The creation of private schools, breaking the "learning in the government" tradition, and further promote the downward movement of academic culture.

Since Duke Xuan, the state of Lu has been in the hands of the three Huan families, led by the Ji family. In the early years of the Duke of Zhaogong, the three families divided up the military power of the king of Lu. Kong had expressed his indignation at the unauthorized behavior of the Ji Clan's "eight rows of dancers in the court". In the 25th year of the reign of Duke Zhao (517 B.C.), the state of Lu was in internal strife, and Confucius left Lu for Qi. When Duke Jing of Qi asked Confucius about politics, Confucius said, "The ruler is the ruler, the minister is the minister, the father is the father, and the son is the son." He also said, "Politics is about saving money." The Qi regime is controlled by the Chen family, and although Duke Jing was pleased with Confucius' words, he was unable to use them.

Confucius was not successful in Qi, so he returned to Lu, "retired to cultivate poetry, books, rituals and music, and his disciples were many", and those who came from afar to learn from him were almost all over the vassal states. At that time, the power of Lu was vested in the Ji clan, which was under the control of its vassal Yang Shou. Confucius was dissatisfied with the situation that the government was not under the ruler but under the ministers, and he did not want to go out to work. He said, "To be unrighteous and rich is like floating clouds to me."

Lu Dinggong nine years (501 years ago), Yang goods was expelled, Confucius only to see the use of Lu, was appointed to the middle of the capital of Zai, the year Confucius fifty-one years old. "In the first year of his life, the four directions were the same". He was then promoted from Zhongdu Zai to Sikong, and then to Da Sikou. In the 10th year of the Duke of Lu's reign (500 years ago), Confucius was invited to a meeting in the valley between Qi and Lu. Confucius believes that "there is a man must be prepared, there is a man must be prepared", early prevention, so that Qi wanted to use force to hijack the premeditated failure of the ruler of Lu, and the use of diplomacy to take back the Qi invasion of Yuncheng, irrigation, the fields of Guoyin. Ding Gong 12 years (498 years ago) Confucius in order to strengthen the office, inhibit the three Huan, invoking the ancient system "family does not hide the armor, no hundred pheasants of the city of the euphony," put forward the "fall of the three capitals," the plan, and through the Zi Zai Ji Zilu to implement. Because Confucius took advantage of the conflict between the three Huan and their vassals, the Jisun and Shusun clans agreed to destroy Feiyi and Houyi respectively. However, the Mengsun clan was incited by their vassal Gongjuezifu to oppose the destruction of Chengyi. The Duke of Ding surrounded it and failed to conquer it. Confucius' plan was thwarted.

Confucius' service to Lu, the people of Qi, fearing that Lu would be strong enough to join them, gave female music to Duke Ding and Ji Huanzi. The two of them were not allowed to listen to the government for three days. It was difficult for Confucius to realize his political ambition, so he led Yan Hui, Zi Lu, Zi Gong, Ran Qiu and other ten disciples to leave the "State of Parents", and began a 14-year-long career of wandering around the world. Confucius was fifty-five years old. First, he went to Wei, where he was treated with courtesy by the Duke of Wei Ling, but later he was under surveillance, and he was afraid of being offended, so he went to Chen. After passing through Kuangdi, he was besieged for five days. After the siege was lifted, he wanted to go to Jin by way of Pu, but because of the internal turmoil in Jin, he did not go there, and had to return to Wei again. He had met Nanzi, which aroused suspicion from many quarters. Duke Ling of Wei was negligent in politics and did not use Confucius. Confucius said, "If I am used, I will be successful in three years." Later, when the country of Wei was in turmoil, Confucius left Wei and traveled to Song via Cao. When Huan Kui, the Secretary of Song, wanted to kill Confucius, he traveled to Chen via Zheng, Song, and was sixty years old. After that, Confucius traveled back and forth between Chen and Cai many times, and was "in trouble between Chen and Cai". According to the Records of the Grand Historian (史记), when King Zhao of Chu (楚昭王) came to recruit Confucius, the Chen and Cai officials besieged him, resulting in a seven-day food shortage. After the siege was lifted, Confucius went to Chu, and King Zhao of Chu died soon afterward. Duke Wei wanted to use Confucius. Confucius replied to Zi Lu's question, saying that "correcting the name" must be the first step in politics. After returning to Wei, although Confucius was treated with the courtesy of "raising a virtuous man", he still did not see use. In the eleventh year of Duke Ai of Lu (484 years ago), Ran You returned to Lu and led his army to defeat the Qi army in Lang. Jikangzi sent someone to welcome Confucius with coins. He was sixty-eight years old when he returned to Lu.

After his return to Lu, Confucius was honored by the Lu people as a "State Elder", and at the beginning of his career, Duke Ai of Lu and Jikangzi often consulted him on political matters, but he was never reappointed. In his later years, Confucius devoted himself to organizing literature and continuing to engage in education. He died in the 16th year of the reign of Duke Ai of Lu (479 BC), and was buried in Surabaya, north of the city of Lu.
