Located 13 km west of the city of Xiangfan, Longzhong is the home
of Zhuge Liang, the celebrated stateman and strategist of the Three
Kingdoms Period. In folklore he was regarded as a symbol of resource
and wisdom.
Zhuge Liang (181-234) is also known as Kongming. He was born in
Shandong Province and once lived here for ten years. In 207,Liu
Bei made three calls on Zhuge Liang to ask for the strategy for
unifying the whole country. He put forward the strategy of taking
Jingzhou, Yizhou and uniting with the Wu Kingdom in opposition to
the regime of Cao Cao. This is the noted article "Reply at
Longzhong". Zhuge Liang subsequently left Longzhong and began
to assist Liu Bei.
The site of historic interest include the "Three Calls Hall",
the Temple of Zhuge Liang and so on. |
