Tell us why there are so many descendants of Confucius?

It should be said that the greatness of Mencius lies in the fact that he used his own experience and strength to reinterpret the life and ambitions of Confucius, although they all succeeded, after all, they all held high and practiced the idealistic banner of "benevolent government", and contributed the richest chapter of humanistic heritage to the history of Chinese culture. This is the only basis for a great man to be a great man. Mencius stood on the shoulders of Confucius, inherited and developed Confucius's doctrine of "benevolence", advocated the goodness of human nature, and put forward the concept of "compassion, the end of benevolence; The heart of shame is also the end of righteousness; The heart of resignation, the end of courtesy; The heart of right and wrong, the end of wisdom", constructs a relatively complete ideological system for his theory of human nature.

But to regard such a master of thought as the second in command of Yasheng and Confucianism was actually slowly established after the Song Dynasty, and before that, the soul of the master had been silently spending the long night. But greatness cannot be buried. Since Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty wrote "The Original Dao" and listed Mencius as the only person in the pre-Qin Confucianism to inherit Confucius's "Taoism", there was a "promotion movement" of Mencius, and the status of Mencius and his books gradually rose.

In the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty (1071), the book "Mencius" was included in the subjects of the imperial examination for the first time, and later the book "Mencius" was upgraded to a Confucian classic, and Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty combined "Mencius" with "Analects", "University" and "Zhongyong" into "four books", and its actual status was above the "Five Classics" from then on. In the first year of the Yuan Dynasty to Shun (1330), Mencius was crowned as "Ya Shenggong", and later called "Ya Sheng", second only to Confucius, and continues to this day.

To be fair, Mencius's failure to travel around the world was due to his character. Mencius had a resolute character and mind, and he dared to speak out in the face of power; In the face of difficulties, he persevered. There is a story that illustrates this vividly.

Once, when Mencius was going to meet the king of Qi to confess his political opinions, it happened that the king of Qi sent an envoy to convey the words of the king of Qi to Mencius: "I should have come here to see you, but I have recently caught a cold and cannot go to see you in person." Only tomorrow morning when I am in the morning, please come to the morning and let me see you.

Mencius was very displeased, and he replied to the messenger that he was also very ill and could not go to the early court. Mencius was obviously not sick, but was just looking for a reason to avoid the contradiction, because in Mencius's view, he was going to help Qi teach the way of governing the country, and as a monarch, he should be a corporal of courtesy and virtuous, if he wants to put on a stinky stand for the king, then I'm sorry, I, Mencius, have to return a tooth for a tooth with illness. If such a thing rests on the gentle Confucius, it may be a different ending.

The descendants of the saints will not naturally become saints, they are just ordinary people, nothing remarkable, the more public resources occupied in history, the more people will be born!

In ancient times, there was no family planning, and if there were an average of two children per generation, there would be 1 million people after 20 generations. Therefore, as long as it is a person of that era, if it has not been passed down to the present generation, the number of people will not be small. It's just that the Kong family has a family tree, and the others don't have such a long family tree.

Because Confucius was a celebrity, the descendants of the surname Kong were all under his name. Boss Kong is the last, and the third brother and the fourth brother are ......is also extinct, and Kongjiazhuang and others are also extinct. Hey, the old two are prosperous!

Because everyone admires the thought of Confucius in their hearts, and ** does not suppress this thought, it can be developed very well.

Confucian Confucius is more powerful than the emperor, and all emperors, dynasties, and descendants will either perish or be unknown. Or disappear. Only Confucianism has been passed down.

In thousands of years of national salvation, no descendant of Confucius has turned the tide, which can be seen in general.

ConfuciusThe descendants are eighty-three. Kong Xianglin, the 75th generation descendant of Confucius, said that in Malaysia.

There are about 200 descendants of Confucius. He pointed out that Confucius was born 2,557 years ago, and his descendants have been passed down from generation to generation, and he is now in his 82nd generation, with a total of about 3 million descendants. So far, more than 1.2 million information on the descendants of Confucius has been received from all over the world, confirming that the descendants of Confucius have multiplied to 83 generations, and the youngest generation is a 10-year-old girl from the "Nian" generation, now in Liaoning Province.
