Zi Gong, Confucius' favorite pupil, once called it "the instrument of Hu Lian". Zigong not only has outstanding achievements in academic and political achievements, but also has outstanding achievements in financial management and business.

He is good at business and is as rich as gold, becoming the richest man among Confucius disciples. "Zi Gong treats Huo Zhi well, which is a trend of' a gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way', and is highly praised by later business circles.

Once Zigong got a beautiful jade and asked Confucius, "If there is a beautiful jade here, is it better to keep it in a box?" ? Or find a businessman who knows the goods to sell? Confucius said, "sell it!" "sell it! I am waiting for a businessman who knows the goods. "

Yan Hui was Confucius' most proud student, but Confucius asked Zi Gong such a question. "Who is stronger than Yan Hui?" Zi Gong is very cultured. He said: "You gave it, how dare you come back?"? I also know a thing or two. "

Compared with Yan Hui in Zigong, in politics, Yan Hui has to hand in a blank sheet of paper; As far as viability is concerned, Yan Hui can hardly make a living. The Analects of Confucius repeatedly said that he was "empty", so it seems that cooking breaks often happen, but Zigong is a "daughter's home".
