Among the four Great Sage mentors, Confucius came last. Who was the first?

In my opinion, Confucius, Guiguzi, Laozi and Jiang Ziya are the four ancient sage mentors in China. Among them, Confucius is only ranked fourth. In ancient times, teachers had a very high status for students. As the saying goes, a teacher is a lifelong father, and a teacher is like a student's father. This shows how high the status of ancient teachers in China is. Here are four Great Sage mentors.

Fourth place: Confucius, a native of Shandong at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, was the first to advocate benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom. Confucius was the founder of the Confucian school. Confucius led his disciples to study abroad for more than ten years and revised the Six Classics. It is said that Confucius has more than 3000 disciples. After the death of Confucius, Confucius' students recorded the words and deeds of Confucius and his disciples, which is the Analects we read. Confucius was a great saint in ancient times, and his Confucianism was deeply rooted in people's hearts, which was influenced by feudal society for several days.

Third place: Guiguzi, Guiguzi can be regarded as the most mysterious teacher. Guiguzi was a famous strategist in ancient China and a representative figure of Taoism. Guiguzi was proficient in metaphysics. He is known as the ancestor of divination, who can use troops, observe celestial phenomena and master the knowledge of a hundred schools of thought. He calls himself Mr. Guiguzi. And I have taught many famous teachers in my life, such as Sun Bin and others.

Second place: Laozi, formerly known as Li Er, was an ancient thinker, writer and historian in China, the founder and representative of Taoist school. Laozi is one of hundreds of historical celebrities in the world, and the most famous work, Tao Te Ching, is one of the works with the largest circulation in the world. In Taoism, Laozi is regarded as "the old gentleman on the throne". Therefore, it has a high position in the history of our country.

Last place: that is, Jiang Ziya was the first person, and Jiang Ziya was a person in the late Shang Dynasty. Jiang Ziya's ancestors once assisted Dayu. According to legend, when Jiang Ziya was 72 years old, he met Zhou Wenwang when he was fishing by the Wei River, and he was named a Taishi by Zhou Wenwang. Jiang Ziya assisted in cutting the Zhou Dynasty and establishing the Zhou Dynasty. He is an outstanding strategist and politician in the history of China. Be honored as "Hundred Teachers".
