Confucius was first and foremost erudite. Confucius was a lifelong learner, and he said, "In an area of ten rooms, there must be a person as loyal and faithful as Qiu, but not as learned as Qiu" ("Gongye Chang"). Confucius was the master of traditional Chinese culture, and he was the best teacher for students to learn from. When an emissary from the state of Wu asked him for advice, he was so impressed by Confucius' knowledge that he exclaimed, "I am a good and holy man" ("The Family of Confucius").

Many students from poor families, got his selfless teaching and help, such as Yan Hui, Zi Lu; he respected the old and loved the young, "the townspeople drink wine, the staff out, S out of it"; care for the township neighbors, "friends die, nothing to return to, said the funeral of me" ("Township Party").

Confucius for the ideal of steadfastness. He said: "years of cold, and then know the pine and cypress after withering also", "three armies can take command also, the people can not take the will also" ("Zihan chapter"). Confucius pursued his political and social ideals and traveled the world for fourteen years, and his strength of character attracted students to follow him all the way.
