After encountering obstacles in Wei, Zheng, Chen, Jin and other places, he lived in the state of CAI. Confucius taught his disciples that to be a gentleman, we should persist in learning. If we are in trouble and learn, we will become sages. If we are in trouble and do not learn, there will be no hope. The morale of the disciples was revived.
