[quote=YVONNE,237094]Receltly, a strange phenomenon has come into our sight. Those elite in Chinese cultural circles begin to ctriticize the historical figures. A scholar named Li Ling said that Confucius was not as great as we imagined. He was an outcast. He traveled around six countries to persuade the rulers adopt his ideas of ruling a country. However, none of them adopted his idea.

Another scholar named Hu Juezhao suggested that Zhugeliang who was an excellent politician, thinker and strategist in the period of the Three Kingdoms was too silly. In his article 出师表, it shows his stupid loyalty to Shu country. This article should be removed from the Chinese textbooks for those students in Junior school. Other scholars even said that Zhuge Liang once intended to seize the throne.

What they have found is far away to our understandings. In our mind, Zhuge Liang is the symbol of wisdom. That is how we, the grassroots understand him. However, it is surprised that he was silly and once intended to seize the throne.

Of course, history is history. For us, the grassroots, we hardly know exactly the true features of a person or an event.  However, I wanna know that what those scholars intend to do. If it is out of academic reasearch purposes, that is ok. Some of them may not think so. They just want to be known to everyone as those super girls. If so, that is too sad.[/quote]
