I've had trouble with this before, because I had tried to convince others of its factual origin without fact-checking this myself. The real truth is actually just a <strong>mystery<\/strong>. Zhuge Liang's story on this was only in the Romance of Three Kingdoms Novel and not the historical accounts (i.e. \u4e09\u570b\u5fd7). However, there was an account that \u5468\u745c did turn his boats around in order to balance the arrow weight they received from their attackers. If it was solely Zhou Yu's plan, then the credit obviously does not go to Kong Ming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How a Teen Dropout Became China\u2019s Luke Skywalker\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_70EH0hQFUI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8\/13\/2025 Wednesday<\/strong> <strong>The origin of GIT<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/linus-torvalds-built-git-in-10-days-and-never-imagined-it-would-last-20-years\/?utm_source=tldrwebdev\">invention of Linus Torvalds<\/a> after dispute with Bitkeeper.
