Origin: Chen Shou's "Longzhong Dui" in Wei and Jin Dynasties, Yizhou is a dangerous fortress, a land of fertile land and abundant land, and Gaozu became an emperor because of it. Liu Zhang is weak, Zhang Lu is in the north, the people are rich but don't know how to keep shirts, and the wise think of the wise.
Interpretation of vernacular:
Jingzhou is bordered by Hanshui and Mianshui in the north, and materials can reach the South China Sea all the way. It is connected with Wu Jun County and Huiji County in the east and Ba County and Shu County in the west. This is a place that everyone wants to compete for, but its owner has no ability to hold it. This is probably because God used it to fund the general. General, do you mean to occupy it?
Yizhou has dangerous terrain, vast and fertile land and superior natural conditions, so Gaozu became emperor. Liu Zhang is fatuous and cowardly, and Zhanglubei occupies Hanzhong. The people are well-off and rich in products, but Liu Zhang doesn't know how to cherish them. Talented people long for a wise monarch.
Extended data writing background:
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuchs were autocratic, the government was corrupt, the politics was dark, the people were poor, and the class contradictions and internal contradictions of the ruling class were extremely acute. Finally, a nationwide peasant uprising broke out in A.D. 184.
After the yellow turban insurrectionary peasant uprising failed, the landlord class aggravated the exploitation of the peasants, the politics was extremely dark, and the local strongmen were separated by armed forces, forming a decade-long warlord scuffle.
At the beginning of the separatist melee, Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou and Yuzhou (southern Shandong and Henan), Yuan Shao occupied Hebei, Qinghai, Binhe and Youzhou (Hebei, Liaoning, Shandong, Shanxi and northern Henan), Liu Biao occupied Jingzhou (Hubei and Hunan), Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong (lower reaches of the Yangtze River) and Ada and Liu Zhang occupied Yizhou (Sichuan).
Liu Bei attached himself to Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and later came to Jingzhou to take refuge in Liu Biao, in an attempt to recruit talents and dominate the world in the name of "restoring the Han Dynasty".
In 207 AD, Xu Shu recommended Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei. Liu Bei went to Longzhong and visited Zhuge Liang's hut. Zhuge Liang received Liu Bei in the hut and analyzed the world situation. After Zhuge Liang came out to assist Liu Bei. This "Longzhong Dui" is a record of Zhuge Liang's talk about the world events at that time in Chen Shou's "Biography of the Three Kingdoms and Zhuge Liang".
Appreciation of articles:
"Longzhong Dui" is about Liu Bei visiting Zhuge Liang and asking Zhuge Liang to come out to make suggestions. Through the countermeasures of Longzhong, the article shows the image of Zhuge Liang, a far-sighted politician and strategist.
He is good at sizing up the situation, observing and analyzing the situation, grasping the overall situation through the present situation, being far-sighted and inferring the future. The author's portrayal of Zhuge Liang is gradually and deeply completed.
