Among the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang borrowed the southeast wind to worship the wind and won the victory of Battle of Red Cliffs. What is the scientific basis of Zhuge Liang's sacrifice to the wind?

Scientifically speaking, Kong Ming should be able to predict the weather.

It is unlikely to be accidental, because Zhuge Liang is sure that there will be an east wind that night.

If you insist that he is in charge, you can only say that he has special functions.

Quoting the information from the Distance Education Network of the Middle School Attached to Peking University;

Student A 1: Maybe the time recorded in the history books is wrong. Battle of Red Cliffs happens in summer. Because during the war, diseases and epidemics in Cao barracks were still prevalent, and most of them were prevalent in spring and summer, especially in summer. Therefore, it should be normal to blow the east wind.

Student answer 2: It may be accidental, because in winter, the northwest wind is not absolutely blowing in our country every day.

Student answer 3: Zhuge Liang will observe the celestial phenomena and know in advance that there will be an easterly wind blowing at some time, so he put the decisive battle time on that night.

Teacher's Analysis: There is still debate about the time of Battle of Red Cliffs. For example, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms says that Zhuge Liang sacrificed to the east wind on 1 1 20th of the month. "Reflection" records Battle of Red Cliffs as December; Yin Yungong's article "Battle of Red Cliffs Debate" thinks that Cao Cao's southward expedition is in the hot summer season; In Five Thousand Years Up and Down edited by Hu Feng, people think that Battle of Red Cliffs happened in the dead of winter. In short, the evidence of time is insufficient. It is generally believed that Zhuge Liang knew the astronomical phenomena and knew in advance that there would be an east wind blowing at the party. It is also possible that the east wind blew by accident (personally, it is wrong, because Zhuge Liang is sure that there was an east wind that night)
