Zai Wo is one of the Ten philosophers in four subjects under Confucius.He is the first of the disciples of Confucius in the subject of language.His rhetoric is reflected in Analects of Confucius and other literatures.He liked to ask questions and debate them with Confucius,and he has received a lot of criticism from Confucius.In the literature,Zai Wo ' s life was complicated and confusing,especially the identity dispute between "Kan Zhi" and "Zai Wo",which has been endlessly disputed for thousands of years,is very controversial.After textual research,the so-called "Kan Zhi" in Biography of Zuo should refer to Zai Wo.Since the Warring States period,many documents mistakenly thought that Zai Wo was in collusion with Tian Chang to make a mess,so Confucius was ashamed of him and did not think highly of him in general.Since ancient times,many scholars have defended him.Based on the detailed research,it can be seen that Zai Wo did participate in the rebellion of the state of Qi and he was killed by Tian Chang,not a rebel.From the Analects of Confucius,Zai Wo was both serious and casual,both eccentric and innovative.Among them,Zai Yu slept during the day reflects his embarrassment but not motivated,so he is criticized by Confucius.Duke Ai of Lu asked the god of forgiveness reflects Zai Wo's intention to encourage him to establish authority with the chestnut tree.The question of benevolence indicates that he has seen the dilemma of "benevolence" in practice.The funeral of three years shows that he intends to explore the constant and change in the funeral rites.Ranked in four subjects indicats that Confucius gave Zai Wo a high praise in his later years.In general,the selected chapters on Zai Wo in the Analects of Confucius are the parts criticized by Confucius,which may easily lead to the misunderstanding and prejudice of later generations towards Zai Wo.Based on the comprehensive analysis of various historical materials,it can be seen that in his later years,out of his appreciation and recognition for Zai Wo,Confucius ranked him first in the language subject,believed that his ability was superior to Zi Gong.Zai Wo also respected and protected Confucius,but he did a poor job in dealing with his classmates.
