Who was the first awesome figure in history who struggled with Confucianism?

As early as 289 years ago, in the sixth year of Zhao Di in the Western Han Dynasty (8 1 BC), there was a wonderful story about the controversy of Confucianism. Sang Hongyang, the hero of the story, defeated Confucianism with his golden tongue and became the first arrogant person in history.

Sang Hongyang (BC 152- 80 BC) was the son of Sangjia, a famous wealthy businessman in Luoyang. Sangjia is the richest man in Luoyang, and Sang Hongyang is a legend. As a teenager, he was famous for "counting without chips" (at that time, ordinary businessmen used chips made of bamboo to count). At the age of thirteen, he became an assistant and began to work beside Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. At the age of thirty-three, he and Dong Guo, Xianyang and Kong only "talked about interests and analyzed the autumnal equinox", and their analysis of the economy was very profound, which won the trust of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. By 65438 BC+065438 BC+05 BC, Kong was only promoted to Da Nong Ling, and Sang Hongyang succeeded Da Nong Cheng, who was in charge of accounting affairs. In the first year of Yuanfeng (BC 1 10), Sang Hongyang became a captain of Sousu and was in charge of national tax finance. In the last years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he served as an imperial adviser (equivalent to deputy prime minister) and was in charge of finance until he was killed in the first year of Han Yuanfeng (80 BC).
