordinates, "Hu is a saint. Don't disturb him."

Because of this, Hu's neighbors can live and work in peace and contentment without looting.

As mentioned above, Hu has two strengths, which one is? One is Hu's calligraphy. He was a famous calligrapher at that time and was good at official script. He is on par with Zhong You and Wei Ji, and is also called "Hu Zhong" with Zhong You. There is also a saying in the Jianghu that "Zhong Shi is small and Hu Shi is unrestrained".

The second is Hu's life span. Zhuge Liang lived only 54 years old, while Hu lived to 250 AD. This is because of his detached attitude towards life and taking pleasure in others. Zhao Hu was born in 16 1, 20 years older than Zhu Geliang, and lived 89 years. At that time, he was a rare old man with a long life.
