Li Mingshui
I. Introduction to Jiang Ziya
Ziya, a descendant of Emperor Yan, was respected by nobles in previous lives. This is a decline in family wealth that extends to Ziya.
Ziya was born in the last year of Shang Dynasty (bamboo annals) and died in Zhou Kangwang six years ago, namely 10 14. His ancestors helped Dayu control water in the summer vacation and were sealed in Lu (near Nanyang, Henan Province). This tribe named Lu was said to be a native of Dongyi and Xuzhou in the East China Sea in the Spring and Autumn Period, and was named Lu Shang. Historical records say that he is a master in the East China Sea. Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals and Historical Records have different opinions, but they are not contradictory. Because in ancient times, it was generally said that the eastern minorities outside the Central Plains were barbarians, and the East China Sea was the land of barbarians.
Lu Shang's surname is Jiang Shang Ziya and her first name is flying bear. In the historical records of the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, Lu merchants were called "King" and "Lord Lu", not "Jiang Ziya". This is Zhou Wenwang's honorific title for Ziya, the king and squire, and the reputation of a think tank.
Second, Ziya's life experience, why did you come here to fish?
Things change and dynasties rise and fall. People have regarded Jiang Ziya as a god since ancient times. In particular, the classic novel "The Romance of the Gods" rendered Jiang Ziya as adhering to God's will, assisting the Zhou Dynasty in destroying the merchants, and raising apricot yellow flags to worship the gods, which aroused people's admiration and reverie.
In the past, people called Jiang Taigong, and many people posted red paper "Here, everything is exempt from punishment" to show that monsters have retired to other places. In fact, it's fake, indistinguishable and lifeless. So, whether there is Jiang Ziya in history depends on history. During the Warring States Period, celebrities compiled Lu Shang (Jiang Ziya) into Six Towers, and wrote: Wen, Wu, Long, Tiger, Leopard and Dog also used six tactics of fighting, and a military book counted 60 articles with more than 20,000 words.
19 (73 1), Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty built a shrine for Lu Shang (Jiang Ziya) in Chang 'an and Luoyang, with Sean and others as the ten philosophers, which was shared by ten outstanding politicians, strategists and strategists in China history. In the first year of Shangyuan (760), Tang Suzong chased Lu Shang as the king of Wenxuan and became two idols in ancient China.
Third, life is unlucky, business is down and out, and his wife threw him away.
One day, the Buddha of Kunlun Mountain ordered Ziya to go to the temple to worship Buddha. Buddha said, how many years have you been in Kunlun Mountain? Ziya said: I went up the mountain at the age of 32, and now I am 72 years old. Buddha said: you were born with a poor road and can only be blessed by the world. This is not the place where you have lived for a long time. You can pack up early and go down the mountain.
Zia is very helpless. She packed the piano, sword and clothing bag and left the teacher. She knelt down and wept. Think about yourself, there are no uncles and sisters in the world, and there are brothers, sisters, sons and nephews in the afternoon. I am like a bird lost in the forest, and no one can live in it. Suddenly, I thought of my sworn brothers and went to Shangdu to sing (via Qixian County, Henan Province) to find Songzhuang and Songyiren. Song is the home of foreigners, Ziya was taken in by my sworn brother to help him do business and make a living. A hedge is not sold every day; Second, grinding flour to sell powder, the wind blows in the clouds, and the profit is empty; Three cattle and sheep sellers were officially seized, making both profits and losses; Four restaurants, people and ghosts don't come, the meat stinks and the wine is sour; It is useless to abandon a wife who has teeth with Markov factors; Editors can't sell it; The income from farming cannot compensate the seeds planted; The income from fishing is not equal to the price of fishing nets. Such things are just for circulation, and the exaggeration of most strategists and lobbyists is not necessarily true.
However, Lu Shang is well-read and knowledgeable. He worked for Shang Zhouwang and fled because of the tyranny of Zhou Wang. After going west, he was employed in Zhou Wenwang.
Fourth, Ziya fishing.
It is better to take it from the straight line than from the curve.
Not to catch Jin Li, but to catch the king and so on.
Ziya gave up singing, bid farewell to Ma Shi and hid in Panxi to wait for you. Enlightenment correction. If you ask, when will you meet God when you fish with the willow tree? A wise son has countless pearls in his chest and boundless splendor in his belly. People like Tong, Lao Peng, Chang Sang and Yi Yin saw that Ziya's fishing line was tied with a needle without curve. A woodcutter laughs at you. You have been fishing for three years, but you haven't caught a fish in a hundred years. Are you stupid? Ziya said, "Although I fish under this name, I don't care about fishing. I just stayed above the clouds to get the road. How can you take the fish away in the middle of the song? It's not what the husband did. I would rather get it from a straight line than look for it in the middle; Not for the brocade scale, but for the princes. I have a poem to prove it: short pole and long line guard the stream, which is unknown to this organ; Why fish in troubled waters? "
During this period, Zhou Wenwang spent three springs with his ministers, and went to a secluded mountain village to see the thatched houses in the forest. King Wen got off the sedan chair and saw Ziya sitting on the back of the stream. King Wen and his ministers worshipped Ziya, saying: Mr. Jiu Mu's virtue was hidden in the stream stone, and one of his ministers arranged a betrothal gift, and Ziya received it. I dare not ride a horse after boarding the ship. King Wen and Ziya conspired to help each other, and their morality was congenial, and they were incompatible with each other. King Wen, who helped him defeat the merchants, became an all-powerful historical figure.
Five, fishing experience, wait and see
Lu Shang fished for three days and nights, but he didn't think the fish was unknown. He couldn't help feeling angry and wanted to take off his clothes and catch fish in the water.
At this time, a farmer came forward and pointed out to Lu Shangkou: "Sir, fishing another day will definitely yield something, but you must be careful in your mind, the fishing method must be fine, the bait must be fragrant, and the fishing rod must be light." Lu Shang obeyed, and sure enough, he even caught a big fish. So, he carefully pondered the secret of success, and finally realized some profound truths: throwing bait skillfully, waiting for an opportunity to move, casting a long line and catching big fish. So he felt at ease and decided to wait and see.
Sixth, the original frontier state of Zhou could become a sage and a treasure.
Zhou is an ancient tribe living in the Loess Plateau in northwest China. In the late Shang Dynasty, Zhou was a vassal state of Shang Dynasty in the west. Zhou acknowledged the co-owner status of Shang Dynasty and paid tribute to Shang Dynasty regularly. Zhou Jichang (later called King Wen) succeeded to the throne as the queen, actively recruited talents, enlisted allies, deliberately developed the economy, and practiced the politics of being diligent and enriching the country. As a result, the national strength has gradually become stronger, the social order has been orderly, and people from far and near have returned to their homes. From near to far, the governors of the Quartet, Boyi, who lives on the coast of the North Sea, and Lu Shang (Jiang Ziya), who lives on the coast of the East China Sea, all changed with the wind and joined the Party in succession.
Lu Shang came to the territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty from Weishui alone, lived a spring life and fished in Panxi. In a remote and secluded place, Lu Shang thought hard to find a good way to participate in the Zhou government and realize inheritance.
Ji Chang and Lu Shang met unexpectedly, and their hearts were connected, so they confided in each other. Lu Shang talks about the general trend of the world, and he is careful with his words, such as hanging a river and diarrhea, and talking about the essentials of governing the country. Lu Shang told the long-thought-out "three invariants" once and for all: you should always recommend sages, officials should always take benevolence as a constant, and scholars should always respect sages.
In a word, the founding of the People's Republic of China is based on the merits of government affairs and attaches importance to the exploration and use of talents to enrich Qiang Bing. In the slave society linked by blood, he dared to respect the virtuous instead of his relatives, which not only showed his foresight, but also showed his political courage. The more Ji Chang listened, the happier he became. He said: "The late Lord Tai Gong once predicted that Zhou would prosper only if there were saints." Are you a saint? "Then, Ji Chang helped Lv Shang get on the bus and go back to the palace, holding him as a think tank and honoring Lv Shang as squire. With Zhou Guo's talent, he was able to display his talent and use wizards.
Seven, wisdom to save Ji Chang.
Ji Chang knows how to be a good man, not seeking perfection. At that time, the country became stronger and stronger. However, Shang Zhouwang realized the threat of Zhou people, and Zhou and Zhao were colonized by Shang Dynasty. He let her be accused, so he put Ji in prison and boiled Ji's son Boyi to death.
Lu Shang was eager to rescue Ji Chang with the management strategy of the governors, knowing that Zhou Wang was lewd and gained the beauty of the country, so he asked Zhou Wang to pardon Ji Chang for returning home. Under the planning of Lu Shang and others, on the one hand, he expressed his sincere obedience to the Shang Dynasty, on the other hand, he courted the subjects of the Shang Dynasty and the governors of the Quartet to win people's hearts.
Zhou people's preparations for overthrowing the rule of Shang Dynasty and seizing political power were quite sufficient and matured for seven years. Ji Chang chose Lu Shang's "heavy policy of luring yin into treason", gradually wooing and disintegrating the allies of Shang Dynasty, repairing the internal political and religious forces, training troops abroad, conquering neighboring small countries and tribes in the name of cracking down on disobedient princes, and expanding the country's prosperity.
According to the legend in the Book of Songs, neighboring countries are worried: Zhou "The tiller gives way to the shore (field boundary), the traveler gives way, men and women take different roads, and the gray ones are not tired." Old people have no burden. The scholar is a doctor, and the doctor is Qing.
There is a gentleman's wind. This living fact educated Yu and Yu's monarch.
The news spread like wildfire, and Zhou Guo's prestige jumped up and automatically attached to more than 40 countries. In this regard, Lu Shangli thinks that Ji Chang is the king of Zhou Wenwang.
Regarding the development of the situation and Lu Shang's achievements in this period, Sima Qian commented: "The world is divided into three points and two weeks, which is mostly the plan of the squire." This is by no means rhetoric. There is no doubt that in Zhou Wenwang's business of "destroying merchants", the contribution of Shandong merchants is second to none. Love the people, accumulate virtue and do good deeds is Lu Shang's main biography. With the assistance of Lu Shang, Zhou Wenwang put these thoughts into practice, cultivated Zhou's internal affairs and diplomacy, and presented a thriving scene.
Eight, the way to Lishui Yiyuan Huanggu
Lu Shang was the first to win the prize for his greatest contribution. He ruled the vast area between Hai and Dai, established the State of Qi, and built Yingshan (now north of Zibo). Qi has a vast territory, east to the seashore, west to the Yellow River, south to Muling (now Daguanshan in Linqu County, Shandong Province/0/00 Li) and north to Wudi (now 30 Li in Wudi County, Shandong Province).
Lu Shang was deeply honored by this honor and gladly packed his bags and went to Qi in the east. On the way to Surabaya, I fished at the top of Huangshan Mountain, the source of Yishui (now Diaoyutai Village, Nanshengshui Town, surabaya county). In fishing, I gained insight into people's feelings. I see the scenery here is beautiful, like a fairy. It is an excellent place for self-cultivation, with lush mountains and rivers and affectionate feelings. Before recalling the past, I had a feeling of idyllic poetry, and I planned to stop there, worship and fly to the top of the one-yuan emperor.
