Confucius is not only the founder of Confucianism, but also the first educator who taught in public in the history of education in China. He was the first to spread the knowledge of poetry, calligraphy, ceremony and music, which were exclusive to the ancient gentry and nobles, to the people, regardless of the origin of scholars, and practiced "teaching without distinction", turning official learning into private learning.
Confucius anecdotes and allusions
Confucius was very modest and worked hard in his studies. Confucius once learned to play the piano with his teacher. The name of this song is Cao. Confucius practiced hard for many days, and Shi Xiangzi said, "That's enough." Confucius said, "I have mastered the playing method of this piece of music, but I haven't counted it."
After practicing for several days, Shi Xiangzi said, "Well, you can count on it." But Confucius still said, "No, I didn't get it."
After a considerable period of time, Shi Xiangzi thought it was really ok this time, but Confucius still felt that he didn't bend the bullet well.
Finally, Confucius learned the meaning of Qin Le through repeated study, and didn't stop until he saw the image of King Wen expressed in the music.
