Jiang Taigong fishing, willing to take the bait(jiāng tài gōng diào yú，yuàn zhě shàng gōu)

Jiang Taigong fishing, willing to take the bait

The allusion comes from Fu Zi Fang Wai written by Fu Lang of Jin Dynasty. It says: "Tai Gong has been fishing in Yinxi for six years, but he has never caught a fish. When Lu Lianwen heard about it, he watched it. Taigong Juan kneels down on the hidden cliff, fishing without bait, chanting and releasing the pole at dusk. "

Today, it's more like being willing to fall into someone else's plan. A similar story is "Zhou Yu beat Huang Gai, one willing to fight, another willing to suffer.".

allusion

Jiang Taigong, also known as Jiang Shang, was born in the East China Sea. He was the chief counselor, supreme military commander and founder of the Western Zhou Dynasty. He was the founder of Qi State and the founder of Qi culture. He was also an outstanding strategist, militarist and statesman with a long influence in ancient China. He was known as "the master of Zhou Dynasty, the ancestor of Qi Dynasty" and "the great master of a hundred schools". He played an important role in Chinese history. Jiang Shang was born in a humble family. For the first half of his life, he could be said to have been wandering and struggling. However, he was full of economy and ambition, and believed that he could do something. It's said that Xibo Jichang respected the virtuous and benevolent officials, and he went all the way to Xiqi when he was over seventy years old. But when he came to Xiqi, he didn't rush to recommend himself. Instead, he came to live in Jixi (now Jixi Town, Chencang District, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province) on the North Bank of the Wei River. Since then, he has been fishing on the Wei River every day, waiting for the arrival of emperor Shengming. Jiang Shang's fishing method is peculiar. He has a short and long line, and the line is made of bamboo hooks. He doesn't use bait to feed. The fishing rod doesn't fall into the water, and it's three feet high from the water. He says to himself while fishing, "Jiang Shang, if you want to fish, take the bait." A woodcutter named Wuji, seeing Jiang Ziya's straight hook without bait, said sarcastically, "if you fish like this, you can't catch a fish in three years, even a hundred years." Jiang Shang said, "you only know one, but you don't know the other. It's not my husband's job to take fish from the music. I prefer to take fish from the straight rather than from the music. My hook is not for fishing, but for king and marquis. " Later, he caught Jichang, King Wen of Zhou. Ji Changxing was in urgent need of talents when he conquered Zhou Dynasty. He learned that Jiang Shang was very talented. He fasted for three days, bathed in his clothes, carried his betrothal gifts, and went to Jixi to apply for a job. He made Jiang Shang his prime minister. Jiang Shang assisted King Wen to establish the country, and helped Jifa, King Wu of Zhou, the son of Jichang, to destroy the Shang Dynasty. He was also granted the title of Qi by King Wu and realized his wish to make contributions. What Jiang Ziya fished out can be described as a "King's fish". this is the origin of the idiom "Jiang Taigong fishing, those willing to take the bait".

Idiom story

During the reign of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty, there was a man named Jiang Shang with the word Ziya. He is well versed in poetry and books, well versed in military strategy, and ambitious. He once went to the capital of yin and Shang Dynasties to beg for an official position, but failed. When Jiang Ziya heard that Xibo Marquis Jichang recruited talents and widely applied benevolent policies, he came to Xiqi from afar in his 70s. After arriving at Xiqi, he didn't go to offer himself, but came to live on the North Bank of Weishui river. Since then, he has been fishing in Weishui river every day, waiting for the arrival of Jichang. Jiang Ziya's fishing method is very strange: the fishing rod is short, the fishing line is long, the straight hook is used, there is no bait, the fishing rod is not put into the water, and it is three feet high from the water. While fishing, he said to himself, "when Taigong is fishing, those who wish to take the bait." A woodcutter named Wuji came to the river and saw Jiang Ziya fishing on the water with a straight hook without bait. He said to him, "if you fish like this, you can't catch a fish in 100 years." Jiang Ziya said, "you don't know why. I'm not fishing for fish, but for king and Hou." Later, he caught Jichang, King Wen of Zhou. Ji Changxing was in urgent need of recruiting talents when he conquered Zhou Dynasty. He concluded that Jiang Ziya, who was over age, was a pillar of talent. So he fasted for three days, bathed and dressed, and went to hire Jiang Ziya in person. Jiang Ziya helped King Wen of Zhou to establish the country, and later helped King Wu of Zhou Jifa to destroy Shang. Jiang Ziya was granted the title of Qi by King Wu and realized his wish to make contributions.
