Jiang Ziya wanted to be the Jade Emperor, why did he become a Liang God?

We all know that Jiang Ziya (about1156 BC-about10/7 BC), surnamed Jiang, Lushi, Yi Ming, Ziya, or Tiger Tooth, also known as Lu Shang, was born in the last years of Shang Dynasty.

Jiang Ziya later assisted the King of the Western Zhou Dynasty in cutting Zhou Wang, and was called "King Taigong" after winning the world, commonly known as Taigong. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wenwang named him a "Taishi" (the name of the military attache) and honored him as a "teacher who respects his father". Jiang Ziya was the founder of Qi, a businessman in Zhou Wenwang, the chief strategist and supreme military commander of King Ke Zhou, the founding father of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the founder of Qi culture, and an outstanding strategist, strategist and politician with far-reaching influence in ancient China.

As we all know, it is said in the Romance of the Gods that after the decline of the fortune of Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the phoenix landed in Qishan, and Xiqi became the main force to conquer Shang and Zhou Dynasties. The saints of the three religions drew up the plan of deifying the gods in a golden platform and decided to canonize 365 true gods. The person who presided over the deification was Jiang Ziya, the prime minister of Xiqi. After Jiang Ziya was deified, he left a jade emperor's position, which was the first of the gods and was very important. According to legend, Jiang Ziya left the position of Jade Emperor to himself, but why did he eventually become a Liang God? Of course, none of these folktales are true, and they are only used for chatting after dinner.

At that time, Jiang Ziya was in charge of sealing the list of gods and beating the whip. After sealing the gods, he left the position of the jade emperor. How noble the jade emperor is, it belongs to the Lord of gods. The gods have asked Jiang Ziya, who should bear the responsibility of the Jade Emperor? Jiang Ziya can't directly say that he wants to sit in this position, but he says, "Some people are capable, and some people are capable." Unexpectedly, a man named came out from below and said, "I am your friend, and I thank the Prime Minister for the title." So Zhang Youren took the position of the Jade Emperor, so people always called the Jade Emperor "Zhang Youren". Is it a bit out of place? This is real luck, and nothing can stop it.

All the gods were sealed, and Jiang Ziya had nowhere to go, so he jumped on the beam. Because the whip is still in his hand, the immortal will retreat three feet when he sees it, so later generations left the saying that "Jiang Taigong is here, and the immortal retreats". Every New Year's Eve, the gods return to their positions. Usually give Jiang Ziya a place to go to any god, but on the day of ex-dividend, everyone went back to their home, and there was no place in Jiang Ziya.

So why did Jiang Ziya inexplicably become a Liang God? Actually, it's because of a description in this statue.

At that time, people expounded that the three religions agreed to seal the gods in Biyou Palace, and Yuan Zun appointed Jiang Ziya to preside over the meeting. Originally, the purpose of Jiang Ziya becoming a monk was to live forever and live happily ever after. As a result, Yuan Shitianzun told him that there was no hope of immortality, which happened to be such an opportunity, so Jiang Ziya quietly left himself a position of jade emperor.

After leaving Kunlun Mountain, Jiang Ziya went to Chao Ge to visit his friend Song Yi's home, where he lived for a period of time. His friend also arranged a marriage for him, that is, to marry Ma Shi. Seeing that he was studying Sun Tzu's art of war at home all day and didn't go out to work, he advised him to do business. Jiang Ziya was obviously not cut out for business, so he died. Later, when Jiang Ziya was depressed, Yi Song enlightened him and they chatted together in the backyard. He pointed to an empty space and asked, "Why doesn't my dear friend build five buildings?" Yi Song said, "It's not that he didn't build them. Built many times, they caught fire for no reason. " Jiang Ziya added: "My dear friend just needs to build them. My brother will entertain craftsmen on a bright day, and I will suppress evil spirits for you here. Naturally, nothing will happen. "

While in Liang, Jiang Ziya noticed that five children were making trouble, so he went to appease them. This is why Jiang Ziya became the God of A Liang. He Liang just helped his friends suppress evil spirits, so that he was named the inexplicable Liang God by later generations. I guess he is also very helpless.

His historical position has been recognized by ancient books, and Confucianism, France, the military, the vertical and horizontal scholars all worship him as a family figure, honoring him as the "master of a hundred schools of thought."

These are all topics of small talk, and there is no real evidence.
