Chapter 607 Confucius
In addition to Lao Tzu, the Taoist great master, there is another great master in the academy, that is the Confucian sage—Confucius.

Confucius (September 551, 9 BC-April 28, 479 BC) was born in Zouyi, Lu State (now Qufu, Shandong), and his ancestral home was Liyi, Song State (now Qufu, Shandong). Xiayi, Henan), a famous thinker and educator in China.Confucius created the atmosphere of private lectures and was the founder of Confucianism.Confucius was taught by Lao Tzu and led some of his disciples to travel around the world for 4 years. In his later years, he revised the Six Classics, namely "Poetry", "Book", "Li", "Music", "Yi" and "Spring and Autumn".According to legend, he had three thousand disciples, including 11 sages.After the death of Confucius, his disciples and their disciples recorded the words, deeds, quotations and thoughts of Confucius and his disciples, and compiled them into the Confucian classic "The Analects of Confucius".In ancient times, Confucius was revered as "the sage of heaven" and "Muduo of heaven". He was one of the most knowledgeable scholars in the society at that time. The most holy Wenxuan Wang Xianshi, the teacher of all ages.Its Confucianism has a profound influence on China and the world, and Confucius is listed as the first among the "Top Ten Cultural Celebrities in the World".Confucius is revered as the ancestor of Confucianism (not Confucianism). With the expansion of Confucius' influence, Confucius sacrifices once became "great sacrifices" on the same level as God and the ancestor god of the country.

Confucius was born in aristocratic family, and Confucius was born with Qilou, with a polder top on his head (yú dǐng, meaning sunken head), and because his mother prayed in Niqiu Mountain, he was named "Qiu" and the word "Zhongni".Although he had stepped into an official career, he was not very satisfied. Then at the age of 40, he finally realized the Tao and began his legendary life of practice.

Confucius constructed a complete ideological system of "morality and morality": at the individual level, he advocated the virtues and virtues of "benevolence and propriety".The system of morality and Taoism is based on the theory of nature and goodness ("one yin and one yang are called Tao, the successor is good, and the success of it is nature"), with the purpose of establishing the extremes of people ("the way of the three poles"), with The way of humanity, the way of heaven, and the way of the earth are interlinked, and the way of humanity is moderate and timely turned into a complete ideological system of methodology.Confucius' theory of benevolence embodies the spirit of humanity, and Confucius' theory of rites embodies the spirit of ritual system, that is, order and system in the modern sense.Humanism is an eternal theme of human beings, applicable to any society, any era, and any government, and an orderly and institutional society is the basic requirement for establishing a civilized human society.Confucius' spirit of humanitarianism and order is the essence of ancient Chinese social and political thought.The highest ideal of Confucius in his later years was called "Datong". In the world of Datong, people in the world not only regard their own family as relatives, not only love their parents and children, but respect and love each other, and love all people in the world. .So that old age can be fulfilled and growth can be useful, children can get warmth and care, lonely people and disabled people can rely on something, men can have their own affairs, and women can have a satisfactory home.In the world there is no cheating, no robbers, no looting on the roads, no closed doors at night, everyone keeps faith and repairs harmony, selects talents and promotes talents, and walks on the road, the world is one for the public.

This kind of thinking is not outdated even today, but unfortunately in that era these thoughts were just useless thoughts, and they were not of much use in the historical time at that time. After the thought was introduced by a man named Dong Zhongshu to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who was one emperor throughout the ages, the idea of ​​"dismissing all schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" has continued until now, and even now it has influenced countless people. Although Confucius' thought has made many Thinking about it has disappeared into the dust of history, but it has to be said that his thought is an extremely noble thought, and it is also an admirable thought.

However, apart from the historical status of Confucius, Confucius is the most powerful, and what Zhou Kai admires the most is not Confucius' achievements in thinking, but his educational achievements.

Yan Hui, a native of the state of Lu, was named Hui, named Ziyuan, also known as Yan Yuan. 72 The head of the sages, the head of the ten sages, and one of the five sages of Confucianism, was called Fusheng by later generations.

Zeng Shen, courtesy name Ziyu, was born in Nanwucheng.The teacher of Confucius' grandson Zisi, one of the five sages of Confucianism, was honored as Zongsheng by later generations.A statesman in the early Warring States period and the teacher of military strategist Wu Qi.

Ran Yong, a native of Lu, styled Zhonggong, was from the clan of Ran Geng.Confucius regarded it as virtuous, and said: "Yong can also be sent to the south." Zhonggong is Ran Boniu's "clan" and was born to an unworthy father.Honest and generous, one of the ten philosophers of Confucianism, known for his virtues in Confucianism, he studied under Confucius in his early years, and Confucius praised him as the king of the south. "The Analects" recorded his name and characters 11 times, and "The Analects" respected Ran Yong He is a disciple of Confucius' four great virtues.

……

It can be said that just a few people are all outstanding people in the world. The elite colleges have also recruited a few students of Confucius, and each of them is a book writer with emperor-level strength. It is estimated that there are not many books in the whole world. You are an emperor-level master, but under Confucius' school, if you are only a low-rank emperor-level master, you may lose Confucius' face if you go out. Confucius' education level can be seen to be mediocre.

It can be said that these two people have almost influenced the teachers of countless elite colleges, because whether it is studying literature or learning martial arts, as long as you have been exposed to writing, then you have been exposed to their thoughts, then you are considered their disciples, even Zhou The dean of this elite academy also grew up under the influence of their thoughts. If it weren't for Zhou Kai's open thinking, Zhou Kai would probably tremble when he saw these two people, let alone arrange them to do things. , It is estimated that they have to work every week.

Even Zhou Kai is respected by them, those who think they are their students, let alone, when these evildoers have calculated everything, they have not included them, and they are right How respectful these two masters are, and these masters are usually very quiet, and sometimes they even continue to accept the world like children, but they are independent of this world, if it is not related to this world The survival of the Elite Academy is estimated that they are still staying in the Jixia Academy to study their literature at this time. Seeing the appearance of these two people at this time, all the warriors are finally relieved. These two are titled emperors. Level-level scribes are the most powerful existence among all scribes. In front of them, any titled emperor-level existence will not be their opponents. They can make a move. This time, the Elite Academy is too strong and easy to deal with these people. , and besides these two masters, there is also a master of all formation masters, but even Confucius and Lao Tzu in this village dare not presumptuously in front of him, that is the author of "Book of Changes" - Zhou Wenwang, A teacher of all thinkers today, because it was from him that thought was said.
