How to understand Confucius' thought?

1, Confucius is an educator, thinker, half a politician, but most importantly, he is a noble intellectual. He is honest, optimistic and enterprising, and pursues truth, goodness and beauty all his life. His success and failure are related to his character. His advantages and disadvantages have influenced China people for thousands of years.

When Confucius was sixty-three, he was so angry that he forgot to eat and so happy that he forgot his troubles. He didn't know that his old age was coming. At that time, Confucius had led his disciples around the world for nine years and had gone through all the hardships. Not only did he not get the appointment of a bannerman, but he almost died. But Confucius was not discouraged. He remained optimistic and stuck to his ideals, even though he knew he couldn't do it.

3. Confucius' poverty and happiness, injustice and wealth are all floating clouds in my opinion. In Confucius' mind, righteousness is the highest value of life. When there is a contradiction between the rich and the poor and morality, he would rather be poor than give up morality, never tire of learning and never tire of teaching. Confucius was famous for his eagerness to learn and showed great interest in all kinds of knowledge, so he was versatile and knowledgeable. At that time, he was so famous that he was almost considered to know everything.
