Shea Mullen · Answer 2

According to Google, Confucius was born in the year 551 BC. Gunpowder was used by the people of the T'ang Dynasty around 700 AD (however gunpowder wasn't used as a weapon until 904 AD.) 551 BC + 700 AD = 1, 251.

So the birth of Confucius and gunpowder have around 1, 251 years of difference.
