Which talents in ancient China were truly worthy of the word sage .

Confucius, Lao Tzu, Mencius, Li Bai, anyway, just that group of people, the ancient sages were all lonely, and only the drinkers left their names.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "respected Confucianism", the "sages" are generally those Confucian sages, and the total number of "sages" in the Confucian Temple has 158 sages and Confucians, starting from the Spring and Autumn Period and ending in the Qing Dynasty. Before the Spring and Autumn Period, people like Confucius, Lao Tzu, Yellow Emperor, Fuxi, King Wen of Zhou, etc., were also sages.

A sage is a person of high moral character and extraordinary intellect. It usually refers to a person who is believed to have contributed to history and society by practicing the values of Confucian life. The status of "sages" is actually confirmed by scholars through historical records and official sacrificial systems, rather than personal recognition.

In our country, the sage is literally a virtuous and virtuous person. There is a "bei" in the word "sage", which originally means "more wealth", so in ancient China, it was also said that the sage was a rich person, but this solution was less. Most of the virtuous in ancient texts are honorific titles for others, or refer to wise monarchs, or directly from the ideology.

Specifically, there are four:

Wang Shouren (the master of the study of mind) and Confucius (the founder of Confucianism), Mencius (the master of Confucianism), and Zhu Xi (the master of science) are called Confucius, Meng, Zhu, and Wang.

Of course, if someone says something like the soldier saint Guan Yu, the poet saint Du Fu and the like, when I don't say ......Of course, if you want to say that Confucius is a sage and Mencius is a sub-sage, I don't say ......Remember, a saint is not a person, it is at the level of an immortal, but a sage is a real person, otherwise wouldn't Li Bai become an immortal.

is not the legendary Three Emperors and Five Emperors, nor does it say anything like Zhou Gong's spitting. There are many ancient sages, but the only recognized sages are Lao Zhuang Confucius and Mencius. In the past 1,000 years, there is only one Wang Yangming.

The so-called Zhu Zi and his ilk are nothing more than backsliddens who have distorted the sages of some people. Even Mencius can only be called a sage, and Zhuzi, who is inconsistent in words and deeds, can also be called a sage?
