Who was the founder of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?

Speaking of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, I believe everyone knows that it was an era of great breakthroughs and great achievements in China's history. Introduce how the vassal States in the Spring and Autumn Period came about.

It is estimated that many people are confused about the origin of the vassal states in the Spring and Autumn Period. From the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, how did Qi, Lu, Chu, Jin, Qin, Wu and Yue suddenly appear?

Qi was the first of the five tyrants in the Spring and Autumn Period. Qi was the first vassal state after Zhou Wuwang established the Zhou Dynasty. Who was its founder?

Yes, Jiang Shang, also known as Jiang Ziya and Jiang Taigong, who helped Zhou destroy the business in the Romance of the Gods, was the most successful and inspirational old professional manager in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.

I believe everyone is familiar with the story of Jiang Shang. The saying "Jiang Taigong fishes, and he who wishes takes the bait" has been passed down through the ages. However, as to why Jiang Shang is also called Lu Shang, it is estimated that many people are confused.

This should start with surnames. In ancient times, surnames were used by primitive tribes to distinguish blood relations. The origin of Jiang's surname can be traced back to Emperor Yan in the period of "Three Emperors and Five Emperors", that is to say, Jiang's surname was born when Emperor Yan was there. Do you think Jiang's surname is awesome? Don't envy it. As long as you catch up, among the hundreds of surnames, whose ancestors are absolutely prominent.

Some people may ask, since Jiang Ziya's surname is Jiang, why is he also called Lu Shang? This involves a famous sage in ancient times, named Boyi (this Boyi is not the one who gave way to your throne as an isolated bamboo country in the early Spring and Autumn Period). When Boyi was in Shun Di, he was given the name of "Lu" by Shun Di, which is the source of the same ancestor and clan of Jiang and Lu.

After the successful attack on Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wuwang honored Jiang Ziya as a teacher and a father, meaning that he was also a teacher and a father, which gave him the name Lv Shang.

No one's success has been smooth sailing, and Jiang Ziya has only come to the road of success in a bumpy way. It is said that when Jiang Ziya was born, his family had already declined. When he grew up, he worked as a butcher who slaughtered cattle and sold meat, opened a hotel and sold wine, and later it was said that he also sold rice, but these can only maintain his life, and he is still poor and frustrated.

how poor is it? It is said that his wife, Ma Shi, left her husband, Jiang Ye, for a living just because she thought he would have no future.

However, Jiang Ziya, who believes in Taoist philosophy, is also very ambitious. Even when he is down and out, he is still studying astronomy and geography, military strategy, or studying Anbang's way of governing the country, hoping to display his talents one day.

I didn't meet Zhou Wenwang until I was 72 years old. I wholeheartedly assisted the two generations of Zhou Wang and his son, and finally completed the grand cause of helping the King of Wu to attack Zhou and establish the Zhou Dynasty (Western Zhou Dynasty).

sharing money is the killer of being a boss and cohesive team. Therefore, after the destruction of the Shang Dynasty, Zhou Wuwang consulted Jiang Ziya, Zhou Gongdan and others, and finally decided to divide the whole country belonging to the Western Zhou Dynasty into several vassal states, and enfeoffment it to the relatives of the Ji family who contributed to the great cause of the destruction of the Shang Dynasty and the minister who made contributions to the establishment of the capital, acting as a protective barrier for the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, that is, the so-called "feudal relatives, to screen the Zhou Dynasty with Francisco".

Jiang Ziya was made a marquis because he made great contributions to the attack of King Wu. Where is the fief that Zhou Wuwang gave him? Jiang Ziya's hometown, for the newly established Zhou Dynasty, also belonged to the remote and wild place where Dongyi people lived, which is most of Shandong today.

where is the ancient capital of qi? Today, Linzi District, Linzi City, Shandong Province, was called Yingqiu at that time. This place was really poor at that time. Unlike now, people don't say much, the land is still very barren, and Qi's language and customs are quite different from those of the Zhou Dynasty, which means that it must be quite difficult to start all over again when going to Qi's place as the head of a vassal state, so Jiang Ziya is reluctant.

So, after Zhou Wuwang sealed Qi to Jiang Ziya, Jiang Ziya reluctantly took office with his entourage. Just when I arrived at a teahouse to have a rest, I heard some passers-by talking.

one of them said, it is definitely not our country's Lord to see this man walking slowly, because the time is fleeting. Jiang Ziya a listen to reasonable, so let a person hand hurry up, arrived at qi overnight.

when we arrived in the state of Qi (that is, Weifang, Shandong Province, where Laiguo and Weifang are adjacent), we found that the Lord of Laiguo was assembling his troops to attack the State of Qi. They wanted to seize this place while Jiang Ziya was still in office and the Zhou Dynasty was just established and not completely settled.

When Jiang Ziya came to Qi, he faced not only foreign invasion, but also internal worries, because it is hard to say whether the people in this place are willing to listen to your teachings. In other words, whether this place can be owned by him depends on his means. Only in this way can later generations understand that the good intention of the Zhou Emperor to seal him here is to deter and educate the East through Jiang Ziya's prestige and ability.

Let's talk about Jiang Ziya. He analyzed the form of Qi, so don't worry too much about the military for the time being. After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the King of Wu, and he can be regarded as the originator of the military.

So, for Jiang Ziya, the economic problem of Qi has become an urgent problem to be solved. You know, the economy is related to a place's livelihood. Whether people can live and work in peace and contentment and obey education depends on the level of the economy. As the saying goes, into the badlands is a place where unruly people are born.

Jiang Ziya deserves to be called Jiang Ziya. Soon, he gave full play to his specialty in governing the country and doing business. It didn't take long to turn this place into a particularly rich place. How did you do it?

one is selling salt. Salt is very important to human beings, and we can't live without it every day. Shandong is close to the sea, so he cooks the sea for salt. There are also saltworks in the mainland. His salt is well salt, that is, drilling wells. After his salt is produced, it is bitter. The one in Shandong is not. They have a bitter taste, so the salt in Qi is particularly popular.

The second is the fashion industry. At that time, the textile industry in Qi was very developed. Then, he made many beautiful clothes, which were all on his clothes and hats. When other countries look at it, they say, "Oh, this Qi dress is good", so they buy it in buy buy.

in this way, Jiang Ziya took advantage of the traditional advantage of valuing commerce by Qi people, and the crown, belt, clothes and shoes made in Qi country sold well all over the world, and the human, material and financial resources of neighboring vassal countries gathered in Yingqiu, Qidu in an endless stream, which laid a solid economic foundation for Qi Huangong to dominate later.
