This is because Confucius valued Yan Hui's indifference and open-mindedness. He was gifted and wise, and he could quickly understand the teacher's teaching. He practiced Confucius' theory, and thought that his talents and wisdom could be used by the world, so he did his own thing, and if they were not used by the world, he was immune to it.

At the age of thirteen, I worshipped Confucius as a teacher and taught him all my life. He is the most proud student of Confucius. Confucius praised Yan Hui most, for his studious and caring. Let's take a look at the profile of Yan Hui. Yan Hui, Cao, Yan, Minghui, Ziyuan, Shandong people, lived in a mean alley. He was honored as Fu Sheng Yan Zi, a thinker of Lu in the late Spring and Autumn Period, and the head of Confucius' seventy-two sages.

After Yan Hui's death, Confucius said, "Those who have Yan Hui are eager to learn, and will never get angry or fail. Unfortunately, I am short-lived! " Since the Tang Dynasty, Yan Hui has been named the Confucius Temple, and it is also called "Confucius Yan" with Confucius. The name of "Restoration of Saints" in Yuan Dynasty had a far-reaching influence on later generations. After the Han Dynasty, the rulers of past dynasties spoke highly of Yan Hui. "Shu Wei" says: "Education is the foundation of the country; It's time to learn a lesson ... release Mo Kongyan. "

Lu Aigong asked Confucius again, who is the best student? Confucius said without thinking: There was a student named Yan Hui who didn't make the same mistake even though he hated others. It's a pity that he died young, and there are no such studious people now.

All his life, he yearned for an ideal society in which "the monarch and the minister are United, the upper and lower levels are harmonious, the people of all ages are well-fed and well-dressed, and the world is peaceful". Yan Hui is famous for its virtue. In strict accordance with Confucius' requirements of "benevolence" and "courtesy", we are "sensitive to things and cautious about words". Therefore, Confucius often praised Yan Hui's four virtues as gentlemen, that is, they are stronger than doing righteousness, weaker than remonstrating, eager to be generous, and cautious about governing themselves.

Yan Hui respected teachers and respected Taoism, and tried to practice Confucius' theory. For example, attach importance to education. I think this should also be a student that every teacher likes. Yan Hui was born in poverty and lived in poverty since childhood, but he was able to live in poverty.
