During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was an outstanding thinker and educator whose name was revered as Confucius, who was hailed as the sage of China. The Confucianism he founded had a profound impact on China's feudal society, and even influenced China for more than 2,000 years. However, this great sage also made a seemingly small mistake, which profoundly reflected the subjective bias of human beings and the misdirection of superficial phenomena.
Confucius has a proud ** named Ziyou. Ziyou once recommended to him a man named Yutai Zhanming. Although he has outstanding character, he has a mediocre appearance, and he can even be said to have a very low appearance. When Confucius saw this quasi-**, he was a little unhappy in his heart, thinking that the appearance of the Emperor was far from his expectations, so he planned to refuse to accept him as a disciple. However, Confucius remembered his famous saying: "There is no class in teaching". He didn't want to deny a person because of his appearance, so he mustered up his courage and decided to accept this Tantai Ming as **. Born in 512 B.C., he was a native of Wucheng in Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Although he is not good-looking, he is smart, studious, and hardworking. Under the guidance of Confucius, he delved into Confucianism and summarized its main points.
As time passed, his talent and character gradually became apparent, and his fame spread throughout the vassal states. After becoming famous all over the world, Confucius began to deeply appreciate this not outstanding **, he sighed: "I almost missed a virtuous talent because I paid too much attention to appearance**." According to historical records, Confucius had 72 sages**, and the Ming Dynasty was one of them. He is Confucius's protégé, and he is also a special ** who almost made Confucius slap himself in the face. His influence was great in the various vassal states. In terms of education, he was not only a profound Confucian master, but also a brave and strong man. When he went south to the state of Chu to give lectures, the number of ** people who followed him reached 300, showing the aura of a grandmaster. This Tai Ming, who was almost rejected by Confucius because of his appearance, used his talent and conduct to prove that the value of a person does not depend on appearance. He is one of the outstanding representatives of Confucianism during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and a legendary figure in history. His story teaches us not to be fooled by superficial phenomena, everyone has their own uniqueness and value. In the ancient "Chronicles of the Ancient Lands", we learned that the Ming Dynasty had easily killed two ferocious dragons with his own strength. This feat undoubtedly demonstrated the outstanding courage and martial arts of this great sage.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, science and technology were not yet developed, and people's understanding of animals was still shallow, so the crocodile, the overlord of the river, was often mistakenly called "Jiaolong". Although the crocodile is not a legendary dragon, its ferocity is not to be underestimated. However, this grandmaster-level figure was able to calm down when facing crocodiles, and easily killed them with a swing of his sword. This not only shows his extraordinary courage, but also shows his superb martial arts. Imagine how thick and hard the crocodile's skin is and how flexible its movements are. If an ordinary person wants to kill him with a sword, he must have a fast and powerful sword move and accurate judgment. Although his appearance was not outstanding, his bravery, knowledge, character and prestige all added luster to Confucius. As one of the 72 virtuous disciples of Confucius, the name of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has spread among the vassal states and is still praised after more than 2,000 years.
