Chapter 133
"You've eaten and drunk enough. Let's go out and play! If it weren't so cold, we could just go surfing in the sea and everything would be fine."
Qi Cheng thought about it and found that there was indeed a project that was suitable for Zhou Lu at this time, which was the project of catching fish with bare hands. Most people would be out of breath after playing this game.
There should be such a project nearby. After Qi Cheng found it, he pushed Zhou Lu in and told him that the fish he caught today would be his dinner. If he didn't catch any fish, he would have to go hungry at night.
……
The ancients of all dynasties were somewhat puzzled. How could they catch fish in a pond? Why did they have to use their hands? Later generations also had fishing nets and fish hooks.

"There shouldn't be a shortage of fish in the pond. Most people are just there for fun," Li Si reported to the Emperor in a low voice. "It's still a bit difficult for most people to catch fish with their bare hands."
However, watching Zhou Lu flapping his fish back and forth in the pond, Li Si felt a little helpless. Catching fish with bare hands was difficult, but not that difficult. He felt that if he were there, he could catch all the fish.
……
"Why is this so difficult? If I had a fishhook, I could catch all these fish." Zhou Lu wiped the sweat from his forehead, "You are so comfortable, sitting comfortably on the fishing platform.
"Of course I'm not heartbroken."
Zhou Lu had no choice but to go back and continue fighting.
After struggling in the pond for a long time, he still didn't catch a single fish. The people outside the tent couldn't stand it anymore, because this is not how you catch fish!
You should not move at first, wait for the fish to come close, slowly drive them to the corner, and then scoop them up. If you move around in the pond, you won't catch any fish.
Qi Cheng and the others were getting a little impatient, so they reached out and picked up the merchant's brochure, which not only contained methods of fishing, but also several short stories about fishing.
The first is the story of Jiang Taigong fishing. This story should be familiar to modern people, but for ancient people, it is really attractive.
King Wen of Zhou delayed for 800 steps, and Jiang Ziya protected the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years. Isn't this a perfect cause and effect?

Qin Shihuang calculated carefully and found that the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty lasted for about 800 years. In fact, it was Qin himself who destroyed the Zhou Dynasty.
However, he did not really believe that Jiang Ziya saved the Zhou Dynasty, because they had already existed in name only many years before the Qin Dynasty destroyed them.
Moreover, Jiang Ziya was granted fiefdom in Qi State, but he could not even keep his fiefdom and was replaced by the Tian family.
This story is more likely to have been made up by later generations based on the time of the Zhou Dynasty's demise.
The next story is about Wang Xiang lying on the ice to catch a carp, which happened in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It is said that Wang Xiang was very filial to his stepmother. In the middle of winter, he went to the river, used his body to melt the ice, and caught a carp.
When Qi Cheng first read this story as a child, he felt that Wang Xiang was so pitiful, being forced by his stepmother to catch fish in the cold river.
Looking at this story again now, Qi Cheng already has a filter. Wang Xiang came from the Langya Wang family, where Wang and Ma shared the world. During the time of Sima Yan in the Western Jin Dynasty, Wang Kai was competing with others for wealth.
Now let’s look at Wang Kai, who is of the same generation as Wang Xiang’s nephew.
Moreover, Wang Xiang still stood on the side of the Sima family, although his relationship with the death of Cao Mao, the Duke of Gaogui, was not as great as that of Cheng Ji and Jia Chong.
But there is also a certain responsibility.
Fortunately, the Jin Dynasty was a holy dynasty that ruled the world with filial piety, not loyalty.
Three Kingdoms
Cao Cao shook his head as he watched Wang Xiang lying on the ice to catch a carp. He thought this was a way for a famous scholar to maintain his reputation. He never expected that it would be recorded as one of the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars in later generations.
At that time, the system of recommendation was generally used, so if you wanted to get the attention of high-ranking officials, you must tell some unique stories, such as Kong Rong's story of giving away pears.
