Idiom story

In the spring and Autumn period, when Confucius was excluded from the state of Lu, he led his disciples to travel around the world. After encountering obstacles and tribulations in Wei, song, Zheng and other places, his disciples dissuaded him from going to Jin. He went his own way. He saw the tragedy of Yang Hu slaughtering the city in Zhongmou City, which finally made Confucius give up the idea of going to Jin and go to Chen state to promote "benevolent government"
