Who will tell me the story of Jiang Ziya?

Jiang Taigong is the founder of Qi, the chief strategist and commander-in-chief of Yin Ke, the military king of Zhou Wenwang, 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. His historical position has been recognized by ancient books, and Confucianism, Taoism, France, the military, vertical and horizontal scholars all worship him as a family figure, honoring him as the "master of a hundred schools of thought."

Zhao Lie Wang Wucheng, Jiang Ziya

According to historical records, Jiang Taigong was born on the third day of August in the eighth year of Shang Dynasty (BC 12 1 1) and died in the sixth year of Zhou Kangwang (BC 1072). He lived 139 years old.

Jiang Taigong is a long-lived person in the history of our country. After his death, he returned to Zhou and was buried next to the tomb of King Wen. At that time, the Zhou Dynasty stipulated that V was buried against Zhou Dynasty, and only after V could he be buried together. Before the Tang and Song Dynasties, Jiang Taigong was named as a military commander by the emperor, Tang Suzong named Jiang Taigong as a military king, and Song Zhenzong named Jiang Taigong as a military king. In the Yuan Dynasty, folk added some myths and legends to Jiang Taigong. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Xu wrote the novel Romance of Gods. Since then, Jiang Taigong has changed from a man to a god and has been widely believed.

A Fish Jumping into a Hookless Baitless Fishing Line in Jiang Taigong

Jiang Ziya is a famous figure in the ancient history of China, and his position in Taoism and folk is also very high. He was born in a noble family, and his ancestral fief was called Lu, so he was also called Lu Shang. Jiang Ziya was born in the coastal area of Shandong, and he was smart since childhood. It is said that he can also predict the great events that will happen in the world.

At that time, the Zhou Emperor of Shang Dynasty, where Jiang Ziya was, was a cruel man. During his reign, wars continued. In order to escape the war, Jiang Ziya lived in seclusion for 40 years in Liaoning in the north of China, and later he came to Zhong Nanshan in the northwest of Shaanxi Province. There, he often went fishing in Weihe River, but he didn't catch a fish for three years, and the hook was straight. People laughed at him, but he was indifferent, so there is an idiom in China called Jiang Taigong fishing, and he who wishes takes the bait. Incredibly, he did catch a fish with a book on the art of war in its belly. Coincidentally, that night, Emperor Wen of the Zhou Dynasty (BC11-8th century) had a tall dream. The next day, he met Jiang Ziya. Jiang Ziya told Zhou Wenwang about his life experience. In order to defeat the enemy and establish a dynasty, King Wen was looking for talents, so he said to him, "My ancestor Taigong has long pinned his hopes on you." . Therefore, later generations also called him Tai Wang Gong, while among the people, he was generally called Jiang Taigong. King Wen gave him a high position, and with his help, he destroyed the Shang Dynasty. China's later dynasties built temples for him, and Taoism also said that he ascended to heaven and became an immortal.

Historical textual research on Jiang Taigong's life and birthplace.

The surname is Jiang, the name is Lu, and the word Ziya. He is flying bear, the grandson of Yan Di Shennong 5 1 and Boyi 36. Zhou Wenwang, King Wu, Cheng Wang and Kang Wang are four generations of masters, Qi Wang, and his wife's name is Shen Jiang. * * * There are 13 sons (Ding, Ren, Nian, Qi, Fang, Shao, Luo, Ming, Qing, Yi, Shang, Qi, Zuo), and the female city is Princess Jiang, left. 65438 BC+0265438 BC+065438 BC+0 BC, Geng Ding Yu was born in Rizhao City, Shandong Province in the eighth year of Yin. Zhou Kangwang died in Chen Wunian (BC 1072) in Haojiang, the capital of Zhou Dynasty, at the age of 139. The tomb is located in Zhouling Township, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, away from Wang Wenling1km; There is a cenotaph in Jiang Taigong Temple in Linzi, Zibo.

Jiang Taigong was poor all his life, but he hesitated to choose a master. But he was patient, observed the situation and waited for the opportunity. He finally met the master and helped Ji Chang and Xiu De to strengthen their martial arts, so as to prosper the Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Wuwang defeated Zhou, Taigong was the strategist, and Konoha fought to destroy the business, making the first contribution. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Taigong was made the monarch of Qi. He managed the country well and built a great country. These heritages still exist, which laid the foundation for Qi Huangong to become the first of the five tyrants.

There are different records about Jiang Taigong's birthplace, mainly East China Sea and Hanoi.

"On Mencius Li Lou" said: "Boyi broke out and lived on the coast of the North Sea, ... Taigong broke out and lived on the coast of the East China Sea ... two old people, the oldest in the world." The article "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals: The First Time" says: "Tai is also a man of the East." The high note "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals: The First Time" said: "Taiye is from Hanoi." The History of the Three Kingdoms in the Later Han Dynasty quoted a natural history as saying, "Taigong came from Lv Wang, and now there is Donglu Township. I am also caught in a thorn, and my pujin still exists. " "Water Mirror Notes on Water" says: "(Wenshui) reaches the west of Chunyu Kun in the north, so Xia Houshi poured it into the country. It is named Gong and Guo. " "Water Classic Note Qi Cheng" says: "There is Donglu Township in the 160-mile east of Juzhou, and the spine is in Langxie Haiqu, and the Taigong King is born." The Water Classic Annotation quoted the inscription of Taigong Temple as saying, "Taigong Wang is a painter in Hanoi." According to historical records and the research of contemporary experts, it is believed that the East China Sea theory is based on more conclusive evidence. Donglu Township should be the birthplace of Jiang Taigong. In ancient times, Lu and Ju were originally a word, and Ju was the surname of Zhou Dynasty, which is now Juxian County, Shandong Province. Donglu Township and Dongluli are located in the east of Cheng Ju and now belong to Rizhao City. Han Zhanghua's "Natural History" clearly marked: "Haiqu City has Dongluli in Donglu Township, and Taigong Wang is also out." The "Haiqu" of the Western Han Dynasty is the "sunshine" now. Modern Yang Bojun made a concrete textual research on Jiang Taigong's citizenship. He said: "Yan Ruoqu's Continued Four Books said:" Haiqu County, the evil country of the later Han Dynasty, was quoted by Liu Zhao as saying: Taigong Lv Wang came out, and now there is Donglu Township. Fishing in the spine and Tianjin, its Pujin village. It is also located in Jinjin City, Guang Chuan County, Qinghe Kingdom. What is different is that it is located in Langxie Haiqu, which is a special city. I call it the old city of Haiqu, and it is said that it is in the east of Juxian County, so Taigong lived on the coast of the East China Sea that day and made it his home. Han Cuiyuan and Wuji erected a monument, thinking that the people in Jixian County had made a mistake. " ("Mencius on Li Lou") is well-founded and true. In other words, Jiang Taigong's birthplace is in Rizhao and Juxian, on the coast of the Yellow Sea in eastern Shandong, which is exactly where Sima Qian said. According to the historical records of Linzi District, Zibo City, Shandong Province, Jiang Taigong's birthplace is now Rizhao City. According to the historical records of the Lushi Clan World Research Association (including Jiang Taigong and other foreign Lushi), Jiang Taigong was born in Rizhao, Shandong. Mr. Jiang, a famous professor of National Defense University and a descendant of Mr. Wang, is one of the highest authorities on Jiang Taigong studies in China. After years of research, he confirmed that Jiang Taigong was born in Rizhao, Shandong.

It should also be noted that four thousand years ago, two towns in Rizhao (0/8km from downtown/kloc-0) were the largest cities in Asia. This is the conclusion reached by the American archaeological expert group and Shandong University after six months of joint field investigation. As a great man, it should be reasonable that Jiang Taigong was born in such a culturally developed area. Based on comprehensive research and analysis, Jiang Taigong's birthplace should be Rizhao.

The Water Classic Annotation quoted the inscription of Taigong Temple as saying, "Taigong Wang is a painter in Hanoi." The article "Lu Chunqiu Timing" said: "Thai Wang Gong is also from Hanoi." "Historical Records" Qi Taigong aristocratic family: "Taigong Wang Luyan, the Lord of the East China Sea." Weihui City belonged to Hanoi County before the Republic of China, and 1988 was formerly called Jixian County. There is a place name "Donghai" near Weihui, which is evidenced by inscriptions.

Second, the historical position of Jiang Taigong

Jiang Taigong's life is full of ups and downs, full of vitality and mystery. He is indeed a strange man, a miracle and a strange man. Looking at Taigong's achievements in his life, he has made outstanding contributions in military, political and economic thoughts, especially in military affairs. Therefore, Tai Shigong said that "the words of later generations and the yin power of the Zhou Dynasty are all based on the plan of Tai Gong", which can be called the originator and source of military strategists.

Jiang Taigong is an all-powerful figure in the history of China, a "high, big and all-round" image on the stage of China literature and art, and a deity above the gods on the altar of China. As a religious deity, he is Wu Shen, a wise deity, and regarded as the protector of "the squire is here, and forgives all".

Since Qi Huangong's father in ancient times, the Zhou Dynasty has been looking forward to getting a saint ... a talented person who can make the country rich and strong, and help Zhou realize the task of eliminating Yin and prospering Zhou. Therefore, it is called "King Taigong". When the King of Wu was in power, it was commensurate with "the teacher is still the father" and it was difficult to stay away from the dignitaries. The "Taishi" appointed by King Wen, that is, the "Taishi", was the highest official of the "Three Publics" in the Western Zhou Dynasty. He not only presided over the army, but also asked about politics. There is a saying that "three points in the world, two points belong to Zhou, and the squire has many plans", which shows the importance of squire in Zhou Dynasty.

Jiang Taigong is a wise minister and an extraordinary political and military strategist, who has always been admired by the rulers of past dynasties, which was praised in many historical materials and literary works before the Tang Dynasty, such as The Book of Songs.

After Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, foreign countries invaded each other, and domestic worries remained, resulting in political turmoil. The country is facing a situation where everything is in chaos and everything is in ruins. In order to achieve the goal of "ruling the country with peace of mind", he claimed to be the incarnation of Jiang Taigong and established the Taigong Temple in Panxi. He used this move to tell people that he wanted to visit the sages like Zhou Wenwang and reuse Jiang Taigong, and he later got a large number of good officials. In order to achieve domestic peace, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty needed people who were diligent, dedicated and loyal like Jiang Taigong, so in the 19th year of Kaiyuan (AD 73 1 year), it was convenient for all states in the world to build the Taigong Temple. He also asked Sean to share it and sacrifice it on May Day in the Spring and Autumn Period. Whenever sending troops or generals, civil and military juren want to send a letter, they must first visit the Taigong Temple. In the twenty-seventh year of Kaiyuan (AD 739), Jiang Taigong was posthumously named "King of Martial Arts" and became the warrior sage of the Chinese nation. In the fifth year of Xining in Song Shenzong (A.D. 1072), all military generals were ordered to read The Art of War in order to resist the invasion of the imperial crown. Sima Qian said in Historical Records: "Zhou Xibochang escaped from prison and conspired with Lu Shang to dump Xiu De's commercial politics, which was full of military power and intrigue. Therefore, in the words of later generations, Zhou Yinquan returned to Taigong for this purpose." This established Jiang Taigong's position as the founder of Chinese military strategy theory.

1972, Liu Tao's remains were excavated from the Han tomb in Linyi Mountain, Shandong Province, and various versions and notes of Liu Tao preserved today were sorted out, which showed that Liu Tao was popular before the Han Dynasty, denied Liu Tao's suspicion that Lu Shang had been wrongly entrusted by the ancients, and further confirmed that Jiang Taigong's military theory writings were true. He left an indelible and rich legacy to future generations in military theory and strategic thinking of political and economic struggle. It is well-deserved that people call him the father of military tactics!

China's ancient military theories, such as On War, The Art of War, The Art of War, Strategy and Tactics, all originated from Qi. Therefore, the squire is a brilliant strategist, a soldier of Qi, and a Wu Zu of China, which is well-deserved. It can be said that China's profound, resourceful, complete, well-established, long-standing, continuous and far-reaching military scientific theory would not exist without the Taigong theory and its established Qi strategist. Today, we have to pay attention to Taigong's outstanding contribution and ideological value when we study China's ancient strategy of governing the country and the way of using troops. Sun Wu, Gui Guzi, Huang Shigong and Zhuge Liang, the famous military strategists in China in ancient and modern times, have all studied and absorbed the essence of the Six Pagodas of Taigong, and Taigong's literary skills and strategies have also been used for reference in the fields of politics, economy, management, military affairs and science and technology in the world today.

Taigong ruled the country, and established the policy of "simplicity because of customs, business because of industry, and salt because of fish", which was passed down from generation to generation in the hundreds of years of development of Qi State, with great influence and laid the historical position of Qi State culture.

Taigong has been dead for more than 3000 years. People are worshipping his noble personality, mourning his great achievements, making up many fairy tales and praising him with simple feelings. It is said that he studied Taoism in Kunming Mountain. Later, he was ordered by his teacher to go down the mountain to help Zhou destroy the merchants, and then he was ordered by his teacher to publish a list of deities. This made him gradually deified in books such as Taiping Yu Lan and Shen Fengji. In the Ming Dynasty, Xu's reverence for Taigong was beyond words. He wrote a mythical novel "The Legend of Immortals", which described Taigong as the god in charge of all the gods in the world. The magic and majesty of the squire became the idol of exorcism and strengthening the body. Although these are beyond the historical truth, they reflect the lofty position of Jiang Taigong in people's minds.

Third, Jiang Taigong Thought.

Lu Shang (Jiang Taigong) has a far-reaching influence on Wen Tao's military strategy. He is not only a hero who started the Western Zhou Dynasty, but also a veteran who assisted Wen, Yu, Cheng Wang and Kang Wang. He has accumulated rich experience in governing the country and promoted social development and progress. His thought, theory and practice are profound.

1, the originator of military strategy, an eternal warrior.

As the originator of China's military strategy, Jiang Taigong's theory, strategy and skills of governing the country and the army, managing the people and changing customs laid a good foundation for later generations, which was praised and imitated by the Chinese nation.

Sun Wu, a "soldier sage", and Sun Tzu's The Art of War are world-renowned masters of the art of war, and their military thoughts also draw lessons from Taigong's strategy. For example, there is a saying in Sun Tzu's Art of War, that is, "the desire must be smooth, but the desire must not be smooth", while the sentence in Wen Taobing Island, which embodies Jiang Taigong's military thought, is "the skill of defeating the enemy is to spy on the enemy's opportunity, make use of it quickly, and then attack by surprise"; "General's wisdom, faithfulness, benevolence, courage and strictness" in Sun Tzu's Art of War is similar to "There must be five materials and ten points" and "Five materials are brave, wise, benevolent, faithful and loyal" in "On General with Six Towers and Long Towers". The discipline of Sun Tzu's Art of War says: "Soldiers are important for the country. The land of life and death, the way to survive, can not be ignored. " "If the husband is a general, Kuninosuke will be the leader. If you assist the country, the country will be strong and the country will be weak. " And "Six Towers, Long Tao, On Generals" also said that "soldiers are the major events of the country, the way of survival and the place of life. General Kuninosuke is also very important to the former king. " Wait a minute.

The works about Jiang Taigong's military thoughts include Six Towers, Yin Fu Jing, Taigong Art of War, Taigong Golden Chamber, etc. , but there are few existing works. His incisive, profound and valuable thoughts on military strategy, war strategy, tactics, army building and war preparation lie in his comprehensiveness, creativity and pioneering. He did not simply talk about military affairs, but discussed politics and military affairs, governing the country and the army from the height of philosopher's wisdom and the perspective of wise politicians. This made his military strategy and strategy comprehensive, profound and incisive, so it was highly valued by philosophers, politicians and military strategists of all ages and had a great influence. Liu Tao is a great military work in ancient China, which was listed as one of the seven martial arts books in Song Dynasty. As a martial arts textbook, it has become a must-read book for military commanders. For more than 2,000 years, Tamia Liu, like other Five Classics, has been constantly annotated, interpreted, sorted out and expounded from pre-Qin to modern times, excavating his ideological aspirations and absorbing the essence of his thoughts, which has lasted for a long time and has become more and more intense, fully demonstrating his brilliant ideological value and immortal vitality. We should cherish this precious historical and cultural heritage and make it more brilliant in the new era.

2. Machiavelli thought

At the end of Liu's History, there is a passage from: "Tai Gong said: The world is not dominated by one person, but by all people. Those who win the world together will win the world. " This is Taigong's biggest and most fundamental Machiavellian thought of "conspiring to tilt business politics" and destroying business to promote Zhou. Because the biggest tactic is to overthrow the Shang Dynasty and establish the Zhou Dynasty, and seizing and establishing state power is the basis of military strategy. This idea has been repeatedly discussed by Faqi, Wen Qi, Shunqi and others. Taigong was blocked, and after the establishment of Qi, the fundamental policy pursued was also the idea that "the world is not dominated by one person, but by all". It can be seen that Jiang Taigong believes that human nature is to die evil and live happily, and to be good and benefit. What can benefit people is morality, and only those who can be benevolent and moral can make the whole world submit. Therefore, you mainly benefit from the interests of the world, harm the harm of the world, take pleasure in the joy of the world, and serve the life of the world. Only by taking benevolence and morality as the advantages and disadvantages of the world, sharing weal and woe, living and dying together, and sharing weal and woe, can we win over and consolidate the people's hearts and make all the people return to their original hearts and get happiness. Based on this understanding, Liu Tao emphasized that the monarch should be kind to Xiu De and benefit the people, rather than mob, abuse and harm the people for his own benefit. Only in this way can the people help the monarch in the same boat and support him. This thought has also been carried out and realized in the practice of Qi State. This is not available to all other military strategists. It can be seen that the above contents of the book Six Towers are consistent with Jiang Taigong's military strategic thought.

3. Love people's thoughts

The way to love the people is to help the people of Xiu De with the way of benevolence and righteousness, and let them serve the people. As Taigong said, "Respect the public and kiss them. It is the discipline of benevolence and righteousness to respect its people and enjoy its relatives. No one can take away your prestige, because it is clear that let nature take its course. Those who are obedient are virtuous, and those who are rebellious are strong. There is no doubt that there are kimonos in the world. " In other words, we must respect public opinion, love the people, unite with the people, and be benevolent, so that the kimono in the world can defend the country, consolidate the country and rule the world. Therefore, people who conquer the world need not use full-time force, nor should they attack people by violence, but should be based on benevolence and righteousness. Violence is forbidden in Xiu De. This is the highlight that Jiang Taigong and Liu Tao attach importance to Wen Tao rather than military strategy, and regard governing the country and the army as a whole. He governed the country and the people with benevolence, benevolence and education, and obeyed the people's feelings because of the folk customs. This fully shows that the starting point and destination of Jiang Taigong's governance is to love the people. "Liu Tao State Affairs" says: "Tai Gong said:' Benefit without harm, success without defeat, life without killing, peace without taking away, without suffering, and joy without anger. From this perspective, we can easily see that among the military, political and monarchies in the pre-Qin period, only Jiang Taigong had such a profound thought of loving the people. Moreover, it was Jiang Taigong who really put the idea of "loving the people" into practice after the founding of the People's Republic of China. This is Qi's policy of enriching the people.

4, docile subjects thought

Jiang Taigong is well aware of the truth that "the people are the foundation of the country, the will of the people, and the country is rich and strong". Where there are people, there is a country, and without people, there is no country at all. Therefore, he advocates the idea of people-oriented, benevolent and obedient to the people. Obeying the people means "valuing the people" and "valuing the people". If monarchs, officials and officials at all levels do not put people first, but take civil affairs as their service, knocking on the people and harming them, they will alienate, leave and rebel against them. Jiang Taigong deeply understood the people-oriented and people-oriented ideas, and established a firm people-oriented consciousness through his personal experience of living among the people for a long time. Therefore, before he came out to build the country and run the country, he always insisted on people-oriented, implemented benevolent policies, persuaded the people and let all people return to their hearts. On how to keep quiet and stable in the world, Jiang Taigong pointed out: Heaven has its own operating rules, and people have their own daily lives. If you can live in peace with the people, the world will be peaceful and the people will be stable. The best politics is to govern according to the people's will, followed by publicity and education, for the people's feelings. When people are educated and influenced, they will abide by government decrees. Therefore, heaven can do nothing, and people can get rich without giving. This is the noble morality of people governing the world, and it is also the fundamental reason for doing nothing.

5. Meritorious thoughts.

Shang Xian and Juxian in Liu Tao focus on Jiang Taigong's theory of governing the country by sages and its ideological content. The so-called "sages" are people who respect and admire morality and talent. Respecting the virtuous and valuing the meritorious is one of the main contents of Jiang Taigong's "national foundation". Jiang Taigong believes that as a monarch governing the country, we should respect the sages who have both ability and political integrity, and restrain the mediocre people who have no talent and no virtue; Appoint faithful and honest people and get rid of treacherous and hypocritical people; Violence and extravagant customs are prohibited. Therefore, the wise should be alert to six kinds of bad things and seven kinds of bad people. The hazards of six kinds of bad things are: hurting the monarch's morality, culture, power, prestige, minister of meritorious service and Shu Ren's career. Never trust the seven kinds of bad guys, that is, don't let them be generals, don't plot, don't approach, don't spoil, don't let them, don't let them, don't let them. This has blocked the way for bad people to do bad things, endanger the country and endanger the people.

Jiang Taigong pointed out that it is necessary to select talents according to the requirements of the division of functions of officials at all levels, and then examine officials according to the conditions that each official should have, identify their talents, evaluate their abilities and evaluate their achievements, so as to make them worthy of the name. Therefore, we must adhere to the criteria for selecting and appointing talents. Regarding the criteria for selecting and appointing talents, Jiang Taigong put forward "six abilities", namely, benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, faithfulness, courage and resourcefulness, and those who have these six criteria are wise men. Jiang Taigong also believes that the country belongs to sages, aiming at benevolent and virtuous people. If you are virtuous, not benevolent, and use virtuous people, it is only useless in the name of virtuous people. This kind of sage who stays in the name can't get merit and save the chaos. On the contrary, it will make the world more chaotic and even put the country in danger. Therefore, we should be virtuous, virtuous and benevolent.

"Liu Xian" says: "Tai Gong said:' If you get the talent, the country will be rich; Those who fail to gain talents will die weak. After the establishment of Qi State, Jiang Taigong put the idea of "cultivating talents" into one of the founding policies, that is, "cultivating talents and making contributions".

6, six keep three treasures

Jiang Taigong's thought of managing money, enriching people and developing economy is comprehensive, profound and incisive. "Liu Wentao and Liu Taoshou" contains: Taigong said: "A gentleman has six treasures." Six abilities: benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, faithfulness, courage and resourcefulness. Sambo: Big agriculture, big industry and big business are called Sambo. Hometown agriculture, abundant crops; Workers in my hometown have sufficient equipment, and businessmen in my hometown have sufficient goods. The three treasures are in their proper places, and the people are not worried. There is no chaos in my hometown, and there is no chaos at home. No minister is rich in the monarch, and no minister is greater than the country. Sixth, keep prosperity; When the three treasures are finished, the country will be safe. After the founding of Qi, these three treasures were also included in one of the founding policies, that is, "industry and commerce will benefit from fish and salt", and agriculture, industry and commerce will develop at the same time, with the focus on developing industry and commerce. Therefore, later Qi developed or became a big country that enriched the people and strengthened the country.

Jiang Taigong has put forward its own monetary policy on the basis of "paying equal attention to the three treasures", "combining profits at the end", "covering all aspects" and expanding financial resources, so as to ensure the normal circulation of goods and taxes and promote economic development and market prosperity. This economic and monetary policy of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure is indeed the best policy for the country's economic development. Jiang Taigong is well aware of the importance of agriculture, industry and commerce to the national economy and people's livelihood. Without agriculture, food, tools and commodities, this country would be unstable. Therefore, it is necessary to pay equal attention to agriculture, industry and commerce, coordinate development, and make people have jobs, adequate food and clothing, adequate equipment and sufficient financial resources. Jiang Taigong's thought of "Three Treasures" was not only the basic policy of developing economy in Zhou Dynasty, but also laid a political and material foundation for the prosperity of Qi State. This guiding ideology of economic development continues to today's world.

7. Nine Courts Rule

Jiang Taigong's monetary policy is mainly his nine policies and laws. As for the so-called "Nine Houses" method, Yan Shigu noted: "Zhou Guan Mansion, Jade Mansion, Inner Mansion, Outer Mansion, Spring Mansion, Fengzhai, Post Station, Post Gold and Post Coin are all in charge of coins, so they are the clouds of Nine Houses. Hey, it means it's all connected. " The "Nine Courtyards" law established by Jiang Taigong is to ensure the balanced circulation and reasonable entry and exit of commodities by administrative means, so that coins and fabrics can be continuously circulated, properly gathered and dispersed, and there is no shortage. The country is rich and the people are satisfied.

"Nine palaces" are "officials in charge of money and currency". The function of "Nine Houses" in The Book of Rites of Zhou lies in "making money easy to get".

Jiang Taigong's financial and economic policies and financial management system not only established a complete and strict management system for the Zhou Dynasty's economic management, economic supervision, tax collection and goods storage, but also laid the foundation for the prosperity of Qi and the hegemony of Qi Huangong and Guanzhong. Jiang Taigong's way of making money and managing money, that is, the system of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, is the way of enriching the people and strengthening the country, the correct way of governing the country from generation to generation, and the way of governing everything is not easy, so it is an eternal law.

Fourth, the Millennium achievements are praised by later generations.

Jiang Taigong's moral achievements are highly praised and praised by later generations. Some people turned him from a man into a god and listed him as the first of the immortals, saying that he could call the wind and rain and let the immortals serve the ghosts; Some people regard him as the "originator of military strategists"; Qi people call him "the supreme heaven" and so on. Scholars, philosophers and military strategists all expressed their feelings and praised them in poetry theory and military strategy. They either express their ambitions by looking at the historical relics left by Taigong, or extend their theories according to Taigong's deeds, and praise their achievements greatly.

In the Book of Songs, Daming wrote:

The leaves of wood are magnificent, and the sandalwood car is magnificent. Pumbaa is a teacher and a father. It will be cool when you are young. Cutting off big companies will make things clearer.

Among many hymns, "Praise for Marshal Jiang" written by Xu, the author of "Romance of the Gods", is a high summary and evaluation of his life achievements:

Tamia Liu stayed and became king, and the mystery of his coup was not bad.

If you go out, you will enter the industry for a thousand years, and you will be hanged for the people.

The scheming bully Feng and Yang defeated Lao Peng.

The ancient military adviser was the first, with a straightforward reputation and a long Mount Tai.

There are many praises for Jiang Taigong's achievements in his life, not only in poetry, but also in history and literary criticism.

The people of Jiang Taigong not only attach importance to the value of his works and wisdom, but also respect his noble personality and unremitting struggle spirit, and miss his diligent pursuit of justice and civilization. Difficulties, he does not shrink back, does not humiliate, does not bow; Hunger, also ignore; Sinking, he does not yield; Old as he is, he refuses to accept his age, but he is firm in his ideals, beliefs and pursuits. Being ambitious and never too old is a model of "inspirational old people". He will always be the pride and pride of China people.

Qilu culture is the main source of China's traditional ideology and culture, with a long history and a long history, representing the traditional Chinese civilization. In ancient times, two tribes headed by Emperor Yan and Huangdi began to unite. After a long historical development, it has merged into a nation. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, two great historical figures represented the two tribes, one was the descendant of Emperor Yan who was sealed in Qi, and the other was the descendant of the Yellow Emperor who was sealed in Lu. We said that without the military strategy of the Duke of Zhou, it would be difficult to defeat Yin, a "big country" as a "small country week", and even if it was defeated, it would be difficult to consolidate and create such a brilliant civilization of the Zhou Dynasty. Today, with a realistic attitude, we seriously study Jiang Taigong's thoughts and correctly evaluate Jiang Taigong's achievements, which is of great significance for in-depth study and discussion of the history and culture of the Chinese nation, especially Qilu culture as the mainstream.

Textual research on Jiang Taigong's death year

-and the era of Zhou Wenwang and others.

Jiang Taigong was a key figure in the Yin and Zhou Dynasties. In the past, there were various stories about his death, ranging from 80 to 90 years old to 130 years old. The reason is that there are limited literature records and lack of chronology for reference. In addition, there is a similar situation about the age of Zhou Wenwang and others, which is closely related to the study of the death of Taigong. Now, the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties dating project has found a "lost chronology", which we can use for new exploration. At the same time, because our research can only be regarded as the "surplus" of dating projects, it can also play a role in testing the correctness and applicability of the "New Year's Table" from one side.

First, the general scope of squire's death

Historical materials before the Spring and Autumn Period, such as Shangshu, Yijing, Shijing, Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Jinwen, etc. There is no explicit reference to the age of Taigong. From the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty, Jiang Taigong, who met Zhou Wenwang for the first time, was described as an old man, although the degree of describing the old man was different. For example, Xunzi and Biography of Han Poems said that when I first met King Wen, Taigong was "my wife was seventy-two years old, but her teeth fell out." "Wei Liaozi" said that "King Tai Gong" was in his seventies and "met Wang Wen". Mencius said: Taigong and Shuqi are "two old people, the oldest in the world." "Songs of the South" said: "Tai Gong is ninety years old, and I have never met him." "Historical Records" said: "Gai Taigong died for more than a hundred years." Huainanzi said: "Lu merchants make the old people excited, and care makes the baby stubborn." Respect each other by class. " In Shuo Yuan, there are Tai Gong Wang's Seventy Years Week, Ninety Years Qi, etc.

However, I recently read an article on the Internet entitled "Longevity of Jiang Taigong" (see Xinxiang Historical and Cultural Column), but I have a completely different view. The article says:

Gu Jiegang's "The Birthday of Tai Gong Wang" holds that the life span recorded in ancient documents was all nonsense by tourists from Qi State during the Warring States Period. The original meaning of "squire" is "grandfather", but later generations mistakenly think that squire means longevity, just as Peng Zu's name has "Zu" and Laozi's name has "Lao", so they mistakenly think that Peng Zu and Laozi are old people over 800 years old. Moreover, judging from the war scenes and bravery described in the Book of Songs Daming, a 90-year-old man can't do it. Therefore, Gu Jiegang speculated that Jiang Taigong was about 30 years old at the time of Makino War, and finally he was about 80 years old.

We believe that in order to deeply study the specific cause of death of the squire, it is necessary to have a general scope first. We find it hard to believe that "Jiang Taigong was about 30 years old at the time of Makino War, and the last 80 years old" for at least four obvious reasons:

First of all, it is inappropriate to say that Taigong's longevity is "all nonsense from tourists from the Warring States and Qi". As we mentioned earlier, Xunzi, Wei Liaozi, Mencius and Qu Yuan were all Warring States people, all of whom said that Taigong lived a long life, but none of them were "Qi Guo You Shi".

Secondly, only according to the description of the poem "Wei Shi, Wei Yingyang" in the Book of Songs, it is considered that "I was about thirty years old at the time of Makino War", which is obviously too much imagination. Countless people have fought on the battlefield in history. Moreover, I am afraid that the key to the word "eagle flying" is to implement the word "rate"; Taigong himself does not have to "take the lead".

Third, there is a saying that "I was about 30 years old at the time of Makino War", which actually means that I met King Wen at about 20 years old. This is not only incompatible with other classics, but also unreasonable. For example, where did Taigong's experience and strategy come from? How to explain "Lu Ya is in Yin" and "Taigong avoids Zhou and lives on the coast of the East China Sea"? In particular, Taigong's daughter is "Princess Zhou" (detailed later), and there is no landing.

Fourthly, in Historical Records of Qi Taigong Family, it is said that "the death of Gai Taigong lasted for more than a hundred years", which is even worse than that of Xunzi and Qu Yuan.
