Mencius (372-289 BC) was a native of Shandong and Korea during the Warring States Period. Name, word Yu Zi, word car, word viscount. My father is excited and my mother is Zou. Mencius' distant ancestor was Shi, an aristocrat of Lu, who moved from Lu to Zou. Mencius lost his father at the age of three, and Meng Mu raised him with great pains. Meng Mu has a tight grip on him. His stories, such as Meng Mu's Three Movements and Meng Mu's Broken Weave, have become timeless stories, which are models of maternal education in later generations. Born in the fourth year of the reign of Zhou, he died in the twenty-sixth year. He was a great thinker and educator in ancient China. One of the representatives of Confucianism in the Warring States period. He is the author of Mencius, which belongs to a collection of recorded prose. Mencius is a compilation of Mencius' speeches, written by Mencius and his disciples, which recorded Mencius' language, political opinions (benevolent politics, fraternity, non-aggression, advocating peace and opposing war) and political actions. Mencius studied under Kong Ji (Confucius' grandson is usually a student who studied under Kong Ji), inherited and developed Confucius' thoughts, and became a Confucian master second only to Confucius, known as "the sage of Asia" and also known as "Confucius and Mencius" with Confucius. Mencius once imitated Confucius and led his disciples to lobby countries. But it was not accepted by all countries at that time. He retired and wrote books with his disciples. Mencius has been handed down from generation to generation in seven chapters: Liang Wanghui; "Gongsun Ugly" up and down; "Teng Wengong" up and down; Li Lou; "Zhang Wan" up and down; "Gao Zi" goes up and down; Heart and soul. His theoretical starting point is the theory of good nature, which puts forward "benevolent governance" and "kingly governance" and advocates rule by virtue. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu called Mencius, The Analects of Confucius, Daxue and The Doctrine of the Mean the Four Books. From then until the end of Qing Dynasty, "Four Books" had been a compulsory part of the imperial examination. Mencius' article is eloquent, magnificent and good at argumentation. Mencius put forward the theory of good nature. Concern is the goodness of human nature, not the goodness of human nature.

Mencius is one of the most important representatives of Confucianism, but his position before the Song Dynasty was not very high. Since Han Yu wrote The Original Road in the mid-Tang Dynasty and listed Mencius as the only figure in pre-Qin Confucianism who inherited Confucian orthodoxy, there has been an "upgrading movement" of Mencius, and the status of Mencius and his works has gradually risen. Song Shenzong Xining four years (107 1), Mencius was included in the imperial examination for the first time. In the sixth year of Yuanfeng (1083), Mencius was officially named "Zou Guogong" for the first time, and he was allowed to enjoy the Confucius Temple the following year. Later, Mencius was promoted to a Confucian classic. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu combined Mencius with The Analects of Confucius, Daxue and The Doctrine of the Mean into four books, and their actual status was even higher than that of the Five Classics. From the Yuan Dynasty to the first year of Shun Dynasty (1330), Mencius was named "Asian Saint" and later called "Asian Saint", ranking second only to Confucius. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang edited the Mencius Festival, and deleted the chapters and sentences in Mencius, such as "People are the most important, the country is the second, and the monarch is the least", and "A thief is called a husband, and it is unheard of to kill a gentleman".
