Confucius was an autist

Confucius was an autist

that's only because autism is so fucking meaningless these days

he wasn't socially retarded which is what matters

Mencius was 300% cooler than Confucius.

He had a job and a family. Which is more than what can be said for you, user.

Didn't Confucius spend his life LOOKING for a job?

Uh no.

Confucius started out as an academic teacher and archery instructor. Then he became an official, then a close advisor to the Duke of Lu, his home-state, aiding him in centralizing his rule. The Duke became a hedonistic piece of shit and Confucius left in disgust. Confucius then wanted to be an advisor of a king but died unable to achieve that goal.

>archery instructor.
Pretty badass of him.

As an instructor of Chinese nobles, Confucius is required to teach the "Six Noble Arts" as per Zhou tradition.

Which is: Rituals, Music, Calligraphy, Mathematics, Charioteering, and Archery.

Confucius specifically taught Chariot Archery, since that is the chief duty of Pre-imperial Chinese nobles in wartime.

Who isn't?

>archery
>noble
fucking chinks can't get anything right

>getting wrecked in melee
>a thing noble would willingly do

>get down and fight on foot in melee like a peasant

lolno

I never said anything about infantry, chumps.

Archery was a noble art in European cultures you memespouting fag.

Also in Japan.
I think it's fairly widespread.

I recall reading archery being the shit in India as well.

Arjuna had a bow and arrow which pretty much meant he won at everything all the time so long as he used it.

...

Thankyou.

m8 if you were a Charioted noblemen in the ancient ages, chances are you'd fight with a ranged weapon as your primary combat arm.

Didn't mean Chinese nobles were pussies in CQB. We've recovered bits of their armor for one thing. In addition, during Confucius' time, part of the reason why China invented halberds long before anyone else is because the Nobles wanted a weapon that can hook off other charioteers off their carts in case they are on foot or cut down fleeing infantrymen like a farmer with his scythe. This came in the form of a long-hafted special axe-type called a "Ge" (literally: Dagger Axe). Later in the warring states they added a speartip on the ge, turning it into the "Ji" (Halberd)

Pretty much everywhere you have warrior nobility. Because accurately hitting a target, especially out of the back of a moving chariot, is the kind of thing you can only reliably do as a professional soldier, or as someone who can dedicate a lot of time to learning the craft.
