The Analects of Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Application example:
Zhuge Liang's "Model" in the Three Kingdoms Period: I am a virtuous minister, far from a villain, which is also the reason for my prosperity; You little people, far from being wise ministers, have been so depressed in the Han Dynasty ever since.
Being close to talents and staying away from despicable people is the reason for the prosperity in the early Han Dynasty, while being close to despicable people and staying away from talents is the reason for the decadence in the late Han Dynasty.

"Women are the only villains who don't support themselves" is regarded as a classic discourse of Confucius' disrespect for women, and it has also been defended. They say that the woman in this sentence means "you" in another sense, and the villain means "zi", but the real translation is overlapping. Confucius repeated it, just like swearing. Confucius, a scholar, can't speak straight and swear. It doesn't make sense.
In fact, compared with reality, there is nothing to make a fuss about this sentence of Confucius. He just felt Confucius as a man for a moment, which means it is difficult to get along with the opposite sex and inferior people, and there is not much profound discussion.
Is it because this sentence is very common, or instead, as some people who defend this sentence everywhere say, respect women? That's not true. There is a saying in the Analects of Confucius Taber, "There are five officials in Shun: King Wu said: There are chaotic officials (chaotic officials refer to the main heroes, chaos: as part of the whole theme of the movement at that time: chaos. There are ten people. Confucius said: Is it difficult? At the time of Tang Yu, I was prosperous and had only nine women. " Shun has five virtues, so he can govern the world well. Zhou Wuwang also said, "I have ten courtiers to help me run the country."
Confucius said, "Talent is rare, isn't it?" ? This period was between Tang Yao, Yu Shun and Zhou Wuwang, with the most abundant talents. But one of the ten ministers is a woman, which can only be counted as nine. ) Zhou Wuwang's mother, Zhou Wenwang's wife, virtuous, mother-in-law, Zhou Wenwang's love with him became a much-told story, especially the scene where Zhou Wenwang married her, which moved her immensely;
She is extremely virtuous and sets an example, and all her sons are promising. Zhou Wuwang once lamented that she could not have achieved today's success without her mother's nurturing and teaching, but she got this country. Ten people have contributed to the success, and her mother should be counted among them. Zhou Wuwang's mother is neither a villain nor a woman as Confucius said. But when Confucius discussed it, he counted ten people, saying that it was not a woman, but only nine people.
Mother Zhou's morality is incomparable because she is a woman. Although it is a feudal patriarchal society, we should look down on women. At that time, the villain was uneducated, and Confucius could look down on him. The woman at home is too nagging, so you can say that she is difficult to get along with. However, Confucius' views on the mother of the world are particularly prominent, so Confucius is also suspected of discriminating against women here.
