Zhuge Liang and Wei Zi's chart

We all know that ancient times were not as developed as science and technology, and there was no weather forecast in ancient times. In the TV series, we also saw that the imperial court also set up officials to watch the stars. They all predict the weather through the astronomical phenomena and the development of the country. So the ancients had a lot of research on astrology and developed a set of theories. In ancient times, all the stars in the sky corresponded to people on the earth. For example, Purple Star and Purple Star were noble imperial stars in the eyes of the ancients, which implicated the fate of the emperor.

With Pang Tong's warning, Zhuge Liang paid more attention to the study of astrology, and the seven-star lamp was one of the research results. But in addition to the continuation of the seven-star lamp, he also has a closet stunt, which is the continuation of the general star. When a person's body dies, his spirit will die, and the stars in the sky are the reflection of his spirit. If Zhuge Liang dies, the star that represents him will also go out. Sima Yi only knows a little about astrology. If he finds out that Zhuge Liang has lost the star, he will definitely lead an army to fight back. Therefore, Zhuge Liang has seven meters in his mouth, just to make his famous players use them for a long time. This is also called feeding a star.

We often say that Zhuge Liang knows astronomy above and geography below, so his study of astronomical phenomena is naturally deep. He and his opponent Sima Yi often watch the stars at night and predict the fate of both sides. During the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang discovered that his time was coming through stargazing, and Sima Yi naturally discovered it, so he had been waiting for Zhuge Liang's death. Ancient people often had jade in their mouths after death, but why did Zhuge Liang let the rice go? Because this is related to the ancient funeral etiquette, the rule at that time was that the scholar-bureaucrat died with rice in his mouth, so it was also in line with the rules for Zhuge Liang to die with rice in his mouth.

Zhuge Liang wanted to continue his life through bright lights, but Wei Yan inadvertently destroyed the battle, which was finally irreparable. Although Zhuge Liang was helpless, he knew it was God's will, and he was powerless to resist, so he had to take the time to arrange his own affairs. At that time, the Shu army was still fighting Wei Jun. In order not to disturb the morale of the army, he asked Yang Yi to temporarily conceal the news of his death, put himself in a big cupboard, sat down by himself, then put seven grains of rice in his mouth and another lamp at his feet. As for why is it seven? Because there is an ancient saying that the soul will come back once seven days after death, which is also called the first seven, so loading seven grains of rice can keep his general star alive for a while and make the enemy think that he is not dead.
