According to legend, he has 3,000 disciples and 72 disciples of saints, who have led some disciples around the world. Confucius' thought has a far-reaching influence on later generations.

The combination of Confucius and Mencius formed the Confucian "Tao of Confucius and Mencius". [3]

Confucius first took his disciples to Weiguo, and Wei Linggong began to respect Confucius very much. According to Lu's salary standard, his salary to Confucius is 6 yuan.
Wan, but didn't give him any official position, also didn't let him participate in politics. Confucius lived in Weiguo for about 10 months. Because someone slandered Wei Linggong, Wei Linggong became suspicious of Confucius, and sent someone to publicly monitor Confucius' actions. So Confucius left Weiguo with his disciples and planned to go to Chen.
When passing through Kuangcheng, I was besieged for five days because of misunderstanding. I fled Kuangcheng, came to Dipu, met my uncle, a patriotic aristocrat who launched a rebellion, and was besieged again. After escaping, Confucius returned to China to defend his country. Wei Linggong was very happy to hear that Confucius and his disciples had returned from Dipu, and went to meet him in person. Since then, Confucius has gone abroad several times and returned to China several times. On the one hand, Wei Linggong had both good and bad feelings towards Confucius; On the other hand, after Confucius went abroad, he had nowhere to go and had to return.
In the second year (Confucius was fifty-nine), Confucius left the country, passed through Cao, Song and Zheng, and arrived in the state of Chen, so the laborers besieged Confucius and his disciples in the middle of the road, not relying on the village in front or the shops in the back. Zigong ate up all the food they brought, and finally found the Chu people. The Chu people sent troops to meet Confucius, and Confucius and his disciples were saved from death. Confucius returned to Weiguo at the age of 64. With the efforts of his disciple Ran Qiu, he was welcomed back to Lu at the age of 68, but he was still respectful.
Confucius' family is very poor. Because of troubled times, the benevolent policy advocated by Confucius has no room for display, but during the three months of governing Lu, the powerful State of Qi was also afraid of Confucius' talents, which shows that Confucius is a well-deserved title of outstanding politician. Political dissatisfaction made Confucius devote a large part of his energy to education. Confucius used to be a scout in the state of Lu, then traveled around the world with his disciples and asked Lao Tzu for advice in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Finally, I returned to Shandong and concentrated on teaching. Confucius broke the monopoly of education and started a private school, with as many as 3000 disciples, including 72 sages. Many of these 72 people are the pillars of senior officials in various countries, which have continued the glory for Confucianism. Among the "seventy-two wise men", Yan Hui is Confucius' favorite disciple.
