In Historical Records compiled by historian Sima Qian, there is a clear record of Jiang Ziya's hometown-a great scholar and a master of the East China Sea. The so-called East China Sea, as mentioned in the Spring and Autumn Annals of Lushi compiled by Prime Minister Qin, refers to the land of foreigners. The land of Dongyi is the middle and lower reaches of Huaihe River, including parts of Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces. Jiangzhai Town, Linquan County, Anhui Province happens to be in the so-called East China Sea.

In addition, there are local oral records, local chronicles, Han tablet (suspect) and other materials to prove that Jiang Ziya's hometown is Jiangzhai Town, Linquan County, Anhui Province, which is more credible. Jiangzhai Town is a county-level town in the west of Linquan County, Anhui Province. Because of Jiang Ziya's hometown, it was named Jiangzhai.

Weihui City, Xinxiang City, Henan Province is another saying, which originated from Gaoyou's comments on Lu Chunqiu and Huainanzi, a historian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in which Jiang Ziya was from Hanoi. Secondly, it is another interpretation of the above Historical Records, which is a great scholar and a master of the East China Sea. It is believed that the East China Sea is the ancient name for the Yellow Sea and the residence of ancient Dongyi people, so the East China Sea refers to Rizhao, Shandong.

When Jiang Ziya was in the state of Qi, he took advantage of politics, followed customs, simplified etiquette, opened up industry and commerce, and developed fishing and salt industry. As a result, the people joined Qi, which became a big country. When he ascended the throne at a young age, he betrayed the Zhou Dynasty despite Cai's rebellion. The king sent for Kang Gong and ordered Tai Gong to say, "East to the sea, west to the Yellow River, south to Muling and north to Wudi. The five-level governor here is guarded by local officials. If they are guilty, they will order you to crusade. " Therefore, Qi can conquer all countries and form a big country with Yingqiu as its capital.
