Liu Bowen and Jiang Ziya, heroes who have a dialogue across thousands of years

author:Singing the poem of the bright moon

Liu Bowen's name is a household name, his life is full of legends, he is not only an outstanding politician, an excellent military strategist, but also a talented poet. Berwyn is his character, his name is Liu Ji, known as one of the three masters of poetry and literature in the early Ming Dynasty, this person is familiar with astronomy and geography, and is full of strategy.

Later generations called "Zhuge Liang in three parts of the world, and Liu Bowen in the whole country", which shows that his literary and martial arts are extraordinary!

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, in troubled times, Liu Ji lived in seclusion in the mountains.

One day, Liu Bowen saw a painting, which was "Taigong Fishing Map", and he was very emotional, and wrote this inscription poem, the poem said:

The Xuan room group is in the night, and Huangxi is fishing alone.

The floating clouds look rich, and the flowing water is light and eyebrows.

Even if it is not Xiong Zhao, he is respected as the emperor's teacher.

Xuan Shang is as inherent, and it has been thinking for thousands of years.

Jiang Taigong once had a talent at the end of the Shang Dynasty, and he was already in his 60s, full of gray hair, and he was still an ordinary person, but he was still looking for opportunities to display his talents. Later, Jiang Ziya fished in Weishui, met the Ming lord Xibo Hou Jichang, and was worshiped as a prince, and then Jiang Ziya assisted King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou to overthrow the Shang Dynasty and establish the Zhou Dynasty of Guozuo for 800 years, so he became the idol of many people with lofty ideals.

It should be said that Jiang Taigong and Liu Bowen, who have been in seclusion for many years and have never given up their ideals, were very similar in their state of seclusion at that time, they were very talented and learned, and they did not have the opportunity to perform, and they both knew how to wait for the opportunity. Perhaps it is precisely because of these similarities that Liu Bowen will have a lot of emotions when he sees "Taigong Fishing Map", and Liu Bowen also vaguely has the meaning of comparing with Jiang Ziya, and expects to be able to establish such immortal feats like Jiang Ziya, so Liu Bowen's poem is written around Jiang Taigong.

The first sentence "Xuan Room Group Sleeps at Night" seems to be writing about the Shang Dynasty's Shang King and Daji's extravagant pleasure on the terrace, which reminds people of some extravagant and brutal scenes such as the so-called wine pond and meat forest, but in fact, it is also written about the absurdity and immorality in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty. How strikingly similar the history is, Emperor Yuan Shun and his cronies are also all kinds of extravagance and corruption in the palace, the court is smoky, the people are not happy, and natural and man-made disasters are frequent. However, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were still drunk and dreaming of death, and they were still fighting with each other, and Liu Bowen saw it clearly when he was an official in the imperial court, and he hated those corruption and darkness.

"When Huangxi Fishes Alone" is written about the cold life when Jiang Taigong did not meet the Ming Lord, he was often fishing in astragalus, which is a means of begging for a living, in fact, it can be seen as Jiang Taigong's kind of motivation and forbearance as a hero, a move to observe the political situation in seclusion, he is waiting for an opportunity to go out of the mountain.

Jiang Taigong's experience is very similar to Liu Bowen, Liu Bowen also abandoned his official position and went into hiding, no longer being an official of the Yuan Dynasty. And Jiang Taigong is fishing for floating clouds to see wealth, flowing water and light eyebrows, which means that he only wants to realize the ideal in his heart, not just pursue the fame and fortune in front of him, so Jiang Ziya lives in seclusion in Weishui to watch the clouds and clouds, flowing water and falling flowers, and the time is over, until he is dying of old age, still waiting for an opportunity, what he hopes is not just glory and wealth, but can assist the Lord and be a big man.

"Even if it is not Xiong Zhao, it should be respected as the emperor's teacher." These two sentences tell a very famous story, that is, the story of Jiang Taigong and King Wen of Zhou. At that time, King Wen of Zhou wanted to go hunting in Weishui, he believed in gossip, and before leaving, he divined a hexagram, and the hexagram showed that the big goods that would be harvested were not bears and non-stalks, but would receive the goods to be supported by wizards. King Wen of Zhou was very happy, and then he saw Taigong Jiang fishing by the Weishui, King Wen of Zhou walked over and talked to Taigong Jiang, what Taigong Jiang said made King Wen of Zhou very admired, so King Wen of Zhou warmly invited Taigong Jiang to return to Xiqi together and worship Taigong Jiang as a teacher.

Later, Jiang Taigong realized the ideal of assisting Ming Jun and stabilizing the world, and Fei Xiong Zhao was also used as a metaphor for hermits being enabled and reused. It should be said that the encounter between Jiang Taigong and King Wen of Zhou was that Liangchen met Mingjun, which Liu Bowen thought about day and night, so he went on to write a sentence "Xuan Shang is as inherent as it is, and it has been thought for thousands of years". It means that the story of Jiang Taigong really caused future generations to think deeply.

In the twentieth year of Zhizheng (1360), the 50-year-old Liu Ji finally waited for the master who appreciated him, and he was invited by Zhu Yuanzhang to Yingtian (now Nanjing) and became a counselor who assisted him in creating a foundation.

Strategizing in the middle of the plan, making decisions thousands of miles away. Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a stage to display his wisdom, and he assisted Zhu Yuanzhang to create the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and become a legend of a generation.
