"The History of the Three Kingdoms" commented on Liu Bei: "My ancestors were generous, knowing people and treating scholars, with the style of high ancestors and heroic tools." And the whole country entrusted to Zhuge Liang, but the mind is unique, sincere monarch, minister and saint, the trace of ancient and modern prosperity is also. If you don't catch Wei Wu, you will be a chivalrous man, but you will never look down upon him. If you slap him, you will not tolerate yourself, not only for the benefit, but also to avoid hurting the cloud. "He can take a large number of outstanding political and military talents for his own use. The most typical example is Zhuge Liang. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei's last words were Zhuge Liang: "Your talent is only ten times that of Cao Pi, you will certainly bring peace and stability to the country, and you will eventually achieve great things. If the heir can make up, he will make up; If he is incompetent, you can be the master of Chengdu. "However, when Zhuge Liang was in power, he never forgot to complete Liu Bei's legacy. Finally, in the Northern Expedition, he "died with all his might". "Liu Bei's political character is the embodiment of China's traditional political concept.

It is this basic political concept of "serving people with talent and virtue" that has shaped Liu Bei's respected political character and achieved Liu Bei's lifelong hegemony.
