Mencius' thought of "caring for people and loving things" aims to make people have enough food to live and enough cotton, linen and cloth to keep warm. Mencius said: "Fifty silks are not warm, and seventy are not full of meat", "People can't live without fire and water" [2] (with all their heart), "When the grain is ripe, the people will be educated" [2] (on Teng Wengong), "If you are a giant room, you will make the workers ask for big trees" [2] (under Liang Huiwang), "Seven years of illness will require three years of love." "A hundred acres of land, a man plows it, and a family of eight is enough to have no hunger" [2] (with all his heart), Mencius introduced "benevolence" into the protection of the environment, so that everyone can personally feel the immediate benefits of protecting the environment and maintaining a harmonious relationship between things and me. Moreover, Mencius also said: "kindness is enough for animals" 1. "A gentleman is also for animals, seeing his life, he can't bear to see his death; I can't bear to eat its meat when I hear its voice. It is also a gentleman who cooks far away. " [2] (Liang Huiwang) Treating people with kindness and "pushing kindness and things" will make each of us become a noble and respected "gentleman", and at the same time, let us eat enough and keep warm. Why not protect the environment? Mencius' thought of "caring for people and loving things" greatly improved people's initiative and consciousness of protecting the environment and respecting nature. This has greatly promoted the environmental awareness of contemporary people. Source: Daguan Weekly
