JIANG ZiYA

 

Jiang Ziya, a Chinese semi-mythological figure, resided  next  to the Weishui River about 3,000 years ago.
He often went angling at the Weishui River, but he would fish in a bizarre way.
He hung a straight hook, with no bait, three feet above the water. He over and over again said to himself,
"Fish, if you are desperate to live, come and gulp down the hook by yourself."
