The marriage between Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying is certainly a well-known story in ancient Chinese literature, but in literary works, Zhuge Liang's resourcefulness and Huang Yueying's talent are often emphasized, and her appearance is not too involved. However, if we want to find the reasons behind marriage from historical and literary descriptions, we might as well take a look at the possible factors.
First of all, Zhuge Liang's pursuit of talent may go beyond the importance of appearance. As an outstanding strategist during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang became the focus of the world's attention with his outstanding wisdom and excellent strategy. In his eyes, perhaps Huang Yueying's scorching talent is more important than her flaws in appearance. In Huang Yueying, he saw the possibility of complementing each other and writing a brilliant chapter together.
Second, historical and literary works often portray Zhuge Liang as an image with noble sentiments and profound humanistic feelings. He may have focused more on inner virtues and qualities than on outward flamboyance. In ancient times, in addition to considering whether the personalities of the two individuals are compatible, the decision of marriage pays more attention to the honor of the family and the inheritance of children and grandchildren. Therefore, Zhuge Liang may pay more attention to whether Huang Yueying has the quality to inherit excellent genes for his family and heirs.
In addition, Zhuge Liang may also have taken a fancy to Huang Yueying's family background. In ancient societies, family prestige and family background were often closely related to marital relationships. Huang Yueying, as Huang Cheng's son, has a prominent family background, and may also have a place in Zhuge Liang's marriage considerations. Through such a marriage, Zhuge Liang may have consolidated his social position in Shu Han and better served the country and the people.
Finally, Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying's marriage may also be a continuation of traditional virtues. In ancient times, marriage was not only the marriage of two individuals, but also the inheritance of family, national and social values. Zhuge Liang became a great man for a generation with his outstanding talent and profound wisdom, and his choice of marriage may also represent a reverence for traditional virtues, that is, both talent and virtue, both internal and external.
Based on the above factors, Zhuge Liang chose to marry Huang Yueying, in addition to valuing her talent, he may also take into account the continuation of the family's prestige, quality and traditional values. This marriage is not only a marriage between two people, but also a good story that has been passed down through the ages in the long history, expressing profound cultural connotations and human feelings.
