What God is Jiang Ziya? Why is there the phrase "Jiang Taigong is here and the gods abdicate"?

According to historical records, Jiang Ziya was a butcher who slaughtered cattle in Chao Ge for a long time. Later, he opened a bar in Jinmeng and became a wine merchant. Worst of all, Jiang Ziya always wanted to be an official to assist the vassals, but no one invited him.

Jiang Ziya can only change his mind and not take the usual path. Why don't you come? Jiang Taigong goes fishing, who will take the bait? . Squatting by the Weihe River every day, fishing with a straight hook. Let Zhou Wenwang, who is patrolling here, meet him. I was curious to ask him, so that Jiang Shang came out of the mountain to help King Wen and King Wu destroy the business, creating a story passed down by the Zhou Dynasty for more than 800 years.

From then on, Jiang Ziya became more and more popular among the people, and finally there was the Ming Dynasty's mythical masterpiece "Romance of the Gods".

In romance novels, Jiang Ziya deified gods in the early Yuan Dynasty, and deified 365 gods of justice, plus Fei Lian and Loy, who were finally beheaded. Adultery? . In other words, Jiang Ziya actually sealed a total of 367 gods. According to the truth, it should be possible for Jiang Ziya to ask the Buddha of the beginning to make himself a god, and the throne is not full yet.

Then why didn't Jiang Ziya, who presided over the deification, be deified?

In folklore, it is said that Jiang Ziya originally wanted to be the Jade Emperor. 365. After the righteous God pursued the seal, someone asked Jiang Ziya: The throne of the Jade Emperor has not been sealed yet. who is it? ? Hearing this, Jiang Ziya replied? Someone, someone is the jade emperor! ? As a result, Jiang Ziya's voice did not fall, and there was a flash of golden light. A man in rags actually flew into God and became the Jade Emperor. It turned out that this man named Zhang was just quietly hiding under the altar to watch the fun, and was mistakenly named the Jade Emperor.

Jiang Ziya was dumbfounded at first sight, and was finally named the monarch of Qi by featuring the king, and spent the rest of his life in the secular world.

This legend obviously conflicts with the romance of immortals. In the myth system, there are still some differences between immortals and gods.

Immortals usually come from practicing calendar robbery, and their ways are very high. Moreover, immortals are cultivated when they are alive.

As for God, there is not enough practice to cultivate immortality, even when he is alive. However, because I did something on earth, I finally died. Heaven just lacked some handyman, so he was recruited to be a grass-roots clerk in heaven. Therefore, if you want to become a god, you must die.

The deified people in The Romance of Gods were all brought to the altar by Bai Jian of Shen Fu in Qing Dynasty in the name of evocation, and then deified by Jiang Ziya. Shocked, huh Jiang Ziya's gods are all dead?

In the romance, before Jiang Ziya went down the mountain, the Buddha at the beginning had told Jiang Ziya and Jiang Ziya? Born with bad luck, it is difficult to become immortal, and can only be blessed by the world? . Jiang Ziya has no chance of becoming an immortal. Jiang Ziya also has no chance to become a god, because Jiang Ziya must die to become a god. However, he can't die. If Jiang Ziya dies, who will deify this deity?

Now you can understand what the Buddha said.

First of all, Jiang Ziya didn't practice to the point of immortality.

Secondly, if Zhou wants to replace Shang, there is bound to be a fierce battle, with countless casualties. The original Buddha wanted to take the opportunity to expand the power of heaven, so he made Jiang Ziya deify himself. So Jiang Ziya won't die or become a god.

Finally, in order to give Jiang Ziya some compensation, Yuan Shizu asked Jiang Ziya to help King Wen and overthrow Yin Zhou, and became the first hero of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. Later, he was crowned as the monarch of the State of Qi, enjoying the prosperity of the world.

In addition to Jiang Ziya, there are seven people who have not been deified, namely, Li Jing, Jin Bai, Bai Mu, Nezha, Yang Jian, Hu Wei and Lei Zhenzi. Seven of them didn't die in battle, but they all had immortal lives. So when the vassal was sealed in Zhou Wuwang, all seven of them didn't raise them, but chose to live in seclusion in Kunlun and become immortal through cultivation.

Jiang Ziya is neither a fairy nor a god. Why? Jiang Taigong is here, and the gods abdicated? , such a cow's status?

The reason is very simple, or because of this deity. When Jiang Ziya went down the mountain, the original Buddha gave Jiang Ziya three treasures, namely whip, apricot yellow flag and Jiang Ziya mount. Jiang Ziya's magic whip is very powerful, but there are attribute restrictions, that is? This whip only hits the immortals, not the immortals or the people? . In the Romance of the Gods, the four heavenly kings believed in Buddhism before they became gods, so they could not be beaten with whips. As a result, the whip was taken away by the mixed bead umbrella of Duowen Tianwang.

After Jiang Ziya was deified, Yuan Zun did not take back Jiang Ziya's flogging. The meaning is obvious, these gods are sealed by you, and you have the final say. Jiang Ziya became a celestial free supervisor hired by heaven.

So wherever Jiang Ziya goes, he just needs to shout:? Jiang Taigong is here, and the gods abdicated? Those gods must respectfully give their seats to Jiang Ziya for the time being. However, the immortals don't need to pay attention to Jiang Ziya, and Jiang Ziya can't control it. It can't be beaten.

As for the past, when building a house, I liked to stick it on the main beam. Jiang Taigong is here, and the gods abdicated? Red paper, because Jiang Ziya once presided over the house repair work, when the site supervisor.

When Jiang Ziya just went down the mountain, he was desperate and took refuge in his sworn brother Yi Song. Although Jiang Ziya failed to cultivate immortals, he was a fortune teller and knew some techniques of fortune telling and geomantic omen. One day, Jiang Ziya and others were walking in the back garden of the Song family and saw a clearing. He told Song Yiren that a house with five rooms should be built here. Song Yiren said that it was built seven or eight times and was burned down. Jiang Ziya supervised the construction of five buildings on behalf of the Song Dynasty.

As a result, when the building was built on the beam, there was a strong wind, flying stones and sand, and dust flying, and a colorful monster came. Of course, with Jiang Ziya around, I could see at a glance that five elves were at work. Jiang Ziya defeated five fatty elves and subdued them. Since then, the five buildings of Song Yi's family have never suffered any disasters. On the contrary, their families are prosperous and their lives are getting better and better.
