Song dynasty can tell fortune.

Throughout the ages, there are a large number of civil servants in history. In order to divide the power of the prime minister, various policies have been introduced in past dynasties, such as setting up left and right prime ministers, or when it is clear that only one person is needed for a position, the ruler has to arrange more people to work together. The emperor of the Song Dynasty supported soldiers with self-respect, and was particularly afraid that military commanders would have too much power. Therefore, the Song Dynasty advocated civil servants and suppressed the development of military commanders. Zhu stood out among many civil servants in the Song Dynasty and was admired by later generations for his understanding of Confucianism and his pursuit of knowledge. Before Zhu was born, his father Zhu Song asked someone to calculate his own life. The master said: So it is rich, so it is expensive, but if you have another child, it will be the reincarnation of Confucius. ? Zhu Song did not agree with this. After Zhu was born, he didn't expect anything from him.

However, Zhu Song gradually found that the master's words may be right, because he found that Zhu was extremely clever, and Zhu showed great love for thinking when he was young. He often thinks alone, such as? What's on it? Does the boundless square have an end? ? This kind of problem. Zhu Song soon sent Zhu to school, where Zhu accepted Confucianism faster than ordinary people. This made Zhu Song, whose career was not smooth at that time, begin to place high hopes on Zhu Xi. At this time, he began to believe what the master said.

After Confucius founded the Confucian School, Confucianism had a low ebb, but after the advocacy of Dong Zhongshu and Han Yu, Confucianism gradually defeated other schools and was recognized by the rulers, thus becoming the orthodox culture of China for thousands of years. When Zhu studied Confucianism deeply, he put forward? Neo-Confucianism? In this theory, he made his own interpretation of the Four Books and Five Classics, which was recognized by the rulers at that time. If all previous dynasties before Zhu were based on Confucius' own theory, then Confucianism after Zhu was mainly interpreted on the basis of Zhu's thought.

Zhu was respected by later generations as a master of Confucianism, and he was a master of Confucianism after Confucius and Mencius. From this perspective, Zhu is undoubtedly the reincarnation of Confucius.
