Why is Jiang Ziya also called Lu Shang?

Lu Shang, surnamed Jiang, was born in Dongli Township (now East of Rizhao City). His ancestor Boyi was in charge of the four mountains and was sealed in Lu (now Wanxian County, Henan Province). His descendants changed their surnames from fiefs, hence the name Lushang.

Lu Shang is Jiang Ziya, a coastal person in the East China Sea. His ancestors once assisted Yu in water control, and because of his contribution to Lu, he took Lu as his surname and Jiang as his surname.

In ancient China, surnames were the product of matriarchal clans, so surnames were "women". Later, a surname was dominated by men. After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were more and more surnames, and surnames and surnames gradually merged into one, and now they are called surnames.

Lu Shang was named "Lu Shang" because he was a teacher at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, and he was respectfully called "a teacher is still a father". Because of the influence of the Romance of Gods, we still like to call him Jiang Ziya.

Extended data:

1, half-life poor:

Jiang Ziya, also known as Jiang Shang, is from the East China Sea. His ancestors used to be officials of Sishan and helped Yu Xia to control water and soil. Shun and Yu were sealed in Lu (now Nanyang West, Henan Province), so they were also called Lu merchants.

Some were sealed in Shen, surnamed Jiang. During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, Shen, Lu and others were sealed as descendants and some became civilians, and Lu Shang was their distant descendant. Lu Shang was originally surnamed Jiang, and was named after the fief, so he was called Lu Shang.

When Jiang Ziya was born, his family had already declined, so when Jiang Ziya was young, he worked as a butcher who slaughtered cattle and sold meat, and also opened a hotel to sell wine.

However, Jiang Ziya people are not lacking in ambition. Whether they are slaughtering cattle or doing business, they always study astronomy, geography and military strategy tirelessly, and study the way to run the country and make it safe, hoping to display their talents for the country one day. But until they are 70 years old, they are still useless and live at home.

2. Character achievements:

Jiang Ziya's life is full of ups and downs, vigorous and mysterious. Throughout his life, Jiang Ziya made outstanding contributions in military, political, economic and other aspects, especially in the military. Therefore, Tai Shigong said that "the words of later generations and the yin power of the Zhou Dynasty are all based on Tai Gong", which can be called the originator and source of military strategists.

Jiang Ziya is an all-powerful figure in the history of China, a "high, big and all-round" image on the literary stage of China, and a deity above the gods on the altar of China. As a religious deity, he is Wu Shen, a wise deity, and regarded as the protector of "the squire is here, and forgives all".

Since Qi Huangong's father in ancient times, the Zhou Dynasty has been looking forward to getting a saint, a talented person who can make the country rich and strong, and help Zhou realize the task of eliminating Yin and prospering Zhou. Therefore, it is called "King Taigong". When the King of Wu was in power, it was commensurate with "the teacher is still the father" and it was difficult to stay away from the dignitaries.

King Wen named Taigong "Taishi" and was the highest official of the "Three Fairs" in the Western Zhou Dynasty. He not only presided over the army, but also asked about politics. There is a saying that "three points in the world, two points belong to Zhou, and the squire has many plans", which shows the importance of squire in Zhou Dynasty.

Jiang Ziya lived in poverty for half his life, and he was indecisive about choosing a master. But he was patient, observed the situation and waited for the opportunity, and finally met a master to help Ji Chang and Xiu De strengthen their martial arts and prosper the Zhou Dynasty.

Zhou Wuwang defeated Zhou, Taigong was the strategist, and Konoha fought to destroy the business, making the first contribution. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, Jiang Ziya was made the monarch of Qi. He managed the country well and built a great country. The legacy still exists, which laid the foundation for Qi Huangong's "Nine Kings conquered the world and became the first of the five tyrants".
