宋元之前，民间百姓和知识分子对于诸葛亮形象的神化有着不同的路径。民间百姓源于对诸葛亮的怀念而在其故事中添加了宗教神秘元素，使其人逐渐脱离史传中的形象，而具有了神异之色彩；知识分子因为尊崇诸葛亮而乐于从智谋和精神层面赞颂诸葛亮，使得诸葛亮的身份地位被不断抬高，甚至上升到“神”的地位被加以供奉。发展到宋元时期，经济的发展促进了各阶层间文化的融合。一方面，有关诸葛亮的传说故事继续在民间流传，其影响范围不断扩大；另一方面，出于生计和市场的需要，知识分子在文艺创作的选材上更加关注民间百姓的喜好，行文手法也更生活化。这些使得包括三国故事在内的很多故事在宋元的文学创作中有了新的发展，诸葛亮的神化形象在此过程中自然也与以前有所不同，这在《三国志平话》和涉及诸葛亮形象的元杂剧三国戏中表现最为明显。

Before the song and Yuan Dynasties, the folk people and intellectuals had different paths for the deification of Zhuge Liang's image. The folk people added religious and mysterious elements to Zhuge Liang's story from the memory of Zhuge Liang, which gradually separated him from the image in the historical biography and gave him a supernatural color; Intellectuals are willing to praise Zhuge Liang from the level of wisdom and spirit because they respect Zhuge Liang, so that Zhuge Liang's status has been continuously raised, and even rose to the status of "God" and worshipped. In the song and Yuan Dynasties, economic development promoted the cultural integration among all levels. On the one hand, the legends about Zhuge Liang continued to spread among the people, and its scope of influence continued to expand; On the other hand, out of the needs of livelihood and market, intellectuals pay more attention to the preferences of the people in the selection of literary and artistic creation, and their writing techniques are more life-oriented. These made many stories, including the stories of the Three Kingdoms, have new development in the literary creation of the song and Yuan Dynasties. The deified image of Zhuge Liang is naturally different from before in this process, which is most obvious in the Pinghua of the annals of the Three Kingdoms and the Three Kingdoms drama of the yuan Dynasty involving the image of Zhuge Liang.
