Li Zhi also lashed out at the study of Confucius and Mencius, which was highly praised by the ruling class. Burning Books, Praising Liu Xie, Introduction to the Holy Religion, and Confucius Inscription in Zhifu Garden, etc. He belittled Confucius with a playful and sarcastic style, which was a bold move in ancient times when Confucius was regarded as the most holy teacher. He thinks that Confucius is not a saint, "although Confucius is also a mediocrity" (Burning Books and Answering Zhou Liutang). Confucius is nothing. "People who plow fields and raise fish can take it, and the goodness of all saints and sages is not desirable." Why do you have to learn from Confucius and then become a righteous pulse? "("Burning Books and Answering the Guns Mouth "). We are all saints. Why do we have to learn from Confucius? This pulled Confucius down from the supreme position of a saint. If we must regard Confucius as an idol and imitate Confucius in words and deeds, it is "the base state of ugly women" (on how to burn books). Li Zhi denied the orthodox position of Confucianism, denied that the study of Confucius and Mencius was the "eternal theory" of "ancient and modern Taoism" and thought that it could not be applied casually as a dogma. Six Classics, Analects of Confucius and Mencius are the ammunition of Taoism and the cradle of dummies. Li Zhi's criticism of Confucius and the Tao of Confucius and Mencius has indeed reached the point of "being sacred". No wonder the ruling class hates his guts.
