When talking about fishing in China，Jiang Tai Gong is very likely to be the first name that would come to people's mind.
The story happened in the late years of the Shang dynasty.Jiang Tai Gong once served the king of Shang dynasty，and began to hate him for tyranny from the bottom of heart.Jiang Tai Gong was a genius in military tactics and government management.He lived near the Weihe River about 3，000 years ago.The area was the feudal estate of Count Ji Chang.Jiang Tai Gong knew Ji Chang was very ambitious，so he hoped to get Ji's attention.
He often went fishing at the Weihe River，but he would fish in an unusual way.He hung a straight fishhook，without bait，three feet above the water.Lookers-on were curious about it，and Jiang Tai Gong explained，"I would like to take honestly rather than to ask for with the knees down.I fish not for the fish but for the nobility（高貴）."Later words traveled to Count Ji.He sent a soldier to invite him.Jiang Tai Gong ignored the solider，going on with fishing，and was talking to himself，"Fishing，fishing，no fish has been hooked. A shrimp is up to mischief（惡作?。?"The soldier reported this back to Ji Chang，who became more interested in this man.Then，Count Ji sent an official to invite him.It didn't work.Finally Ji Chang realized Jiang may be a genius，so he went to invite Jiang Tai Gong himself.Jiang saw his sincerity and honesty and finally decided to work for him.In the end，Jiang Tai Gong helped Count Ji and his offspring build a great power and build up Zhou dynasty——a great dynasty.
Today，people use the old idiom There are always fish willing to be caught by angler Jiang Taigong to describe someone who willingly falls in a trap or does something no matter what the result is.This idiom has been passed on from generation to generation.To some degree，it could be regarded as a part of Chinese philosophy.
