Story:
During the Spring and Autumn Period, after Confucius and his disciples encountered difficulties while traveling among various states, he eventually returned to Lu State with the help of Ran Qiu.
He chose not to associate with Ji Kangzi. Instead, he dedicated himself to writing, compiling and editing 'The Book of Odes,' 'The Book of History,' 'The Book of Rites,' 'The Book of Music,' and 'The Spring and Autumn Annals.'
Looking back on his life, his travels through various states, his earnest and patient persuasion of rulers, resulted in constant setbacks and impoverished circumstances.
