After Confucius came to Qi, he made a living as a servant for Gao, which was equivalent to the fact that Gao was a small court. He is one of the servants, but his actual work is equivalent to housekeeping and so on. Later, after Confucius returned to China, he was appreciated by the Duke of Lu at that time and decided to appoint Confucius to help manage this place. Confucius did a good job. Duke Lu appointed Confucius as Sikong to manage his own private land. At this time, an opportunity appeared. The original shepherd of Lu died, and Duke Lu needed someone who was proficient in foreign manners to accompany him to meet other princes, so he promoted Confucius as a shepherd to accompany him. Scott is equivalent to the current foreign minister, which is the biggest official Confucius has ever done in his life.
Confucius devoted his life to the development of education. In fact, being an official is not very important to him. All his life's efforts have been devoted to the great cause of education. He also left many famous sayings in his life and was called "the sage of Confucius" by later generations. I think this is his glory compared with being an official. After all, of all the senior officials in history, only Confucius deserves to be called a "saint", and this honor is supreme.
