"Jiang Taigong fishes - those who wish to take the bait", this is a popular saying in China, which is known to women and children, and can be spoken by young and old.

Jiang Taigong, surnamed Jiang. According to Sima Qian's account, Jiang Taigong's family background is also very prominent, according to today's words, even if he is not a descendant of an official who is not in the limelight, he can be regarded as a descendant of an official who is declining. It is said that Jiang Taigong's verifiable distant ancestors can be traced back to Emperor Yan. Jiang Taigong is the descendant of Boyi, because Boyi is in charge of the four mountains meritorious, the ruler will Lu Di as the fief of Boyi, the descendants of Boyi, in order to commemorate the ancestors, remember the ancestors' achievements, on the "Lu" as the surname, Jiang Taigong as the descendants of Boyi, there is also a "Lu for the clan" said.

Based on the above, the introduction of Jiang Taigong is generally like this:

Jiang Taigong is Jiang Ziya (about 1156 BC - about 1017 BC), Jiang surname, Lü family, name Shang, a Wang, the word Ziya, or single Hu Ya, also known as Lü Shang, alias Feixiong, the last years of the Shang Dynasty.

Everyone is familiar with Jiang Taigong, in addition to the above sentence "Jiang Taigong fishes - those who wish to take the bait"; There is another source, that is, the description and portrayal of Jiang Ziya in the novel "Romance of the Gods"; In addition, Jiang Ziya's inspirational encounter with King Wen in his eighties is also a legend of self-forgiveness or self-motivation in the world.

Today, I won't talk about Jiang Taigong's deeds, I won't talk about Jiang Taigong's art of war, today, I will briefly talk about Jiang Taigong's fishing.

Before Weibin fishing, Jiang Ziya was not a "Taigong", and at that time, in the eyes of everyone, his old man was just an ordinary fisherman and woodcutter.

Because he didn't know how to make a living, Jiang Ziya was still frustrated when he was over 70 years old, had no job and no land, hid in the deep mountains and old forests, and relied on picking wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, and collecting rotten branches and leaves to make a fire for warmth.

Everyone regards Jiang Ziya as an ordinary fisherman, but everyone doesn't know that this old man is full of splendid and full of articles. When this talent was not displayed, Jiang Ziya was still just a nerd, and he was just an old nerd. Why do you say that, let's take a look at the related legends first:

"Romance of the Gods" said that when Jiang Ziya was seventy years old, he married a sixty-eight-year-old yellow flower girl. Because Jiang Ziya is not good at making a living, after getting married, he started his business again and again, but the result ended in failure. After many failed ventures, Jiang Ziya's wife was very suspicious of Jiang Ziya's ability to survive, and had to divorce Jiang Ziya, Jiang Ziya had no choice but to sign a divorce agreement, send his wife back to her parents' home, and continue to wander in society alone.

After reading the relevant rumors, let's take a look at Jiang Ziya's fishing, and you will believe that what I said about "nerds" is true!

After Jiang Ziya hid in the deep mountains and old forests, he relied on picking wild fruits to deal with hunger. If you think about it, there will always be a time when this wild fruit is finished, and there will be a time when this wild fruit can't be picked up, not to mention, just eating wild fruits will not carry hunger, and your stomach will always growl.

One day, Jiang Ziya was so hungry that he saw that everyone was fishing on the bank of the Wei River, and almost all of them caught fish, but the number was somewhat different.

Jiang Ziya thinks that it has been a long time since he has opened meat, and after catching a fish, he can get a grilled fish to eat, which not only satisfies his cravings, but also resists hunger for a long time, how good it is!

Thinking like this, Jiang Ziya drew the gourd in the same way.

It's a pity that this nerd only knows how to learn, and he doesn't think about it at all. He had never caught a fish before, so how did he know that this fishing also had the mystery and mystery of fishing in it.

This old nerd found a straight needle to make a fishhook, and it was called "straight hook". He made a little thread on the so-called "straight hook" and threaded it, and then added a random rope to the thread, and then tied the rope to a thick wooden stick. He found something he liked to eat at random, hung it on the hook, and just like that, he went fishing.

Jiang Ziya is really patient, he took his fishing rod, sat on the bank of the Wei River, and fished for three days and three nights. However, the results of Jiang Ziya's fishing were very disappointing! For three days and three nights, Jiang Ziya didn't catch half a fish, not to mention fish, he didn't even catch a toad.

After three days and three nights, Jiang Ziya's patience gradually lost, and he began to get anxious. He was a little angry in a hurry. It's rare for such a Sven reader to get angry. This fishing really made him angry.

Angry is angry, this is completely Jiang Ziya's own business, what about the fish, or swim freely in the water, swim happily, swim slowly, and lively......

Looking at the fish, the old man stared dryly, there was no way.

At this time, Jiang Ziya could only be angry with himself:

He first took off his hat, threw it on the ground, ran over and stomped on it several times; Seemingly not relieved at all, he took off his shirt again and threw it on the ground, originally, he wanted to spit twice, but feeling that it was troublesome to wash clothes, he could only spit on the open space next to his clothes.

Fortunately, this performance was seen by a farmer who Jiang Ziya usually looked down on at all. The farmer knew that this nerd had always despised the croppers. Originally, the farmer's smile was over, but the farmer was kind and kind, and he looked at the old man quite pitifully, and he couldn't bear to torture himself so much at such an old age. The farmer walked over and said to Jiang Ziya:

"Old man! This is not how fish are caught, the line must be slender and flexible; As for the hook, it must be bent, and by the way, there must be a barb on it to catch the fish; This bait should be made with what the fish like to eat; When the hook is placed, it should be put slowly; Be calm when fishing – don't scare the fish......"

Before the farmer's words were finished, Jiang Ziya became angry and reprimanded loudly:

"Go, go, you know, hillbilly! I'm annoyed sir, you'd better go farther away, and I'll leave you all over the ground in a while......"

When the farmer saw Jiang Ziya scolding, he sighed and said to himself:

"It's really kind to make it on the donkey's liver and lungs......"

After the farmer left, the wind blew the shirtless Jiang Ziya, and he fought a cold war, at this time, the old scholar calmed down a lot.

Jiang Ziya replayed what the farmer had just said. He felt that there seemed to be some truth in the farmer's words. So, Jiang Ziya put on his clothes, put on his hat, picked up his fishing equipment and returned to the hut.

After going back, Jiang Ziya re-modified the fishing equipment according to the farmer's instructions. After the fishing tackle was ready, Jiang Ziya dug up some earthworms that the fish like as bait. After getting ready, Jiang Ziya tidied up his clothes, put on the cushion, and came to Weibin again:

Lightly put down the fishing hook, meditate and wait, after a while, I saw the float shaking, the old scholar estimated that the fish had bitten the hook tightly, he vigorously lifted the fishing rod, good fellow, for the first time, he caught a fat and tender carp.

What a clever way this farmer is!

The second time he got off the pole, the old man was lucky, and when he lifted the hook, it was another brightly colored carp.

Jiang Ziya is completely calm now!

The old scholar seemed to understand something.

Jiang Ziya fell into deep thought while fishing. The expression on his face was mixed: one moment joy, the other sadness; One moment it was anger, the other it was serenity......

For more than 70 years, Jiang Ziya's memory treasure trove has been full of ups and downs...... All of them poured into my heart, condensed the past, and the scenes were played out in the minds of the old scholars, and soon, the replay ended.

I haven't met for more than 70 years, all in one "stagnation", all because I can't be flexible.

At this time, Jiang Ziya suddenly laughed and abandoned the fishery.

Since then, there has been one more famous figure in history - Jiang Taigong.

It is for "Jiang Ziya's Fishing Enlightenment"

The idea of this article is derived from the following text:

There is such a passage in the [Justice] of "Jiang Taigong Fishing" Zhang Shoujie in Volume 32 of "The Second Family of Qi Taigong":

"Shuo Yuan" cloud: "Lu Wangnian is seventy years old and fishes in Weizhu, and there is no fish to eat for three days and three nights. There are peasants, strangers from ancient times, who say: 'Zigu re-fishing, will be fine, fragrant bait, slowly cast, no fish frightened. 'As he said, the first carp will be born, and the second carp will be obtained. ……”
