It is a common saying that Zhuge Liang's three battles were derived from what?

According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang became Liu Bei's strategist and attacked Cao Cao three times in a short time.

Bowangpo was burned for the first time, leaving hundreds of thousands of Cao soldiers under the command of Xia Houdun.

The second time in Xinye, the fire flooded hundreds of thousands of troops of Coss and Cao Hong, almost completely annihilated;

The third burning of Chibi, millions of Cao soldiers were defeated, and only 27 people escaped with Cao Cao. At that time, people called these three fires "Zhuge Liang took office with three fires." Later, it became what people often say, "new officials take office with three fires."

Extended data:

Related to the "three fires" are: people have three fires, which is a superstitious and unscientific traditional saying, which comes from ghost novels.

First, the fire on the head:

As the saying goes, three feet high and one foot high is helped by God, and this fire also symbolizes the protection of the gods. Evil things are not protected by gods, so they usually don't wear hats when they go out at night, which will suppress the fire. The older generation said that if you are afraid, scratch your scalp a few times, and the fire will be even bigger.

Second, the fire on the right shoulder.

This fire is called nameless fire, and the nameless fire on the right shoulder illuminates the whole right body. There is no turning back if you walk at night. Some people say that if you don't turn around at once, you will put out the nameless fire on your shoulders.

Third, the fire on the left shoulder.

Symmetrical with the nameless fire on the right shoulder, it illuminates the left body, and the torch on the right shoulder on the head will illuminate the whole body. Some old people also say that this is human yang, and people suffering from hysteria are generally too weak yang. Because people are frightened, their heart is weak and their yang is fluctuating, which is easy to attract evil spirits.
