In 480 B.C., civil strife swept like a storm.
In this turmoil, Confucius's disciple Zilu, with his unique identity and behavior, has become a unique landscape in history.
As the ruler of Kong Kui, Zilu had the opportunity to protect himself in the troubled times, but he resolutely chose to return in an attempt to prevent this civil strife.
His reasoning is simple but firm: "Those who eat their food do not avoid it." ”
This sentence, like his life creed, is deeply imprinted in his heart.
Zilu, a unique presence among the disciples of Confucius, his story is full of legends.
He was one of Confucius's most well-known disciples, and although he was a late adjacant, he was deeply impressed by his bravery and straightforwardness.
Before worshipping Confucius as a teacher, Zilu was a young man from a poor family and a fiery temper.
He likes to wear a hat that resembles a rooster's comb and a sword decorated with a boar hanging from his waist, which makes him look very unconventional and flamboyant.
However, it was this kind of sub-road that began an unusual life journey after meeting Confucius.
There are two very different versions of the first encounter between Zilu and Confucius in history.
One theory is that Confucius overcame rigidity with softness and influenced Zilu with wisdom and patience; Another theory is that Confucius relied on his superb martial arts to subdue Zilu.
But no matter which statement is closer to the truth, it is undeniable that the relationship between the master and apprentice is gradually established in the confrontation between the master and the apprentice.
In the forty years since they met, Zilu has always been a firm follower of Confucius and has become one of his most loyal disciples.
Zilu's personality is straightforward and fiery, which seems out of place in Confucian culture.
However, it was this character that made him stand out among the many disciples of Confucius.
Confucius once said, "He was brave, but this bravery was of no avail." ”
This sentence is not only a criticism of Zilu's character, but also a recognition of Zilu's ability. Because Zilu's bravery is not a blind impulse, but is based on justice and morality.
The "recklessness" of Zilu is not without merit. His straightforwardness and bravery allowed him to always stand up and protect his teachers and those around him when it mattered most.
When Confucius was threatened, he was always the first to rush forward and use his body to shield the teacher from danger.
This selfless dedication deeply gratified and moved Confucius.
At the same time, Zilu's sincerity and frankness also allowed him to grow and improve in his relationship with Confucius.
He learned how to control his emotions and how to maintain his principles and bottom line in a complex social environment.
Among the many disciples of Confucius, Zilu is undoubtedly the most special one.
He not only has a distinctive dress and character, but also has a strong belief and selfless dedication. His "recklessness" is not real recklessness, but stems from his inner sense of justice and adherence to morality.
This quality allows him to always stand up in times of crisis and become the support of everyone.
The relationship between Zilu and Confucius is not only a master and apprentice, but also a close friend. The interaction between them is full of fun and meaning.
Once, Confucius took Zilu to Weiguo to ask to see Wei Linggong, but was intervened by Nanzi, the Duchess of Wei Ling.
Nanzi had admired Confucius for a long time and insisted on meeting him. In order to avoid embarrassment, Confucius had to agree to meet, but asked to be separated by a bamboo curtain.
This move made Zilu very dissatisfied, and he questioned why Confucius wanted to see a woman of bad character.
In order to prove his innocence, Confucius even swore a gambling curse. This scene not only shows Zilu's loyalty and care for his teacher, but also reflects Confucius's understanding and tolerance for his disciples.
In addition to this misunderstanding, there were many interesting experiences between Zilu and Confucius.
Zilu once served as a magistrate in the state of Lu, and when he saw that the people were living in poverty, he bought food out of his own pocket and distributed it to them.
This act, although done with good intentions, is contrary to the law of etiquette.
When Confucius learned about it, he did not praise Zilu, but asked Zigong to smash his field.
This move made Zilu very angry, and he went to Confucius to theorize and accuse Confucius of hypocrisy.
Confucius patiently explained to him that as a magistrate, his duty was to govern the country, not to help the people on behalf of the Son of Heaven.
This incident not only demonstrated Zilu's straightforwardness and bravery, but also demonstrated Confucius's strict requirements for his disciples.
Although Zilu had an impatient personality, his respect and love for Confucius was consistent.
He dared to question his teachers, but he also had the courage to admit his mistakes and correct them. This openness and sincerity made Confucius particularly important to him.
Under the teaching of Confucius, Zilu gradually grew from a combative young man on the street to a responsible and wise military strategist.
His growth process is not only his personal transformation, but also the best interpretation of Confucius's educational philosophy.
At the last moment of his life, Zilu used his actions to interpret what a true gentleman is.
Faced with the siege of the killers, he did not choose to run away, but stopped to arrange his hair crown.
This seemingly insignificant gesture shows his respect for etiquette and reverence for life.
In the end, he gave his life to protect morality. His death is not only the best farewell to Confucius, but also the highest tribute to the word "gentleman".
Zilu's life is full of legends. His straightforwardness, bravery, and sincerity made him one of the best among Confucius's disciples.
The teacher-student friendship between him and Confucius was deep and sincere, and their stories have been passed down through the ages and have become an important part of Chinese culture.
Through the story of Zilu, we can see the wisdom and personality charm of Confucius, and we can also see Zilu's adherence to morality and life.
In today's fast-paced, high-pressure society, it may be difficult to find someone as straightforward, courageous, and sincere as Zilu.
But we can draw wisdom and strength from his story, learn to face life's challenges and difficulties bravely, and learn to be sincere with ourselves and others.
Only in this way can we find our own piece of sky in the complex world.
Finally, let us go back to that changing era of patriotism again, and imagine the firm figure of Zilu and the kind face of Confucius.
In that era full of changes and challenges, they used wisdom and courage to write an immortal legend.
And we revisit these stories today, not only to remember history, but also to draw strength to move forward.
May we all be like Zilu, bravely pursue our dreams and firmly guard our beliefs; May we all be like Confucius, using wisdom and love to influence and change the people and the world around us.
