Idioms and allusions

During the spring and Autumn period, Confucius led his disciples to travel all over the world. He lived in the state of Chen and had nothing to do with them. Confucius thought that to be a "Scholar", we should achieve the three virtues of "benevolent people are not worried, wise people are not confused, and brave people are not afraid". Scholars can be divided into three categories: "do not disgrace the king's life, serve the country; have both filial piety and fraternity, set an example for the neighbors; do what you say and do, promise everything."
