Mencius

For the scholar-officials, the path of non-derogatory, not Chen Qian, the path of non-Confucius and Mencius does not describe.

--Inscription

He is an ordinary person. He did not have the pioneering work of Qinhuang Hanwu. He did not discuss the strategy of Fan Li. He did not have the wealth of a rich enemy. He did not have the ability to cover the sky with high power, and he did not even point out the domineering power of Jiangshan. Compared with them, he is just a point of ignition in the stars, so insignificant. But he played his epic, ordinary in the ordinary, he is Mencius.

He inherited Confucius's destiny thought, removed the meaning of the remaining personality god, and turned the heavenly imagination into a spiritual body with moral attributes. He believed that the highest category in philosophy is heaven.

He, in the era of war, in the era of the unfairness of the people. He stood up proudly and put forward the idea of ​​"the people are expensive, the society is second, and the king is light". He treats everyone as poor, regardless of equality, and everyone is equal in his eyes. "Sage and me are similar" and he is so proud.

He, a person who is like a mustard, is in the world. Visiting the four seas, caring for the people's livelihood, facing the king's right, he is fearless, and he said: "The emperor is not benevolent, not the four seas: the princes are not benevolent, do not protect the community: the doctor is not benevolent, does not protect the ancestral temple: the gentry is not benevolent, not Protect the four bodies." In the age of the king's supremacy, he still could not shake his mind. In the face of the high temptation, the courage of life and death, he still maintains his heart. It is his pleasure to be happy with people, not alone.

He, like the sea, thinks. He always believes that "the beginning of man, the nature is good" is also the goodness of human nature, and the water is also the next, people are all good, water is nothing. In the face of misbehavior, he used the good to influence, facing the incompetence, he bluntly invited the "Kings are good, the world is invincible." He advocates benevolent government, and the benevolent invincible is his people-oriented thinking.

He, an ordinary scholar, has become a sage in the eyes of the people: he, an ordinary people, but ignores the temptation of money fame and fortune: he, an ordinary people, is born in the hard road of bluntness on.

He, an ordinary person, but above each of us, he has the same general mind, the same light. He looked at the heavens and saw the red dust. What he did was to keep his heart.
