Where is Kunming ┃ Jiang Shang from?

Jiang Shang's birthplace has always been controversial. According to historical records, he is a "master of the East China Sea" and Zhu is called "King Taigong, a native of Hanoi". Some people think that Jiang Shang is from Linquan, Anhui, while others think that he is from Shilou, Shanxi.

I wonder if Koreans have different views?

There is a passage in the Book of Changes Kun Gua: "A gentleman has friends, who are fascinated first, then gain and benefit. Friends in the southwest, friends in the northeast. Ji. "Translated into vernacular Chinese:" A gentleman goes to a distant place to develop an exhibition, first confusing and then understanding the Lord, and it will be smooth! You can meet like-minded people when you go to the southwest, but you will lose like-minded people when you go to the northeast. Divination is settled, auspicious! " This is a part of the divination made by Jiang Shang soothsayers before, so it helps readers to understand this divination.

Jiang Shang and Suo Suo did not go west immediately after reaching an agreement to destroy business, but stayed at home to work for Xiqiao. As a top soothsayer, Jiang Shang will meet some people who ask about their future. For some available talents, Jiang Shang's divination result is that he can't go to the northeast (Chao Ge), but to the southwest (Xiqi). It can be seen that our home is in the southwest and the northeast of Xiqi, and only Weihui (Hebei) in Henan meets this condition.

It may be that the fortune teller still has a problem, and he is relieved when he is completely clear, so he has the following problem.

God's support for divination is beneficial to the mare's fate. In ancient culture, Zhongtian was the inheritor, the public was the inheritor, the official was the monarch, and Kun was the minister. The chastity of a horse is the chastity of a courtier.

The fortune teller asked first: How long will it take me from here to next week?

Jiang Shang told him: Starting from the frost, it will be the time for thick ice to form.

How long is this? It takes about three months from "first frost" to "great cold". That is to say, in the last years of Shang Dynasty, it took three months to walk from Weihui to Qishan County today, which was completely reliable! This proves once again that Jiang Shang is a beggar.

The fortune teller asked the second question: What kind of place is Zhou? Can I get used to it? Will it be bad for me?

Answer: Zhou is a just country. You won't get used to it, but it won't hurt.

The soothsayer's third question: Can someone like me go? what can I do? Can you do that?

Jiang Shang replied: You are brilliant and fit to obey God's will; Going to Xiqiao can imitate Zhou Wang's work, but it can't be done, but it will have a good result.

"Success" refers to the acquisition of fiefs and the hereditary replacement. Jiang Shang doesn't mean that he can succeed, or that he can't, but that it's up to Zhou Wang to decide whether to succeed or lose, and it's best to benefit from him. Theocracy cannot infringe the kingship, otherwise the relationship with Zhou Wang will be difficult to deal with in the future.

We can also know from this passage that Ji Chang is king at this time. First, Ji Chang called the king to rebel, and then the prince attacked. Some people think that Ji Chang did not claim to be king before his death, which is completely wrong.

The fortune teller asked the fourth question: What will happen if I don't help Zhou Wang?

Jiang Shang: There is nothing wrong with not helping, but you won't gain fame.

To wrap a bag means to tie it up, which means not to support or help.

Fortune teller's fifth question: What color clothes should I wear?

Jiang Shang replied: Yellow is the best color.

Different tribes have different preferences for colors, such as black, blue and yellow.

The soothsayer asked the sixth question: Why is yellow good?

Jiang Shang: Dragons fight in the wilderness. Their blood is dark yellow.

Because yellow is the color of dragon blood, it is auspicious, which is Jiang Shang's explanation. Chao Ge and Xiqi belong to the Chinese people, and their totem is a dragon.

This sentence also reminds us that the "dragon" in China culture is an animal that still existed at the end of Shang Dynasty and later became extinct. Jiang Shang said that "dragons fight in the wild, and their blood is mysterious and yellow". He must have seen the dragon fighting scene.

Pure Yin divination, good luck, Jiang Shang finally wants to send a concentrated secret to the diviner, the most important word is "Li Yongzhen"-always obeying God's will and unswervingly supporting Da Zhou. Judging from the conclusion, Jiang Shang is still uneasy about the firmness of the soothsayer.

This vivid divination is "a fool sends a talent", and San Yisheng, Yao Hong and others may have been recommended by Jiang Shang to work in Xiqiao.
