“卧龙”与“卧龙岗”考——兼及诸葛亮躬耕南阳

MAKING TEXTUAL CRITICISMS AND EXPLANATIONS ON WOLONG AND WOLONG HILL——AND ZHUGE LIANG DID FARMING IN NANYANG

诸葛亮在南阳躬耕时,由于受当时儒家阴阳五行和风水理论的影响,时人以其所居高岗的地形大势称其为"卧龙"。随着诸葛亮的形象被不断推崇和神化,地以人名,元代以后,人们便把当年诸葛亮躬耕之地,称为"卧龙岗",卧龙岗便成为千秋名胜地从此名扬天下。由此可知,诸葛亮躬耕之地与卧龙岗息息相关,诸葛亮当年的躬耕之地即是南阳卧龙岗。

When Zhuge Liang farmed in Nanyang,because of the influence of the yin-yang and five elements of Confucianism and geomantic theories,the people then called him Sleeping Dragon according to the landform of the hill where he lived. With the image of constant praise highly and apotheosis of Zhuge Liang,the place was famous because of Zhuge Liang. After the Yuan Dynasty,the people named the place where Zhuge Liang farmed Wolong Hill,so the Wolong Hill became the famous scenic spot and gained world renown. Therefore we know,the place where Zhuge Liang did farming has related to the Wolong Hill,so the site where Zhuge Liang farmed in person is the Wolong Hill in Nanyang.
