Zai Yu

Prominent disciple of Confucius (522-458 BC) · Academics · Lived 522 BC to 458 BC · aged 64

Zai Yu, also known by his courtesy name Ziwo and as Zai Wo, was a prominent disciple of Confucius, known for his gift in speech. However, Confucius severely criticized him for proposing to shorten the three-year mourning period after the death of a parent.

Zai Yu is read about 37 times a day, in 10 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 8 October 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 120 days, one point a day.
