The novel "Visiting the Wise in the Wei River" originates from the story of King Wen and Jiang Taigong. Jiang Taigong was a strategist with military skills, but was treacherous in times and did not have a clear leader. At the age of eighty, he caught a fish in the Wei River. King Wen personally visited Prince Wen in the Wei River to worship him as a prime minister and assist in political affairs. As a result, Jiang Taigong helped King Wen eliminate the Shang Dynasty and establish the Zhou Dynasty. A group of gongs and drums are enthusiastic and energetic, which is like seeing the honor guard team start their way with gongs, horses, chariots and chariots winding along the trail. An elderly man by the river, with white hair and beard, resembling an immortal, fishing alone in the Wei River, holding a fishing rod as stable as a mountain; King Wen sat by the water to watch the old man fishing, and how to fish with a straight hook was the wish of those who took the bait. The Jinghu is cheerful, the drumsticks are bright, and the two are in harmony, like a fish in water, like King Wen and Duke Tai, empathizing with each other and hating each other too late!
