🌟【Jiang Ziya Diaoyutai in Baoji｜Traveling through 3000 years See where the legend of "The Willing One Takes the Bait" took place】🌟 📖 Historical Stories｜The truth about Jiang Taigong fishing This is where Jiang Ziya, the "Grandmaster of a Hundred Schools of Thought", lived in seclusion and fished. It is also the origin of the saying "He who is willing will take the bait". - Legend begins: At the end of the Shang Dynasty, 70-year-old Jiang Ziya fished here with a straight hook, attracting King Wen of Zhou to visit. The phrase "It is better to take the straight path than to seek the crooked one" fully expresses his wisdom and character. - Turning the tide: He helped King Wu of Zhou to destroy the Shang Dynasty and establish the Zhou Dynasty, and was deified and given a title of nobility. From then on, Diaoyutai became a symbol of "forbearance and waiting for the right time." - Historical certification: A monument was erected in the Tang Dynasty and repaired in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The ruins of the ancient Diaoyutai and the Taigong Temple built in the Song Dynasty are still preserved. 🌟Highlights: [One] Diaoyutai Ruins - There is a blue stone by the stream with two deep marks on it, which are said to be left by Jiang Taigong kneeling for a long time fishing. Touch it to get the blessing of "late bloomer". [Two] Huangshi (Natural "Diaoyutai") - There is a natural boulder in the stream that looks like a jade pendant, with the words "孕環遗璞" engraved on it. It reflects the beautiful scenery in the clear water on a sunny day. [Three]Tai Gong Temple & Wen Wang Temple - An ancient building from the Ming Dynasty, with a statue of Jiang Ziya holding the List of Gods, and towering ancient cypresses in the Wenwang Temple. You can feel the weight of history in the air filled with incense. [Four] Bukit Tung - The cave where the woodcutter Wu Ji was enlightened by Jiang Ziya is cool and shady inside the cave, and at the entrance of the cave one can see the rushing stream like a long river of time. --- 📝Note tips: ✔ What to wear: Lightweight non-slip shoes (some stone steps are slippery), bring mosquito repellent in summer ✔📸Photo spots: bamboo bridge beside Huangshi, red wall and ancient trees of Taigong Temple, rocky beach beside the stream ✔ Stop by: On the way back, you can go to Famen Temple (40 minutes by car) or the Bronze Museum (in the city) 🍲Recommended dishes: Must-order items at the farmhouse: pork ribs with sauerkraut, cold-mixed ash-green vegetables, freshly ground corn porridge - Must-try for snack lovers: Tianwangzhen rolled noodles (spicy and sour!) + honey glutinous rice dumplings - Bring your own snacks: It is recommended to bring some dry food as there are few restaurants in the scenic area. ❤Recommendation reason: This is not just a stone or a temple, but also a thousand-year-old philosophical symbol of the Chinese people's "waiting and opportunity". Standing on Jiang Taigong's fishing platform and watching the water of Pan Creek flowing through the rocks, you will suddenly understand: the best opportunities in life may be hidden in seemingly useless persistence.

Jiang Ziya's Diaoyutai is located in Tianwang Town, Chencang District, Baoji City, nestled against the Qinling Mountains to the south and overlooking the Wei River to the north. The historical allusion of 'Jiang Ziya fishing, King Wen of Zhou seeking and inviting the wise' took place here. A temple was established during the Han Dynasty, with palatial temples built against the mountain, majestic in stature; the huge 'Diaohuanglingji' stone, resembling a hill with kneeling marks still visible, is known as China's number one 'Kneeling Stone'; four 'Tang Cypress' trees so thick it takes three people to encircle them; Wenwang Temple, Taigong Temple, Sanqing Temple... A valley stretching for kilometers, filled with peculiar rocks, connected emerald pools, and secluded bridges and paths... During the Ming Dynasty, Xu Zhonglin mythologized Jiang Ziya in his work 'Fengshen Yanyi', making Jiang Ziya well-known among men and women, both in China and Southeast Asia: riding a creature with features of four different animals, wielding the God-Beating Whip, the Wujixinghuang Flag, and the God-Sealing Scroll, but that is merely a work of mythological fiction. Jiang Ziya was indeed a historical figure, a great politician, military strategist, tactician, and diplomat who had a profound impact on Chinese history. Jiang Ziya's surname was Jiang, his given name Shang, styled Ziya, and he was honored by King Wen of Zhou as 'Taigong Wang', hence later generations revered him as 'Jiang Taigong'. Since Jiang Taigong and his descendants were enfeoffed in the Qi region, he was also known as 'Qi Taigong'. Baoji's Jiang Taigong Diaoyutai became a sacred place for generations because of his acquaintance with King Wen of Zhou, and it is famous in the world for Jiang Taigong's fishing, thus being revered by fishing enthusiasts as the 'Ancestor of Fishing'. Alas.
