Why did Zhuge Liang choose to live in seclusion in Nanyang?

Zhu Gekongming's "one mold" was deeply impressed at that time, that is, "I was dressed in cloth and plowed in Nanyang". It's easy to understand just by looking at the literal meaning. Zhu Gekongming thinks he is an ordinary person, who lives by farming in Nanyang. There are many arguments about whether Zhu Gekongming is wearing clothes or whether he planted the land himself. Leave it alone for the time being. What interests me is Nanyang. Why does Nanyang appear many times in Zhuge Liang's speech? What does Nanyang mean to him?

First of all, Nanyang was his last position before coming out of the mountain. Speaking of coming out of the mountain, we have to mention the story that he was invited out of the mountain by Liu Bei, which is also familiar to us. Thought of here, my thoughts can't help drifting away. The legend of Wollongong in Nanyang is Zhuge Liang's training place before he came out of the mountain. After historical changes, the story about Zhuge Liang has been circulated by many people, and how much truth is still unknown. But what is puzzling is, Zhuge Liang, how did this Shandong native come to Nanyang? They left their hometown and came to Nanyang because there was a war there, and they had to come to Nanyang to escape the war.

Zhuge Liang chose Nanyang as a secluded place because it is close to Xiangyang. Zhuge Liang followed his younger brother Zhuge Xuan to take refuge in Xiangyang Liu Biao. Liu Biao is a very talented person in history. Under his rule, people in wartime lived a stable life for more than ten years. The stability of Xiangyang has brought great help to Zhuge Liang's growth, because Zhuge Liang spent his most important study period here. Because people live a stable life, they have the mind to do some learning instead of running around. Zhuge Liang grew up rapidly in such a rare academic atmosphere.

There are a group of like-minded people in Nanyang, which will be of great help for him to realize his ideals in the future! Zhuge Liang chose to live in seclusion in Nanyang, not because he stopped asking about the world. On the contrary, he met a group of like-minded friends in Nanyang. They often communicate and learn from each other. They talk about ancient things and today's things. They are very concerned about the social situation. It can be said that Nanyang is the beginning of his network accumulation. It was during this period that he gained a deeper understanding of the world situation.

Nanyang has good personal support, which also gives him political support! To say that Huang is the most influential person he knows, Huang's background is very deep, and he has a close relationship with Liu Biao in Xiangyang. Moreover, Zhuge Liang married Huang's daughter, Zhuge Liang's second sister married a big family in Xiangyang, and Zhuge Liang's brother-in-law's father was a famous academic leader and master figure Pang Degong. At this time, Zhuge Liang received not only academic support but also political support. This enabled him to quickly understand the development of the current situation and the political trends among governors, and also laid a very deep foundation for him to analyze and explain the general trend of the world for Liu Bei in the future.
