Zhuge Liang (181-23410-8), born in Langya, Wolong (now yinan county, Linyi City, Shandong Province), was the prime minister of Shu and Han during the Three Kingdoms period. Zhuge Liang is called Mr. Wolong by the world. Zhuge Liang went to Jingzhou with his uncle Zhuge Xuan in his early years. After Zhuge Xuan's death, Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in Longzhong.

When Liu Bei was attached to Liu Biao in Jingzhou, he had been to the thatched cottage. Zhuge Liang proposed to Liu Bei to occupy Jingzhou and Yizhou and unite Sun Quan against Cao Cao's Longzhong confrontation. According to Zhuge Liang's strategy, Liu Bei successfully occupied Jingzhou and Yizhou, and formed a tripartite confrontation with Sun Quan and Cao Cao. Zhuge Liang died in Wuzhangyuan (now Qishan, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province) in the 12th year of Jianxing (234) at the age of 54.

The representative works of Zhuge Liang's prose include Liezi and the Book of Commandments. He once invented the wooden ox, the flying horse, the Kongming lantern and so on. And the crossbow was reformed, called Zhuge Lian crossbow, which can hit all targets with one crossbow. Zhuge Liang devoted all his life to his death, and he was the representative of "loyal minister" and "wise man" in China traditional culture.

Zhuge Liang's achievements

Zhuge Liang took advantage of Hanzhong's economic conditions and took a series of effective measures during his stay in Hanzhong, developing production according to local conditions and persuading agriculture, and basically solved the military resources of the Northern Expedition on the spot. After Zhuge Liang's death, the Shu-Han army was losing ground, and Wei Jun also "took a lot of books and grain" in Shu camp.

This just shows the effect of Zhuge Liang's persuasion of agriculture and military reclamation. When the local people live well, they can attract more people, make Hanzhong, a vast and sparsely populated city, develop again, gradually achieve a virtuous circle of more people and more food, and let the people "live and work in peace and contentment".

Water conservancy projects such as "He Shan Dam" built by Zhuge Liang are still the largest irrigation projects in Hanzhong area. According to Li Yizhi's investigation, "Bashangzan City in He Shan has more than 8,000 mu of farmland, Zhengxian County in Guannan has 30,600 mu, and Jiuxian County has 7,000 mu, with * * 46,000 mu." The six famous pools in Hanzhong are still in use today.

According to archaeological survey statistics, since the Han Dynasty, there are still more than 70 ancient weirs in the whole region, and some weirs and canals have been used and maintained for generations, which have been extended to this day. At the same time, on the basis of inheriting and learning the experience of ancient water resources development and utilization, various localities have continuously built a large number of water conservancy facilities such as ponds, reservoirs and ponds. In Mianxian County alone, 37 reservoirs have been built, with a storage capacity of100000 cubic meters. There are more than 300 ponds and ponds; There are more than 50 thousand mu of winter paddy fields.
