【Translation】
King Wen was about to go out hunting, and asked Taishi to make a fortune for him, saying, "If you go hunting north of Weishui, you will have a great harvest, not a dragon or a mantis, not a tiger or a bear, indicating that you will receive a prince and a national teacher given to you by heaven." King Wen then took a hunting cart, rode a hunting horse, and went hunting on the north bank of the Weishui River, and finally met Jiang Taigong, who was sitting on the thatched river bank fishing. Zhou Xibo went out hunting, and sure enough, he met Taigong on the north bank of Weishui, talked to him, and was very happy. He said, "I remember my deceased father, Taigong, who said to me earlier: 'There will be saints who will come to Zhou, and Zhou will prosper and develop with [him].'" Are you really such a person? My husband has been looking forward to you for a long time!" That's why I called him "Tai Gong Wang." I took him back to China with a car, and when I went back, I worshiped him as a national teacher.
