Interpretation of Jiang Taigong's fishing classical Chinese

Jiang Taigong goes fishing-he who wishes takes the bait. Jiang Shang is fishing by the Weihe River. He fished with a straight hook without bait. Any fish willing to take the bait will take the bait by itself. Metaphor is willing to let others fall into his trap.

This allusion comes from Wu Wang's "Bian Ping Hua". The original text is as follows:

The next day, King Wen took office in Weishui and saw Bai Weng hanging alone. King Wen regarded him as a man with white hair and beard and extraordinary wisdom. Doubt it. A casual look shows that its hook is straight and does not bend, and there is no bait hanging down. Wang Wenqi called it with a smile. Weng Yan said, "Jiang Shang is punctual. He sets a hook to fish in Weishui, three feet away from the water, with no bait. He said to himself, "If you can't live, you must take the bait!" " "

Translation:

One day, Zhou Wenwang drove his son and soldiers to the north bank of Weishui for hunting. By the Weihe River, he saw an old man with gray hair sitting by the river fishing. His fishing method is very strange, short and long. The line is tied with bamboo hooks and no bait is needed. King Wen looked very strange, so he got out of the car and chatted with him with a smile. The old man said, "Jiang Shang fishes. The fishing rod is three feet above the water. Those who want to be hooked. " After some conversation, I know that his name is Jiang Shang, and he is an artist who is proficient in the art of war. King Wen was very happy, so he asked Jiang Shang to go back to the palace together. Jiang Shang assisted King Wen, prospered the country and founded the country, and helped Zhou Wuwang Ji Fa, the son of Ji Chang, destroy the business. I was also sealed in the state of Qi by King Wu, and my desire to make contributions was realized. Jiang Ziya caught a "big fish waiting for the king".
