Jiang Taigong is here, and the gods abdicate!
In life, we often see a note that reads "Jiang Taigong is here, and the gods abdicate!" ”
Especially in the new house, there is a note in the center of the living room that reads this.
The literal meaning of this sentence is not difficult to understand, Jiang Taigong is Jiang Ziya, Jiang Ziya is here, the gods will hurry up.
When Jiang Ziya came, the other gods were about to withdraw, why was he so bullish? So what kind of god is Jiang Ziya?
After Jiang Ziya overthrew the Shang Dynasty, he took the list of conferred gods and began to canonize the gods, there were three hundred and sixty-five road gods in the heavens, Jiang Ziya sealed three hundred and sixty-four roads, and only one Lu Yu Emperor did not seal.
Jiang Ziya actually had selfish intentions and wanted to seal this Jade Emperor to himself and keep the best for himself.
After the other gods were sealed, there was still the Jade Emperor who was not sealed, and the immortals began to shout, "Can you seal this Jade Emperor or not?" Is there anyone else sitting? ”
Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "Of course I sealed it, someone must come to sit." ”
As soon as these words came out, one person stood up and became the Jade Emperor.
Jiang Ziya was also puzzled, so he asked, "Who are you?" ”
The man said, "I am Youren, don't you mean to let Youren (someone) sit on the Jade Emperor, I am!" ”
After Jiang Ziya listened, his face turned green, and I said that someone was referring to me, not Youren.
However, Jiang Ziya's words had already been spoken, and he could no longer take them back, so Zhang Youren became the Jade Emperor and picked up the leak.
The three hundred and sixty-five gods had all been sealed, and there was no place left for Jiang Ziya.
Jiang Ziya had no place to go, so he could only hide on the beam. When people were building houses and picking up beams, they were always worried that they occupied the place of the gods and disturbed the gods, so they wrote "Jiang Taigong is here, and the gods abdicate!" "Borrowing the name of Jiang Taigong, he dispersed the gods and ghosts."
Of course, this is a folk custom and belief, Jiang Ziya did not live on the beam. After the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Tianzi was divided into princes, and Jiang Ziya worked hard and made high achievements, and was sealed in the State of Qi, becoming the first prince of the State of Qi, and he was the founder of Qi culture.
Jiang Ziya is an outstanding politician and military figure, known as the "originator of a hundred families", and has always been highly respected by posterity.
