A brief introduction to Confucius' life Confucius' surname is Kong. Zhong Ni; His father's name is Shu and his mother's surname is Yan. There is a big difference in age between them. It is said that Shu and Yan Zhizhai were 64 years old when they got married. When Confucius was three years old, his father died. Why is Confucius' famous mountain called Zhong Ni? It is said that his mother prayed to God on Mount Chuni to give birth to a son, and later gave birth to Confucius, so she named her son Qiu, nicknamed him. Another way of saying it is: Confucius' head is large and concave in the middle, shaped like a hill, hence the name Qiu. Confucius came from a poor family. When I grew up, I became a policeman in Shandong and managed the warehouse. Later, I became "commonplace". He is nine feet long (the ancient "foot" is much shorter than the present "foot"), and people call him "long man" because he is different. In the spring of 14th year (48 1 BC), Wu Shu's driver killed a wild animal while hunting in the wild, which he thought was an unlucky sign. Confucius looked at it and said, "This is Kirin." Lu Juncai took it back. Confucius saw Kirin and realized that he was not far from death, so he sighed and said, "My road is over. Then he said to his disciples, "No one knows me! Zi Gong asked Confucius, "Why did the teacher say' Nobody knows me'? Confucius replied: "I don't complain about heaven or people;" I study the face, which leads to fate. Does God know me? One day, Confucius said to himself, "That's enough! A gentleman is afraid of death, and later generations don't even know his name; My management style didn't work. How can I let future generations know me? "So according to historical records, he wrote the Spring and Autumn Annals, from ancient Lu Yingong to fourteen years of mourning, including twelve generations of monarchs. Mainly according to the historical events of Lu, to express goodwill to the Zhou Dynasty. The words are short, but the things are wide. In the past, the monarch of Wu Chu called himself "the king", but in the Spring and Autumn Period he was demoted to "the son". In the Spring and Autumn Period, in order to avoid this matter, the soil training meeting was actually a vassal shouting to the Zhou Emperor, but said that "the heavenly king worked in Heyang". There are many such examples written in the Spring and Autumn Period. Confucius stood in support of the Zhou Dynasty and never relaxed his criticism or accusation. By doing so, he can alert people who want to be kings. Therefore, historians say, "The righteous acts in the Spring and Autumn Period will make all the rebel thieves in the world afraid. "It means; The book Spring and Autumn Annals upholds justice. If this spirit is accepted, rebellious ministers and thieves all over the world will be afraid. A year later, Luz, the great disciple of Confucius, passed away. Confucius was so sad that he fell ill. Zi Gong went to see his teacher. Confucius walked at the door on crutches. When he saw Zigong coming, he said, "Here! Why did you come so late? At this point, Confucius sighed, and then gently sang: "Mount Tai collapsed! When the beam and column are broken, the philosopher (wise man) is finished! Tears came down after singing, and then he said to Zigong, "The world has been in chaos for too long. Nobody believes me. Xia people were buried in the east, Zhou people were buried in the west, and Yin people were buried between the two pillars. Last night, I dreamed that I was sitting between two pillars and being worshipped. I should be a yin person! Seven days later, Confucius died and enjoyed a life of seventy-three; It was the sixteenth year of Lu Aigong (479 BC). Confucius was buried in Lucheng North and Surabaya North. All his disciples have been in mourning for three years. Three years later, everyone shook hands and said goodbye. Only Zi Gong stayed in the cemetery and stayed in mourning for three years before leaving. There are more than 100 disciples and Lu people living near the tomb of Confucius. They call this generation. Lu people offer sacrifices to Confucius Temple on time every year, which has been handed down from generation to generation without interruption. Scholars and scholars also go to Confucius Temple to give lectures or have discussions. The tomb of Confucius covers an area of one hectare. Later generations converted it into a temple to display Confucius' clothes, Qin, books and cars (this is the later Confucius Temple). People who worship or admire Confucius go there to offer sacrifices, which have been handed down from generation to generation. Until today, Confucius is very kind to villagers and neighbors, and he is very respectful and cautious to ancestral temples and imperial courts. When talking to big officials, the attitude is very correct, and when talking to small officials, the attitude is very gentle. When eating, Confucius also pays attention to: if the fish is not fresh, or the meat is not cut correctly, don't eat it; If the seat is not straight, he will not sit down; Confucius is always hungry if a mourner sits next to him at home. If one day someone cries, Confucius can't sing or play the piano. Seeing a blind man or a filial person, even a child, Confucius' face will change. Confucius said, "Three people walk together, and one of them can be my teacher (that is, one person always has advantages and I can learn). Confucius was most worried about four things: first, his moral character was not cultivated, second, his knowledge was not paid attention to, third, his benevolence and righteousness were not imitated, and fourth, his evil deeds were not repented. In other words, one must cultivate one's own moral quality, learn knowledge, stand with benevolent people and make a fresh start. There are four things that Confucius never talks about, and that is; Strange (strange), power (violent), chaos (inverse), and gods (ghosts and gods); Because these four things are of no help to the education work (educational influence). Confucius, who traveled around the world, was from Shandong (now Jinan, Shandong). He once left his hometown for the neighboring State of Qi, but because he couldn't find a job, he went to Song and was kicked out. Later, he was trapped between Cai and Cai. Finally, he had no choice but to return to Lu. In the twentieth year of Lu (522 BC), Confucius was thirty years old. In those days, Yan Ying visited Lu and asked Confucius, "At that time, Qin was small and remote, but it dominated the world. What is the reason? Confucius said, "Although Qin is small, he is ambitious; "Although the place is remote, everything is normal. In particular, Qin Mugong can use Priscilla to appoint him as a doctor. I talked with him for three days, asked Priscilla to handle state affairs and helped him handle state affairs. He can choose people like this, how can he not dominate the country? Gong Jing was very happy after hearing this. When Confucius was 35 years old, there was a civil war in Lu, and Confucius went to Qi. In Qi State, he was very interested in talking about music with Qi's Taishi, so he learned less notes from Qi's Taishi. I was so fascinated that I didn't even know the taste of meat after eating it for three months. Qi Jinggong asked Confucius how to be a man, and Confucius answered eight words: "Jun Jun, minister, father and son. "A gentleman is like a gentleman, a servant is like a servant, a father is like a father, and a son is like a son. In other words: do what you like and recognize your identity and status. This is the way to do things. Gong Jing clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Yes, that's great! Seriously, if the king is not like a king, his officials are not like officials, his father is not like his father, and his son is not like his son, although there is enough food in the warehouse, I'm afraid I can't get it to support myself! (meaning: if you don't keep your duty, the social order of the country will be chaotic; In this way, the person who manages the warehouse will not abide by his position, and the monarch will not get food to support himself. One day, Gong Jing asked Confucius for advice again. Confucius said: "The secret of management is economy. Gong Jing was overjoyed and wanted to seal the field of Nishi to Confucius. Ying advised Gong Jing not to do this, but Gong Jing had to give up his original intention. Later, the doctor of Qi tried to kill Confucius, and Confucius fled back to Lu. When Confucius was forty-two years old (5 10 BC), Lu died and Lu succeeded to the throne. In the same year, Wu crusaded against Yue State and captured Huiji (the capital of Yue State). Wu Pai people went to visit Confucius. After talking with Confucius, he admired Confucius very much. He thinks Confucius is a saint. Later, Lu appointed Confucius as the governor of Zhongdu, and a year later, western governors all learned from Confucius. As a result, Confucius was promoted from all of them to Sikong, and then from Sikong to a great shepherd. In the tenth year (500 BC), Lu and Qi established friendly relations and met at Oracle bones. Confucius was acting as the prime minister at that time. He suggested to Ding Gong: "I heard that there must be military preparations for literary matters, and there must be military preparations for military matters; "The king to see Qi Jinggong this time, should be accompanied by officials, should take two syma. Ding Gong accepted Confucius' suggestion and sent Sima to protect his companions. At the meeting, Qi Jinggong tried to threaten Ding Gong again and again, but Confucius caught him. Gong Jing not only failed, but also was frightened by the wisdom of Confucius. When Gong Jing returned to China, he blamed the ministers. Why doesn't he help him in a gentleman's way? Instead, he taught him by rough means, which made him offend Lu. In order to apologize, Gong Jing returned all the land occupied by Lu to Lu, so the two countries reconciled. When Confucius was fifty-six, he was appointed Prime Minister and Fu, and Confucius accepted the appointment gladly. When his disciples saw it, they did not believe it. They asked Confucius, "The teacher once said to us,' A gentleman knows that a great disaster is coming, but he is not afraid at all; Knowing that a happy event is coming does not mean happiness. The teacher is all smiles today. What is the reason? Confucius knew that his disciples were questioning him, so he smiled and explained to them, "I did say these two words, but I never said that my face lit up because I was appointed acting prime minister, which would make my disciples feel glorious!" "Confucius became the prime minister for three months and managed the state of Lu in an orderly way. It's really "men and women are different" and "don't connect the road" (men and women don't mix when walking on the road; Someone lost something on the road, and no one picked it up as their own. When people in Qi knew about it, they were all afraid. They think that Confucius has strengthened his rule over Lu, and Lu will definitely dominate. In this case, Qi is a close neighbor and will definitely be occupied or annexed by Lu. There is a doctor named Li Yan in his country. He suggested that it is best to find a way to stop Lu from dominating as soon as possible. "What's the best way? Li Yan said: "There is a way. He chose eighty beautiful women, all dressed in gorgeous clothes, playing with entertainment (Kang is the name of dance music), sitting in thirty-four gorgeous cars, each pulled by four horses, and heading straight for the south gate of the capital of Lu. After Lu Ji knew it, he put on casual clothes and secretly observed these singers. After watching it for three times, he was very satisfied, so he advised lujun to watch the performances of these beautiful women. Lu watched this group of singers all day and forgot all the political affairs in North Korea. Lutz, a disciple of Confucius, sighed and said to Confucius, "The teacher can go now. Confucius hesitated and said to Luz, "Lu Jun will sacrifice in the suburbs. If he gives the meat to the doctor, I can consider not leaving him. Sure enough, Ji accepted the female music presented by Qi, and ignored the state affairs for three days, while Lu Jun went to the suburbs to offer sacrifices without giving them to the doctor. When Confucius saw this scene, he knew that the general trend had gone, so he left Shandong and traveled around the world. Confucius left Lu and went to defend the country first; Wei Linggong asked Confucius, "What is your salary in Shandong? Confucius said, "Sixty thousand stone grains a year." So Wei also gave him 60 thousand stones. (60,000 stones may be too much, maybe 60,000 buckets, then it was 2,000 stones; The weight of buckets in the Zhou Dynasty was very small. ) Confucius lived in Weiguo for ten months, and some people spoke ill of him. Confucius left Weiguo because he was afraid that Wei Jun would implicate him. Confucius wanted to go to the state of Chen, passing through Kuangcheng on the way. Disciple Yan Yuan pointed to the hole in the wall with his cane and said to Confucius, "I came in through the gap in this wall. Confucius looks like a yang hu, bullying Kuang people. The Kuang people thought that Yang Hucheng was coming again and surrounded Confucius for five days. Lutz wrote a song for fencing, and Confucius sang along with it. This song is very sad. The Kuang people were also very moved when they heard this, only to know that Confucius was not a tiger. When everyone dispersed, Confucius escaped from danger. Confucius passed Pucheng, lived for a month and returned to Wei. A lady named Nanzi in Wei Linggong, knowing that Confucius was coming, sent someone to see him and said to him, "Gentlemen from all directions, if they want to make friends with our monarch, they must come to see me first. I like meeting you. Confucius refused to go first, so he thought about it and had to go to see Nanzi. Nanzi sat behind the gauze curtain, and Confucius entered the door and bowed to the north. Behind the scenes, Nanzi also replied, and his Yu Pei kept ringing. Lutz is not happy to know; Confucius explained to Luz, "Even God hates what I don't want to do! Confucius lived in Weiguo for more than a month. Once, he sat in the same car with Gong Ling and his wife Nanzi, accompanied by eunuchs, but let Confucius sit in the back car and parade in the city. Confucius said to his disciples unhappily, "I have never seen a good and lewd person!" " "So he left Weiguo for Cao Guo. That year (495 BC), he died. Confucius passed through Cao to Song. One day, under a big tree, Confucius taught his disciples to practice various manners. Sima Huan of the Song Dynasty wanted to kill Confucius, so he sent someone to pull up the tree first. Confucius had to leave. The disciples were a little scared and advised the teacher to leave quickly. Confucius said quietly, "God gave me character. What can Huan Xuan do to me? "Confucius went to the state of Chen and was separated from his disciples. Confucius stood alone at the east gate of the city. When someone saw it, he told his disciple Zi Gong, "I saw a man standing under the east gate, with a neck like (the man who helped Dayu control water in those days) and shoulders like Zi Chan (the doctor), but from waist to toe, he was three inches shorter than Yu, and looked miserable like a homeless dog." Zi Gong found Confucius and told him what the man told him in detail. Confucius said with a smile, "My appearance is insignificant, but it is right to say that I am a stray dog! "! Not bad at all. Confucius went to the state of Chen again and stayed at a friend's house. A year later, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, attacked Chen and won three cities. He also defeated Ju Jian, the king of Yue, and won the record of Yue. Confucius lived in Chen for three years. Unfortunately, Chen is often attacked. Jin and Chu attacked Chen for strength, and Wu invaded Chen constantly. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Confucius said to his disciples, "Let's go home! So he left Chen to his disciples. Confucius passed by Pu, and Pu people detained him. Fortunately, the disciple's palace was brave enough to protect Confucius from danger. Confucius returned to China to defend his country. At this time, Wei Linggong was old and didn't care much about government affairs. He stopped turning to Confucius for help. Confucius sighed and said to himself, "If someone uses me, I can practice my politics and religion in one year and finish it in three years." But he still can't reuse it, so he has to leave the country. He wanted to go to Zhao, and walked to the Yellow River. He heard that two saints of Zhao were killed. I thought that I would not be hired when I arrived in Zhao, so I had no choice but to go back to the countryside. When Wei Linggong heard that Confucius was coming again, he asked Confucius about the art of war. Confucius replied: "I know a little about things like sacrifice;" But I know nothing about the art of war and tactics. One day, he invited Confucius to talk again. As it happens, a row of geese flew in the air. Wei Linggong looked up at the row of geese and ignored Confucius' words. Confucius was disappointed and left the country of Wei for Chen. That year (493 BC), Wei Linggong died; When his grandson succeeded to the throne, he was Wei Gongchu. In the autumn of the same year, Lu Ji was seriously ill. Knowing that he was dying, he called his son Kangzi to his side and told him, "Lu can become a powerful country, but I have sinned against Confucius;" After I die, you will definitely help lujun, you will help lujun, and you will definitely call Confucius back to help you. Sure enough, a few days later, he died, and his son Kangzi continued his father's work. He wanted to invite Confucius back to help him manage the government affairs of Lu, but a man named Gong Zhiyu reminded him: "Confucius was used in those days, but it was not always like this. The princes laughed at our inability to employ people; If we use him now, if we can't use him after he dies, we will be laughed at by others. " "So, who should we use? Kang Zi asked, and the male fish replied, "You can call Ran Qiu, a disciple of Confucius." Sure enough, Ji Kangzi sent someone to call Ran Qiu, and Ran Qiu said goodbye to the teacher. Before he left, Confucius said to his disciples, "Lu Zhaoran asked to return to China, not to use him lightly, but to use him greatly." In the second year after Ran Qiu left, Confucius lived from Chen to Cai for one year, and then from Cai to Ye. Soon, he left Ye and returned to Cai. On the way, I met two people, Chang Ju and Jie Shui Shui, who were plowing the fields there. Confucius thought they were hermits and moral people, so he sent Luz to ask for directions. Chang Ju asked Luz, "Who is the man sitting in the car?" Lutz replied, "It's Kong Qiu." "Is it lu? Lutz replied, "Exactly." "He should know the way." Jie Li asked in a heavy voice, "Then who are you?" "My name is Nakata." Lutz replied, Are you a believer in Kong Qiu? ""yes. "People who travel around the world are everywhere, but who can change this chaotic situation?" So I stopped caring about Luz, lowered my head and continued to plow. Lutz went back to Confucius and told him all these words. Confucius sighed and said slowly, "how can I be with birds and animals?" "! If the world is peaceful, I don't have to change it. Another day, Luz met an old man with a straw basket on his back and asked him, "Have you seen my teacher? The old man didn't answer, but asked Luz, "If a person doesn't work, he can't tell the difference between grains. Who is your teacher? " After that, the old man threw his crutches on the ground and began to farm. Lutz came back and told Confucius, who said, "This old man must be a hermit. When Tongzi Road went back to find the old man, the old man had already disappeared. Confucius lived in Cai for three years, which coincided with Wu cutting Chen. Chu sent troops to save Chen, and the army was stationed in the city. Chu heard that Confucius was between Cai and Cai and sent someone to invite Confucius, and Confucius also wanted to thank him. After Chen and Cai's doctors knew about it, they got together to discuss countermeasures. They all agreed that Confucius was a saint, and his words and deeds hit the key of the princes; Although he stood between Chen and Cai, doctors in both countries disagreed with Confucius. Now, the State of Chu has come to hire Confucius. If Confucius is really valued by Chu, then the doctors of Chen and Cai will be threatened. Thinking of this, they sent someone to surround Confucius in the wilderness. After a few days, Confucius ate all the dry food he brought, and most of his entourage fell ill and could not even stand up. However, Confucius was unwilling to explain the scriptures to his disciples. The great disciple Luz asked the teacher sadly, "Is it true that gentlemen sometimes fall down and out?" "? Confucius replied slowly: "A gentleman wants to be poor, and a villain who is poor does all kinds of evil. Seeing that all his disciples were unhappy, Confucius first called Luz and asked him, "There is a saying in the Book of Songs that bandits and tigers led them into the wilderness. (meaning: neither rhinoceros nor tiger, but they all ran into the wilderness) Am I wrong? Why did I get into this situation? Lutz replied, "People don't believe us. Do they think we are not kind enough? People won't let us through. Do they think we are not smart enough? Confucius said, "Is this really the case? A kind-hearted person wants others to believe him. Can we still have people like Boyi and Shu Qi (sages of the Zhou Dynasty, who would rather die in shouyangshan than work for King Wu)? If a wise man makes everything work, do we still have such a man as Prince Beagan (who died for Zhou Wang's heart)? Luz went out and Zigong came in. Confucius repeated what he had just asked Luz. Zi Gong replied: "The teacher's truth is great, so there is no room for teachers in the world. Confucius said to Zigong, "A capable farmer can farm, but he may not have a harvest; A competent craftsman is clever with everyone's wishes, even if his hands are skilled; It is logical and orderly that a gentleman can cultivate his morality, but it may not be acceptable to everyone in the world. What about now? You don't try to cultivate your own moral character, but let others accept and pay! Isn't your ambition getting farther and farther away? Zi Gong went out and Yan Hui came in. Confucius asked Yan Hui the same thing. Yan Hui replied, "Teacher, your truth is so great that there is no place in the world. Even so, teacher promotion doesn't matter much. It is because there is no space in the world that you can prove yourself a gentleman. Disciple, I am ashamed that I have not cultivated my own character. However, your moral articles are all cultivated, but they are not reused by the rulers, which is their shame. Therefore, it is impossible to recognize you as a gentleman. Hearing this, Confucius smiled and said to Yan Hui, "It is rare for the Yan family to have you as a good son! If you have money, I'm willing to take care of it for you. Confucius sent tribute to Chu, and King Zhao of Chu led troops to meet the enemy, and Confucius escaped from danger. King Zhao of Chu intends to dedicate 700 Li of the book club (twenty-five ancient houses were a "village", and each village had a "village", which was to register the people in the book club) to Confucius. Chu (official name) disagreed and said to him, "Is there an envoy sent by a prince like Zi Gong?" "No" "Is there a prime minister like Yan Hui?" "No" "Do the generals of the governors of various countries look like Luz?" "No" "So, are there any officials like Zai Yu (another disciple of Confucius) in various countries?" Zixi went on to say, "The ancestors of Chu were enfeoffed by the Zhou Dynasty. They were originally called Zinan, and their land was only fifty miles. Now, Kong Qiu tells about the system of Three Emperors and Five Emperors, praising the cause of Duke Zhou and Zhao Gong. If the king uses him, how can the State of Chu own thousands of miles of land in Fiona Fang from generation to generation? At the beginning, King Wen was at Fengfeng, picking a pickaxe. Although he owns only a few hundred miles of land, he is the king of the world. If Kong Qiu gets this fief and has wise disciples, I'm afraid it's not the blessing of Chu! Zhao Haoqi listened and did, and did not give the land to Confucius. That autumn, King Zhao of Chu died in his father's city. There is a madman in Chu called Jie Yu. Once, when he met Confucius, he sang "Phoenix! Phoenix! Why is your virtue so declining? It's useless to say you in the past, but you can be stopped in the future! It's hopeless! It's over! Politicians are dangerous now! Confucius wanted to get off and talk to him, but Jieyu quickly walked away and Confucius couldn't talk to him. So Confucius left Chu and returned home to defend his country. That year, Confucius was sixty-three, the sixth year of Lu Aigong (489 BC). The monarch of Wei wanted to hire Confucius to help him with his affairs, so Luz asked the teacher, "Wei Jun is going to ask you to help him with his affairs. What's the first thing you have to do? " Confucius said, "I want to take its name. Lutz said, "Is this true? I'm afraid what you said is too far from the right time. How can I get the name right? Confucius said, "Alas! Shit! You are so confused. If the name is not clear, then there is no point in speaking; Words don't make sense, things don't work, things don't work, and rituals (rites and music) can't develop; If the rites and music are not developed, the punishment will be wrong; If punishment is abused, people will not know what to do. A gentleman must do something and keep his word. What a gentleman says to them cannot be casually. Lu Aigong asked Confucius about the policy of governing the country, and Confucius replied, "If a king wants to govern the country, he must choose the ministers in the DPRK. Ji Kangzi asked Confucius how to govern the country. Confucius said, "Choose the upright and get rid of evil; In this way, people will believe that Ji Kangzi is afraid of being robbed or stolen from him, so Confucius told him, "If you give something you don't like to others, others won't steal from you." Unfortunately, Lu couldn't appoint Confucius, and Confucius didn't want to be an official any more. Confucius' Contribution During the Confucius era, the Zhou Dynasty was already very weak, and the rites (Book of Rites), music (Book of Music), poems (Book of Songs) and books (Book of Books) were gradually abandoned. So Confucius tried his best to restore the etiquette of the three generations, and made a preface to the Classic Book, and arranged the major events of the past dynasties in order from the ancient Tang Yu to the Qin Mugong era. There were 3,000 books of songs in ancient times. When he got to Confucius, he deleted all the repetitions and took out all the ones that could be used for courtesy. From the earliest Deed and Houji, through the heyday of the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, to the period of Wang You and Wang Li, he rearranged all the missing parts. So he said, "Guan Ju is the beginning of the national wind, Luming Literature is the beginning of Xiaoya, King Wen is the head of elegance, and Qing Palace is the beginning of ode. There are 305 "The Book of Songs", and each capital is sung by Confucius with piano accompaniment, in order to make it conform to the standard of "Song of Shao Wu Ya" (the full name of orthodox music); From then on, "Li" and "Yue" were correctly described, which made "Wang Dao" complete, and Confucius liked "Li", "Yue", "Shooting", "Imperial", "Shu" and "Shu" in his later years. He once said to his disciples, "If I live a few more years, I will know more about the Book of Changes. Confucius' Teaching Confucius taught his disciples poetry, books, rituals and music. There are 3,000 disciples, and only 72 of them can master the Six Arts (Six Classics: the number of books shot by rites and music). Confucius not only taught his disciples reading and learning skills, but also paid attention to their character cultivation. He taught his disciples four words: Wen (gentle, not rude), conduct (character) and faith (trustworthy, keeping your word). Confucius warned his disciples that they must pay attention to four points in their thoughts and actions: (1) should not be willful; (2) Don't be opinionated, it doesn't matter if others agree or disagree; (3) Don't be stubborn about what you can or can't do; (4) Don't be self-centered, follow the truth and don't express yourself. Confucius also told his disciples to be careful about three things: (1) Don't compare with others; (2) Don't fight with others; (3) Don't act rashly. Confucius seldom talked about the three topics of "profit" (that is, making money by making profits), "destiny" (destiny) and "benevolence". Mainly because few people can do it, so Confucius doesn't often mention it. When people have different views on Confucius, Zi Gong once said; "We often hear the teacher's articles, but we have never heard the teacher talk about things like' heaven' and' fate' (that is,' heaven' and' fate'). Yan Yuan also said with emotion; " I looked at him on my back, and the higher I looked, the more I could hardly see him. I delve into his knowledge, and the harder I work, the more I can get. I just saw him in front, and suddenly he appeared behind me. The teacher methodically advised us to study and make progress; Educate me with articles and discipline me with etiquette. I don't think I can do it without learning. He tried his best to help me develop my talents. I seem to be able to stand up, but I can't keep up with his greatness. Neighbors living in Daxiang praised Confucius and said with one voice; "Confucius is really great! He is so knowledgeable, but he is not famous. Confucius said to himself after hearing this. " What do I know? Are you driving? Or archery? Let me drive! His disciple Zi Prison said that the teacher once said, "Because I am not an official in the imperial court, I can get a lot of skills. 』」
