Is Water under the Bridge about Zhu Maichen or Jiang Ziya?

The story of Water under the Bridge is actually related to two people, both of whom are stories related to their wives. One is Jiang Taigong in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the other is Zhu Maichen in the Han Dynasty. Bai Juyi said, "It's not too late for you to go back to your hometown after you bought the minister brocade." That's Zhu Maichen.

There is a book-"San Yan Er Pai": I am still poor when I am old, and I am still studying. People laughed at him for being pedantic, but his wife didn't deserve him, so she abandoned him and remarried. The buyer was angry and wrote: "marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a goose with a chicken;" I don't dislike my wife, my wife dislikes me! "

Allusions from Zhu Maichen are folk tales, but those from Jiang Taigong may be more true. Of course, it is true that Zhu Maichen was abandoned by his wife, but he didn't "splash water". This move was played by Jiang Taigong!

According to Tao's Wild Man Series: Water Through the Heart under the Bridge, Tai Gong took a pot of water and threw it on the ground to let his wife earn money. Just answer a sentence: "The words are more consistent, and the things covered will be difficult to collect."

The story is about fishing by the Wei River. His wife Ma thinks he is poor and wants to leave him. Jiang Taigong persuaded him repeatedly that he would become rich one day. But Markov didn't believe it anyway. Jiang Taigong had no choice but to let her go. Later, Jiang Taigong finally gained the trust and reuse of Zhou Wenwang, and helped Zhou Wuwang to unite with the vassals to attack and destroy the Shang Dynasty and establish the Western Zhou Dynasty. Seeing that he was rich and powerful, Ma regretted leaving him. I went to Jiang Taigong and asked him to restore relations with him. Jiang Taigong saw through Ma Shi's personality, so he poured a pot of water on the ground and told Ma Shi to put it away. The horse hurried to fetch water from the ground, but only got some mud. So Jiang Taigong said to her coldly: You have left me, and you can't be together anymore. It's like water falling on the ground, it's hard to get it back! The saying goes "water under the bridge". But now people and most people still say that this allusion comes from Zhu Maichen. The story is that Zhu Maichen became firewood and studied. He was in his forties and still didn't get half of his job. To this end, his wife Cui Shi often laughs at and taunts him. However, Zhu Maichen is very confident that he will succeed. He advised Cui Shi, "I will be rich at the age of 50. Now in his early forties. When I have money, I will definitely repay you. " But the wife didn't believe it. Zhu Maichen didn't change his mind because of his wife's dissatisfaction. He still studies while chopping wood. When he was happy, he sang a few words and had a good time, which led a group of children to laugh after him. His wife was very angry and scolded him: "You bookworm, even the children are making fun of you, which makes me angry." I'm unlucky to marry you. When can I get ahead? "Later, Cui Shi insisted on leaving, forcing Zhu Maichen to write a divorce certificate. Since their divorce, Zhu Maichen's life has been more difficult, but he still collects firewood for a living and insists on studying in his spare time.

Cui Shi left and remarried to a carpenter named Zhang nearby. Zhang Carpenter's good wine made him very angry and often beat Cui Shi. Cui Shi remembered that Zhu Maichen was very kind to himself at ordinary times and regretted it.

However, Zhu Maichen went to Beijing for an interview on the recommendation of fellow countryman Yan Shu, and was appreciated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Later, he was promoted for his work and became the magistrate of Huiji. The news that Zhu Maichen went home in rags reached Cui Shi. She begged Zhu Maichen to take her back, and Zhu Maichen promised to take her back as long as Cui Shi could do one thing. The next day, riding to the door of carpenter Zhang's house, someone scooped up a basin of water and spilled it on the ground in front of the horse. He said to Cui Shi, "Can you bring back the spilled basin of water?" Cui Shi was speechless, angry and ashamed, so he jumped into the river in front of the door and killed himself. Zhu Maichen sympathized with her and ordered the burial of the body. The idiom "splashing water before the horse" and "running water under the bridge" are all telling this story. Of course, the real Zhu Maichen doesn't splash water. Zhu Han Maichen Biography: The word Maichen means "Weng Zi" and "Wu Ren". My family is poor, I like reading, I don't care about industry, I often like firewood, I sell it as a meal, I take a salary, and I endorse it when I walk. His wife also took it with her, so she stopped buying ministers and singing in the street. The buyer is getting more and more sick, and his wife is ashamed to ask for it. The buyer smiled and said, "I became rich at the age of fifty, and now I am over forty." Women have suffered for a long time, and I will be rewarded with wealth. "The wife said angrily," If you wait for the public, you will starve to death in the middle ear. How can you be rich! "Buyi can't stay, that is, listen. After that, the buyer went to Songlu alone and paid for the tomb. So, the wife and husband buried the furniture, and when they saw that the buyer was hungry and cold, they called for food and drink. … …

Going to buy a minister will be a satrap. Hearing the news of the meeting, the magistrate arrived, sent someone to take the road away, and sent a county magistrate to meet him. More than 100 cars were taken away. When I entered the border of Wu, I saw my late wife and her husband managing this road. Buy a minister to park the car, call the husband and wife, go to the Taishou mansion, put it in the garden, and give food. In January, his wife died, bribed the minister, begged her husband for money and ordered him to be buried. I realized that gathering old friends for dinner; Anyone who has tasted grace will take revenge. Later generations took the divorce of their husband and wife as their own story, and made it into a drama "Rotten Keshan", which evolved into a story and drama of "Zhu Maichen divorcing his wife" and "splashing water before the horse". Therefore, although Zhu Maichen's "splashing water" is a myth, it is similar to Jiang Taigong's.
