At last, in 497 BC, after long wanderings, it has arrived to a native kingdom of Lu which corrected then worthy, in its opinion, a sovereign. Kun Tsju has been appointed by the city governor Jung-Du that allowed to carry out ideas of reasonable management of territory subject to it in practice. However at execution of the duties the newly made governor has unexpectedly faced the political opposition which was not wishing any changes.

Having convinced by that the princes, whatever they were, do not require its manuals, Konfutsy has refused a post, having decided to serve the people as a different way. There have come years of wanderings. Wandering on cities and settlements together with pupils, Konfutsy learnt to their ancient Chinese ceremonies, talked about the literature and drevnekitajskoj wisdom. In these conversations there was a main treatise of Konfutsija - ' Lun juj ' (' Conversations and judgements ') which, undoubtedly, leant against the ancient monuments telling and about mythical tsars of Heavenly Empire Jao, Shune, Jue, and about founders of a kingdom of Chzhou - Ven-vane, U-vane, Chzhou-gune.

In this treatise of Konfutsy has made an attempt to glorify ' the Golden Age ' the country and to call for restoration of far traditions. Creating a picture of the best social order and aspiring to give to it persuasiveness, the philosopher constantly referred that such system already once was. An epoch of Chzhou as if a beacon, the life of all people should shine.

Telling about composition sources ' Lun juj ', it is necessary to mean that it leant first of all on well-known drevnekitajskuju ' Itszin ' (' the Book of changes '), about which Konfutsy told: ' If to me years of a life have increased, I as early as would study years fifty ' Itszin ' and, probably, would avoid many errors '. Konfutsy it is not casual so highly appreciated the most ancient poetic and philosophical monument. ' the Book of changes ' furnished the clue to knowledge of the basic beginnings of life, and the most original, from the modern point of view, way - by means of conjectural trigramm (drawings) - gua.
