If Ji Chang took 900 steps behind Jiang Ziya's back, could the Zhou Dynasty last 900 years?

China culture has a long history of thousands of years, but as the beginning of history, we have to mention the Zhou Dynasty. Before the Zhou Dynasty, it was the Shang Dynasty. We should all have heard of the last king of Shang Dynasty. It's the tyrant Zhou Wang. What we read in the Romance of the Gods is that Zhou Wang doted on da ji, was extravagant and cruel, and did many things that people spurned during his reign, and was called a dissolute and extravagant bad king by later generations.

In fact, we are all misled by TV dramas. In fact, Zhou Wang is not a bad king. On the contrary, he is brave, smart and brave. After he succeeded to the throne, the Shang Dynasty was already in some turmoil. But in this case, in order to stabilize the Shang Dynasty, he sent troops to crusade against the Zhou Dynasty, and finally arrested Ji Chang, which restored the prosperity of the Shang Dynasty. However, this sign did not last long. Ji Chang's son, Ji Fa, quickly attacked the Shang Dynasty, and Zhou Wang was unable to resist, and finally set himself on fire and died. What followed was the demise of the Shang Dynasty.

But today we are going to tell the story of Zhou Wenwang. Zhou Wenwang is the Ji Chang we mentioned above. He used to be Xibohou of Shang Dynasty. Because he couldn't stand the tyranny of Zhou Wang, he returned to his own territory to rebel and prepare to overthrow Zhou Wang. But overthrowing Zhou Wang is not an easy task. He needs a strategist to help him. We all know that the ancients could tell fortune and measure stars, so Zhou Wenwang found a master to tell fortune. The master said that he would meet his nobles by the river, so Zhou Wenwang often went to the river, but he didn't meet the nobles in the main population. He couldn't help thinking, who is his "strategist"? Finally, on this day, when he wandered by the river again, he met an old man.

The old man was fishing, but he fell asleep leaning against a nearby stone. Zhou Wenwang was very polite and didn't take the liberty to disturb him. Because at this time, he was thinking, can this old man be his own noble? So he sat by and waited for him to wake up. After a long time, the old man finally woke up. At this time, Zhou Wenwang looked at the old man carefully. He found that his temple turned white with the crowd, but it gave people a very spiritual feeling.

The old man is Jiang Ziya. At this time, Jiang Ziya was over 70 years old, but his old age did not prevent him from emitting charm. After all, young Jiang Ziya is very talented, and the older he gets, the more experienced he becomes. Just as they looked at each other, Jiang Ziya's fishing rod moved, and Jiang Ziya picked it up at once. There's a fat fish on the hook, Jiang Ziya said. It's luck.

What exactly does this pun mean? It turns out that Jiang Ziya can also tell fortune, and he expected that there would be noble people coming to him. No, here comes the noble. But Zhou Wenwang didn't know that Jiang Ziya was his noble person, so Jiang Ziya directly told the purpose of Zhou Wenwang's visit. Zhou Wenwang was surprised after hearing this, and immediately understood that this was his noble person. So he asked Jiang Ziya to go with him and help himself. But the old man Jiang Ziya said that he had been sitting here for a long time, and his legs were numb and he couldn't walk, so he asked Zhou Wenwang to carry it himself. Without further ado, Zhou Wenwang put Jiang Ziya on his back. After walking 800 steps, Zhou Wenwang was exhausted, so he put Jiang Ziya down. Jiang Ziya said, you take eight hundred steps behind my back, and I will protect you for eight hundred years.

Jiang Ziya's words worked. The Zhou Dynasty did exist for 800 years, but Zhou Wenwang made a small mistake. When he walked 300 steps behind Jiang Ziya's back, he found himself in the wrong direction, so he turned around and walked 500 steps to the east. So there were two dynasties in the Zhou Dynasty, one was the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the other was the Western Zhou Dynasty. The Western Zhou Dynasty existed for 300 years, while the Eastern Zhou Dynasty only existed for 500 years. If he hadn't gone in the wrong direction, maybe the Eastern Zhou Dynasty wouldn't have died in the end. Zhou Wenwang took 800 steps behind Jiang Ziya's back, and Zhou Wenwang of the Zhou Dynasty in 800 years: I made a big mistake! What do you think of this?
