Just like a pathfinder needs followers, a teacher needs students, and an author of the Classics, which was claimed by Han scholars and the followers of Confucianism, also needs editors, assistants, and readers. Disciples of Confucius must have played an important role in the Early Confucian Community. However, although since the Han Dynasty, Confucians honored these disciples, made sacrifices and placed them together with Confucius in ceremonies, they could not tell what exactly these disciples did in pre-Qin era. The discourses of the disciples are full of anecdotes, the relationship between a probably imagined Confucian community, the scene of receiving teaching and some sayings. None of these discourses can be regarded as a systematic pre-Qin Confucian community according to the core of the Han Confucianism, which is the Classics. Through the reading of two Han works, the Shiji 史記 and the Kongzi Jiayu孔子家語, it can be speculated that Han scholars, by using the orthodox of disciples, thus claimed their own orthodox of explanation of Confucianism, which is the Classic-centric Confucianism.

The Critical Language Scholarship Program is a fully-funded study abroad program sponsored by the U.S. Department of State that provides intensive overseas language and cultural immersion. It is open to U.S. students enrolled in all degree programs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and is open to undergraduate and graduate students both.
Through CLS, students spend eight to ten weeks abroad studying one of 15 critical languages (see below) and earn academic credit for their work. The scholarship includes travel expenses, coursework, group excursions, and a small stipend to cover daily living expenses. Many languages offered by the CLS Program do not require applicants to have any experience studying critical languages.
