Jiang Ziya was a student of the Celestial Venerable of the Primordial Beginning, who is also known as the Jade Pure One and one of the most supreme gods in the Chinese mythology. After faithfully serving the Shang court for approximately twenty years, Jiang came to find Emperor Dixin insufferable, and feigned madness in order to escape court life and the ruler's power. Jiang was an expert in military knowlages and hoped that someday someone would call on him to help overthrow the Emperor. Jiang disappeared, only to resurface in the countryside at the apocryphal age of seventy-two, when he was recruited by Lord Wen of Zhou and became the Prime Minister of the new court. It is said that, while in exile, he continued to wait placidly, fishing in a tributary of the Wei River using a barbless hook or even no hook at all, on the theory that the fish would come to him of their own volition when they were ready.
