His predecessor was an aristocrat in the Song Dynasty, who moved to Lu to escape the civil strife. Father and uncle, mother is strict. Lu Xianggong was born in Lushi (now Qufu, Shandong Province) in the 22nd year (55 1). Lu is the fief of Bo Qin, the son of Duke Zhou, and is known as the land of rites and music. By the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the rites and music were still intact. Lu's deep-rooted tradition of rites and music has a profound influence on Confucius. When Confucius was young, he often played with Chen Naidou and held ceremonies. He lost his father in his early years and his family was poor. When he was young, he was a small official in charge of granary and grazing. In his thirties, he began to give lectures. In the 26th year of Emperor Lu Zhaodi (5 16), there was civil strife in Lu, and Confucius was dissatisfied with the Sanhuan forces headed by Ji. He once left Lu for Qi and soon made a comeback. Start sorting out poems, books, rituals and music. The more disciples you recruit, the greater your influence. Nine years in Lu (before 50 1), he served as the commander in chief, with considerable achievements. Later, he was promoted to Sikong and Dashikou. In the tenth year of Lu, Qilu Huimeng, Confucius and Mencius gave each other tributes, and soldiers of Lu gave each other tributes to recover the fields occupied by Qi. In the thirteenth year of Emperor Ding, Confucius proposed to destroy the three capitals, namely, Shu and Shi. After the destruction of Shu and Fei, Shi used troops, and Confucius' plan failed. After the political situation in Lu changed, Confucius saw that his ideal was difficult to realize, so he led his disciples to leave Lu and began to travel around the world. At the age of 55, Confucius was 55. In 14, Confucius visited Wei, Chen, Song, Cai, Chu and other countries to publicize his political views to the governors, but it was useless. In the eleventh year (484 BC), Ji Kangzi greeted Confucius with coins, and Confucius returned to Shandong at the age of 68. Lu Aigong and Ji Kangzi often asked Confucius about politics, but it was useless. Confucius devoted himself to education in his later years, sorting out ancient books such as poems and books, and deleting Chunqiu. Its students recorded their thoughts and actions in The Analects. 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 "doesn't talk about strangeness, strength, chaos and spirit", saying that "if you don't know life, how can you know death" and "if you can't convince people, how can you convince ghosts", avoiding the question of whether people become ghosts after death.
