Confucius, the most famous ancient historical celebrity in China, is not one of them. Confucius is famous and respected by later generations. Anyone who dares to criticize him, someone dares to come out and chop you alive, and you don't have to go to jail. Although Confucius had a great reputation in later generations, he was very bumpy when he was alive. He traveled around the world, lost his ambition, lived without a fixed place, ran around, and eventually died. Although he had some ups and downs before his death, compared with the reputation of later generations, these ups and downs were worthwhile.
Confucius' reputation comes from his theory, but Liu Bang's worship and attention, as well as promotion, are also very important reasons. Confucius' theory was very advanced at that time, and many people were limited and could not understand its goodness. Later generations gradually discovered his excellence with the development of society. Liu Bang was the emperor who discovered the excellent theory of Confucius, so he worshipped Confucius and adopted new theories to govern the country.
Liu Bang, the founder of the Western Han Dynasty. Although the Qin Dynasty of Qin Shihuang was the first dynasty in China, Liu Bang's Western Han Dynasty was the first dynasty in China in a strict sense. After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang has been looking for a way to govern the country. Both the Qin Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period failed in verification. In other words, at that time, there was no proper way to govern the country.
Slowly, among many theories, Liu Bang dug up Confucianism (Confucius) and found it more suitable for governing the country, so he adopted it and found it really effective, so he vigorously promoted it. It is natural to worship Confucius. Facts have proved that this set is really useful, so many emperors in later generations also worshipped Confucius.
