大梁 / Daliang
大梁 / Daliang appears in 《资治通鉴·周纪》16丨孙膑庞涓恩怨纠葛 桂陵之战 as the 魏国 place 孙膑 says 齐国 should attack instead of rushing directly to 赵国. The episode treats it as the point Wei must save while its army is away besieging 邯郸.
The page is source-scoped. Daliang matters here because it makes 围魏救赵 concrete: the strategic target is not the place where the ally is suffering, but the place whose danger forces the attacker to abandon that pressure.
《资治通鉴·周纪》19丨马陵之战 reuses Daliang in the 马陵之战 setup. This time the ally under pressure is 韩国, but the logic is similar: Qi’s army points at Wei’s capital area so 庞涓 must leave the Han front and return.
《资治通鉴·周纪》23丨魏惠王 悔不用公叔之言 gives Daliang a different role: after Qin’s victory and the Hexi cession, 魏惠王 moves there from 安邑. The episode links the move to Wei’s western vulnerability under 秦国东进压力.
《资治通鉴·周纪》73丨历史上自由恋爱的开创者是谁？ makes Daliang a threatened endpoint again. After Qin takes 安城, its army advances toward Daliang before withdrawing, so the city marks the seriousness of Qin’s renewed pressure on 魏国 after the anti-Qi coalition settlement.
《资治通鉴·周纪》82丨大秦的核武器：白起来了！ uses Daliang mainly for geographic clarification. The episode says the “Kaifeng” entered by the defeated Han relief commander is not today’s Kaifeng but an older Qifeng county, while today’s Kaifeng was then Daliang, the Wei capital. This reinforces Daliang’s role as the capital-space reference point for 魏国 under Qin pressure.
《资治通鉴·周纪》90丨揭秘先秦最完美的复仇 makes Daliang the threatened object in 范雎’s revenge demand. After humiliating 须贾, Fan Ju tells him to have 魏国 send 魏齐’s head; otherwise Qin will attack Daliang. The city therefore becomes the pressure point where personal revenge is backed by state-level military threat.
《资治通鉴·周纪》96丨毛遂自荐（5） adds a city-social scene inside Daliang. 侯嬴 is introduced as a poor elderly keeper of Yi Gate, whose approximate location the episode places near today’s Kaifeng Iron Pagoda area. Xinlingjun’s carriage then moves from the gate to the market, where Hou Ying deliberately delays with the butcher 朱亥, making Daliang the public stage for Xinlingjun’s humility test.
《资治通鉴·秦纪》103-1｜司马迁看中的信陵君算是小人吗？ returns Daliang to the threat map after 信陵君 defeats 蒙敖. The episode says Qin-held 荥泽 and nearby 荥阳 make the capital vulnerable to water-control pressure, so taking 管城 is not optional symbolism but part of reducing the capital’s exposure.
《资治通鉴·秦纪》104｜阴谋失算让秦国版图又又又膨胀了 keeps Daliang in the late-Wei pressure field. Qin’s 245 BCE attack on Juancheng is described as close enough to 魏国’s capital to show the danger of leaving 信陵君 unused, while 赵国 attacks Wei’s Fanyang instead of providing meaningful anti-Qin relief.
《资治通鉴·秦纪》117-1｜啪啪打脸！历史上“爽文”的开山鼻祖 gives Daliang its endpoint in the Qinji branch. 王贲 attacks the city by diverting Yellow River water through the surrounding water network. After three months the wall is breached or ruined enough that 魏王假 surrenders, turning the earlier warnings about Daliang’s water-control vulnerability into 水攻围城 and the destruction of 魏国.
