Confucius in the world

Stripping away the halo of the sage, returning to the records of history books and the texts of the Analects, Confucius is an old man with white beard who admires Zhou rites, admires the ancients, runs around, hits walls everywhere, is stubbornly a bit cute, and seems to be always chattering. Confucius is contradictory and complex, his multifacetedness is just used by all parties, and step by step pushed him to the altar of the 'sage'. The glory and destruction of later generations have long been irrelevant to Confucius. After shedding the dust of history, the benevolence, moderation, and governance advocated and practiced by Confucius have deeply integrated into the genes of the Chinese people; the texts and deeds left by the master are still inspiring and warming generations of Chinese descendants. Coming out of the Confucius Temple and Confucius Mansion, across the street is the Yan Temple. The gate of the Confucius Temple is like a market, and the gate of the Yan Temple is deserted. The joy of the humble alley is rarely heard afterwards, which is a sigh.
