Trivia

Confucius (孔子; c. 551 – c. 479 BCE), born Kong Qiu (孔丘), was a Chinese philosopher of the Spring and Autumn period who is traditionally considered the paragon of Chinese sages. Much of the shared cultural heritage of the Sinosphere originates in the philosophy and teachings of Confucius. His philosophical teachings, called Confucianism, emphasized personal and governmental morality, harmonious social relationships, righteousness, kindness, sincerity, and a ruler's responsibilities to lead by virtue.

In some historical materials, Confucius is described as a vigorous man, thus some Chinese netizens began to make memes about it, and his Analects of Confucius (论语) are described into Analects of Confusion (抡语)

E.G.
朝闻道, 夕死可矣
Proper Translation: If I know the truth of the world today, I won't have any complain even if I'd dying tonight.
Incorrect Translation: If I know the way to your home today, you'll just die tonight.
