Who is ingenious in China's fairy tales? The more, the better.

In fairy tales, both Jiang Ziya and Guanyin Bodhisattva know how to calculate. In the list of gods, Jiang Ziya can always figure out who will experience what hardships and when it will rain heavily. In Journey to the West, Guanyin Bodhisattva can always figure out what Tang Priest is thinking.

Jiang Ziya's story:

Shang and Zhou Dynasties were tyrannical, and Zhou Wenwang was determined to overthrow the tyranny at the source. Jiang Taigong Ziya was ordered by her master to help King Wen. But Jiang Ziya felt that he had been half a century, and he had no friendship with King Wen, so it was difficult to gain the appreciation of King Wen.

So on the way back to Beijing, King Wen fished without bait with a straight hook on one side of the river. As we all know, the hook is curved, but Jiang Ziya caught a lot of fish with a straight hook instead of bait.

King Wen saw it and thought it was a strange man (the ancients respected him very much), so he took the initiative to talk to him and found that he was really a useful talent, so he confessed. Later, Jiang Ziya helped King Wen and his son overthrow the rule of Shang and Zhou Dynasties and established the Zhou Dynasty.

Extended data:

Jiang Ziya's ancestors used to be officials of Sishan, helping Yu Xia to control water and soil. Shun and Yu were sealed in Lu, so they were also called Lu merchants. Some were sealed in Shen, surnamed Jiang. During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, Shen, Lu and others were sealed as descendants and some became civilians, and Lu Shang was their distant descendant. Lu Shang was originally surnamed Jiang, and was named after the fief, so he was called Lu Shang.

When Jiang Ziya was born, his family had already declined, so when Jiang Ziya was young, he worked as a butcher who slaughtered cattle and sold meat, and also opened a hotel to sell wine. However, Jiang Ziya people are not lacking in ambition. Whether they are slaughtering cattle or doing business, they always study astronomy, geography and military strategies tirelessly, and study the way to run the country and make it safe, hoping to display their talents for the country one day. But until they are 70 years old, they are still useless and live at home.
