Zhuge Liang

Chinese statesman and strategist (181–234)

Zhuge Liang (23 July 181 AD – 8 October 234 AD), courtesy name Kongming, was a Chinese statesman and strategist who lived through the collapse of the Eastern Han dynasty and became the principal architect of the Shu Han state. He served as chancellor under its founding emperor Liu Bei from 221 and as regent to the young emperor Liu Shan after 223 until his death. Orphaned early, Zhuge Liang followed his uncle to Jing Province and later lived in seclusion at Longzhong, where his intellect and ambitions earned him the sobriquet "Sleeping Dragon".
