China Jiang Ziya Jiang Shang Jiang Shang, famous, Lu family, named Ziya, or simply Huya. Also known as Lu Shang, he was called "Tai Gong Wang" because he was the founder of Qi State, and was commonly known as Jiang Tai Gong. People from the East China Sea. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, he was named "Taishi" (name of military officer) by King Wen of Zhou and was respected as "Master Shangfu". He assisted King Wen and consulted with "Jian Shang". Later, he assisted King Wu of Zhou to destroy the Shang Dynasty. He was granted the title of Qi due to his meritorious service and became the founder of Qi in the Zhou Dynasty. He is the most famous statesman, military strategist and strategist in Chinese history. According to legend, Jiang Shang's ancestors were nobles and were officials during the Shun period. Due to their merits, they were granted the title of Lu (now Nanyang, Henan), so they were named Lu and named Lu Shang. The surnames in ancient China were the product of the matrilineal clan, so the "surname" meant "girls". Later, men were the main surnames and surnames were added. After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States, there were more and more surnames, and the surnames and surnames gradually merged into two. Weiyi is what is now called the surname. Later, his family fell into decline and he became a poor man by the time of Jiang Shang. In order to make a living, Jiang Shang slaughtered cattle and sold meat in Chaoge, the Shang capital (now Qixian County, Henan Province) when he was young, and then went to Mengjin (now northeastern Mengjin County, Henan Province) to sell wine. Although he was poor, he had great ambitions, studied hard, and tirelessly studied and explored ways to govern and rejuvenate the country, hoping that one day he would be able to make great achievements and serve the country. It was not until his later years that he finally got the opportunity to display his talents. At that time, it was the period when the Yin and Shang Dynasty, a great eastern country, was declining. King Zhou of the Yin Dynasty was tyrannical and immoral, and his government was corrupt, the society was dark, the economy was in ruins, the people were in dire straits, and there were many complaints. As for the Zhou Kingdom in the west, because Xibo Jichang (later King Wen of Zhou) advocated benevolent government, developed the economy, and implemented the policy of building a country through diligence and thrift and enriching the people, the society was clear and clear, people's hearts were stable, and the country was getting stronger. Jiang Shang, who was full of ambition, learned that Ji Chang was seeking talented people from all over the world in order to govern and rejuvenate the country, so he resolutely left the Shang Dynasty and came to the Western Zhou territory on the shores of the Wei River. He lived in Feng River and fished all day long. Changes in the world are waiting to come out. One day, while Jiang Shang was fishing in Fenxi River, he happened to meet Jichang, the Xibo who was also hunting. The two met unexpectedly and had a very good conversation. Ji Chang saw that Jiang Shang was knowledgeable and well-versed in history and current affairs, so he asked him for advice on how to govern and rejuvenate the country. Jiang Shang immediately put forward the theory of "three constants": "One is that the king should promote the virtuous as a rule, and the other is that officials should appoint officials. The third principle is to respect the virtuous. This means that in order to govern and rejuvenate a country, we must put virtuous people first and pay attention to discovering and utilizing talents. Ji Chang was very happy after hearing this and said: "My ancestor Taigong predicted: 'When a saint comes to Zhou, Zhou will prosper.' Are you that saint? My Taigong has been looking forward to his son (Mr. Hope) for a long time!" So Ji Chang Chang personally helped Jiang Shang onto the chariot, and together they returned to the palace and worshiped him as Taishi, calling him "Tai Gongwang".
