The thing is, one day Fan Chi wants to learn to grow food. Confucius was very surprised. He thought to himself that he was training senior talents to govern the country, not vocational education for farmers. Confucius said, "I am not as good as those old farmers in growing food." Fan Chi couldn't understand the teacher's voice-over. He added, "Then I want to learn to grow vegetables." Confucius was angry and said, "I can't compare with a vegetable grower." After leaving Fan Chi, Confucius called Fan Chi a "villain". In fact, it is normal for teachers to scold students, and he once scolded them for "rotten wood" and "dirt".
After Fan Chi broke off relations, he no longer insisted on studying agricultural production technology, but studied hard with his teacher. Confucius scolded him, and then Fan Chi asked him questions about learning, but Confucius still answered patiently. Even though Fan Chi asked the same question three times, Confucius didn't scold him, but answered patiently. On one occasion, Fan Chi drove a car for Confucius, and Confucius also took the initiative to explain this problem to Fan Chi.
It can be seen that the teacher-student relationship between Fan Chi and Confucius is still very good. On that occasion, Confucius called Fan Chi a "villain", which was just a temporary anger of Confucius. However, people will remember Fan Chi as a villain because of his special name. But in fact, he is not a villain.
