Zigong said: "I don't want others to impose things on me that I don't want to do. Likewise, I don't want to impose on others things that I don't want to do!" Confucius said Answered him: "This is not something you can do."

In fact, what Zigong said is what everyone hopes for, and it is an ideal state. Zigong said: "The poems, books, rituals, music, etc. that the teacher talks about are all things that we can often come into contact with and hear. But what the teacher talks about about human nature and the way of heaven, we are not very familiar with. You can hear it. In Confucius' view, he believed that human nature is undetectable, and the way of heaven is so high that it cannot be touched. Confucius believed that human nature was originally similar, but later due to the environment in which he grew up, there were differences. Lifestyle habits and other factors lead to great differences. Confucius sometimes called it the destiny of heaven. Zigong said: "What about people who are poor but not flattery, who follow others' influence, and who are rich but not proud and self-sufficient?" Confucius said: "That's okay, but it's still better to be poor and still be charitable, and to be humble even if you're rich." "Zigong and Confucius discussed many issues. In the Analects of Confucius, Zigong has many famous quotes, and later generations also spoke highly of him.
