Confucius divided Confucianism into two major categories: one is highly insightful, broad-minded, and ambitious; the other is mediocre, narrow-minded, and ordinary. Junzi Confucianism is a bit like inventors and designers; villains are a bit like engineers and skilled workers, and their hierarchy and role in society are different. Confucius advocated that "a gentleman is not a tool", pursuing to become a great talent and generalist who takes the world as his own responsibility, and does not want to become a professional with a skill, which is the fundamental difference between gentleman Confucianism and villain Confucianism.

People like Confucius, Yan Yuan, and Zeng Shan should belong to the category of gentleman Confucianism. Zixia loves to study and teach classics, and engages in professional teaching activities, which is equivalent to a kind of "instrument" in "gentleman's not instrument", and does not depart from the category of villain Confucianism.
