Yesterday, I looked up the formation of The Analects of Confucius on the Internet, and found that it is said that Six Shu refers to the dance of forty-eight, which is different from my previous understanding that Eight Shu is an 8×8 square, Six Shu is a 6×6 square and Four Shu is a 4×4 square. I also explained this point in the Analects of Confucius before, fearing that I would write something because of ignorance. (Analects of Confucius-Bashu 3. 1 tolerable)

It can be seen that Liu Shu refers to a 6×6 dance array of 36 people.

In addition, I want to say that I plan to write another article, and if I make a mistake, I will record it. Why did I choose to mark the error instead of modifying the original text? I have these two reasons:

First of all, make a note to deepen your impression.

I don't study history. In the process of learning, it is inevitable to absorb some inaccurate content. What I want to do is not to make up the gap and make people look perfect, but to mark the wrong places and impress myself and others.

Second, find bright spots and make continuous progress.

Learning itself is a process of continuous iteration, and continuous iteration is to find out the doubts and contradictions of previous learning and try every means to find information for verification. I think these things just show that I am curious and willing to explore the truth aboveboard. Quality is more important than the answer. Only with these qualities can I go further.

Of course, I checked the information and found that what I wrote before was correct. I just take this opportunity to deepen my impression.
