Is “Virtuous queen managing internal affairs and King Tai's relocation to Qi” true?
The Records of the Grand Historian, Zhou Benji, and the Biographies of Exemplary Women, Mu Yi Zhuan, record that Tai Jiang was the principal consort of Gugong Danfu, virtuous and obedient, leading and participating in the relocation of the capital to Mount Qi; the novel's mention of the virtuous queen of the Zhou dynasty's founding matches official history. According to the Records of the Grand Historian, Zhou Benji (Part 1), the original text states: 「太姜生少子季历，季历娶太任，皆贤妇人，生昌，有圣瑞。」
Tai Jiang, the principal wife of King Tai of Zhou, is recorded in both official histories and legends as virtuous and involved in the relocation to Mount Qi.
