1. Zhuge Liang burned Bowangpo: In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang's first battle was to burn Bowangpo, which was endowed with a high degree of significance. In **, the burning of Bowangpo became Zhuge Liang's first achievement, proving his military talent and resourcefulness, and also establishing his supreme position in Liu Bei's group. However, there is no corresponding incident in history to burn Bowangpo. In fact, the burning of Bowangpo was not the credit of Zhuge Liang, but the command decision of Liu Bei himself. According to the records of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Shu, and the Biography of the Ancestors, Liu Bei set up an ambush in Bowang County and burned the camp, inducing Xiahoudun to send troops to pursue him, and finally won the victory under the ambush. This real historical event did not involve Zhuge Liang's participation, but "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" deliberately arranged the credit on his head in order to highlight Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness. This story shows the image of Zhuge Liang as extremely intelligent and resourceful, and has won him the admiration and trust of everyone.
2. The fiction of "burning Xinye": In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", shortly after the burning of Bowangpo, Zhuge Liang led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to "burn Xinye". This move further strengthened Zhuge Liang's position in Liu Bei's group, and no one dared to question his ability and resourcefulness anymore. However, there is no record of the burning of Shinno in history. Neither the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", nor the "Book of the Later Han" nor the "Zizhi Tongjian" mention this story. It can be seen that the burning of Xinye is a fictional event in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Luo Guanzhong may have been influenced by the Yuan miscellaneous drama "Zhuge Liang Bowang Burning Tun" in his creation, and arranged the Bowangpo and Xinye events in the story on Zhuge Liang's body respectively, creating this richer storyline. In the story, Zhuge Liang successfully defeated the enemy army by means of fire attack, water attack and interference route, and also showed his resourcefulness and ability to anticipate things like a god.
3. The fiction of "burning the upper valley": At the end of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhuge Liang devised a strategy of "burning the upper valley" in an attempt to lure Sima Yi's father and son into danger. However, this story is also pure fiction, and there is no record of a similar incident in history. Whether it is "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" or "Zizhi Tongjian", there is no mention of Zhuge Liang's burning of the upper valley. The purpose of this story is to highlight Zhuge Liang's resourceful side, but it also has a certain tragic color. In the story, Zhuge Liang once reveled in his own schemes, but was defeated by a sudden heavy rain. This story conveys a kind of helplessness and sadness, no matter how resourceful Zhuge Liang is, he can't change the irresistible force in his fate after all.
4. Reflection and summary: As one of the four famous Chinese novels, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a classic of Chinese culture, which not only has a strong story and narrative, but also deeply portrays the image of historical figures and creates a series of heroic images that are deeply loved by people. However, although "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is based on history, it is created in the form of **, and there must be a certain degree of fiction and artistic processing. These include a number of fictional events and the exploits of the characters, Zhuge Liang's Burning of Bowangpo, Burning of Xinye, and Burning of the Upper Valley are among them.
Although these fictional stories have not happened in real history, they have given people a strong shock and imagination, and have also shaped the image of the character of Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Although these fictitious exploits may have deviated from the historical Zhuge Liang, they have made Zhuge Liang an iconic figure of a wise man in Chinese culture, admired for his ingenuity and ingenuity.
Therefore, although Zhuge Liang's burning of Bowangpo, the burning of Xinye, and the burning of the upper valley are fictional, their arrangement in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms still makes people recognize and appreciate Zhuge Liang's ability and wisdom, and creates a heroic image for him. This is also the charm of literary works, through the creation of stories and images, it brings readers unlimited imagination and feelings, and has become a classic in history and culture.
