Jiang Taigong fishing in two-part allegorical sayings

Jiang Shang was ordered to be punctual, so he set up a hook in the Weihe River to catch fish. He was three feet above the water and had no bait. He said to himself, "The unlucky people will take the bait!" "

Interpretation of "squire", that is, Jiang Shang in the early Zhou Dynasty, also known as Jiang Ziya. Jiang Taigong fished with a hook instead of bait. If he wanted to fish, he would fish by himself. Metaphor is willing to trap yourself.

Taigong, surnamed Jiang, whose name is Lu Shang, is the minister who assisted and destroyed Shang. When he was not reused by King Wen, he lived in seclusion in a place near Weishui, Shaanxi. Li Na was an area ruled by Ji Chang (Zhou Wenwang), the leader of the Zhou Dynasty. He hopes to arouse Ji Chang's attention to himself and build his own achievements.

Taigong often hangs a clock by Fanxi. Most people fish with a hook, and the bait is behind the hook, and then they sink into the water to lure the fish into the bait. But Taigong's hook is straight, there is no bait on it, it does not sink into the water, and it is three feet away from the water. As he held the fishing rod high, he said to himself, "Fish that don't want to live, if you want, take the bait yourself!"

One day, a woodcutter came to the stream and saw Taigong fishing with a straight hook on the water without bait. He said to him, "Old man, you can't catch a fish in 100 years!" "

Taigong raised his fishing rod and said, "To tell you the truth! I don't want to catch fish, but I want to catch the king and the marquis! "

Taigong's peculiar fishing method finally spread to Ji Chang. When Ji Chang found out, he sent soldiers to call him. But the squire ignored the soldiers and only cared about fishing by himself, saying to himself, "Fishing, fishing, fish don't bite, shrimp make trouble!" " "After listening to the soldier's report, Ji Chang sent an official to invite the squire. However, Taigong still didn't answer. He said while fishing: "Fishing, fishing, big fish don't bite, small fish don't make trouble!" " "

Ji Chang realized that the fisherman must be a talent and should invite him personally. So I ate vegetarian food for three days, took a shower and changed clothes, and went to Fanxi to hire Taigong with a generous gift. Seeing that he sincerely hired himself, Taigong agreed to work for him.

Later, Jiang Shang assisted King Wen to build a prosperous country, and also helped Ji Fa, the son of King Wen, to destroy the business, and was made a marquis by King Wu in the State of Qi, thus realizing his desire to make contributions.

The story of King Wu's cutting Zhou: "Because of punctuality, I hooked the fish in the Weihe River straight, three feet above the water surface, and said to myself,' The unlucky people will catch it!'" "After the" squire fishing, the original bite "metaphor willing to trap.

At this time, he was sealed in Lu or Shen, surnamed Jiang. In Xia and Shang Dynasties, Shen and Lu were either descendants of the Book of the Wind, or descendants of the Miao people. Surnamed Jiang, from his surname, called Lu Shang.

Lu Shang changed to poor and old, and raped Zhou Xibo by fishing. Xibo is going hunting. He said, "What you get is neither Longkou nor Tiger's Mouth; The assistant of the overlord. " So Zhou Xibo hunted, and if he met Tai Gong on the day of Weishui, he said to Da, "Since the ancestor Tai Gong said,' When there are saints, Zhou Yixing is also". Are children really evil? I have been looking forward to my son for a long time. "Therefore, the name is called" King Tai Gong ",which carries everything and makes him a teacher.
