Chu-ko Liang (181-234) has been renowned as a "perfect man" in Chinese history. He was not only eminent in struggling hard for recovering the Han Dynasty through out his whole life, but also venerable in putting up a paradigm of respectable man with characteristics of talents in regime founding, etiquette in serving emperors, manners in social relations, arts in governing people, virtue in public obligation, spirit in exhausting energy for public service, and so on. Chu-ko Liang was born in the time of chaos when the Latter Han was facing the conditions of anarchy. He became an orphan at the age of eight. Rearing by his uncle, he often moved from one place to another during his early years. Damages, calamities, droughts, locust pests, inflations almost everywhere in the empire were the consequence of incessant wars and social disorder. Such a misery environment that the young man lived and suffered had no doubt cast deep influences on his personalities and moral principles afterwards. To young Chu-ko, pragmatic learning was placed before philological study of Confucian classics, and ancient statesmen who combined literary and military talents were nothing but his ideal model. Traditional Chinese scholar-officials who emphasized the importance of pragmatic state affairs always treated a true Confucian with contempt. But, Chu-ko Liang was an exception. Although the art of intrigue and expedients introduced by ancient Legalists had been used in his administering, Chu-ko was never a man lost the sincere ideal or "way" of a true Confucian. In order to making a better interpretation of this, we must trace the origins of his thought and personality that were nonetheless correlated with the social relationship before he helped Liu Pei to establish a new regime-Shu Han. The present article is therefore set its main issues on investigating the complicate social networks of Chu-ko Liang when he stayed at Lung-chung for more than a decade (197-207). He had developed closer, relations with great powerful families around mid-Yangtze area than Liu Pei who also dwelled, in Ching-chou at the same period. Chu-ko Liang was highly esteemed in his talents and wisdom at the time. So he could make free choice on selecting a master whoever he liked. He could either choose an office from the neighboring Regional Governor of Ching-chou, Liu Piao, through personal connections, or serve the powerful General Ts'ao Ts'ao if he was willing to compete with others in North China where the Han dynasty’s legitimacy was claimed. However, Chu-ko Liang would like to wait placidly for a real "Brilliant Master" rather than accept hastily a post that could not enforce his ideal, righteousness and morality. He knew, of course, that there was only little chance of renaissance for the great Han Dynasty But he insisted in choosing a difficult "way" to fulfill his ideal. It was a "way" something like scattering thorns difficult to plough. Yet, it was a "way" that he ought to go.
