Idioms and allusions

Lu Zhi, a scholar in the Tang Dynasty, had a special research on Confucius' spring and Autumn Annals. He wrote books such as spring and autumn annotations, spring and autumn debate, and spring and autumn micro edict. Liu Zongyuan deeply admired his rigorous scholarship. After Lu Zhi's death, he wrote a list of Lu geishi's tombs: "it's a book, where it's full of pillars, where it's out, it's full of sweat." Confucius' thought is broad and profound. Later generations respected him as a saint. At that time, 3000 people followed him to study. At that time, in order to meet the needs of teaching, Confucius had collated and revised the spring and Autumn Annals. Confucius said that "the spring and Autumn period is based on righteousness", that is to use the spring and Autumn Annals to make people understand "righteousness". However, Confucius did not write any works of his own in his life, just "speaking without writing". In the Analects of Confucius, it is said that once Zigong asked Confucius about "the way of heaven." Confucius said, "I don't want to say this." Zi Gong said, "if master doesn't say it, how can we do it?" Confucius said: "how can the way of heaven be explained clearly? The four seasons run because of it, and all things grow because of it. How can the way of heaven be made clear? " This may be the reason why Confucius didn't write. Liu Zongyuan of the Tang Dynasty said: "since Confucius revised the spring and Autumn Annals, more and more people have made biographies for it. At that time, there were five Biographies: Zuozhuan, Gongyang Zhuan, Guliang Zhuan, zoushi Zhuan and Jiashi Zhuan. Later, hundreds of people in all dynasties wrote notes and commentaries on them, and wrote many works with different opinions. These books can be piled up and packed into the house. When they are transported out, the cattle and horses will sweat. "
