Introduction
Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC), whose surname was Qiu and courtesy name Zhongni, was a native of Zou Yi (now southeast of Qufu City, Shandong Province) of the state of Lu in the late Spring and Autumn Period. He was a famous thinker, educator and founder of Confucianism in ancient my country. According to legend, Confucius had 3,000 disciples and 72 virtuous disciples. He once led his disciples to travel around the world. Confucius was also an organizer of ancient documents. He revised "Poems" and "Books", revised "Li" and "Music", prefaced "Book of Changes" and wrote "Spring and Autumn". Confucius' thoughts and theories had a profound impact on later generations.
Confucius said: When I was fifteen, I was determined to learn; when I was thirty, I was established; when I was forty, I was not confused; when I was fifty, I knew the destiny; at sixty, my ears were obedient; at seventy, I followed my heart's desires without exceeding the rules. This is Confucius' summary of each stage of his life.
Confucius was keen on engaging in politics throughout his life, but he only really participated in politics for more than four years. During these four years, he did a lot of things, but in the end he had different political opinions from those in power. And parted ways.
In the next fourteen years, Confucius traveled around, promoting his political philosophy everywhere.
Confucius spent more than half of his life engaged in educational work of preaching, teaching, and solving doubts. He created effective education and teaching methods; summarized and advocated a set of correct learning principles; formed a relatively complete teaching content system; proposed a series of far-reaching educational ideas; and established a good example of teacher ethics.
The main words and deeds of Confucius throughout his life were compiled into the book "The Analects" by his classic disciples and re-transmitted disciples, which became the classic of the Confucian school in later generations.

Final advice
In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius was revered as a saint. He had three disciples, and everyone asked him for advice. His words, deeds and theories were all included in the Analects of Confucius by his disciples, which has been handed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.
Confucius said that people who are not born with knowledge should ask others if they don’t understand something. Once, Confucius went to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to participate in a ceremony for the king of Lu to worship his ancestors. As soon as he entered the Imperial Ancestral Temple, he asked people about this and that, and he asked about almost everything. At that time, some people ridiculed him and said: Who said that Confucius was a learned saint and knew etiquette? You see, when he came to the Ancestral Temple, he would ask questions about everyone he met and everything he encountered. Confucius heard people talking about him and said: I always ask questions when I meet people about things I don't understand. This is exactly the manifestation of my desire to know etiquette! This is the story recorded in ancient books about how Zi Ren asked about everything in the Ancestral Temple.
Confucius’s student Zigong was from Weiguo. When he had questions, he just wanted to ask: After the death of Kongguo, why was he called Kong Wenzi? Kong Guo was a senior official in Wei State. After his death, the king of Wei State gave him the title of Duke Wen.
Later generations respectfully called him Kong Wenzi. Seeing Zigong asking this question, Confucius smiled and replied: Only those who are smart, eager to learn, and not ashamed to ask questions are worthy of being called Wen. Confucius explained that Kong Guo was very diligent and studious, and his mind was smart and flexible. If he didn't understand anything, even if the other person's status or knowledge was not as good as his, he would ask for advice generously and humbly, and he was not ashamed at all. This was a rare thing for him. place, so it would not be inappropriate to give him the title of Duke Wen. After Confucius's explanation, Zigong was finally convinced.
