Confucius is the founder of Confucianism, and also the greatest thinker and educator in China. Confucius was not only one of the most knowledgeable people at that time, but also his thoughts have always influenced people in later generations, and at the same time, they have spread widely in the world. Confucius is listed as the first of the "Top Ten Cultural Celebrities in the World" in today's world, which shows the great influence of Confucius. However, the early Confucius ran into a wall everywhere and laughed at himself: his decadent appearance was like a lost dog. Why is this happening?
In his early years, Confucius was also ambitious and wanted to enter the official career and realize his ambition. So Confucius took many disciples around the world and publicized his ideas to people everywhere. However, he ran into a wall everywhere, and no one wanted to appoint Confucius. Even Confucius was in a dangerous situation several times and almost lost his life.
Confucius, who was disheartened, was returned to Lu at the age of 68, and since then he has devoted himself to education and document arrangement. Throughout Confucius' life, why not be like a homeless dog? No one knows his ambition, there is no way to serve the country, and ambition is hard to pay. At that time, civil strife broke out in Lu, a country from which Confucius was born. There was no monarch and no minister. It is completely different from Confucius' thoughts of monarch, monarch, minister, father, son and son. So Confucius went wandering all his life, traveled all his life and traveled all over the world, but he never found the "home" to realize his ideal. Therefore, in terms of ideal ambition, one's own ambition is like a sangguquan, and one can't find a home.
From his own situation, Confucius was indeed driven away by monarchs from all over the world like a lost dog. Wherever he went, he was disliked and suspected, even humiliated Confucius, and tried to kill Confucius several times.
