Write an argumentative essay on the topic of a famous saying of Mencius or Confucius.
Mencius said: "Good governance is like good education to win the people. Good governance and people fear it; Teach people well and love them. Good governance gains people's wealth, and good teaching wins people's hearts. " It can be seen that the education of the people is far greater than its political importance. Secondly, to start a school, he thinks: "Set it as an itch order school to teach it. Those who itch, raise also; School, teaching also; Order, shoot also. " ("Mencius with all his heart"). Mencius believed that through education, people can understand that respect for elders is orderly. "Father and son are close, the monarch and the minister are righteous, the couple are different, the young and the old are orderly, and friends are trustworthy." (Mencius on Teng Wengong) However, Mencius believes that the ultimate goal of education is to win the hearts of the people and become a king. Mencius' thought of benevolent governance did not fully meet the requirements of society at that time, but it had its limitations and negative side. Mencius' thought system of benevolent governance is from monarch to people and from top to bottom, and its strict feudal system must be reformed, and we should also affirm Mencius' pursuit of benevolent governance. Mencius' theory of benevolent governance serves the feudal ruling class, but its purpose is to ease the increasingly sharp class contradictions and consolidate the political rule of the feudal ruling class. However, we should also see its progress. At that time, Mencius was able to put forward the people-oriented thought, which had great positive significance. Looking back today, in the process of building socialism with China characteristics, benevolent government has been crowned with a new source of contemporary significance: cultural and educational materials.
