In the years that followed, Confucius's life was plain and peaceful. In terms of private learning, there are more and more students, but he still uses the old method, teaching college students, and then college students teaching primary school students. The first to teach the last, the bright students to the backward students.

So! It is very difficult for students to get the personal teaching of Confucius. Only problems that "substitute teachers" could not solve, Confucius personally came out to guide.

Other than that! Only qualified students can participate in the study together. Students who are not qualified are all standing aside and have no chance to attend classes. In terms of teaching, Confucius customized a complete set of assessment standards. Pass the exam and move on to the next subject.

In terms of official positions, because of his social influence, the official is getting bigger and bigger. Lu Zhaogong was twenty years old, and Confucius was thirty years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, and he had already entered the Taimiao to take office.

In fact! It's not about his ability, it's all because of his influence in society, and under pressure from the outside world, Ji Pingzi and others unanimously agreed. Relying on Lu Zhaogong's meaning alone, he can't enter the Taimiao. Because! Taimiao is a big royal family, and Lu Zhaogong is just one of the branches.

Confucius has a certain social influence in running private schools, and if the people in power in Lu do not give him a certain official position, the people of Lu and the people of the world will think that the royal family and those in power in Lu have problems and do not reuse talents. Promoting you to an official proves that Lu attaches great importance to talents.

But! Promoting you to an official does not mean that you are reused. But! Make a show, do a superficial article, and make a situation. The real power is still in the hands of those in power.

If you are promoted to become an official, the big deal is that you will be used as an errand runner and do hard labor. Even! When decision-makers make mistakes, they shift the blame to you and scapegoat you. If the people are angry or the power struggle is lost, they will kill you as the culprit.

Another reason why Confucius took office in the Taimiao Temple was that he understood "etiquette". He has studied Zhou etiquette and knows many lost etiquette, better than the courtiers. Of course! He cannot replace the ceremonial officer, but can only serve as an assistant to the ceremonial official.

Whenever there was a large-scale sacrificial event in the Taimiao, Confucius could help the ceremonial officials to do things and rehearse the ceremonial procession. It is equivalent to the director and coach in modern society to conduct rehearsals, and then lead these actors to participate in the show.

Another reason why Confucius joined the Taimiao was because Qi Jinggong and Yan Ying entered Lu, and he made contributions. Lu Zhaogong, Ji Pingzi and others were afraid of this powerful country, and they deliberately stammered, and decided to welcome him with the most solemn etiquette.

Back then! Qi Jinggong sent someone to Lu State, and Ji Pingzi was in charge of receiving it. Ji Pingzi invited Confucius over, and he was responsible for the reception etiquette. At that time, Ji Pingzi, first, tried Confucius's talents, and secondly, Yang Hu and others took the opportunity to frame Confucius and deliberately recommended Confucius to take on the big responsibility. If Confucius messed things up, Yang Hu and the others would take the opportunity to kill Confucius.

At that time, Confucius was not called Confucius, but was still called "Confucius", and he was a little person who was not famous. Because he looks a little similar to Yang Hu, and his status is low, he was persecuted by Yang Hu. Yang Hu thinks that Kong Qiu has lost his face, so! I can't get along with Confucius everywhere.

Confucius did not disappoint Ji Pingzi and rehearsed the lost etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty, which was appreciated by the dignitaries. At last! Successful finish. Yang Hu and others did not succeed in eliminating the pest, on the contrary! Let Confucius have a certain reputation. Ji Pingzi also looked at him more differently because of this, but out of Yang Hu's opposition and Confucius's inflexibility, he did not reuse him.

Back then, the State of Lu used such a high-level etiquette to welcome an envoy of the State of Qi, and now! When Qi Jinggong and the important minister Yanzi came to visit, the welcome etiquette could not be lower than the previous standard. Otherwise? Didn't Qi Jinggong turn his face on the spot? There is no reason for people to want to invade you, but you hit the muzzle of the gun, isn't this looking for your own death?

But the Lu State Etiquette Officer at that time couldn't come up with a more solemn etiquette than the one rehearsed by Confucius back then. In desperation, he had to ask Confucius to go out of the mountain again.

Confucius was ordered to rehearse a lost Zhou Dynasty etiquette once again, which was more grand than the last ceremony. Outcome! Once again, it was a complete success.

Afterwards! Qi Jinggong and Yan Ying personally greeted Confucius, wanting to learn some lost Zhou Dynasty etiquette, and they could also pretend to be compared after returning to China.

Qi Jinggong and Yan Ying did not come to Lu to greet Confucius, but! The ceremonial lineup of Confucius's rehearsal made them feel shocked, so they asked Confucius for their salutes.

Confucius brought honor to the state of Lu, and it was reasonable for Lu Zhaogong, Ji Pingzi and other authorities to promote him.

If it weren't for a variety of reasons, Confucius would not have been able to enter the Taimiao Temple.

In the years that followed, Confucius's life was plain and peaceful. In terms of private learning, as more and more students graduate, after the students go out to do things, they naturally spread the reputation of the teacher.

With the spread of students and parents of students, more and more people are enrolling. Not only the people in Qufu City and the surrounding areas came to study, but also the wealthy families in Lu also sent their children and grandchildren to study.

Most people let their children and grandchildren learn a single subject. The most popular single subject is, of course, the "accounting" major. Of the 3,000 disciples of Confucius, not all of them studied philosophy, but more came to learn specialized knowledge.

In addition to the accounting major, that is the "pretending" major.

What is Loading Ratio Professional?

Pretending to be professional is etiquette, the basic etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty. What kind of greeting gift? Kneel and prostrate? And also! What kind of etiquette you see when you see someone, what kind of identity you are, what kind of etiquette you meet, these are strictly regulated in the Zhou Dynasty, and you can't mess with the rules.

Because! The Zhou Dynasty was a hierarchical society, and people were divided into high and low. Only with clear etiquette can we know the identity of the other party, show the nobility of the other party, and our own inferiority. Or! Their own nobility, the other's inferiority. Such! Only those who are high up have a sense of self-satisfied vanity and dignity.

And also! There are also many people who study music with Confucius. Playing the piano is also a kind of pretense. But! Confucius only taught to play the piano, not to play, which is Confucius's bottom line. If anyone mentions learning to play the trumpet with him, he will be anxious with you.

"Blowing the trumpet is what Confucianism does, are you a Confucian?"

Under the reprimand of Confucius several times, Qi Guanshi, Zilu and others would remind them behind their backs: Don't let the newcomers mention the trumpet.

You're not here to learn to play the trumpet, you're here to make fun of Mr., you're here to expose Mr. 's shortcomings. Mr. used to be a Confucian who played a trumpet for others.

Playing the piano and reciting poems was one of Confucius's favorite things, and it was also when he pretended to compare. While playing the piano, singing the Book of Songs, and sounding the Book of Songs, that is also a kind of pretence.

There is practice archery, but! Confucius's archery skills were not good, archery was only a part of the teaching, and his archery skills were not as good as those of students.

Swordplay! Confucius was not taught, as his repertoire.
