There has always been a saying among the people: When Jiang Taigong fishes, those who are willing will take the bait! As the first contributor to the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Ziya was born from about 1156 BC to about 1017 BC. As a famous figure in Chinese history, Jiang Ziya was a descendant of the nobles in the late Shang Dynasty.
Because his ancestor helped Dayu to control floods, he was granted the title of Lu, so he took Lu as his surname, so Jiang Ziya was also called Lu Shang by future generations. Folks believe that the third day of the eighth lunar month is Jiang Ziya’s Christmas day.
When Jiang Ziya was born, his family had already declined, so in his youth, Jiang Ziya did many things to survive, all to subsidize the family and solve the problem of having no food to eat.
As a model for future generations, Jiang Ziya spent almost all his life in poverty, but Jiang Ziya was poor and ambitious. No matter how difficult the situation was, Jiang Ziya would study hard, so whether it was astronomy and geography, military strategy , or governing the country. Anbang and other theories are strategizing. It was not until the age of 72 that Cai met King Wen of Zhou Dynasty Ji Chang. The two had a very happy conversation and eventually assisted King Wen of Zhou to create the hegemony of the Zhou Dynasty.
This year is the 3161st anniversary of the birth of Jiang Taigong . I would like to welcome Jiang Taigong’s birthday by laying a flower basket and reading a memorial text.
