Jiang Ziya (fl. 11th century BC) often goes fishing with a straight hook, so that even if the fish bites the hook, it can escape easily and will not be caught. Jiang Ziyu deliberately uses this unusual way of fishing to attract the curiosity of those who see him, and to express his thought that "those who wants to get caught, gets caught."
