Is it true that King Wen took a rickshaw for 800 steps and the Zhou Dynasty lasted for 800 years?

When it comes to the birthplace of the Zhou Dynasty, we have to mention Qishan (now Baoji City, Shaanxi Province). Zhou was originally just a tribe with a long history. At the end of summer, this tribe was active in Shaanxi Province and Gansu Province. Later, due to the turmoil of other nomadic tribes, Qi Fu, the leader of the Zhou Dynasty, led his people to settle in the plain under Qishan. Later, Ji Chang's father, Ji Li, fought a continuous war with the Rongdi tribe on the border of Zhou State and won many victories. Therefore, the border area of Zhou State has been expanding.

After Ji Li died, as his son,

Of course, he became the leader. When Ji Chang ascended the throne, Zhou was already very powerful. Zhou Wenwang is a talented man, and his life is completely different from his father's. Zhou Wang likes drinking, hunting and punishing his people. When he came to power, he began to ban people from drinking, forbidding nobles from hunting and destroying crops. He encouraged people to raise more cattle and sheep and cultivate more land to grow food. He also accepted some enlightened talents, and then people came to him and took refuge in him.

Jiang Ziya's ancestors played an important role in helping Yu to control water, and they were chased in Lu, so they were also called Lu merchants. Jiang Ziya is a very talented and knowledgeable person. He has the ambition to help the world and wants to show his ability, but he has never met Bole who appreciates him and spent most of his life in poverty. He used to be a butcher and also sold noodles on the roadside. Time flies, he is old and his hair is gray. Hearing that Zhou Wenwang appreciated talents, he came to the bank of Weihe River under the guise of fishing, hoping to win the favor of King Wen and make his talents come in handy.

However, Wang Yizhi did not find him. As the years passed, his hair changed from gray to white. Because he fished by the Weihe River for too long, two shallow pits were ground on the stone where he often stayed. Others saw him fishing for so long, and he got nothing, so they advised him to give up, but he said, "You don't understand! Where do I fish? "

The days passed year by year. Jiang Ziya still fishes by the Wei River every day. This is the origin of the idiom "Jiang Taigong fishes, and the willing takes the bait". Finally one day, King Wen decided to go hunting. He divined a divination for himself: "Not a dragon, not a tiger, not a bear, but someone who can help you realize your destiny." Zhou Wenwang went hunting happily. By chance, I arrived at the bank of Weihe River. King Wen saw an old fisherman with extraordinary manners, so he went forward and talked with him. That's great. He found that Jiang Ziya is one of the few wise men in the world. He has his own understanding of everything and is very knowledgeable.

So he wanted to ask Jiang Ziya to be his advisor and decide the world with him. At this time, Jiang Ziya said, "Please invite me first, but the king's chariot will sit for me and the king will pull it for me." This is followed by Zhou Wenwang's attendants all leng, you an old man he2 de2 he2 ability to let your majesty personally give up his seat back to your carriage? But King Wen still admired talented people, and he readily agreed.

So Jiang Ziya got into the car and asked Zhou Wenwang to pull it. After all, Zhou Wenwang is the emperor. Usually, others will do these things. Where does he work so hard? Tired of pulling for a while, I stopped to have a rest and looked back at Jiang Ziya. Boy, he closed his eyes and had a rest. Zhou Wenwang had a rest and then began to play again. He played three times and took three breaks. Finally, panting and sweating, he had to say to Jiang Ziya, "I really can't pull."

Jiang Ziya opened his eyes at this time, got off the bus and asked King Wen, "Do you know how many steps you have taken?" King Wen doesn't know this. His mind is full of hard work pulling carts. He shook his head. Jiang Ziya said, "If the King pulls me eight hundred steps, I will protect his country for eight hundred years." The following just know, originally he is not Jiang Ziya, but his ten thousand. Unfortunately, the water under the bridge, he has stopped, so he can't continue.

Zhou Wenwang took Jiang Ziya back to the palace and appointed him as a military adviser. And Jiang Ziya didn't live up to his trust, helped him fight Yin, and helped his son defeat Yin after King Wen's death, thus dominating the world. Therefore, it is difficult to meet a noble person, and it is even harder to find it. Even people like Zhou Wenwang did something wrong to his nobles, which caused his Zhou Dynasty to last only 800 years. Everything has a cause and effect.
