Story:
During the Spring and Autumn Period, after Confucius and his disciples encountered many difficulties while traveling through various states, he finally returned to his home state of Lu with the help of Ran Qiu. Confucius found himself at odds with Ji Kangzi and could not collaborate with him.
Therefore, he dedicated himself to writing, compiling and editing the 'Book of Poetry', 'Book of History', 'Book of Rites', and 'Book of Music'. He also wrote 'The Spring and Autumn Annals' from his own perspective, believing that rebellious officials and treacherous sons, upon reading this book, would no longer dare to defy authority and cause trouble.
