But this view has been questioned by many scholars. We know that ancient books often describe men as "seven-foot men" or "seven-foot men". It can be seen that the ancient people were seven feet tall and should be above the average height. Otherwise, why is it called "Kai"? According to the Chinese ruler, this "seven feet" is 16 1.7 cm.
Yao Ming is like a little giant in the eyes of modern ordinary people. If Confucius is almost as tall as Yao Ming, it can be said that it was very rare in ancient times when the average height of men was less than 1.7 meters, and it is worthy of being a great work. Why is there no description of Confucius' height in pre-Qin books?
When the ancients talked about the length of people or things, they were often exaggerated or even false. How tall Confucius is, he may have to take a time machine to see for himself.
Extended data:
Confucius: Confucius is poor and cheap. And the dragon, the taste is history, and the material quantity is flat; Taste the interest of livestock as officials. The truth is a cliche. He once defected to Lu, refused Qi, chased Song and Wei, and was trapped between Chen and Cai, so he turned against Lu. Confucius was nine feet six inches long, and everyone called him a "long man". Is kind, so he opposes Lu.
