ZHUGE Liang (諸葛亮, 181–234)

ZHUGE Liang (諸葛亮, 181–234)

Zhuge Liang (181–234),[1] style name Kongming, was a chancellor of the state of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. He is popularly recognised as the greatest and most accomplished strategist of his era.[2]

Often depicted wearing a robe and holding a hand fan made of crane feathers,[3] Zhuge Liang was not only an important military strategist and statesman; he was also an accomplished scholar and inventor. His reputation as an intelligent and learned scholar grew even while he was living in relative seclusion, earning him the nickname "Wolong" (literally: "Crouching Dragon").

Zhuge is an uncommon two-character Chinese compound family name. His name – even his surname alone – has become synonymous with intelligence and strategy in Chinese culture.
