In ancient China, they were all outstanding representatives in various fields and made great contributions to the development and inheritance of Chinese culture. In addition to the well-known Confucius, there are many other "sages" that deserve our knowledge and reverence.
First of all, in the field of thought, in addition to Confucius, there are also thinkers such as Laozi, Zhuangzi, and Mozi who are known as "sages". Lao Tzu is the founder of the Taoist school, and his thought advocates "rule by doing nothing", emphasizing the realm of conforming to nature and being quiet and doing nothing. Zhuangzi inherited and developed Laozi's thoughts, and put forward philosophical concepts such as "leisurely travel", emphasizing the freedom and independence of the individual. Mozi, on the other hand, advocated "love and non-aggression", advocated equality and mutual assistance between people, and opposed war and violence. In the field of literature, there are also many "saints" who have emerged. For example, Qu Yuan, Li Bai, Du Fu and others are all outstanding representatives in the history of ancient Chinese literature. Qu Yuan is the founder of Chu Ci, and his works are full of romanticism, expressing deep concern and love for the country, the nation and the people. Li Bai is known as the "poet immortal", his poetry is uninhibited, full of personality and creativity. Du Fu is known as the "Saint of Poetry", and his poems are depressed and frustrated, reflecting the profound revelation of social reality and the sympathy of the people's suffering.
In addition, there are quite a few "saints" in the field of science who are worth mentioning. For example, Zhang Heng, Zu Chongzhi, Guo Shoujing, etc. are all outstanding representatives in the history of ancient Chinese science. Zhang Heng invented the geodynamic instrument and made great contributions to the world. Zu Chongzhi calculated the first seven decimal places of pi and made outstanding contributions to the development of mathematics. Guo Shoujing compiled the "Calendar of Time", which provided an important basis for astronomical observation and the formulation of the calendar. These "saints" have made great contributions to the development and inheritance of Chinese culture with their wisdom and talents. Their ideas and works are not only treasures of ancient Chinese culture, but also an important part of human civilization.
