Was Zhuge Liang deified in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

Deification is inevitable. The creation of The Romance of The Three Kingdoms itself is a seven-point vacation. Most of the characters and events in Romance cannot be used for historical research.

Compared with whether Zhuge Liang is deified, it depends not only on whether we think so, but also on whether Zhuge Liang in the annals of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is deified.

It is believed that the reason why Zhuge Liang was deified lies in the plot that Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind and the grass boat borrowed the arrow in the Romance.

In A Brief History of China's Novels, Mr. Lu Xun "seems that Zhuge Liang's wisdom is close to a demon". The so-called demon, not a monster, but a demon. Demon people in the Republic of China refer to those deceitful fortune tellers, not those who know witchcraft. It can be seen that Zhuge Liang was distorted rather than exaggerated in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms!

Morality is always the morality of class. Feudal morality certainly serves the landlord class and exists to consolidate the feudal economic foundation. Like feudal political laws, it is the superstructure of feudal foundation. Before a society has a new economic foundation, it can only compare the existing superstructure and judge which one is better and which one is worse. That is to say, if the politics and laws implemented by some feudal rulers do little harm to the working people, those politics and laws are commendable because they are better or much better than chaotic politics and lewd punishment.

What we should do is not to deify Zhuge Liang and treat him as a normal person. Obviously, Zhuge Liang's contribution is outstanding and outstanding.
