Who was the Buddha at the beginning of the century? Is he really Jiang Ziya's master?

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a famous counselor, Jiang Ziya, who helped western Zhou Wuwang conquer the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. After many hardships, he forced Zhou Wang to burn himself to death. Later, a fairy tale was derived from it. In this book, he became an all-powerful Jiang Shang. So who taught this legend? He has many good apprentices, but who is his master? In the novel, he is a disciple of Yuxu Palace, fighting the army of Xiqi and Shang Zhouwang at the end of the conquest, not only fighting all kinds of ghosts and gods, but also reading the list of gods in person. Just because he was born without contact with immortals, he can only enjoy the prosperity of the world.

In the official history, he is a very talented and moral minister, who has made great achievements in politics and military affairs. Rulers of all previous dynasties regarded him as a very rare good minister, and praised him and praised his achievements in many literary works before the Tang Dynasty. Li Longji in the Tang Dynasty wanted national stability, and he needed loyal talents from Jiang Shang. In memory of him, every time he goes out to war or when someone should believe him, he will visit the temple in person. Later, he was regarded as a "martial" saint in China by posthumous title. In order to resist foreign aggression, the monarch of the Northern Song Dynasty ordered all military generals to study the art of war before going out to war.

Jiang Shang is a very legendary figure. His method of "Jiang Taigong fishing" can be said to have pioneered this method of recommending himself to the monarch. He succeeded in making Wu Wang accept himself, which can be said to be the ultimate deduction of this self-promotion method.

When he was young, Jiang Shang was a butcher who killed cattle. In order to make a living, he worked as a hotel shopkeeper, but his ambition did not fade during this period. It is said that Jiang Shang began to study academics in his sixties. He is old and dying, but his heart is still beating in this world, and it continues to beat. He also successfully helped Zhou Wuwang win the country, which is very encouraging. As we all know, the average age of the ancients was low, and their fifties were already their birthday. However, even today, it is inconceivable that Jiang Shang lived 139 years old and didn't know what kind of regimen he adopted.

After being appreciated by the Western Zhou Dynasty, he finally had the opportunity to make a name for himself. He led tens of thousands of Western Qi troops to fight against more than 100,000 armies of Shang and Zhou Dynasties in Muye. Although the latter were outnumbered, their morale was low and their performance in this battle was too weak. Xiqi's army killed the opportunity at will and washed his camp to pieces. Commercial soldiers have come forward to surrender. Zhou Wang saw that his army was fighting less and less, while Xiqi's army was getting less and less. It can be said that if it weren't for Jiang Shang's sake, they might still have a chance to fight, so after the job was done, the Western Zhou Dynasty regarded him as an important official of the court and made him the king of Qi as a reward.

Jiang Shang can not only fight, but also strategize on the battlefield. He is also good at languages, and his work Song of Gankun Years is extremely accurate. He even wrote in detail the changes of dynasties, the names of empires, and even the political color of the environment at that time. These were later proved, so he was also a pioneer in the field of prophecy. Although the whole article only takes less than 1000 words, it basically describes the situation of later generations and is quite legendary. Although some people say that this is the original author's attempt to raise the value of this article only through Jiang Shang's mystery, there is no denying that he has such a magical beauty.

So Jiang Shang's skill is so great, who is his master? In the novel, his master is a famous Buddhist master, the Buddha at the beginning of the century. Although this character is fictional, everything is not groundless. There must be a saint. It's just that the years have passed so long that it's impossible to delve into it. We can only say that we hope these scholars can find the correct answer in the long river of history. According to the situation at that time, there were masters on the river, which should be of high level. Ordinary people cannot learn without a teacher. This man must be very capable. The reason why he is unknown is that he should be a hermit in the Jianghu.

Jiang Shang has many disciples, but most of them are related to myths and legends, because Jiang Shang himself is a fortune teller. Although myths and legends can't be compared with reality, the legendary Yuan Zun is not his real master, and there is no detailed description of this person in history books, but one thing is certain, this hermit must be a saint with both civil and military skills and noble moral integrity.
