Imitate the sages and go fishing! Face life and be a fisherman with feelings.

Since ancient times, sages have been lonely, and only heavy drinkers have been famous for ages. Drinking poison to quench thirst is the most common way for ancient sages to deal with life setbacks, but in history, there are also many celebrities who hang on ribbons in a more active way to hide their strength and bide their time. In their view, hanging silk is the process of communication between human mind and heaven and the integration of body and mind. In the face of setbacks, people who choose to drown their sorrows in wine are often down and out all their lives, while those who face difficulties with their hands can be proud of the spring breeze, such as Jiang Ziya, Han Xin and Fan Li in history. From this point of view, in ancient times, rather than doing nothing, it was a way out of the haze of life! Next, let's find out which ancient sages walked out of the trough and reached the peak of their lives through bows and arrows. Jiang Ziya

The earliest recorded bracken in China was in the Neolithic Age 8000 years ago. At that time, humans could already build barbed hooks, and the earliest recorded violinist in China was Jiang Ziya of the Zhou Dynasty.

Jiang Ziya is the most famous politician and strategist in the history of our country. But before he started, Jiang Ziya was poor for half his life. In order to make a living, he once slaughtered cattle and sold them. Later, it was said that Zhou Wenwang worried about Hongzhi and fished by the Wei River under the guise of hanging silk ribbons, which attracted the attention of King Wen, and finally got the reuse of Zhou Wenwang, helping King Wen to unify the world and seal Hou. "Jiang Taigong is willing to take the bait" is also a story that has been circulated for thousands of years.

Fan Li, a native of Hangzhou, put a sticker on his body saying "Just wait for Wang Wen".

Looking back, Fan Li in the Spring and Autumn Period can be regarded as an expert in dyeing silk. Different from Jiang Ziya's political career, Fan Li realized his wealth savings through music, and eventually became rich, and was regarded as the "God of Wealth" by later businessmen.

Fan Li was a doctor of Zhou in the Spring and Autumn Period. After helping the King of Yue defeat Fu Cha, he chose to retire to the countryside and fish in Wuzhou for pleasure. Fan Li, who is good at calculation, never stopped thinking when hanging on silk. He went on to sum up the habits of fish. Through the idea of "planting bamboo and raising fish thousands of times", he finally became the richest businessman in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period by raising fish.

Later, Qi Weiwang summoned Fan Li and asked, "How can you be rich when you have a lot of money? Fan Li replied, "There are five ways to cure diseases, and fish farming is the first." Later, Fan Li also published China's first book on fish culture, Fish Culture Classic.

Gao Shi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, commented on Fan Li like this:

Liuhe Zhuang gives birth to horses, and Fan Lizhou is in the rivers and lakes.

Happy as you, happy as you.

From Huang Yong to here, and then as a bald head back to any.

Dust and sky, looking forward to this day.

Qu Yuan

Qu Yuan wrote a beautiful poem Li Sao, which was flattered by the king of Chu Xiang and exiled to the south of the Yangtze River. He is still fishing on the purple water bank. Today, it is said that Quzi Chuilun Terrace in Taojiang County, Hunan Province was the place where Qu Yuan fished. Quzi Ancient Luntai is also called "Jiang Taigong Ancient Luntai" and "Yan Ziling Ancient Luntai" in Zhejiang, and it is also called the three ancient Luntai in China.

At the same time, we can fish for three days in the Dragon Boat Festival excitedly, and we should also thank Qu Yuan for giving us a holiday! Zhuangzi

Zhuangzi was a famous thinker, philosopher and writer in the Warring States period, and also the main representative of Taoist school. "On the Pendulum" is also a favorite of Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi even refused the official position given by the king of Chu for the sake of mourning, in Zhuangzi? Foreign articles? There is such a record in Autumn Water: Zhuangzi was fishing in Pushui, and the king of Chu ordered the doctors to go first, saying, "I hope I am tired of China!" Zhuangzi hung down his arm with a pole and said, "I heard that there was a turtle in Chu, who died at the age of 3,000. The king's towel is hidden in the temple. Will it be more expensive to keep the bones when this turtle is dead? Would you rather be born dragging your tail in paint? " The second doctor said, "I'd rather be born dragging my tail." Zhuangzi said, "In the past, I would drag my tail in the paint."

One day, Zhuangzi was hanging from his bow by Pushui. The king of Chu sent two messengers to Zhuangzi, saying, "The king of Chu has made progress, you can work for him, and he is willing to give you the important task of governing the country!" Zhuangzi said without looking back, holding the end of a fishing rod, "I heard that there was a tortoise in Chu State, which has been dead for more than 3,000 years. The king of Chu presented it to the court with a gorgeous silk scarf. So for this turtle, is it willing to become a nobleman after death, or would it rather live in the mud? " The two doctors said, "Of course, I'd rather live by muddy water." Zhuangzi said, "Then go home. Like that turtle, I would rather live in the mud than die in the temple and sacrifice. "

Before joining the army, Han Xin, the founding general of Liu Bang, also relied on hanging silk to satisfy his hunger, studying the art of war while hanging silk, and eventually became the founding hero of the Han Dynasty. While in Han Xin, he was not only taken care of by his aunt who washed clothes by the river, but also met his first love-Ji Tao. They stay by the river every day, hanging on silk and washing clothes alone. Finally, after a long time, they fell in love. It seems that hanging on the silk not only made Han Xin gain a career, but also got love.

Other famous poets in ancient times

In addition to the predecessors mentioned above, there are many famous poets in history who also have a special liking for hanging on ribbons. Especially in the Tang and Song Dynasties, hanging on silk ribbons became a popular activity for a period of time, and almost all literati and poets liked fishing. Li Bai should be the most imposing and imaginative of these people. Once Li Bai visited the Prime Minister's house and claimed to be a turtle fisherman in the East China Sea, saying that he caught a giant turtle in the East China Sea, made a fishing line with a rainbow in the sky, made a hook with a curved crescent moon, and made bait with unscrupulous traitors in the world, which showed his heroism and righteousness.

In addition to Li Bai, many great poets also left a famous sentence about hanging dragons:

Du Fu wrote in "Jiangcun": The old man takes drawing paper as a chess game, while the naive one takes knocking a needle as a hook.

Tang Bohu wrote in the Fish Map of the West Lake: For thirty years, a fishing rod crossed its hands and paid tribute to senior officials.

Liu Zongyuan wrote an epic poem in "Jiang Xue": There are no birds in the mountains, and there are no traces of thousands of people. A boat on the river, a fisherman wearing his webworm moth; Fishing alone is not afraid of snow and ice.

Lu You wrote in the poem "Queqiao Fairy": A very romantic, a misty rain, home in four fishing platforms on the water. People are wrong, and I am an unknown fisherman.

Su Shi, in particular, is a pivotal figure. He wrote, "A fish with a blade scares a hundred fish, and shrimps and crabs jump and throw them around by mistake." And "I don't know if it's raining, it's sparse to stir water to find fish." It is also a vivid summary of many truths about the dragon bow. People without strong fishing experience can't write such poems. It seems that Su Shi was also harmed by white bars!

Su Shi is also a full-fledged gourmet. He summed up a set of unique cooking skills: "Slow fire and little water, enough fire will make you beautiful", which is called "Dongpo fish" by later generations, and its taste is absolutely delicious.
