A short history story 8th grade 5

According to legend, Jiang Ziya Jiang Taigong was originally from the end of the Shang Dynasty, and his ancestor, Siyue Boyi, helped Yu to cure the water and was sealed in Lv, so he got the Lv family. He was the chief strategist, military commander and founding father of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the founder of Qi culture, as well as the influential tactician, military strategist and statesman of China. His historical status has been recognized by the canonical books of the past generations, and he has been honored as the "Patriarch of the Hundred Schools" as he was pursued as a figure of his own family.

In ancient times, the eastern power of the Yin Shang dynasty towards the end of the period, Yin Shang king tyrannical, corrupt government, social darkness, economic collapse, people do not want to live, grievances. On the other hand, the western state of Zhou, due to the Xi Bo Ji Chang, later known as King Wen of Zhou, advocated benevolent government, economic development, and the implementation of thrift and frugality of the state and the policy of affluence of the people, so that the society is clear, people's hearts are stable, and the state is getting stronger and stronger, and the people of the world are inclined to Zhou, and the vassals look forward to the winds of adherence.

Jiang Shang, who had a strong heart, was informed that Ji Chang was looking for talented people in order to rule the country, so he decided to leave the Shang Dynasty and came to the Western Zhou territory along the Weishui River, where he stayed in Panshi and fished all day long to observe the changes in the world and wait for the opportunity to come out. Finally, Jiang Zi Ya met Ji Chang, who came here for a hunting trip, while fishing, and the two of them met each other by chance and had a very good conversation. From this, Jiang Ziya proposed to Xi Bo Ji Chang a good strategy for ruling the country. The West Bo Ji Chang personally Jiang Ziya help on the car, together back to the palace, worship as a master, called "Tai Gongwang".

In this way, Jiang Ziya in the auxiliary Zhou Wen Wang period, for the strong Zhou to destroy the Shang developed a series of correct internal and external policies. Internally, the implementation of farmers to help plow the public land to one-ninth of the rent tax, eight families each share of private land of 100 acres, large and small officials have a share of the land, the descendants inheritance, as a salary and other economic policies to promote the development of production. Externally, on the surface, they insisted on being respectful and obedient to Yin, in order to paralyze King Zhou, and secretly implemented the strategy of winning over neighboring countries, gradually drawing them together, and disintegrating the allies of the Yinshang dynasty, so as to weaken and encourage the Yinshang dynasty.

In the ancient slave society, to be able to put the farmers in the first place to consider, Jiang Ziya is really a very focus on people's livelihood for the people to do the good people. Why was he not as brutal and ruthless as his rulers? So he was originally from a poor rural background and knew the suffering of the common people.

Jiang Taigong Jiang Ziya, there is another name, is Lv Shang, for the Yandi after the original ginger surname, because of his ancestor Bo Yi for the four Yue, auxiliary Yu water great credit, was named Lv Marquis, given the name of Jiang, sealed in Lv land, that is, is the current Nanyang City, Henan Province, Wolong District, Wangcun Township, Dongying Village, Jiang Ziya on the voice of the Dongying Village, and the establishment of the vassal state of the State of Lv. For Lv ancestor, so there is also the name Lv Shang.

According to legend, Jiang Shang's ancestors were noblemen, but Jiang Ziya's family fell into disrepute and gradually became poor. In order to make ends meet, Jiang Shang slaughtered cows and sold meat in Chaoguo, the capital of Shang Dynasty, and then went to Mengjin to sell wine. He worked as a hawker, encountered continuous rain when he sold fans, and encountered strong winds when he sold flour, and fate dealt him successive failures. Therefore, there is still a saying in the countryside that "Jiang Ziya sells flour and encounters wind when he goes out" to describe his bad fate.

However, although Jiang Ziya's fate is not good, but he is ambitious, diligent study, always tirelessly study, explore the way to rule the country, in the hope that one day to be able to make great achievements, for the country. Therefore, Jiang Ziya diligently gnawing military books, in that fishing place a kneeling is ten years, until the twilight of the year, only to meet the West Bo Ji Chang, there is is the time to show their talents.

The fact is exactly the same, a person to the point of life is worse than death, only willing to eat the ordinary people difficult to eat the pain, suffer the ordinary people difficult to suffer, in the self-mutilation of the body, to remind themselves not to forget the horror of the backward. If Jiang Ziya is not due to the fall of the family, born in the poor countryside, if not suffered from hunger and cold, if there is no thought to change this pathetic situation, Jiang Ziya definitely do not have such great perseverance? This is for those anointed children, all day only know to keep warm and think of lust of the aristocratic children, is not even think about it.

Changing the situation, this goal can not be said to be high, but for the peasants in the poor and suffering in the hard times, the body pressure layer after layer of the mountain, to lift them is a must be the price of a lifetime to do things. Jiang Ziya is exactly this, in the hunger and cold in the bitter cold life, with a lifetime of energy to develop tactics and military, that is the life of the compulsion to ten years to sharpen a sword.

Suffering, for the weak may be a disaster, but for the strong is often the road to success, from ancient times to the present, there are so many heroes and talents from the poor rural areas, their success is certainly a lot of reasons, but have a **** the same destiny, that is, the cold and hard life in the countryside. Jiang Ziya is so, in the family after the fall, in the poverty and suffering in the training of perseverance and will, become a good man who loves the farmers, in his acceptance of the partition to the first king of Qi, his policy is to open up the free market, in just one year to make the common people well-fed and well-fed.
