Story of Confucius

Story 1: Confucius sings.

There were no entertainment activities in ancient times, and the so-called six arts-ceremony, music, shooting, imperial defense, books and numbers-were the sources of people's entertainment. Confucius likes "music". He not only likes playing music, but also likes singing. Not only does he like to sing by himself, but he also likes to listen to others sing. Of course, others have to sing well. Many times, Confucius met a person who sang beautifully, and he would inevitably ask that person to sing again after singing, and he would sing along with him. The so-called "having fun alone and having fun with others, who is happy?" If you don't stand out from the crowd. " Confucius is such a person who is willing to have fun with everyone. What a lovely little old man!

The original text of The Analects of Confucius: If a son sings well with others, he will make the opposite, and then make peace with them.
