Where is San Gu Mao Lu?

The location of the three visits to the thatched cottage was in Longzhong, Deng County, Nanyang County, which is now Longzhong, Xiangyang, Hubei Province.

"ZhuGeLiangChuan" clearly wrote that "Zhuge Liang's word is Kongming, and Langya is also a human being. Zhuge Feng, a captain transferred from the Han Dynasty, is also a queen. The father is expensive, the word, and the late Han Dynasty was very kind to people. Liang was lonely in his early years, and he was declared the prefect of Yuan Shu Department from his father. Xuan Jiang and Liang's brother were both officers. In the Han Dynasty, Zhu Hao was chosen as Xuanzong. Su Xuan and Jingzhou Liu Mu are both old, so we should follow their example. Xuanzu, smart and diligent, is good at Fu Liangyin.

This is a classic story recorded in the history of the Three Kingdoms. At that time, Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion in a hut in Longzhong Dui, and Liu Bei took pains to invite Zhuge Liang out of the mountain three times. Longzhong Dui was the content of their mutual communication. Liu Bei hopes Zhuge Liang can help the country. Now it is often used to express sincerity and repeatedly invite and visit sages with expertise.

There are two controversial places about visiting the thatched cottage, Nanyang and Xiangyang. In fact, in history, the place where Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain was Longzhong in Nanyang County, but now it is also Longzhong in Xiangyang, so both places are right.

This story tells that Liu Bei took two generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, to see Zhuge Caolu. On the first two occasions, Zhuge Liang refused Liu Bei's invitation. The third time, Zhuge Liang was moved by Liu Bei's persistence and sincerity, and thought that Liu Bei was indeed a good leader, so Zhuge Liang left the cottage to assist Liu Bei.
