Is Zhuge Liang borrowing from the east wind or watching the weather?

Zhuge Liang succeeded in borrowing from the east wind for three main reasons. It can be said that his success must be related to the weather he predicted at that time. You know Zhuge Liang is very clever. He can infer the specific weather in the next few days by combining the external environment at that time. And plan these weather factors into specific military strategies.

1 The reason is that Zhuge Liang predicted the weather according to the Yin-Yang, Five Elements and divination at that time. Zhuge Liang was familiar with the classics at that time, so he really understood the knowledge in Zhouyi. At that time, it was very easy for him to guess the wind and rain with this knowledge. When Zhuge Liang was fighting at that time, it was 10 in the lunar calendar. According to the calculation of Zhouyi, the temperature will rise for several days in 10, and the southeast wind will blow. The second reason is that Zhuge Liang predicted the weather changes according to the activities of small animals. The activities of some animals in nature often contain some philosophies. For example, if earthworms crawl around on the ground, it means it will rain. If dragonflies fly in groups in the sky, it means that the weather is going to change and there is a thunderstorm. At that time, Zhuge Liang speculated that there would be a southeast wind based on the abnormal behavior of frogs in early winter.

The third reason is that Zhuge Liang looks at the astronomical phenomena to predict. Zhuge Liang was very clever at that time. He can predict the recent weather according to the shape and thickness of clouds and the changes of the sun and the moon. At that time, Zhuge Liang found himself in a very dangerous situation in the state of Wu, so he turned a blind eye to the soldiers. Zhuge Liang used certain means to support Lu Su at that time, thus successfully escaping from danger. Later generations speculated that Zhuge Liang was able to borrow the east wind mainly because he had discussed the local climate with local fishermen after he arrived in the Yangtze River. The fisherman told Zhuge Liang that the southeast wind was going to blow soon. You should know that the climate changes frequently in winter. Zhuge Liang's wisdom accurately realized that these changes in winter climate would affect the war situation, so he won the war.
