C

Test your understanding of historical figures. "His achievements cover three parts of the country, and his name is the Eight Formations." These two sentences praise Zhuge Liang's great achievements. The first sentence is written from a general aspect, saying that Zhuge Liang made the most outstanding achievements in the process of establishing the situation where Wei, Shu, and Wu were divided into three parts of the world. There are certainly many factors that led to the coexistence of the Three Kingdoms, and Zhuge Liang's assistance in helping Liu Bei create the foundation of Shu from scratch should be said to be one of the important reasons. Du Fu's highly summarized praise objectively reflects the historical reality of the Three Kingdoms era. The second sentence is written from a specific aspect, saying that Zhuge Liang's creation of the Eight Formations made him more famous, and it praised Zhuge Liang's military achievements more concentratedly and concisely.
