What anecdotes and allusions are there in Duanmu Ci, and what is the relationship with Confucius?

Most people will be confused when they see the name Duanmu. Who is this man? But you won't feel so strange when we say the name Zigong. Duanmu Ci is Zigong's. There are many anecdotes and allusions about Zi Gong's life, and he has a good relationship with Confucius. We all know that Confucius has more than 3,000 disciples, but there are only 72 outstanding and famous disciples, and Zi Gong is one of them. Zi Gong has a deep relationship with his teacher Confucius, which may exceed the general relationship between father and son.

First of all, let's talk about the anecdotes and allusions of Zigong. One of the most famous stories is the story of respecting teachers in Zigong. We all know that Confucianism pays great attention to respecting teachers and stressing morality. It is said that the teacher will be the father for life. There is nothing wrong with this sentence on Confucius, Zigong's teacher. Zi Gong did not allow others to belittle Confucius in front of him, but thought that Zi Gong was stronger and more powerful than the teacher. Once, a doctor in Lu belittled Confucius, but praised Zi Gong in front of everyone. Zi Gong was very angry. He immediately tried to persuade Dr. Lu by analogy. Zi Gong even compared Confucius to the sun and the moon, thinking that Confucius could illuminate others, and he was always shining, illuminating the road for others. No one in the world can shine like Confucius.

Zi Gong was also very filial to Confucius, paying attention to the teacher's way. After Confucius died, the uterus was very sad. I can't eat well at night, sleep well, and sleep at night. I always think of my teacher Confucius. Even Zi Gong did not mourn for his teacher Confucius for six years. After the death of Confucius, the uterus was next to Confucius' tomb for six years. At that time, none of Confucius' own sons had been filial to Confucius for six years.

Zi Gong always keeps a modest attitude when he asks his teacher Confucius for advice. Once Zigong asked Confucius, if a person is particularly popular in his hometown, what about this person? Is he a good man? Confucius said to him, Look at the people on both sides. Only the good people in the village like him, and the bad people in the village hate him. This is the best.
