How to treat Confucius' poetics

How to treat Confucius' comments on poetry: One of Confucius' greatest contributions to poetry aesthetics is a comprehensive definition of the social function of poetry.

Confucius introduced as follows:

Confucius (55 1 years ago-April 479 1 1 days ago) was born in Zhong Ni in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was a native of Qufu City, Shandong Province, and his ancestral home was Song Guoyi (now Xiayi County, Henan Province). Father and uncle, mother is strict. China was an ancient thinker, educator and founder of Confucianism.

Confucius traveled around the world as follows:

In the fourteenth year of Lu (496 BC), Confucius left Lu for Wei with his disciples. Confucius was summoned by Wei Linggong's wife Nanzi in Weiguo. Lutz, a disciple of Confucius, criticized Confucius for reading Nanzi. Confucius was very sad to hear the news of Zheng Guoci's death, and praised Zici as a kind person handed down from ancient times.

Confucius first took his disciples to Weiguo, and Wei Linggong began to respect Confucius very much. According to Lu's salary standard, he was given a salary of 60 thousand, but he was not given an official position and was not allowed to 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 his actions, so Confucius left the country with his disciples.

I'm going to Chen State. 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 Pudong, 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.

The core of Confucius' political thought is as follows:

The core content of Confucius' political thought is "courtesy" and "benevolence". In the general plan of governing the country, he advocated "governing the country by virtue", which is the noblest way to govern the country. This strategy of governing the country is also called "rule by virtue" or "rule by courtesy". This strategy applies morality and politeness to the people and strictly follows the hierarchy.
