This poetic couplet references the historical legend of Jiang Ziya (also known as Taiqi Gong or Jiang Shang) and King Wen of Zhou, a foundational story in Chinese culture:渭水投竿月 (The moon when the fishing rod was cast in the Wei River): This refers to Jiang Ziya living in exile and fishing by the Wei River with a straight, baitless hook. He wasn't fishing for fish, but waiting for a righteous ruler who recognized his wisdom.岐山入梦辰 (The morning the dream occurred at Mount Qi): This refers to King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty dreaming of a flying tiger with wings, a sign that a great sage was near. Following the dream, King Wen traveled to Mount Qi and discovered Jiang Ziya fishing by the river. See less
