Confucius was a great thinker and educator in ancient China, and he had a far-reaching influence and an important position in the history of China and even in the history of world culture. Confucius is the founder of Confucianism. He advocates "benevolence" and "courtesy", that is, "the benevolent loves others" and "self-denial". To realize benevolence, we must follow the golden mean, which has practical value for dealing with the relationship between people and guiding significance for the harmonious relationship between man and nature.
Confucius believes that filial piety is the foundation of benevolence. Filial piety is not only to support the elderly, but also to respect parents and elders, which is an attitude problem. If you only support disrespect, it is no different from raising animals. If a person does not even show filial piety to his parents, but respects others, it is not normal, so first look at whether a person's character is filial.
As a saint and master, Confucius is most praised for his creation, perfection and teaching of Confucianism. In order to spread his ideas better, he initiated the style of private teaching and advocated teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. Therefore, his disciples can be described as diverse, among which Yan Hui, Luz and Zigong achieved the highest results.
Yan Yuan's life is hard, but he is content with poverty. He inherited Confucius' theory of "benevolence and forgiveness" (benevolence and tolerance), loved learning very much and could draw inferences from others. Among Confucius' disciples, his knowledge is outstanding. Yan Hui unfortunately died in middle age, and Confucius was deeply saddened. He patted his chest and lamented: "The death of Yan Hui was an act of God!" It can be seen that Yan Hui held an important position in the teacher's mind at that time.
Luz, whose name is Zhong You, is also called Lu Ji. He is honest and straightforward, strong and brave, with political talent and more proficient in military affairs. Lutz used to be a doctor who defended his country. He made great achievements and won the admiration of Confucius. Zi Gong, whose real name is Duanmu Ci. He is eloquent, his family is rich and he is good at doing business. Thanks to Zi Gong's support, Confucius and others were able to travel around the world with their belongings in luxurious carriages and publicize Confucianism. After the death of Confucius, Zi Gong mourned for six years and expressed his deep sorrow for his teacher.
