In 482 B.C.(the 13th year of Aigong,Duke of the state of Lu),Confucius was in the state of Lu.Confucius ever said,"Although I may do whatever I want at the age of 70,I won't go to extremes."(the Analects·Weizheng)That's to say,as he was a man who had established himself; who was clearminded; who knew the will of Heaven and who could remain calm whatever he heard,whatever he did and thought would not go beyond the doctrines of benevolance and morality and the regulations of rites of Zhou.In his late years Confucius was fond of reading The Book of Changes."He read it so many times that the leather straps that linked the bamboo slips together were broken three times."(the Records of the Historian·Confucian Clan)
