When Zhou Wuwang died at the age of 93 and 90, he made a personal adventure! How old should Zhou Wuwang be?

As a man of the hour in the alternation of Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Jiang Ziya's age has always been a mystery, ranging from eighty or ninety to 130.

The reason is that history books have different descriptions of the age when Jiang Ziya and Zhou Wenwang met. Some people say that he met Zhou Wenwang in his seventies, while others say that he met Zhou Wenwang in his nineties. In modern times, Gu Jigang thinks that Jiang Ziya met Zhou Wenwang in his twenties, and so on. At the same time, Zhou Wenwang's chronology is also a mystery. The only reference for studying Jiang Ziya's age is Zhou Wenwang Chronology.

As a result, the age of Jiang Ziya was not clear, and the ancients held their own words.

With the continuous emergence of underground cultural relics and the continuous advancement of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties dating project, the age truth of Jiang Ziya has slowly surfaced, which makes people feel that Jiang Ziya is really a legend.

Jiang Ziya was born in Lu. He is a descendant of Emperor Yan. He used to be a butcher and run a hotel. Is there any speculation in Historical Records? In other words, the squire has heard and witnessed many things.

If you can't help it, just go. Lobbying the prince, nothing happened? It is pointed out that Jiang Ziya may be an official of Shang Dynasty, but later he lobbied the vassals and didn't see the democratic leader.

After wasting some time, Jiang Ziya is getting old. Later, he heard that Zhou Wenwang was a wise master, so he fished along the Weihe River and met Ji Chang who was hunting outside.

At that time, before hunting, Ji Chang divined a divination, which said: The prey is neither a dragon nor a thorn, nor a tiger nor a bear; The income is the assistant minister who achieved the hegemony.

Ji Chang went hunting, so he met Jiang Ziya on the north bank of Weihe River. After talking with Jiang Ziya, Ji Chang was overjoyed. He thinks that he has the talent that Zhou people have been looking forward to for a long time, so he is called Jiang Ziya? Ty Wang Gong? , two people go home by car together, for a surname.

How old is Jiang Ziya at this time? Jiang Taigong, who met Zhou Wenwang for the first time, was described as an old man in the documents of the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties. Although the description of old age is different, the overall basic framework is over 70 years old, and the record in Wei Liaozi is over 70? See King Wen? Jiang Ziya in Xunzi? My wife is seventy years old, but she has lost her teeth. When I met Zhou Wenwang, the historical records said? Taigong has been doing benevolence and righteousness for 72 years. When he meets King Wen, he will keep his word. .

In a word, according to historical records, Jiang Ziya knew Zhou Wenwang at the age of 70.

But what did the ancients say? Seventy? May mainly mean that Jiang Ziya was already old? The biggest promise? That mysterious number is not necessarily seventy years old, so you can float down 10 years old? About 20 years old.

Moreover, even if many people look very old today, ordinary people in ancient times may not know their birth time, so it is possible? Judge a book by its cover? .

But the problem is that the history books do not directly record the year when Jiang Ziya and Zhou Wenwang met. King Wen reigned for fifty years? (or fifty-one years in office) and controversial, naturally it is difficult to judge how much Jiang Ziya lived. Therefore, to explore the age of Jiang Ziya, we must first determine one? Reference? , is the situation in Zhou Wenwang.
