Confucius' disciples are seventy-two sages. Why is his son Kong Li not a talent?

Kong Li is the only son of Confucius and Guan Qi. Apollo is not as talented as his father's students. Throughout the Analects of Confucius, the frequency of thin fish is low. In the relevant literature, there is almost no praise from Confucius for his son's studies. On the contrary, he often recommended his excellent disciples to the monarch. Apollo is an open-minded person. As the son of Kong Qiu, he can't compare with his other disciples. He never envied his other disciples and never complained about his father's equal treatment. He told his father that his son was better than your son, and told his son Zisi that his father was better than your father. This also shows that he is an optimist and sees the shortcomings of others and his own advantages. He knows how to compare his own advantages with others' shortcomings, which shows that he is a flexible person. Apollo is also a filial child. He loves his mother very much. Although his mother died a long time ago, he still often misses and cries. He also respects his father. In order to raise the cost of his father going abroad, he is often busy until midnight and can only sleep very little every day.

Kong Li's mentality is also very good. I am not as eloquent as my father in appearance, but my son is stronger than himself and my father is more important. He never used his father's birthright to do anything excessive to his son. He is still him, taking care of his family in every possible way and guarding his family in his own way. Kong Li doesn't go with the flow in thought, he has his own opinions. People around you are secretly talking about themselves, sandwiched between famous fathers and sons, causing gossip in the neighborhood. But he never cared, and lived according to his own ideas firmly. Kong Li's mother is the wife of Song official Zhong Ni. The marriage custom in Song Dynasty is endogamy. The so-called endogamy refers to getting married within a certain social relationship. So the marriage between Confucius and his wife is an arranged marriage. When Confucius 19 years old, he got a job as a warehouse manager. Confucius' mother thought that he had a job and a start in his career, and it was time to find himself a wife. Like all mothers in the world, she wants her son to live a smooth and happy life. She asked Bernie, her eldest son, to give the chicken, duck and fish to the girl she liked. That girl was official Qi, and he gave Bernie a piano embroidered with golden phoenix. One year after marriage, the officials gave birth to a big fat boy, that is.

Kong Li's mother is very mysterious in history. We don't know whether she is beautiful or not, nor do we know some interesting things in her life. She didn't leave so many traces in history as Meng Mu did. People are also curious about Confucius' private life. Does he really look like a fairy? Luz, a student of Confucius, is also a little curious. Once, Luz and his teacher came back from abroad. They had been away from home for a long time. In the evening, Luz wants to go to the toilet. Seeing that the teacher's room was still lit, she tiptoed to the corner and poked enough. I saw the teacher and his wife lying in bed, and the woman snuggled up in the man's arms. The teacher gave his wife an emotional hug and they were making out. Lutz satisfied his curiosity and fell asleep contentedly. Confucius, a saint, also has secular desires like mortals. Guan Qi is a good wife. No matter what Confucius does, she always supports him. To raise money for Confucius, he even sold his gold bracelet.

Kong Li's going to court is an allusion, which means that the younger generation accepts the lessons of their elders. Kong Li is the only child of Zhong Ni. He has a famous father and a famous son. When he was born, the king of Lu gave his father a fish to congratulate him. Zhong Ni simply named his son carp. Confucius had many students, one of whom was Chen Kang. Once, he saw the teacher talking to his only son, and he was curious because he was too far away to hear clearly. On another occasion, he saw the teacher giving a lecture to his son alone, and the teacher looked serious. This time, his brain was wide open, thinking that the teacher was cooking a small stove for his only son and left a hand for their apprentice. Chen Kang is a man who can't back down. He asked Kong Li directly. Kong Li said that when he passed the yard, he saw his father, and his father asked him if he had read the Book of Songs. Knowing that his son didn't, he said that reading the Book of Songs helped to express his thoughts. On another occasion, he also saw his father in the yard. His father asked him if he had read the Book of Rites, knowing that he still didn't read it and was not angry. If he learns the Book of Rites well, he will understand the truth of being a man. Hearing this, Chen Kang misunderstood the teacher, and the teacher didn't hide anything. Chen Kang swept away the haze and became happy. I told Kong Li that through communication with him, I learned three things, one is to learn the Book of Songs, the other is to learn the Book of Rites, and the third is to know that the teacher is an aboveboard person and treats his son and students equally. In this story, later generations summed up the story of Kong Li's court, and also regarded Lei Yue Gate as a place for education. The classroom where we study can also be said to be a carp farm.

Kong Li was shot. He died at the age of 50. Saint Kong lost his son at the age of sixty-nine, and his grief can be imagined. Confucius followed the rites, and when his son died, he had a coffin but no coffin, which was the forgetfulness of his saints. The following year, Yan Hui died. Because his family was poor and there was only one coffin when he was buried, someone advised Confucius to sell a car to buy a coffin for his disciples. Kong Qiu turned him down on the grounds that his son had no coffin. Unfortunately, Kong Li is not outstanding, but his son is a talent. Some people say that this is the success of Ni Gedai education. As a father, Confucius did not teach his son well, but as a grandfather, he taught a good grandson. Of course, this is just a joke. Just listen to it. There is also a joke about Kong Li, which is widely circulated. Kong Li never felt inferior because of his incompetence, he harbored resentment. On the contrary, he has a good time every day. One day, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat together. Kong Li said to Kong Qiu, "You are no better than me. After all, your son is not as good as me. " He said to Zisi, "You are not as strong as me, and your father is not as strong as my father." Nowadays, when you travel to Qufu, you can still hear the tour guide tell this story.

Kong Li admires his father very much. One day, a guest came. At this time, there was only one Kong Li at home. The guest said that Zhong Ni knew so much knowledge and wanted to ask him how many seasons there are in a year. Hearing this, Apollo is so simple that he can answer himself. He told the guests that there are four seasons in a year, and the guests smiled and said it was wrong. The two men argued endlessly. The guests asked about grass and flies, and they all said that there are three seasons in a year. Kong Li can't think of any excuse. Just then, Confucius appeared. After observing the guests, he said that there are three seasons in a year. The guest finally left with a smile. Kong Li was confused, so his father told him that this man would not live in winter, so there are three seasons in a year. Kong Li finally understood and admired his father from the bottom of his heart. This story is well known, and everyone admires Kong Qiu.
