The folklore Jiang Taigong fishing is such a historical legend. Jiang Ziya has no place to display his talents. He thinks that under the rule of King Wen, the people are not happy, which obviously proves his fatuity, so he wants to help King Wen overthrow the rule. But King Wen doesn't know Jiang Taigong. How can he reuse himself for King Wen? First of all, let King Wen notice himself!
So Jiang Taigong inquired carefully about King Wen's route and itinerary, calculated the time and place, and prepared fishing tools in advance to fish at a fixed place. Fishing requires not only fishing tackle, but also bait to lure the fish.
But if Jiang Taigong, who is extremely clever, fishes like ordinary people, how can he be liked by King Wen for fishing?
So Jiang Taigong prepared a hook different from the general hook-straight hook; And don't put bait when fishing. Nevertheless, Jiang Taigong caught a lot of fish.
Jiang Taigong fished with a straight hook instead of bait, and caught a lot of fish. King Wen was very surprised to see this spectacle on the way (who wouldn't be surprised to see such a counterintuitive thing? ), so I got off the bus and took the initiative to go to the fishing side of Jiang Taigong, hoping to chat with him and solve my doubts.
They talked happily. King Wen thought Jiang Ziya was a great folk figure and a useful talent, so he recruited him into his family.
The allusion of "Jiang Taigong fishing" is only a version of Jiang Ziya's story widely circulated among the people in history.
The realistic guess is that there is such a legendary figure in history, who helped Zhou Wenwang destroy the business and assisted Zhou Wuwang to create Qi. Even in strict written records, there are very detailed records of Jiang Taigong's birth, and there are several different versions.
But among the three statements recorded in Historical Records, the common point is that Jiang Ziya was poor and difficult before he met King Wen.
The summary of Jiang Ziya's life in Warring States Policy is that he was a son-in-law who was rejected by his elderly wife and was driven out of the house, a talented butcher who was driven out of the house, and finally a small official who was exiled by the court.
These historical records and widely circulated folklore prove that Jiang Taigong is actually a "late bloomer". Before he was 70 years old, it can be said that he had never succeeded in any field. However, it's just that "gold always shines" and "a maxima also needs to meet Bole to become a maxima".
It was when Zhou Wenwang was the "Bole" that Jiang Ziya's life began to "plug in the electricity" and soared.
It's like a legendary bird named Phoenix, which lives in a buttonwood tree. It doesn't fly or sing for three years, but as soon as it flies, it goes straight into the sky, and as long as it sings, it will disturb heaven and man.
However, these are too legendary. Under the ancient feudal system, officials were basically children of official families.
Moreover, 70 years old was an old man in ancient times. At this age of seventy, Jiang Ziya, who was abandoned by his elderly wife and had no family background, became a butcher. With his own talent, he jumped to the top to assist the king and rank as the prime minister?
Aside from the legendary story after the ideal condition, we have to explore the true identity of Jiang Ziya.
Jiang Ziya is called "Jiang Taigong" by the world. If the legendary man who fished with a straight hook without bait was an ordinary person, instead of the well-known "Jiang Taigong" at that time, would Zhou Wenwang treat the fisherman's bizarre behavior differently? I don't think so. Even under certain conditions, this person may be regarded as a fool. Not to mention the follow-up talk and advice and planning!
So there are indications that Jiang Ziya's identity is definitely not just as ordinary as recorded.
Jiang Ziya's identity in some other historical databases is not consistent with the legendary Jiang Ziya.
"Brave Sword" in Sun Tzu's Art of War: In the past, the prosperity of Shang Dynasty was due to the state's heavy use of Yi Yin, and the Zhou Dynasty also used the right talent-Jiang Ziya.
This means that Jiang Ziya is a rare talent, and it is impossible to rise like that without reusing other countries.
It is these differences from reality that made a famous historian assume that the legendary sayings such as "Fishing Theory" and "Chu Shi Theory" were all based on the limitations and influences of the thoughts of that era. Jiang Ziya in real history is by no means so poor as the legend.
The realistic conjecture was confirmed by an accidental cultural relic investigation. Some experts accidentally discovered "the first brick in China"-the hollow brick in the Western Zhou Dynasty in Qishan County, Baoji, Shaanxi Province. This hollow brick attracted the attention of relevant experts, so the key archaeological work of Kongtougou site was carried out.
For the in-depth excavation of the Kongtougou site, the relevant staff gained a lot, and once again discovered the living quarters, working areas and many tombs of the ancients. What is exciting is that two of them have the same scale system as the tombs of royal officials. After repeated investigation and confirmation, experts have come to the conclusion that this website is Jiang Taigong's family tomb, Jiang Ziya!
The family tomb of Kongtougou site existed much earlier than Jiang Ziya's blockbuster was reused by Zhou Wenwang. This means that as early as Shang Dynasty, Jiang Ziya family had lived as a powerful family group within the jurisdiction of Zhou State.
This kind of cognition is actually well-founded, which coincides with the theory of the origin of Jiang surname in Longxi, Gansu Province. History is full of traces, and as long as we explore it carefully, we can find countless connections in it.
Jiang Ziya comes from a big family background, which is enough to understand why Jiang Ziya has such insight and foresight. This family background is enough to explain the root cause of Jiang Ziya's rich experience and keen perception of changes in the country's situation, and it is also one of the key reasons why he later became a prime minister.
As for the incident of "Jiang Taigong slaughtering cattle", it also had a certain purpose at that time. Most people don't understand, so here's the rumor.
Jiang Ziya's talent and strategy are beyond doubt. Without his help and advice, Zhou Wenwang could not have perished the Shang Dynasty alone. Such foresight and political ability are influenced by many factors such as the accumulation of long-term social experience, sincere concern for the people and rich experience.
Aside from all kinds of legends planted in the history of Jiang Ziya, Jiang Ziya is just an ordinary man, not a magnificent fairy in the legend.
