2. In order to achieve his ambitions, what did Confucius do? Why he failed?

Confucius was a Chinese philosopher and politician during the Spring and Autumn period. He spent his life traveling to different kingdoms, offering advice to rulers and government officials in an attempt to convince them to adopt his philosophy of governing.

In order to achieve his ambitions, Confucius focused on promoting values such as filial piety, respect for tradition, education, and hierarchical order. He believed that by emphasizing these values, people would become better citizens and the government would become more stable.

However, Confucius ultimately failed to achieve his ambitions because many rulers and officials were not receptive to his ideas. Some saw Confucius as a threat to their power and rejected him outright, while others simply did not see the value in following his teachings. Despite his failures, Confucianism became one of China's most influential philosophical systems, and his ideas continue to influence Chinese society to this day.
