But the reality is just the opposite of what we have done. Who would have thought that such an ancestor among the literati of past dynasties turned out to be a giant with military value in "Crying the Gods"?
Adding wings to a tiger, having a son, the family inheritance is amazing.
Confucius is from Shandong. We have the impression that all men in Shandong are tall, and Confucius is no exception, but the height of Confucius may be even higher than we thought.
According to Historical Records Confucius Family, Confucius was "nine feet six inches long, and everyone called him a' long man' but different".
Although there is controversy about the conversion of 9' 6 ",there is one person who thinks that Confucius was Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period and should be converted according to the standard of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period, that is, about1.95m..
The other is that Sima Qian, who wrote historical records, was from the Han Dynasty and should be converted according to the measurement standards of the Han Dynasty. Then Confucius was almost as tall as Yao Ming, estimated at about 2.22 meters.
In fact, no matter what kind of statement, it at least shows that Confucius is at least a giant whose height exceeds 1.9 meters.
Height is actually influenced by genetics, so I have to mention Confucius' father, Shu.
Although he died when Confucius was a child, it is said that this long man with a height of more than 2.4 meters can be called "Three Tiger Generals of Lu" together with the famous retainers of Lu and Mencius, which shows that his force is extremely powerful.
Forced Yang Zhizhi, when the troops were lured into the city and trapped, he raised the gate with his bare hands to ensure the evacuation route and time for the troops, not to mention that he could give birth to Confucius at the age of 7 1.
Like tiger, like son, Confucius inherited such excellent family genes perfectly.
Liezi Fu Shuo said: "Confucius was strong enough to lift the city gate, but he didn't want to be famous by force. "Thus, our sage Kong is also a macho man who can lift the door with his bare hands.
At that time, there was a samurai named Meng Ben who admired Confucius' force. According to Huai Nan Zi's Notes on Shu Xun, "Confucius runs as fast as a rabbit and can carry the door."
You should know that this Meng Ben is a lean man who can pull away two fighting cows with his bare hands, and he can get his respect, which shows how strong Confucius' martial arts are.
On another occasion, Confucius and his disciples traveled around the world, and they were trapped between Cai Guo and Chen Guo. They were hungry for seven days and nights, and the disciples could hardly hold on. However, Confucius was on the verge of an enemy, and even gave them two lessons from time to time, which showed their strong physical quality.
A gentleman has six arts, and martial arts accounts for one third.
Confucius once said, "If you don't train people in peacetime, you will send them directly to the battlefield when you fight."
After all, during the Spring and Autumn Period, wars between countries never stopped, so even though Confucius advocated benevolence, martial arts was a skill that had to be learned in order to survive.
Not to mention that Confucius traveled around the world without knowing what dangers he would encounter, martial arts self-defense is even more indispensable.
Therefore, among the six gentlemen's skills that Confucianism wants to learn, there are two martial arts, namely, royal and shooting, accounting for one third of the total.
Then Confucius, as a teacher, naturally mastered the two things: imperial and shooting, in order to educate his disciples well.
According to the Analects of Confucius, at the age of 63, Confucius was able to ride a horse and teach students this subject.
And shooting this theme is Confucius' specialty. According to the Book of Rites, when Confucius shoots an arrow, he will be surrounded by onlookers, three floors inside and three floors outside.
And Confucius had many comments on archery. He once said, "As long as your heart is right and you can hit the bull's-eye, then you are a sage. It is not a sage who can't hit the bull's-eye."
In addition, to what extent is Confucius' archery superb? He once said, "If you swim, don't shoot at the hut." Generally speaking, shooting birds will fly in the sky, so it's not difficult. That's a real archer.
In addition to superb archery and archery, Confucius was also very proficient in fencing. The portraits of Confucius circulated in later generations are mostly like Confucius with a sword around his waist. Moreover, fencing was a necessary skill for nobles in the Spring and Autumn Period. How could Confucius, who was born in a noble family in Lu, not be? What's more, their family is a family of military commanders.
There is no class in teaching, and the disciples have excellent grades.
It may be to maintain the image of Confucius as a benevolent saint, so we can't find any actual combat records of Confucius in the existing materials, but we can infer Confucius' force from the records of Confucius disciples by a detour.
First of all, let's talk about Luz, who was the bodyguard and proud disciple of Confucius when he later traveled around the world. This can be said to be the best evidence of Confucius' thought of "teaching without class"
After all, who would have thought that Luz, the leader of Confucius' seventy-two sages, turned out to be a bully and a bunch of younger brothers before following Confucius.
And this kind of person can willingly listen to Confucius' teachings, which shows that Confucius still has two brushes.
Next, let's talk about another of his disciples, You Ran, who helped Ji's army fight and won the final victory. Ji thought, don't you Confucianists talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and explain the scriptures and reason? How can you lead troops to fight? So he asked You Ran where he learned the strategic knowledge, and You Ran replied, "I learned it from Confucius".
It can be seen that Confucius not only has excellent martial arts, but also has a very high military accomplishment.
In addition, Confucius' temper is actually quite grumpy. According to the Book of Rites on Tan Gong, one day in midsummer, he asked Confucius what to do if his parents were killed.
Confucius replied to the effect that I just slept on a straw mat and used a shield as a pillow. I am not an official, but whenever I meet an enemy, I will kill him on the spot, no matter where he is.
Saint Kong, an old man's house, deserves to be called a "good for good" carefree gentleman.
Since Confucius, Confucianism, such as Xunzi and Mencius, has rarely been superb in force, and later Confucian scholars are even more weak Confucianism with no hands to tie chickens.
Due to the inherent impression of Confucian doctrine of the mean, Confucius has also changed from a two-meter-tall man with both civil and military skills, who likes and hates, to a kind and loving grandfather who repays evil with good.
Although in the impression of most people today, Confucius is a scholar, an educator and a satellite, but Confucius really knows martial arts, and martial arts is still very powerful!
