In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, although people had a hundred schools of thought, but in terms of social environment, they were very unoptimistic, at that time there were often wars between countries, and the whole environment was relatively bad, but in such a turbulent social environment, Confucius still went everywhere to teach and publicize his Own Confucianism, and many people felt that Confucius's behavior was a joke with life.
But the strange thing is that Confucius has been teaching outside for half his life, but he has not been harmed, so many people are more puzzled, why did Confucius dare to lecture everywhere in the chaotic world, and how to achieve unscathed?
Confucius was not a weak scholar
Speaking of Confucius, many people will think that he is a weak scholar, who puts him on his lips all day long, and when he encounters people, he begins to nag non-stop, the purpose is to teach, and he wants to convince people with reason. Everyone must think that the reason why Confucius was able to have so many disciples and spread Confucianism was because of his three inches of incorruptible tongue, but in fact, this was not the case, if Confucius was only a weak scholar, and he also liked to nag when he saw people, it is estimated that Confucius would have been hacked to death a hundred times.
The real history of Confucius, far from what we imagine, but the opposite of our stereotypes, simply and clearly, Confucius is a tall and powerful, unique appearance and infinite strength of the Confucian master, why do you say so? In fact, I have a lot of evidence to support it.
First of all, let's talk about the height of Confucius, according to the "Historical Record", Confucius's height is "nine feet six inches", Sima Qian, who wrote the "History", was a person in the Western Han Dynasty, we look at it according to the measurement standards of the Western Han Dynasty, when a Han ruler was equivalent to 23.1 centimeters, according to this standard, confucius's height was about 221.76 centimeters, that is, 2.21 meters, such a height is close to Yao Ming, you say that Confucius is a weak scholar, is it a little ridiculous and generous.
Some people may feel that this measurement is somewhat inaccurate, after all, Confucius was a person in the Spring and Autumn Period, so we will determine the height of Confucius again according to the scale ruler of Confucius at that time, Confucius was born in Luguo at that time, we estimated the height of Confucius according to the scale ruler of Luguo, at that time, a Lu ruler was equivalent to 20.5 centimeters, and the height of Confucius should be 196.8 centimeters, that is, 1.96 meters, or close to two meters.
In summary, no matter what metrics are used, Confucius's height should be about two meters, it may be more than two meters, it may be less than two meters, combined with the Lu country where Confucius is located, that is, today's Shandong brought a look, we can actually understand, after all, today's Shandong Han, most of them are tall and burly, Confucius was born in Shandong, there is no problem with being tall and burly.
After talking about height, let's talk about Confucius's appearance, in most people's minds, Confucius is a kind-eyed, amiable old man, but in fact, according to the description of Confucius's student Xunzi, Confucius's appearance is "the shape of a Zhongni, and his face is like a blind face."
Zhongni is Confucius, and Meng Wei is the portrait used by the ancient Moon moon to expel ghosts and gods, and the face is square and ugly, which can be said to be a fierce god. Although Xun Zi's words may be exaggerated, from the perspective of his identity, the credibility of this sentence is still relatively high, from which we can know that Confucius's appearance is probably a square face, which looks more fierce and evil, not kind eyebrows and good eyes.
By understanding the height and appearance of Confucius, we can probably have a more accurate understanding of Confucius's appearance, Confucius is a very serious and tall Shandong Han, just from the appearance, it is enough to give people a sense of deterrence and oppression.
Maybe some people think that even if Confucius is about two meters tall and has a fierce face, it may just be a flower rack, after all, in reality, height does not represent strength, in case Confucius is just tall and burly, but he has no power to bind chickens? Then this understanding is obviously wrong, because Confucius's father was a famous warrior in the country of Lu, and later died because of carrying a jackhammer, and there is no doubt about its infinite strength, Confucius inherited his father's excellent genes, and when he was young, he served as a priest in the country of Lu, specifically responsible for catching thieves, and the value of force was naturally not low.
According to Zhuangzi's description, Confucius is simply a fierce man with infinite strength, Zhuangzi bluntly said that Confucius "can knock the pass", which means that Confucius is infinitely powerful and can lift the wood used to insert the city gate in ancient times, to know that Confucius's father died because he lifted the jack gate at an emergency juncture, and Confucius is now also "able to knock the pass", which is enough to show that Confucius is a fierce man with infinite strength.
You see, Confucius is a macho man who is about two meters tall, with a fierce face and infinite strength, such a person is completely different from our traditional cognition, many people will inevitably wonder, according to this point of view, is Confucius a warrior of five big and three thick? This is clearly not the case.
Confucius was also proficient in martial arts
Just as the so-called brute force is not as good as the clever force, confucius even if he is two meters tall, the power is infinite, if only brute force is used, in the chaotic era of the Spring and Autumn Period, it is estimated that it is still difficult to survive, so why can Confucius teach for half a lifetime unscathed? In fact, this is related to Confucius's superb martial arts and clever mind.
First of all, let's talk about Confucius's exquisite martial arts, as I said earlier, when Confucius was young, he was in the position of Sikou in the country of Lu, specifically responsible for catching thieves, if Confucius did not have a little martial arts, how could he catch thieves?
In fact, according to the records in books such as Huainanzi and the Book of Rites, Confucius was not only proficient in swordplay, but also good at running, archery, and first-class driving skills. Confucius often carried a sword with him, which is enough to prove that Confucius's swordplay was good. The level of archery can be seen from the situation of a group of people watching when Confucius was shooting arrows, if Confucius's level is not good, it is naturally impossible to be ugly in public, a group of people watching, there is only one possibility that Confucius's archery level is too high.
As for running fast and driving technology, it should be related to his early work, after all, catching thieves, if you run fast, you can't catch it at all, sometimes you need to drive to catch up, if the driving technology is not good, it must be unreliable.
You see, Confucius is such a ruthless person, not only two meters tall, infinite strength, but also driving, archery, running, swordplay proficiency, such a level of martial arts, can completely go to the examination of martial arts, but Confucius's ability is definitely not limited to this, on the basis of having martial arts, Confucius's wisdom and wisdom are still quite good, can be called both literary and martial arts.
Such a powerful person, in the process of lecturing, if you encounter someone who wants to test martial arts, Confucius can meet him with martial arts, if you encounter someone who wants to learn from each other, Confucius can use his talents to conquer him, in short, Confucius has a particularly comprehensive skill, no matter from which aspect of the competition, Confucius is not afraid.
What is more crucial is that Confucius still has three thousand disciples under him, even if he does not travel with all the disciples, he will at least take some of them, such a mighty man, followed by a group of disciples, he wants to reason with you, try to ask you if you dare to be unreasonable? It was also by virtue of this strength that Confucius was able to lecture everywhere and return unscathed.
epilogue
Judging from the process of Confucius's lectures, in fact, it is not difficult for us to get an inspiration, but if you want to achieve a career, the first thing you need to consider is the practical problem, the reason why Confucius can go around lecturing is still safe, relying on not only his eloquence and the people, the key is also his own armed forces and the support of a group of disciples, if you can't even guarantee your own safety, why talk about lecturing?
