In the history of our country, there is a very famous politician and military expert, who fished with a hookless fishing rod, so an idiom was derived: Jiang Taigong fishing, willing to take the bait. This person is Jiang Ziya, who is not fishing for fishing, but to catch the princely general. Later, as he wished, he caught King Wen of Zhou, and with the help of Jiang Ziya, King Wen of Zhou established a state and destroyed the Shang Dynasty. Jiang Ziya had a book in his life, that is, "Liutao", which is a book of soldiers, also known as the "Book of Heaven", but its authenticity has always been debated. In a Han Dynasty tomb in Shandong, archaeologists have found many books, which are all pre-Qin scripts, initially inferred to be pre-Qin books, in which Jiang Ziya's "Heavenly Book" appears.
These Qin Jian are relatively well preserved, so experts have been able to decipher their contents. When experts deciphered Qin Jian, they found the "Heavenly Book" "Liutao", and after interpretation, archaeologists found that the content of this book was really shocking, and it was not the same as the version handed down in history. So the content of this ancient book has not been published so far, although "Liutao" is not a lost ancient book, but the initial version of "Liutao" has not appeared, in history handed down "Liutao" is mostly adapted by posterity, not written by Jiang Ziya, so the content will have some differences.
There are a total of 237 articles in "Liutao", which mainly deals with various aspects of the war, and can be said to be an encyclopedia of war. Jiang Ziya's study of war is very in-depth, so there are many strategic and tactical theories in "Liutao", Jiang Ziya is an outstanding military expert, and many of the military books he wrote are very useful military ways, which is also a must-read for soldiers at that time. The book is based on Jiang Ziya's dialogues with King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou, and contains many strategies, strategies, and military techniques, and more about tactics. It can be said that this is the originator of all the military theory books in later generations.
"Liutao" is not only welcomed by Chinese militarists, but also by militarists of various countries in the world. In the 16th century, it began to spread overseas and even spread to Europe. In China, "Liutao" has also been valued by many military experts and politicians in history, such as Zhuge Liang, Sun Quan, Zhang Liang and others, it can be said that in Chinese military books, the status of "Liutao" is very high. This is a collection of military books in the pre-Qin period, which has always been valued by many countries, and China in the pre-Qin period was also very powerful, who does not want to learn their powerful laws?
The earliest "conspiracy theory" is also from "Liutao", so many people in later generations have printed various versions of "Liutao", and it is impossible to know which one is closer to the real "Liutao". After archaeologists saw the "Liutao" excavated from this Han tomb, they not only marveled that this book was really amazing! In fact, Jiang Ziya not only wrote "Liutao" in this life, he also wrote a "Book of Zhou" to govern the country, in order to better assist the king. Later, Jiang Ziya established the State of Qi, and with the help of this book, the development of the State of Qi was also increasingly powerful, and finally occupied a place in the era of the division of the masses.
Jiang Ziya, this legendary figure, has left too many legends for future generations, who can think of the famous Jiang Ziya in history, born in a corrupt official family, although Jiang Ziya was very poor in his youth, but he studied very hard, and from time to time he also helped his family sell beef, and Jiang Ziya, who was half cold, ushered in a turning point in his life at the age of 72 and became a well-known strategist, politician, and military in history. All this is the result of Jiang Ziya's lifelong efforts, who could have imagined that a person who has been at home all his life actually has such a majestic strategy in his heart? Fortunately, King Wen of Zhou took the bait, and this hook changed the trajectory of history, which is really impressive.
