Where did Diaoyutai come from?

Sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, which comes from the historical allusion of "Jiang Ziya fishing and visiting Xi 'an" in the immortal table, as follows:

The fishing place in Jiang Ziya is called Diaoyutai. Jiang Ziya knew through divination that he would be activated by Zhou Wenwang, so he went to the river every day to "sit on the Diaoyutai" for fishing, actually waiting for Zhou Wenwang. As a result, Zhou Wenwang went hunting and met, and they hit it off. Zhou Wenwang listened to Jiang Ziya and Kan Kan's talk about the strategy of governing the country and keeping the country safe, and praised him, so he returned home with a full load, honored himself as the "squire king" and made him a "Taishi" in charge of the military.

Extended data

From the story of sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, we can clearly see the uniqueness and superiority of Zhou Wenwang's way of employing people, as well as several basic principles of his way of employing people:

First, the eye knows people, and we should foster strengths and avoid weaknesses in use.

Before "Wang Wen visited Xian", no one really realized the value of Jiang Ziya. When Shangdu was singing, Shang Zhouwang tried to arrest him, which made him flee everywhere. When visiting Xi 'an on behalf of King Wen, Jiang Ziya thought that Jiang Ziya was old and white-haired, which prevented him from visiting Xi 'an. However, Zhou Wenwang has a good eye for people. He believes that the prosperity of Zhou needs talents, and only talents can achieve great things.

Second, heart-to-heart, deepen understanding in conversation.

Zhou Wenwang enjoys high prestige among the governors. He learned the lesson of the failure of King Wu's trip to Xi 'an. When he went fishing in Jiang Ziya, he put down the king's airs, sat on the floor, kneecaps, and talked intimately. Soon, the topic turned to the general plan of military operations and governing the country, and it was found that Jiang Ziya was the human genius he wanted so much.

Third, be honest with each other and bend down to touch the world.

After the Shang Dynasty fled back to Xiqiao, it was determined to prosper Zhou and destroy Shang. Through heart-to-heart conversation, he found that Jiang Ziya was knowledgeable, well-governed, and had a brief encounter. Seeing Jiang Ziya's white hair, he felt distressed. He blamed himself for being careless and wasting ten years of precious time. To show his guilt and apology, he got off the bus in person and bent down to pull the fiber for Jiang Ziya's carriage to show his frankness.

Fourth, use people without doubt, and use them boldly.

Zhou Wenwang found that Jiang Ziya was a genius with both ability and political integrity in the world. He felt that Jiang Ziya had both ability and political integrity, so he could let go of his hands and feet and use them boldly. Taking moral character, knowledge, ability and performance as the important criteria to measure talents, regardless of seniority and status, we decided to employ people in an eclectic way, and we should worship Jiang Ziya as a teacher and put him above Xiqiao's most important position.
