story

During the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period, the world was full of disputes. Confucius took his disciples to travel around the world, advocating his benevolence and righteousness. Zhuangzi made a sharp criticism of Confucius. In his article "stealing Zhi", Zhuangzi attacked Confucius by fabricating the story of stealing Zhi criticizing Confucius. Pointing to Confucius, Zhi sneered: "this man is Confucius Qiu, a skillful puppet of the state of Lu. He does not farm but eat, and does not weave but clothe. He is good at right and wrong by" shaking his lips and beating his tongue ", so as to confuse the monarchs in the world and make the scholars forget the foundation of their studies. He hopes that the monarch can be granted Marquis Xiangui." This is a strong mockery of Confucius's saying that "everything is inferior, only reading is high". Lip shaking is used to describe the use of eloquence to incite or lobby.
