Is the ruling time of the Zhou Dynasty really determined by the steps taken by King Wen to pull Jiang Ziya?

This is a folklore, it can't be true. How can the rule time of a dynasty be decided by individuals? This statement is for the sake of myth Jiang Ziya!

1. Jiang Taigong fishes, those who want to take the bait.

Xibo Hou Jichang returned to China after being imprisoned by Yin for three years. He wanted to strengthen Zhou's power and needed to find talents to help him. Jichang is lucky. If he wants to sleep, someone gives him a pillow! First, he had a dream that he was holding a flying bear in his arms. After waking up, Ji Chang calculated that this was a good omen, which indicated that he would meet a talented person who had been longing for a long time. But where can I find it in the vast sea of people?

There was no internet in ancient times, so it was impossible to send recruitment information. Ji Chang was puzzled when he heard that there was a strange old man fishing by the Wei River. How strange is it? Others use a hook to fish, but he uses a straight hook. Other people's hooks have bait, but his hooks have no bait; When someone else's hook is put into the water, his hook is still three feet away from the water. Others said he was a stupid old man, but he said, I didn't catch a fish, it was a prince! This is the origin of the idiom "Jiang Taigong fishes and the willing takes the bait".

2. Zhou Wenwang pulled the cart and walked 800 steps.

After Ji Chang heard the news, he personally took people to see Jiang Ziya by the Wei River. When they met and chatted, Ji Chang found that Jiang Ziya knew astronomy above and geography below and politics and military below. Absolutely a talent! What is the most expensive? Talent is the most expensive! Ji Chang invited Jiang Ziya to help himself with the Zhou tribe. Jiang Ziya asked Ji Chang to pull the rickshaw himself, so he would come to the door. Hou Jichang, a Xibe nationality, was eager for talents, so he asked Jiang Taigong to get on the bus and leave. Ji Chang drove the car to Sila, walked 30 1 step in one breath, and then suddenly fell down. I feel dizzy. When I got up, Xibohou found that I was going in the wrong direction. I walked 507 steps to the east in a daze, and finally I was exhausted and collapsed on the road. Jiang Taigong said, "Oh, my God! Xibohou, once you take 808 steps, the Zhou Dynasty will exist for 808 years. "

Wang Wen only listened for more than 800 years, and he regretted it very much. He wanted to continue pulling the rickshaw, but Jiang Ziya said, "How many days have passed! Rise and fall, life and death, each has a destiny, is it a child's play! " So the "Western Zhou" has 30 1 year, while the "Eastern Zhou" has 507 years and the Zhou Dynasty has a history of 808 years.

3. Jiang Ziya in history

Jiang Ziya, also known as Jiang Shang, is from the East China Sea. His ancestors used to be officials of Sishan and helped Yu Xia to control water and soil. When Jiang Ziya was born, his family had declined, so when Jiang Ziya was young, he worked as a butcher who slaughtered cattle and sold meat, and also opened a hotel to sell wine to make a living. However, Jiang Ziya people are not lacking in ambition. Whether they are slaughtering cattle or doing business, they always study astronomy, geography and military strategies tirelessly, and study the way to run the country and make it safe, hoping to display their talents for the country one day. But until they are 70 years old, they are still useless and live at home.

Some people say that Jiang Ziya is knowledgeable and once worked for Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Shang and Zhou had no choice, so Jiang Ziya left. Lobbying the governors of other countries, I don't know who I met, and finally I went west to Ji Chang. Jiang Ziya helped Ji Chang accumulate good Xiu De, and urged Ji Chang to contact other dissatisfied vassal States to pay tribute to Zhou Wang, thus making Zhou Wang relax its vigilance; Adopt the policy of loving the people internally, advocate production and train the army. Ji Chang also crusaded against some small countries and built Fengyi on a large scale. Two-thirds of the princes in the world took refuge in Zhou, which was mostly the result of squire's planning.

Ji Fa wanted to continue the great cause of Ji Chang, and decided to attack Dongyi in Shang Zhouwang, and when the capital was empty, he joined forces with the governors to attack Shang Dynasty. Jiang Ziya selected 300 personnel carriers, 3,000 warriors and 45,000 soldiers to form a cutting force. When Ji Fa sent his troops, he thought the tortoise was unlucky. On the March, another storm happened, and the determination of Ji Fa and his ministers was once shaken. Jiang Ziya through the crowd, enhance the confidence of chop weeks. The two sides fought a battle in Konoha. Although the number of merchants was large, their morale was lax. They all defected in the end. Ji Fa, the king of Wu, destroyed the Shang Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty through the battle of Makino. Because of Jiang Ziya's outstanding achievements in prospering the Zhou Dynasty and destroying the business, he was first awarded the title of establishing Qi State in the Diqi Yingqiu to stabilize the East.

The Zhou Dynasty was founded in 1046 BC and divided into two stages: the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Until it was destroyed by Qin in 255 BC, * * * lasted for 8 15 years. As for Wen Wang's 808 steps, the statement that the Zhou Dynasty existed for 808 years is completely the postscript of future generations!
