Confucius said: "If the way is not up to standard, it will ride on a raft and float in the sea. If you follow me, it is your fault!" Zilu was delighted when he heard this. Confucius said: "You are braver than me, and you have nothing to draw from." - "The Analects of Confucius Gongye Chang"

Confucius said: If one day my idea does not work in this world, I will sit down If I go overseas on a raft, the only one who can follow me will probably be Ayou (Zilu)! Zilu was very happy to hear this and felt that the teacher valued him.

Confucius said again: Ayu is more brave than me (he can protect me), but there is nothing else worthy of praise.
