Confucius has always been a saint in our country, because the Confucianism founded by Confucius has been circulated since ancient times. Confucius' Confucianism can be said to have promoted the development of the Chinese nation. In various dynasties, Confucianism has always been highly respected, and it is one of the fundamental concepts of governing the country by the imperial court.
There are many disciples of Confucius, but only 72 people can be affirmed by Confucius, but these 72 people are not recognized by Confucius. These 72 people are just people who Confucius thinks have strong learning ability. But one of these seventy-two people disappointed Confucius very much, and he was Zaiyu.
Zaiyu is actually an extremely intelligent person, but Zaiyu is not easy to learn, but often opportunistic, which has made Confucius very disgusted. However, Confucius still had high hopes for Zaiyu and taught Zaiyu sincerely until a class, when Confucius said that filial piety was the first. When my father dies, I have to be filial for three years. After hearing this, Zaiyu immediately retorted that three years is too long, and one year is enough.
As a teacher of Zaiyu, Confucius has never been respected by Zaiyu, and his kindness has never been understood by Zaiyu. Zaiyu often talks back in class, but later Zaiyu goes straight to sleep or even doesn't go to class. This behavior of Zaiyu completely disappointed Confucius, who directly said that Zaiyu was a rotten piece of wood, which really could not be carved.
Confucius' words also represented Zaiyu's complete disappointment. There are thousands of disciples of Confucius, and I am afraid that only one person is so angry with Confucius. If such students are put into modern times, many teachers are unwilling to discipline them, but Confucius has been conscientious, and Zaiyu still goes his own way. It can only be said that Confucius did not give up Zaiyu, but Zaiyu himself gave up himself.
Nowadays, the phrase "a dead wood cannot be carved" is also widely used to hate people. After careful teaching and training, it is impossible to change this person's mind. It can only be said that some people are born this way and their human resources cannot be changed.
