Lu Shangyiyin's Life Story

1, Jiang Ziya, also known as Jiang Shang, is from the East China Sea. His ancestors used to be officials of Sishan and helped Yu Xia to control water and soil. Shun and Yu were sealed in Lu (now Nanyang West, Henan Province), 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 strategy 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.

2. Zhi was born in late summer and early Shang Dynasty. Liezi Tian Rui said: "A cloudy day gives birth to an empty mulberry." "Mozi Shang Xian" said: "Yi Yin and the female teacher and servant of the Xin family." In Oracle Bone Inscriptions, it is recorded that Yi Yi (that is, Shang Tang) and Yi Yin sacrificed together. It can be said that Yi Yin was the first teacher in China who recorded in Oracle Bone Inscriptions. After Yi Yin was born, he was adopted by many people in China. Farming in the wild is the way to enjoy Yao and Shun.

Shang Tang later named him Yin (equivalent to the Prime Minister), so the name of Yi Yin was passed down from generation to generation. Legend has it that his father was a slave cook who could kill and cook well, and his mother was a slave who lived in Yishui (now yi river, Luoyang) to pick mulberry and raise silkworms. Before his mother gave birth to him, the dreamer told him, "Anyway, put the mortar out of the water and walk east." .

The next day, she really found that the water in the mortar was like a spring. The kind-hearted Caisang people quickly informed her neighbors that they had fled 20 miles eastward. When she turned around, the village became Wang Yang.

Because she disobeyed the warning of the man of God, her body became empty. By chance, a girl picking mulberry leaves found a baby in the empty mulberry leaves. She took it back to You Wangxin, and he ordered a slave chef to raise him. The twists and turns of this myth and legend reflect that Yi Yin was born by water, so he was named Yi, and his mother was a mulberry slave.

1, Jiang Ziya's anecdotes and allusions-running water under the bridge

Jiang Ziya learned about fishing earlier, and his family was poor. His wife, Marsh, doesn't like Jiang Shang and wants to leave. Jiang Ziya advised her: "I will make a fortune one day. Don't do that."

The horse didn't listen to advice and left. Later, Jiang Ziya helped the King of Zhou to establish the Zhou Dynasty. Ma sees his position and wealth is good, and wants to join Jiang Ziya and have a second time. But Jiang Ziya had already seen through the horse's personality, so he threw a pot of water on the ground and asked the horse to get it back. Horses can only get back the dirt. Jiang Ziya went on to say, "Words are consistent, but water cannot be gathered up."

2. Yi Yin's anecdote-the invention of decoction.

According to records, the founder of traditional Chinese medicine decoction is Yi Yin. According to legend, Yi Yin is very knowledgeable, knowing astronomy above and geography below. He is best at treating people with herbs and is called a living immortal. "Historical Records Yin Benji" records that "Yi Yin said soup has flavor".

"Zi Tong Zhi Jian" said that he "sympathizes with the sufferings of the people, takes soup as medicine, is cold and hot, bitter and sweet, light and turbid, and is suitable for the twelve meridians." The preface of A-B Classic also says, "Yi Yin used Shen Nong's materia medica as his soup." It can be seen from the historical records that Yi Yin's research on traditional Chinese medicine decoction is profound.
