Confucius, a representative figure of the Confucian school, after he became famous, people respected him as the Master of All Things. His father died when he was three years old. He was often discriminated against by his fellow tribesmen. In that era, there was neither papermaking nor printing. All the works that were circulated depended on copying. If you wanted to keep other people's works, you had to carve them word by word on the bamboo with a knife and finish the carving. The bamboo slips are kept in order, so they are the books at that time.

The "Book of Changes" was carved by Confucius, so he often read it. Because he read it too many times, the very strong cowhide rope was broken several times. It was in such adversity that Confucius became a celebrity.
