Why didn't Jiang Ziya become a god on the list of gods?

Jiang Ziya is the first military strategist in the history of China and the first famous military strategist in the history of China. In the process of Zhou Wenwang and Zhou Wuwang, Jiang Ziya's decision played a decisive role.

Jiang Ziya, also known as Jiang Taigong and Lu Shang, is a very dramatic historical figure. He wasted the first half of his life and achieved nothing, but surprisingly, at the age of 80, he met Ji Chang unexpectedly in Zhou Wenwang, and was appreciated by Zhou Wenwang, who helped Zhou Wenwang destroy business.

Jiang Ziya's experience is incredible in the eyes of ordinary people. Perhaps it is because of his legendary life and Jiang Ziya's erudition and foresight that he is a man of great wisdom. Therefore, later generations like to write him into novels, and we have a familiar image of the God List.

Jiang Ziya is a legend in itself. Because of the long history, his life story has not been recorded in history books, and there are different opinions about his birthplace and life, which makes Jiang Ziya more and more mysterious. For example, Li Daoyuan said in Notes on Water Classics that Jiang Ziya was a native of the East China Sea and a descendant of the Shang Dynasty style, but the style should be located in Shaanxi. However, historical records also make the origin of Jiang Ziya unknown. Sima Qian admitted that "Lu Shang Chu Shi lived in a secluded seaside", but did not say whether the seaside was his birthplace. However, it is inferred that Jiang Taigong was born by the sea.

As mentioned earlier, Jiang Ziya spent the first half of his life in mediocrity. Like ordinary people, he worries about rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea every day. He also wandered in the fields. When he was middle-aged, he sold wine and flour in Chao Ge, as well as pigs and sheep. Unfortunately, he lost money. He has no business sense at all. However, Jiang Taigong, who looks clumsy, has the ambition to care about the world. Although he was ridiculed and satirized by his wife Ma Shi, it didn't kill his ambition to work hard for it. In troubled times, Jiang Ziya was very concerned about state affairs. When he saw that Zhou Wang was dissolute, he lobbied the governors everywhere. He simply lived in seclusion in a place called Panxi on the north bank of Weishui, devoted himself to practice, studied the way of governing the country with peace of mind, and cared about the world at the same time.

Jiang Ziya lived in poverty when he was young. In his later years, he lived in seclusion in Weishui and fished with a straight hook to attract Zhou Wenwang. Zhou Wenwang had divined before his trip, and divination showed that he would get a talent that could help him succeed in his career. Therefore, when Zhou Wenwang traveled in Wei River and met an old fisherman, he said, "Since I am the first gentleman, the squire said,' When there are saints, it is appropriate to make Zhou Changsheng. I've been looking forward to my son for a long time, hence the name' looking forward to my son', and everything belongs to me. "Chatted, found that is the case. I was very happy to go to the palace with Jiang Ziya. Jiang Ziya's decades of cultivation have lived up to expectations. He assisted Zhou Wenwang and Zhou Wuwang to destroy the business in one fell swoop and became a late bloomer.

Jiang Ziya not only made great achievements in military affairs, but also was an expert in governing the country. According to historical records, "Taigong revised the rule of the country because of its vulgarity, simplicity and courtesy, and changed the interests of fish and salt with merchants, while the people returned to Qi". Qi was a big country at that time. Under the governance of Jiang Ziya, Qi became a big country with developed economy and convenient transportation. According to historical records, Jiang Ziya died in Haojing, the capital of Zhou Dynasty in Zhou Kangwang, for six years, and lived for 65,430 years.

According to the mythical legend, Jiang Ziya was only blessed by the world of mortals, and it was Master Yuan Tianzun who ordered him to go down the mountain to enjoy the splendor of the world, so he could not be deified like Excavate and Yang Jian, but became a god in the future, and the gods sealed by Jiang Ziya were all dead or immortals on the battlefield, that is, ghosts.

According to folklore, it's not that Jiang Ziya didn't want to be immortal, but that he wanted to be the biggest immortal-the Jade Emperor, so he secretly left the position of the Jade Emperor for himself on the altar, but a man named "Zhang Youren" guessed Jiang Ziya's selfishness in advance, and he hid under the seal of Jiang Ziya. Jiang Ziya sealed the deity but not the jade emperor, so a fairy asked him why he didn't seal the jade emperor. Who will be the Jade Emperor? Jiang Ziya faltered and said, "Don't worry, there are people naturally.". At this moment, Zhang Youren, who was hiding in the audience, quickly jumped out and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for coming.". Although Jiang Ziya has some atmosphere, it is no joke to seal the gods, so we have to seal the position of the Jade Emperor to "Zhang Youren". Everything was doomed before the gods, and Jiang Ziya also missed the position of the immortal.
