first major story

Most likely not. Many stories labeled as 'Major' are works of imagination, crafted by authors to entertain and engage readers/viewers. They might incorporate common themes or situations, but they aren't factual accounts.

The answer varies. Some major stories are completely real, documenting actual happenings. But others are fictional creations that might draw inspiration from real-world concepts or themes.

The major story of the Investiture of the Gods was as follows: After King Zhou ascended the throne, he wrote obscene poems on the wall to tease Nu Wa when he worshipped Nu Wa Temple. Nu Wa summoned fox spirits to disturb the world. The fox spirit possessed Su Hu's daughter, Daji, and became King Zhou's concubine. She bewitched King Zhou and made him waste money and manpower to build many huge projects. He set up meat forests and wine ponds for his pleasure. He also set up tortures such as guns and basins to punish the loyal officials who remonstrated. Cheng Tang's life was gradually exhausted. Su Daji killed Empress Jiang, hunted down two little princes, and killed many dukes. Ji Chang, the Marquis of the West, was imprisoned in Yuli for seven years. His eldest son Bo Yikao went to Beijing to plead for his father and was chopped into meat sauce and made into cakes for Ji Chang to eat. After Ji Chang ate them reluctantly, he was persuaded by the treacherous minister Fei Zhongyou Hun to let King Zhou go back to Xiqi. Jiang Ziya was a disciple of the Heavenly Lord of the Origin. At the age of 72, he cultivated Taoism and was ordered to go down the mountain. After being persecuted by King Zhou, he went to Xiqi to fish in the Wei River. King Wen of Zhou dreamed that a flying bear flew into his arms. When he was hunting in the Wei River, he met Jiang Ziya and worshiped him as prime minister. King Wen soon died of illness. King Wu Ji Fa ascended the throne and respected Jiang Ziya as his father. Huang Feihu, King of Wucheng, could not bear it anymore and left Zhaoge to go to Xiqi because King Zhou molested his princess, Jia, causing Jia to fall off a building and kill Empress Huang. King Zhou hated Xi Qi's growing power and sent 36 troops to attack. According to the destiny, the Zhou Dynasty should be destroyed and the Zhou Dynasty should be revived. The three religions jointly set up the Investiture of the Gods, with Jiang Ziya as the god. The Chan and Jie religions helped the Zhou and Shang dynasties to fight hard. Jiang Ziya assisted King Wu. After fifteen years of fighting, he defeated the 36 armies of Chengtang. Many generals of the Shang Dynasty either died or surrendered. The Western Zhou army gradually became stronger. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
