Appreciation of allusions of King Wen pulling carts.
"King Wen pulled a rickshaw for 800 steps, and the Zhou Dynasty lasted for 800 years" means that Xibo Hou Jichang was eager to visit Xian after being imprisoned in Yin for three years. I heard that Jiang Shang lived in seclusion by the Weihe River, so he drove to visit. In their conversation, Ji Chang saw that Jiang really knew how to hide his strength and bide his time, so he invited him to assist Zhou Bang. In order to test his sincerity in seeking talents, Jiang Shang asked him to pull a rickshaw for him before allowing him to go on the road. Ji Chang was eager to seek the virtuous, so he pulled a rickshaw for Jiang Shang, so the monarch and his subjects left Weishui together.

King Wen is pulling a rickshaw on the right bank of the West Sea. This is an ingenious group of stones. One stone looks like a rickshaw with a man sitting on it, and the other stone looks like a rickshaw puller. Therefore, people associate it with the story of "King Wen pulling rickshaws" in history and give it the name of this image. Today, people once wrote a poem: "A scholar, Wang Lishi, respects the virtuous, and wins the week for 800 years. I sat halfway up the mountain watching the scenery. I picked up the car for you myself. "

The origin of the story is Jiang Taigong's straight hook fishing. It is said that "Jiang Taigong fishes, who wants to take the bait". It is said that in order to attract the attention of Xibohou, Jiang Taigong took an iron needle without bait and "fished" three feet above the water every day. One day, it really caught the attention of Xibohou. Xibo Hou Jichang discovered that Jiang Taigong was an extraordinary saint and personally invited Jiang Taigong as his military adviser. And Jiang Ziya wants Ji Chang to pull the rickshaw himself, so he will come to the door.

Hou Jichang, a Xibe nationality, was eager for talents, so he asked Jiang Taigong to get on the bus and leave. Ji Changli was so fierce that he pulled the car to the west for 30 1 step and suddenly fell down. I feel dizzy. When I got up, Xibohou found that I was going in the wrong direction. I walked 507 steps to the east in a daze, and finally I was exhausted and collapsed on the road. Jiang Taigong said, "Oh, my God! Xibohou, as soon as you take 808 steps, the Zhou Dynasty has existed for 808 years. "

King Wen has only heard about it for more than 800 years. He regretted it and wanted to continue pulling the cart. However, Jiang Ziya said, "What a long time! The rise and fall of life, your own destiny, is it a child's play! " So the "Western Zhou" has 30 1 year, while the "Eastern Zhou" has 507 years and the Zhou Dynasty has a history of 808 years.

Some people say it is step 30 1. Because King Wen walked steadily, the "Western Zhou Dynasty" made the country rich and strong, and then stumbled in 507 steps, so the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" appeared in history. Finally, the person who fell down climbed down and threw himself on the ground, so there appeared the "five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period".

Originally, the intention of Jiang Taigong to let Zhou Wenwang pull a rickshaw was to see the sincerity of King Wen and to calculate the life span of the Zhou Dynasty, which was given by God. Because it is a secret, it can't be revealed, so there is an eternal legend of "King Wen pulling a rickshaw". Later, King Wen established the world (King Wu established the Zhou Dynasty in history, and respected his father as King Wen), so Jiang Ziya told him not to bury me when I died, put me in a coffin and hang me on the throne, so that I could listen to court proceedings every day. I promise you that Zhou Wenwang will do the same in 808.

More than 800 years later, there was a king in the Zhou Dynasty named Zhou Wang Lazy (there was Zhou Nanwang in history, not Zhou Wang Lazy). The king here is very lazy. Every day, he goes to the court and lies on his throne. When he opened his eyes, he saw the coffin, which was very unfortunate. He removed it. As a result, within a few years, the Zhou Dynasty was finished, in 808.
