Confucius sorted out poems, books, rituals and music by collecting, searching, sorting out and modifying original materials and clues, which is called "narration". According to legend, Confucius once wrote poems such as Song of Shanglu, Song of Dragonfly Water, Turtle Mountain Exercise, Disk Exercise, Lan Cao, Returning to Cao, Song of Delin, etc. These poems are mostly contained in Yuefu Poetry Collection, which needs to be verified.
Educational thought
Confucius put forward for the first time in the history of China that people's natural qualities are similar, and the differences in personality are mainly influenced by acquired education and social environment ("similar in sex, far from learning"). Therefore, everyone can be educated and everyone should be educated.
He advocated "no education for all", founded private schools and enrolled more students, which broke the monopoly of slave owners and nobles on school education and expanded the scope of education to civilians, conforming to the trend of social development at that time.
