Jiang Ziya's Understanding of Fishing: A Gossip about Jiang Taigong's Fishing

"Jiang Taigong fish-those who wish to take the bait" is a saying in China, which is well known to women, children, old and young.

Jiang Taigong, surnamed Jiang. According to Sima Qian's account, Jiang Taigong's family background is also very prominent. According to today's words, even if it is not a rich official descendant, it is also a declining official descendant. It is said that Jiang Taigong's ancestors can be traced back to Emperor Yan. Jiang Taigong is a descendant of Boyi. Because Boyi was in charge of the four mountains, the ruler sealed Lu as Boyi's fief. The descendants of Boyi took "Lu" as their surname in order to commemorate their ancestors and remember their achievements. As a descendant of Boyi, it is also said that "Lu is their surname".

Based on the above, the introduction of Jiang Taigong is roughly like this:

Jiang Taigong, Jiang Ziya (about 1 156- about 10 17), was born in the last years of Shang Dynasty, with the surname of Jiang, Lu, Ming, Zi Ya, or Zen Tiger Ya.

Everyone is familiar with Jiang Taigong, except for the above sentence "Jiang Taigong fishing-those who wish to take the bait"; There is also a source, that is, the description of Jiang Ziya in the novel "Romance of the Gods"; In addition, Jiang Ziya's inspirational experience when he met King Wen in 1980s is also a legend of self-forgiveness or self-motivation.

Today, regardless of Jiang Taigong's achievements and Jiang Taigong's Art of War, I will briefly talk about Jiang Taigong's fishing.

Before fishing in Weibin, Jiang Ziya was not a "squire". At that time, in everyone's eyes, his old man's house was just an ordinary fisherman.

Because he didn't know how to make a living, Jiang Ziya was still in his seventies, poor and jobless, hiding in the deep forests, feeding his hunger by picking wild fruits and collecting rotten branches and leaves to make a fire for warmth.

Everyone thinks of Jiang Ziya as an ordinary fisherman, but everyone doesn't know that this old man is full of wonderful stories and articles. Before this talent came in handy, Jiang Ziya was just a bookworm and an old bookworm. Why do you say that? Let's take a look at the related legends first:

According to The Romance of Gods, Jiang Ziya married a 68-year-old girl named Huang Hua at the age of seventy. Because Jiang Ziya was not good at making a living, she started her business three times and five times after her marriage, and all ended in failure. After many failed adventures, Jiang Ziya's wife doubted Jiang Ziya's viability and insisted on divorcing Jiang Ziya. Jiang Ziya had no choice but to sign a divorce agreement, send his wife back to her family, and continue to wander alone in the society.

After reading the related rumors and taking a look at fishing in Jiang Ziya, you will believe that what I call a "nerd" is true!

After hiding in the deep mountains, Jiang Ziya ate his hunger by picking up wild fruits. Think about it, this wild fruit will always be picked, and this wild fruit will never be picked. What's more, if you just eat wild fruits, you won't be hungry, and your stomach will keep growling.

One day, Jiang Ziya was really hungry. He saw someone fishing on the bank of Weihe River, and almost all the fish were caught, but the quantity was different.

Jiang Ziya thinks we haven't finished eating meat for a long time. How nice it is to get a grilled fish to eat after catching fish, which not only satisfies our desire, but also fights against long-term hunger!

Thought of here, Jiang Ziya began to draw a gourd.

It's a pity that this bookworm only knows how to study and doesn't think at all. He has never fished, but he doesn't know that this fishing also has the mystery and mystery of fishing.

The bookworm found a straight needle to make a fish hook and called it a "straight hook". He put a little thread on the so-called "straight hook", then continued to pull a rope casually on this line, and then tied the rope to a thick wooden stick at will. He found some food he liked at random and hung it on the hook. In this way, he went fishing

Jiang Ziya is really patient. He sat on the bank of Weihe River with a fishing rod and fished for three days and nights. But the result of fishing in Jiang Ziya is very disappointing! For three days and nights, Jiang Ziya didn't catch any fish, let alone fish. He didn't even catch a toad.
