Zhuge Liang (181-23410-8), a native of Yang Du, Xuzhou (now yinan county, Linyi City, Shandong Province), was an outstanding politician, strategist, essayist and calligrapher during the Three Kingdoms period.

When he was alive, he was named Hou of Wuxiang. After his death, he pursued loyalty to the marquis of Wuxiang. Because of its military ability, the Eastern Jin regime was posthumously named King Wu Xing.

Representative prose works include An Example and A Book of Commandments.

He once invented the wooden ox, the flying horse, the Kongming lantern and so on, and transformed the crossbow, called Zhuge Lian crossbow, which can hit all targets with one crossbow.

In the twelfth year (234), Yu Jianxing died in Wuzhangyuan (now Qishan, Baoji).

In August 234, Zhuge Liang died in Wuzhangyuan (in Baoji) at the age of 54.

Yang Yi and others led the troops back, and Jiang Wei obeyed Zhuge Liang's will, secretly refused to send out an obituary and slowly withdrew.

Sima Yi led the army to chase after him, only to see the flag of the army flying, and Kong Mingyu sitting in the car, wearing a black scarf.

Sima Yi suspected that Kongming had deceived the enemy, so he quickly got on his horse and retreated, so there was a story of "Zhuge's death scared Zhong Da away".
