From ancient times to the present, the Chinese nation has not lacked "single-minded" people. People may think they are stupid, but they are the backbone of the national spirit and culture, and will be remembered by future generations. The film quoted many classic quotations from The Analects, which gave me a deeper understanding of the origin and meaning of these quotations.
If Zilu rescued Qi Sigong, he was afraid of hurting everyone, so he was going to send him to his wife and brother in Wei. Gong Shanyu came to arrest Qi Sigong, and wanted to win over Kong, join forces, expel Sanhuan, and control the state of Lu." Confucius said: "The way is different, and it is not for each other." "Abolish the evil custom of burying with living people", which was opposed by Ji Sun's family. Confucius said: "The benevolent loves others, but killing people with propriety is not propriety." People will always love him; if he respects others, people will always respect him. Gong Shanju said good things for Ji Sun, Confucius retorted, making Gong Shanju feel ashamed, and Confucius said: "It seems that the doctor is not willing to be this burial person. Then, do not do to others what you do not want to do.” These classic quotations have been passed down for thousands of years and have influenced the world.
In the years of traveling around the world, Confucius experienced thousands of hardships. Not only was he not reused, but he almost died. However, his belief was always unmoved.
Regarding the historical records in the film, I only hope that the screenwriter can respect history. For example, the time of Zheng's demise was wrong, and it was destroyed by South Korea in the early years of the Warring States Period. These will make people misunderstand the history of China.
Overall, this film is a good drama, but how can Confucius's life be summed up in a movie? I hope to make a TV series in the future, so that the spirit of Confucius and Mencius will be passed down through the ages and will never disappear.
