The world under heaven, not the world of one person. Only the Taoists are in charge of it, from the Liutao. According to legend, Jiang Ziya, who helped the Zhou Dynasty create the world for eight hundred years, left a military book, which was later "Liutao". This book is also a must-read book of martial arts for many military generals in the future, and it is estimated that even the grandson of bing sheng has read this book, but as stated in this book, only the Taoists in the world are punished, and the irony is that the Zhou Dynasty assisted by Jiang Ziya actually did not have such a great righteousness. Speaking from the Eight Classics, the Zhou Dynasty seized the world of the Shang Dynasty, and it was not so glorious. Jiang Ziya became more and more magical in the legends of later people, especially in the Fengshen Yanyi, he even had mana, amazing strategy, and expected things to be like gods. So Jiang Ziya, such a legendary figure, what is his life? In many mythological novels that we are familiar with, jiang Ziya's origins are mentioned, but modern archaeology has made new discoveries. Regarding Jiang Ziya's life, I am afraid that many people know it from the novels and television works of Fengshen Yanyi, among which Jiang Ziya is considered to be the apprentice of Yuan Shi Tianzun and seems to have a very big beginning. In these legends, Jiang Ziya's origin is very humble, legend has it that Jiang Ziya is not an aristocrat, in the era of an aristocrat like Xia Shang Zhou, Jiang Ziya can assist King Wen of Zhou, King Wu of Zhou, not by his own blood, but by a successful marketing.
This story is familiar to everyone, is the allusion to Jiang Taigong fishing, legend has it that when Jiang Ziya was seventy years old, fishing in the river, King Wen of Zhou took the initiative to look for it, this gray-haired old man, because chaoge has long been spread, this strange old man fished with a straight hook, so he wanted to come to see Jiang Ziya himself. After some talking, King Wen of Zhou found that this strange old man had very profound knowledge and was also very clear about the major events in the world, so he worshiped him as a military master and asked him to assist him. Before being invited by King Wen of Zhou to be a military master, Jiang Ziya's life was very miserable. In the Warring States strategy Qin Wu, there are records that Taigong Wang, that is, Jiang Ziya, is actually a butcher, and Jiang Ziya, the butcher, has not been very successful. The history books record that he also worked as a small trader, unsuccessful in his career, and his life was also very bad. Jiang Ziya is actually a door-to-door son-in-law, because of unsuccessful career, he was once swept out by his wife, the so-called water is difficult to harvest, is the story of Jiang Ziya.
After he successfully helped the Zhou Dynasty to stabilize the world, his wife came to him with a disheveled face, and Jiang Ziya did not refuse, but just splashed a basin of water on the ground, and then said to his wife. As long as the water could be taken back, it would be as if nothing had happened, and his wife knew that it was impossible, and eventually she returned with sorrow. However, in the end, Jiang Ziya still helped the Zhou Dynasty to establish the Great Zhou Jiangshan for eight hundred years, and from this point alone, it was enough to arouse people's interest in him, and Jiang Ziya was recorded in the history books. It is generally believed that Jiang Ziya was born in QiDi, and everyone can understand the things behind it from the general Fengshen Interpretation. Although Jiang Ziya was not very successful in trading, he had very high political wisdom, and in the end, he was successfully excavated by King Wen of Zhou and became his adviser.
King Wen of Zhou, the king of Zhou Wu, in fact, had long coveted the world of the Shang Dynasty for a long time, just when the King of Shang was marching east and west, and when the barbarians were around, they launched an attack on the Shang Dynasty, and finally, due to insufficient troops and internal emptiness, the King of Shang finally set himself on fire and died. As for the tyranny that is now rumored, they are actually more and more sinful. However, is Jiang Ziya really from a humble background? Now, some archaeological discoveries have made people doubt the origin of Jiang Ziya, who is not a humble person. Jiang Ziya is most likely after the nobility.
In 1972, a large number of Western Zhou tombs were unearthed in Gansu Province, and among these tombs, a lot of cultural relics with inscriptions were unearthed. In the bronze civilization period, people will be the occurrence of major events, recorded on the bronze, these bronze inscriptions, for the current people to understand the past is of great help, in Lingtai County, Gansu, unearthed a bronze gui in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the inscription on this cultural relics, it will be to uncover the mystery of Jiang Ziya's life, played a very big help. On this bronze, there are four inscriptions, Lü Jiang, Do Ghost, don't look at only four words, but it contains very big information. Since the owner of the tomb was a woman, according to the Western Zhou Dynasty, the rules for naming women, Lü should be a surname, and Jiang is a surname. The reason why there are surnames in ancient times is to avoid intermarriage with the same surname, intermarriage with the same surname will cause very big problems, and now in the movie, there are often bridges in the crisis of the earth, leaving only a man and a woman, who reproduce by them, in fact, this is actually very unscientific, according to the research of experts, if you want to maintain the development of a population, the unit of the population should be at least more than three hundred. As far as human beings are concerned, if there is really a very big crisis that affects the survival of mankind, one man and one woman are not enough for human beings to reproduce, and only when the number of people is more than three hundred people can the human race continue to develop, and civilization can continue, without collective genetic defects.
Back to the inscription, Lingtai County, during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, was the seat of the ancient Sumi Kingdom. Therefore, the owner of this cultural relic should be married to this country, the ancient nobility, marriage is not casual, political marriage is the most common. Such a maritime alliance as the Southern Song Dynasty united with Mongolia and attacked the Jin Dynasty was also unique in history, so it should be near this area, at least it should be the north of China, not the South Sea.
In addition to the above cultural relics, the oracle bones excavated from the Yin Ruins can also confirm this view, in the historical records. It is recorded that Jiang Ziya was born in the East China Sea, his ancestors were nobles, and they were sealed in the green land, and Jiang Ziya was the descendant of this nobleman. Therefore, Jiang Ziya is also called Lu Shang. After the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Ziya was sealed in Qidi. His descendants were surnamed Lü, and according to the oracle bones, it should be the place where the Shang king carried out field hunting. During the Xia and Shang And Zhou dynasties, the hunt of the monarch was not a game of nobility, but had a real political significance. On the one hand, it is a military training, and on the other hand, it is also a demonstration of the surrounding military forces. According to the records, this place should be in the border area of the Shang Dynasty, because it was often invaded by surrounding forces. It is precisely because of this that the Shang Dynasty will choose to hunt here. The purpose is to deter those peoples on the border, and specific locations. Chinese scholars believe that it should be in the western part of Shanxi, so the state of Lü should also be in the western part of Shanxi. In this way, it is possible to invade the place by the enemy. And from a series of place names in the central and western parts of Shanxi, such as Lüliang Mountain, Lücheng can also show that this is the location of the State of Lü during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, so that the identity of Jiang Ziya is worth thinking about. Jiang Ziya was doing business in Chaoge, but he was a person from the western part of Shanxi, a person with a low status, who could not cross such a long distance and move. Therefore, Jiang Ziya's identity is not as unbearable as the legend. Jiang Ziya's identity is not low, because there is another piece of evidence that can be corroborated, which is hidden in a crime set by King Wu of Zhou to king shang. King Wu of Zhou believed that the King of Shang did not use his own relatives and brothers, but instead used some low-status people to manage state affairs. From this point of view, if Jiang Ziya was really a person of low status, then how could he work with King Wen of Zhou to formulate this crime? It's not about throwing a stone at your own feet. Therefore, from all indications, Jiang Ziya is indeed not small. He should be an aristocrat, and he also has a certain economic ability, at least he can travel long distances from western Shanxi to Henan to do business. And settled down, and his aristocratic status and knowledge, is also the reason why King Wen of Zhou, King Wu of Zhou used him, no matter how well written historical novels, can not be regarded as facts. Although Jiang Ziya helped the Zhou Dynasty and established the Jiangshan for eight hundred years, it is an indisputable fact that he slandered the King of Shang. The King of Shang used troops for many years, but only to consolidate the rule of the Shang Dynasty. Judging from the achievements of the Shang King, he should be a heroic and promising monarch, and by no means the tyrannical king rumored by later generations
