Brief introduction of Zhuge Cao Lu Pavilion

Zhuge Caoluting is located in Longzhong Scenic Area of Xiangyang, on the back slope of Sangutang on the side of Longzhong Mountain. It is hexagonal, with double cornices and red tiles. A large stone tablet in the pavilion is engraved with the word "grass reed", which is vigorous and dignified. It was built in the original site in the 19th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1540) and rebuilt by Zhao in the early Qing Dynasty. 1 Cao Luting is a symbolic building of the house where Zhuge Liang lived between 17 and 27 years. It is surrounded by mountains and valleys, bamboo forests, pines and cypresses, and the environment is quiet. Zhuge Liang said in the "Former Teacher's Watch": "The first emperor did not treat his ministers with meanness, but wronged himself with accusations. He took care of his ministers in the cottage and consulted his ministers on contemporary affairs. " This is the room. This was originally the reading room where Zhuge Liang lived in seclusion. Zhu Jianshu, the king of bamboo slips in the Ming Dynasty, is superstitious about geomantic omen and intends to use this monument as his tomb. After the Li Zicheng Uprising, the mausoleum buildings were destroyed, but the earth graves were still there. Later generations built this thatched cottage pavilion next to the tomb to express their admiration and nostalgia for the sage Kong Ming.
