Daniel ~ Day 4- 29 October 2008 (Wednesday)

Today, after 3 hours of bus ride, we finally reached Jinah, we had lunch at there and went to Confucius temple, mansion, forestry. We even learned that the king was jealous of Confucius because there were too many people loving Confucius more than the king. Some people know that the king was jealous during the visit and so, they decided to cover the one line of "wang" which was in chinese and also, it means king. The 1st two son of Confucius were buried near him. Confucius was a wise and righteous person. He got abandoned by his family due to his abnormal condition when he was born. After he got abandoned, a eagle used its wings to cool down Confucius so he would not die due to the heat. A tiger let Confucius drinks its milk due to him having no parents and no milk to drink from. Confucius studied hard for his next generation and other people, to lead a better life. Confucius' job was an official, he did not stay as official for very long time as the higher rank official didn't like him and they were corrupted, thus,Confucius quitted. Later on, we had rest time till 6pm in hotel and we prepared to go to the market at night after dinner.
