Today I will tell you an interesting celebrity anecdote, Zhuge Liang's wife What is Huang Yueying's appearance? Is it true as the novel says that he is an "ugly woman"?

First of all, the name of Zhuge Liang's wife Huang is not recorded in the official history. The two words "html January Ying " were fabricated by later generations (maybe for the Ming and Qing Dynasties). However, Zhuge Liang's father-in-law named Huang Chengyan is a historical fact. Huang's family is a local senior gentry in Jingzhou . Zhuge Liang and Huang also have the purpose of marrying each other through marriage. Before this, Zhuge Liang's two sisters also married the Kuai family and the Pang family (the clan of Pang Tong ), which were essentially a marriage between the gentry.
" Three Kingdoms " describes Zhuge Liang's appearance as "eight feet long and very great". Teacher Yi Zhongtian called Zhuge Liang a handsome guy in the lecture. In fact, "very great" can be explained as being upright in facial features and a stout figure - Zhuge Liang was eight feet long, and one foot of Han Dynasty was 23.3 cm, eight feet were about 1.86 meters. Therefore, Zhuge Liang is a tall, upright and strong man, so there should be no objection.

Back to today's question, why did Zhuge Liang's wife Huang be called an ugly woman in the legend? This remark comes from " Xiangyang Ji ", and the general excerpt is as follows: Huang Chengyan (Zhuge Liang's father-in-law) said to Kong Ming : I heard that you chose a wife, and you have an ugly woman, yellow and black, and your talent is worthy of it. Kong Ming agreed. This is the source of later generations' ugly appearance in Huang's women. Some people may say that maybe Huang Chengyan is humble. In fact, there is still a second half of this story. "People at that time thought they were laughing and the village said, "Don't be Kong Ming's choice of a wife, you're the ugly woman of A Cheng!" This is a matter of fact.
Of course, it is a very inferior behavior to measure women by appearance. People in feudal society cannot get rid of the bad habit of materializing women. For us in the new era, we cannot imitate them at all.
Two other anecdotes:
1) Zhuge Liang's two sisters and Zhuge Liang himself seemed to have little effect in marriage with the local gentry of Jingzhou, and Zhuge Liang's own status in Jingzhou was not very high, otherwise he had already held a high position in Jingzhou, and he did not have to wait at home for Liu Bei three visits to the cottage.
2) Zhuge Liang's brother Zhuge Jin works in Dongwu . Historical records show that his face is long and he was laughed as a "donkey face" by people at that time. It also proves from another perspective that Zhuge Liang himself is not a handsome guy (never a young man in the modern sense), but a tall and solemn man.
