Lady Huang

In tales, Lady Huang was, however, remarkable for her erudition, being learned in strategy, geography, astronomy, and divination.

"[2] A story tells that Huang Yueying challenged her suitors to visit her personally by claiming that she was ugly.

[citation needed] Folktales ascribe to her the creation of not only Zhuge Liang's wooden ox and flowing horse but fantastic inventions, including cooking robots.

Lady Huang did not long survive her husband, who died in 234 A.D. On her deathbed, she instructed her son Zhuge Zhan to "be loyal and filial."

A memorial for her exists in her supposed hometown of Huangjiawan (黄家湾) in Yao'an Village (姚庵村) outside Xiangyang.
