Does Confucius believe in ghosts and gods?

Let's take a look at Confucius' view of ghosts and gods: "Sacrifice to the gods is like being there" (The Analects of Confucius? Gossip); "When Fan Chi asked about knowledge, Confucius said:' The meaning of farming, away from ghosts and gods, can be described as knowledge'" ("The Analects of Confucius? Yong also "); "Children don't talk about strangeness, strength, chaos and spirit" (The Analects of Confucius? Say it again ");" Lu Ji asked ghosts and gods. Confucius said,' If you can't get along with people, how can you get along with ghosts' "(The Analects of Confucius? Advanced "). Confucius used the words "ruzai" and "ruzai" when offering sacrifices to the gods. These two words deserve attention, which shows that in Confucius' view, "God" does not necessarily exist, but he did not completely deny ghosts and gods. He just kept silent about ghosts and gods and "stayed away from ghosts and gods". What he pays attention to is "the meaning of farming" and "how can you get along with ghosts if you can't get along with others", which shows that Confucius values personnel and despises ghosts and gods. Mr. Lu Xun once said, "Mr. Kong Qiu is really great. He was born in an era when witchcraft and ghosts were so powerful that he refused to talk about ghosts and gods as the Romans do. " ("grave? On the collapse of Leifeng Pagoda) It can be seen that primitive Confucianism has an atheistic tendency.
