The specific content of Confucius' lecture `

Confucius devoted himself to education in his later years, sorting out ancient books such as poems and books, and deleting Chunqiu. Its students record their thoughts and actions in words. Philosophy Confucius lived in the Spring and Autumn Period, which was a transitional period from slave society to feudal society. Confucius' thought is full of contradictions between the old and the new, reflecting the spiritual outlook of the era of great change. View of Destiny and Ghosts Confucius inherited the traditional view of Destiny and Ghosts, regarded heaven as the master of all things and the god of personality, and believed that destiny dominated people's life and death and also determined social chaos. He advocated that "a gentleman has three fears: fear of destiny, fear of adults and fear of sacred words", and "those who don't know destiny don't think he is a gentleman". But at the same time, he denied the divination activities prevailing in the Zhou Dynasty, and put forward that "what heaven says, what it does at four o'clock, what it produces from the grain", and thought that the destiny was contained in the operation of natural things. Therefore, he advocated "keeping away from ghosts and gods can be described as the unity of knowledge and action." The Analects of Confucius records that Confucius "said nothing about Machamp, chaos and gods" and said "I don't know life, I don't know death" and "I can't serve people, I can't serve ghosts", avoiding the question of whether people become ghosts after death.
