Synopsis

In the troubled times of the late Shang Dynasty, Jiang Ziya, a white-haired hermit, fished in the Wei River with a straight hook, waiting for an opportunity that would change his life. King Wen of Zhou fell into a dream, looking for wise men, and revealed the game between man and God. Questions from the court, assassinations from the Shang Dynasty, and the incarnation of the nine-tailed fox stirred up the alliance of princes. Jiang Ziya used the "Six Tao" as a blade to break through the nine rebirths and death barriers, but was punished by heaven in the decisive battle in Muye - the list of gods concealed the curse of "being trapped in the divine position forever". In order to protect the soul of his disciple, he gambled his life to make a deal with the mountain god, and used the sky thunder to smash the true body of the nine-tailed fox, and finally put an end to the tyranny of Shang Zhou with his mortal body. In his later years, he passed on the straight hook to young people: "The bait is in the hearts of all living beings." Thousands of years later, the Wei River is still flowing, and the wisdom of catching the world without bait is still ringing in the smoke of troubled times.

Reader comments

Ping Yi's "Supreme Wisdom: The Legend of Jiang Ziya" takes readers into the turbulent era of the late Shang Dynasty, and the image of Jiang Ziya emerges vividly on the page. He uses a straight hook to fish in the Weishui River. His uniqueness and confidence add mystery to the story, showing his extraordinary wisdom and patience. People can't help but look forward to his legendary experience. The novel cleverly blends historical and fantasy elements. The description of the social chaos at the end of the Shang Dynasty, such as King Zhou's debauchery and the suffering of the people, vividly reproduces the cruelty of that troubled era; while Jiang Ziya's wisdom and strategy, his battle of wits and courage with Daji, and King Wen's dream of a flying bear and other fantastic plots give the story a mysterious cloak, making the plot ups and downs and full of attraction. The characters in the book are delicately portrayed. Jiang Ziya cares about the world, is extremely intelligent, and is neither humble nor overbearing when faced with doubts; Ji Chang is thirsty for talents and is determined; Daji is cunning and cunning. The interactions and conflicts between them promote the development of the story and immerse the readers in it. Overall, the novel shows Jiang Ziya's legendary life through wonderful plots and distinctive characters, and also triggers people's thinking about wisdom, justice and history. It is a masterpiece worth savoring.
