典故 The episode this lot is named after
姜太公在渭水用直鉤垂釣,耐心等待多年,終遇周文王賞識而成就霸業的故事。
Jiang Ziya (Tai Gong) patiently fished by the Wei River with a straight hook without bait, believing that 'only those willing will be caught.' He endured obscurity until he was eighty years old, when King Wen of Zhou finally discovered him and made him Prime Minister. It symbolizes ultimate reward for immense patience.
