Birth of Zhuge Liang

181 AD

Zhuge Liang was born in Yangdu County, Langye Commandery (present-day Yinan County, Shandong). His early life was marked by hardship. His mother died when he was young, and his father, Zhuge Gui, a minor official, died when he was eight. This left Zhuge Liang and his siblings to be raised by relatives, shaping his independent character and resourcefulness.

Relocation to Xiangyang and Seclusion

197 AD

Following the death of his uncle, Zhuge Xuan, who had been looking after the siblings, Zhuge Liang and his brother Zhuge Jun relocated to Xiangyang (in present-day Hubei). He chose to live a secluded life, farming and studying, dedicating himself to scholarship and strategic thought. This period is legendary for the development of his strategic acumen. He became known for comparing himself to historical figures like Guan Zhong and Yue Yi.
