Confucius was so influential, why was he not treated by the rulers during his lifetime?

The late Spring and Autumn period was a period of great transformation from a slave society to a feudal society. A new landlord class emerged, and all countries advocated Legalism for the purpose of transforming the country, deviating from Confucius's Confucianism. Due to the limitations of the times, Confucius thought was not ruled.

Until the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu put forward the idea of "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism" in order to stabilize the society and strengthen the ideological governance of the people.

The knowledge and views of the Analects are as follows:Recognize:Some of the ambiguities that arise in the process of reading the Analects arise from the evaluation of Confucius and his learning.

According to the literal intuitive understanding, it seems that Confucius was negligent and simplistic towards the common people, regarded the people as only objects to be driven, and opposed the development of the people's wisdom, which somewhat contained a certain element of foolishness. This seems to have damaged the glorious image of Confucius as a sage, so some people have twisted it up and said that Confucius was excused by changing the way the sentence was read in order to maintain his lofty and sacred status.

Views:I think most of his books are the best of the best, but there are also things that are not worth using. The idea of the Analects is Confucianism, which runs through the golden mean, the way of benevolence and righteousness.

In fact, this is the root of Chinese culture, the birthplace of Chinese culture, and the original radical type of the state of etiquette. It is precisely this kind of thinking that makes the Chinese people have this kind of middle-of-the-road nature from the bones, lack radical thinking, like to stick to the rules, and the sense of innovation is far less obvious than that of Westerners.
