Confucius was teaching students.
Confucius was a teacher.
Confucius was a great educator
Let’s read the text and know more about Confucius!
Confucius (551 BCE–479 BCE) was one of the greatest thinkers and educators during the Spring and Autumn Period.
Like many other masters, Confucius started as a hard-working student. At 15, Confucius got down to studying. He studied music, math, literature and other subjects. When he was learning Shao music in the State of Qi, he was lost in the music and hardly noticed the taste of meat for a few months. Later, Confucius opened a private school and started teaching there. People came to study at his school. One of his students was Zilu. Zilu was too confident about himself. So once Confucius told him, “To know what you know and what you do not know, that is wisdom.” It tells us we should learn knowledge in an honest way. In his late years, even when Confucius became a master, he never stopped learning from others. Confucius told his students, “When I walk along with two others, they may serve me as my teachers.” This famous saying shows the learning spirit of Confucius.
It is not easy to understand all the thoughts of Confucius. You may need to draw on his wisdom from time to time. Just like the master said, “Review the old knowledge and you will have new ideas.”
