Reflections on Liu Xuande’s Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage

Reflections after reading "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" - Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage

"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a well-known masterpiece. The characters in it are vividly described, the content of the story is very exciting, and the plot is gripping. What impressed me deeply was the story of Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage.

It is said that Liu Bei was in trouble because he did not have a good military. He heard that Zhuge Liang was a capable man who knew astronomy, geography, and human affairs, so he took Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to invite Zhuge Liang to come out. Assist yourself. As a result, we didn't see him the first time; the second time he went there in the heavy snow despite Zhang and Guan's obstruction, but he still didn't see him; the third time he didn't see him until Zhuge Liang woke up.

This shows that Liu Bei sincerely invited Zhuge Liang to come out to assist him in completing the great cause of unifying the country. Moreover, it was still snowing heavily for the second time, and Zhang Fei stopped him and said, "The army is fighting now, and it will stop at this time." The third time Guan Yu and others saw that Liu Bei was going to visit Zhuge Liang again, and angrily claimed that they would use a Zhuge Liang was tied up with hemp ropes, and Liu Bei scolded them severely, which showed that Liu Bei treated others with sincerity.

I admire Liu Bei’s emphasis on treating others with sincerity and kindness. In order to be able to unify the great cause of the country, Liu Bei condescended to seek talents, treated the corporals courteously, was not afraid of bumping into nails, was not afraid of long journeys, and ignored the bad weather. His spirit is worth learning from us.

There are also such examples in life. People who understand etiquette will definitely achieve success. You must be polite when encountering problems and not be reckless; you must be perseverant when encountering difficulties and not give up easily.
