What books did Confucius write?

1. Confucius devoted himself to education in his later years, compiling poems, books, rituals and music, prefacing the Book of Changes (also known as Ten Wings of the Book of Changes, or Yi Zhuan) and writing the Spring and Autumn Annals. Later generations collectively referred to as the Six Classics.

Confucius' Spring and Autumn Annals is a political work, which contains the author's profound political thoughts, which is the unanimous view of scholars from pre-Qin Meng and Xun to Han Ma and Ban. After the Han Dynasty, Confucian classics declined, and scholars began to regard Chunqiu as a historical work, which triggered a long-term debate on the nature of Chunqiu.

2. According to legend, Confucius once wrote poems such as Song of Shanglu, Song of Perrin, Turtle Mountain Exercise, Disc Exercise, Blue Exercise, Return to Cao, Song of Delin, etc. Most of these poems are included in Yuefu poetry anthology, and their credibility is not high.

The main achievements of Confucius

Confucius constructed a complete ideological system of "virtue and virtue": he advocated the virtue and virtue of "benevolence and courtesy" at the individual level. The ideological system of Tao Te Ching is a complete ideological system based on the theory of good nature, with the purpose of educating people, connecting human nature with heaven, and transforming the golden mean into methodology in due course.

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".
