Confucius offered Lu Gong (Lu Zhaogong) Ji Pingzi and others to go to Luoyi in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to greet Lao Tzu in the Zhou Tibetan Room, and it was approved. Thereupon! As a scholar sent by the Duke of Lu, he went to Zhou Luoyi to greet Lao Tzu.

As Confucius's reputation continued to expand, not only the common people came to study with him, but even the nobles also had many people let their children and grandchildren come to learn etiquette from him.

Courtesy! It is not only a courtesy, but also a synonym for a person's morality. Be polite! It means that you are a virtuous person.

Several of them are the sons of those in power in the state of Lu. Those who cling, not to mention. What is different from the common people is that most of these noble children have a certain foundation, and they all studied in Luguo Public School since childhood. Coming to Confucius to study privately is just a name, not every day.

The main purpose of coming to Confucius to study privately is to follow Confucius to learn Zhou etiquette.

In order to cater to these people, Confucius often gave an exception to a weekly ritual class when these people were in the school.

Because of his unsuccessful career in the Lu Palace, Confucius often did not go to work at times. You don't have to go to work, and when you go to work, you don't have anything to do.

So! What he has is time. Every time a noble student came, he would make an exception to open a temporary class to give these noble students a weekly ceremony.

The so-called "Xi Li" is what it is! When someone came to study the Zhou rites, Confucius made an exception and gave a class to explain the Zhou rites. Not only explained, but also demonstrated how to bow and how to bow down. What kind of salute when you see someone, and how to be a leader and accept the salute of the people below......

When everything was ready, Confucius went to Zhou Luoyi to "greet Lao Tzu" as a scholar sent by the Duke of Lu.

Greeting is one of them, asking Lao Tzu for advice on life, solving doubts and relieving confusion in life, which is an important purpose of this trip.

Lu sent a coachman and two scholars to Confucius.

Coachman! Confucius didn't ask for it. The road was long, and he was worried about accidents. Furthermore! I don't want to increase the financial burden on the country. Scholar! But he accepted it.

These two scholars are not ordinary characters, they both have backgrounds. One is Uncle Nangong Jing and the other is Fang Zhong.

Who is Uncle Nangong Jing?

Nangong Jingshu is the son of Meng Xizi.

Who is Meng Xizi?

Meng Xizi: Ji surname, Meng family, name 貜, 谥僖. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, Lu Guo Sikong, one of the three Huan, the son of Meng Xiaobo.

He once accompanied Lu Gong (Lu Zhaogong) to visit the state of Chu, passing through the state of Zheng, and when he arrived in the state of Chu, he could not handle foreign affairs with courtesy. In 518 B.C., Meng Xizi was about to die, and he instructed his second son to serve Confucius.

Who is Uncle Nangong Jing? He is the son of one of the great nobles of the three Huan of the Lu State.

Who is Fang Zhong?

Fang Zhong is Fang Jishi's eldest son and Ji Pingzi's future grandson-in-law.

Greeting Lao Tzu with Confucius's visit to Zhou Luoyi is equivalent to an opportunity to go abroad to gild, and Ji Pingzi will naturally not miss such a good opportunity. So! Let the future grandson-in-law Fang Zhong go.

Confucius has always liked Fang Zhong very much, and he grew up watching Fang Zhong. Fang Zhong's name was still chosen by him. So! Ji Pingzi asked him to take Fang Zhong with him, and he naturally agreed. Furthermore! He couldn't refuse Ji Pingzi's request either.

It will take some time from Qufu City in Lu State to Tianzi City in Zhouluoyi. But! It's an official road along the way, and it's still very aspect.

Reportedly! When Confucius came to the Zhou Tibetan Room in Luoyi, he did not immediately see Lao Tzu.

Lao Tzu didn't mean to avoid him, but! Too busy! He was the teacher of the princes, and he was also the guest of Zhou Tianzi. Other than that! He is the number one genius in the Great Zhou world, and there are many people who come to ask him for advice.

What annoyed Lao Tzu even more was that Zhou Tianzi's harem was not peaceful. Since the death of the crown prince, Zhou Tianzi has not set up a prince again. So! Some people took this opportunity to stir up trouble and fight for power in the back. Outcome! Zhou Tianzi has a lot of housework.

Lao Tzu, as the teacher of the princes, naturally could not be put out of it and was often involved in it. Fortunately, he did not participate in the power struggle of the princesses, let alone stand in the wrong line, so! can skillfully resolve the past.

But! As a teacher of the princes, he can't get rid of it somewhat. Outcome! It's often annoying. With these chores, he often can't help himself and wastes his time on this.

Confucius came to visit Lao Tzu in the Zhou Tibetan room, and the visiting scholar sent by the public was an official document of the Lu State. Other than that! He also has a letter of introduction from Fang Cornerstone. With a double guarantee, he not only entered the palace, but also directly entered the Zhou Zang Room.

Lao Tzu was not there, so he read the book alone in the Zhou Tibetan room.

Since it was sent by the public to ask for a salute, naturally! He looked at all things about Zhou Li.

When he was in Lu State, all he saw was the books of Lu Gong and Ji Pingzi's house. As you can imagine! The number of books on this subject is very limited.

And in the Zhou Tibetan room, the book about Zhou etiquette is the sea! Under Lao Tzu's tidying, there are several bookshelves. And! It's all inherited. As long as you look at it from the beginning, you can really understand the Zhou Rites.

Confucius looked at the table of contents on the bookshelf and understood what Lao Tzu meant. But! He didn't look at it from the beginning. Because! He thought it should be like that. So! He searched for the books he needed most.

He also studied Zhou Li, so there was no need to read any more books on basic theoretical knowledge.

He found all the books he needed to read, moved them to the desk, and read them day and night.

Nangong Jing Uncle and Fang Zhong served him as scholars, and at the same time, they were also looking at their favorite books in the Zhou Zang room.

Time passes unconsciously, and I don't know how many days have passed. Confucius has been reading at the desk, reading books on Zhou etiquette, eating when he is hungry, and sleeping on the desk when he is sleepy. Except when I was not there when I went to the toilet, I was on the other side of the table.

It's true! Hungry and thirsty, forgetting to sleep and eat. The beard had grown, but he didn't know it.

I don't know what day? Lao Tzu just came back!

As the legend goes, Lao Tzu was dressed in white, with white hair and white beard, standing in front of Confucius's desk.

Seeing that Confucius didn't feel anything at all, Lao Tzu was very angry. Because! Confucius accounted for his case. Usually him! I read books and work on this desk.

Isn't it? He was not in the Zhou Zang room, and the people below were instructed to arrange for Confucius to sit on his desk.

Lao Tzu squatted down and flipped through the books that Confucius was reading. Seeing that Confucius looked at Zhou Li and saw that serious and devoted, he didn't mean to praise at all, on the contrary! The fire is still very strong.

I thought it seems! Is he really here to "salute" me? Didn't he come to ask me for advice on life and to give me some advice?

Fang Jishi's letter to him said that Confucius came to learn life.

Outcome! Confucius is really a greeting!

Now! Lao Tzu is not optimistic about Confucius!

What is the Weekly Rite? Zhou Li is just a product of the times, and it is a measure of the moral standards that generally regulate social behavior. In other words, Zhou Li is a kind of time and time.

So! You're going to be obsessed with the Weekly Rites, then! Your perception of human beings in life, the realm is not a grade! Your realm becomes limited!

Under the introduction of Fang Jishi, Lao Tzu had high hopes for Confucius. Outcome! Seeing Confucius like this made him very disappointed.

Seeing that Confucius was so obsessed with Zhou etiquette, Lao Tzu felt that Confucius's life realm was very limited, and if you couldn't jump out of the current realm of cognition, it would be difficult for you to accept a higher realm of cognition.
