The true face of Zhuge Liang in history is very handsome. Chen Shou, a historian in the Western Jin Dynasty, recorded in the History of the Three Kingdoms: "He is eight feet long, with extraordinary appearance and different people." There is also a saying in the History of the Three Kingdoms that describes Zhuge Liang's appearance: "The right to see elegance." It is said that after seeing Zhuge Liang, Sun Quan, the Lord of the Kingdom of Wu, was amazed at Zhuge Liang's elegant demeanor, self-restraint and manners.
Zhuge Liang is a great man, so who is his wife? History shows that Zhuge Liang's wife is Huang Huang Yue Ying. Is the daughter of Mianyang celebrity Huang. Huang recommended Zhuge Liang because of his talent. He said to Zhuge Liang, who still lives in Longzhong, "I heard that you are choosing a wife. I have an ugly girl with yellow hair and dark skin, but she can deserve you. " As a result, Zhuge Liang agreed and immediately married Huang.
According to legend, Huang Yueying has yellow hair, dark skin and a little yellow hair. Zhuge Liang is "eight feet long and handsome", which is burly and handsome in the present words. Coupled with his profound knowledge and good personality, he is simply a "bachelor". People in China have always paid attention to "perfect talent and good looks". At that time, the stories of Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao, Lu Bu and Diusim were all standard marriages that were celebrated through the ages. Why did Zhuge Liang marry an ugly woman?
Zhuge Liang was originally from Shandong and later moved to Longzhong. During his ten years in Longzhong, Zhuge Liang changed from an ordinary teenager to a wise man. How does a stranger grow up to be the leader of the juvenile school? This is not only Zhuge Liang's own cleverness, but also the personnel relationship he established after he came to Xiangyang. Among them, with the establishment of the landlord class and the growth of local powerful forces, getting married is a more important reason. At that time, in Xiangyang area under Liu Biao's rule, the strongmen were mainly Pang, Cai, Huang, Kuai, Ma, Yang, etc., and they were divided into the opposition (Pang, Huang, Ma, Yang) and those who worked for Liu Biao (mainly Kuai and Cai).
Zhuge Liang has established close relations with both factions. Zhuge Liang's elder sister married Kuaiqi, and his younger sister married Pang Shanmin of Pang's family. So Zhuge Liang established a relationship with Kuai and Pang, and Pang's wife married her daughter and got in touch with her family. This brings two benefits. First, to help him establish himself in Xiangyang without being bullied, and to form a certain political force. Second, it will help him get a mentor and promote his academic progress and political development.
Liu Biao's wife and Huang's wife are brother and sister. Zhuge Liang married Huang's daughter and Liu Biao became Zhuge Liang's uncle. This relationship became the biggest political backer for Zhuge Liang's survival and progress in Xiangyang, and also the source of information he got from the upper rulers, which provided him with unique conditions for observing and analyzing the situation and understanding the world events.
Zhuge Liang's role in marrying Huang's daughter is undoubtedly the greatest. Zhuge Liang had to weigh this unusual "privileged relationship" three times. Huang is a local celebrity. After marrying Huang, he can get a lot of advice and strong support from Huang, which is very beneficial to his career. Huang is the niece of Liu Biao's stepmother Chua's and Cai Mao's. Married to Huang Can, he has established close blood relationship with the ruler Liu Biao and the strongman Cai Mao, which is of great help to his future political career. Although Huang's appearance is not beautiful, she is very talented. Marrying her can get a good wife, which is of great help to her career. Three long and one short, why not? Besides, in feudal society, it is normal to marry three wives and four concubines. If the wife is not beautiful, find a beautiful little wife.
With the help of the relationship between Huang and Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang has further ties with Jingzhou's political and military circles. Through these channels, Zhuge Liang, who lives in Longzhong, can quickly understand the development of the current situation, the political trends of various figures such as the imperial court and governors, and the insider activities of various political groups at that time.
If Huang is not a relative of Liu Biao and Chua's, not the daughter of celebrity Huang, but the daughter of an ordinary person, Zhuge Liang may not get married even if he is beautiful, right?
