Where is the real Zhuge Maolu?

Zhuge Maolu 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.

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 grass reed pavilion next to the tomb to express their admiration and nostalgia for the sage Kong Ming.

The story of three visits to Mao Lu has been passed down through the ages. Now Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage is not a thatched cottage, but a small wooden pavilion. According to the staff of the scenic spot, Zhuge Liang has always been highly respected, and Zhuge Liang Caotang has also received special care and maintenance.
