5,000 years of China: Jiang Taigong fishing

After Pan Geng's death, 11 more kings passed, and finally the throne passed to Lu

He was the emperor's younger son. At this time, a patriarchal system centered on the legal and the common people had initially taken shape, that is, the establishment of a legal but not long-lasting patriarchal system. Emperor Huan's rightful wife was born and was established as a prince. Smart, strong, brave. He can fight the beast with his bare hands, speak wisely, and be proud of his talents After Emperor Yi's death, he succeeded to the throne

The king liked to be debauched and drink, and built many gardens and pavilions. The king of Lu favored the beautiful Daji, and He did whatever Daji asked him to do; he built a "deer platform" on a high place and ordered the musician Juan to dance obscene and strange dances such as "Zhaoli Dance" and "Decadent Music"; he also "used wine as a pool and meat as a forest", drinking and playing day and night, ignoring the government, and not sacrificing ghosts and gods. He has become a rare ignorant monarch

The immorality of the king caused resentment among the people and the divorce of the princes. In order to revive the prestige of the emperor, King Zhou made a "scorching method": a hollow copper pillar, made of bronze, burned charcoal in the middle, and burned copper pillar red. Anyone who dared to talk about his or her rights and wrongs would be chained to a copper pillar and burned to death.

The I Ching is a book of divination that falls within the category of religious theology. In the late Shang Dynasty, on oracle bones, bronzes and pottery, yi gua recorded in numbers appeared. This kind of digital gua is the predecessor of "Zhou Yi".

The brutal tyranny of The Shang Dynasty hastened the demise of the Shang Dynasty. At this time, the Zhou people in the west were becoming more and more prosperous

Zhou Ben is an ancient tribe. At the end of the summer, this tribe was active in Shaanxi and Gansu. Later, in order to avoid the invasion of nomadic tribes such as Rong and Di, the father of the Zhou leader Gu Gongyu led the Zhou people to move to the Qishan Plain (now the northeast of Qishan County, Shaanxi Province) to settle down When the Zhou leader passed to Ji Chang, the grandson of Gu Gongyu's father (later known as King Wen of Zhou), the Zhou clan was already very powerful, which posed a great threat to the Shang Dynasty. Therefore, the King of Zhou sent people to keep King Wen of Zhou in his home (present-day Tangyin County, Henan Province). The nobles of the Zhou tribe presented many beautiful women, horses and treasures to the King of Zhou. Before they redeemed King Wen of Zhou, they also sent many gifts to the trusted ministers of King Zhou, and king Wen of Zhou saw that King Zhou was ignorant and cruel, and the people were mad and decided to attack the Shang Dynasty. However, he lacked a man of military talent to help him lead the war. He began to pay attention to the search for such talents

One day, King Wen of Zhou took his son and soldiers to the north bank of the Weishui River to hunt. On the edge of the Wei River, an old man sits by the river fishing. When a large group of people passed by, the old man remained indifferent and still fished quietly. King Wen was surprised. He got out of the car, walked over to the old man, and talked to him

After the conversation, I learned that his name was Jiang Shang (also called Lü Shang), "Lü" was the fiefdom of his ancestors) and an expert in the art of war. Therefore, King Wen of Zhou asked Jiang Shang to return to the palace with him

Because King Wen's grandfather had hoped that someone would help the Zhou people get rich, and Jiang Shang was such a person, people later called him Taigong Wang; in folklore, he was also called Jiang Taigong

Prince Taigong, as an assistant to King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty, developed production and trained soldiers and horses. The power of the Zhou clan is increasing. Within a few years, most of the area under the shang dynasty was gradually occupied by the Zhou, and more and more tribes were subordinate to King Wen. However, just as King Wen of Zhou was planning to attack King Huan, he died of illness.
