In Chinese history, there is only one person who has been continuously worshiped by people of all generations, and that is Confucius. However, due to the long history and lack of information, people do not know much about Confucius's posture. In the minds of many people, Confucius may be just a weak scholar, but is this really the case with Confucius in reality? Many people consulted the literature and gave different opinions.
It turns out that Confucius was not a weak scholar, but a tall and powerful man. It is recorded in historical books that "Confucius was nine feet long and six inches long, and people all called him 'long man'". One foot in the pre-Qin period is equivalent to 0.66 feet today. By extrapolation, Confucius's height should be 2.20 meters away, which is not much different from the "moving Great Wall" such as Yao Ming and Wang Zhiqiu. Although the record is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to illustrate his tall stature.
"Yes, this is tantamount to asking him to abandon them." This is a famous saying of Confucius, which means that if you do not conduct military training on ordinary people, and hastily recruit them to the battlefield when something happens, it is tantamount to asking them to die in vain. Therefore, although Confucius advocated "benevolence" and always advocated peace and opposed war, he knew in his heart that in those troubled times, his earnest words would not achieve any results, so he attached great importance to "enough food and sufficient soldiers".
Of course, Confucius did not advocate using force to solve problems. He was still famous for his thoughts. As the founder of Confucian school , the core of his thoughts was "benevolence". Here, such an interesting story happened.
Ji was a senior official in the state of Lu, and Ran You, a disciple of Confucius, once played and fought for him. After returning from victory, Ji asked Ran You: "Who did you learn the art of war from?" Ran You said: "Of course I learned it from the teacher." This shows that Confucius knew the art of war, and he was probably a A great expert.
In fact, living in troubled times and being despised and ridiculed by others, Confucius had almost no opportunity to teach others a lesson. This was not only because he was kind-hearted by nature and "unwilling to listen with force", but more importantly, these Everything was taken care of by Zi Lu, who was naive, hot-tempered and highly skilled in martial arts. Ever since Zilu entered the family, Confucius "did not hear any evil words."
In fact, living in troubled times and being despised and ridiculed by others, Confucius had almost no opportunity to teach others "personally". This was not only because he was kind-hearted by nature and "unwilling to listen with force", but more importantly, these Everything was taken care of by Zi Lu, who was naive, hot-tempered and highly skilled in martial arts. Ever since Zilu came into the family, Confucius "did not hear any evil words."
Compared with practicing martial arts to strengthen the body and eradicating violence, Confucius was more concerned about social life and destiny. He looked up to the heaven and earth, had a broad mind, and accommodated all things. He was always concerned about the peace of the world and the prosperity and happiness of the people. Compared with these, the courage of ordinary men who fight bravely and fiercely is nothing.
