Introduction of Mencius:

Mencius (372 BC-289 BC), Ji surname, Meng surname, Ke, Zi (to be tested, Zi Zi Ju), and Confucius were also called Confucius and Lu Guo Zou (now Zoucheng, Shandong). One of the representatives of Confucianism in the Warring States Period, an ancient thinker, philosopher, politician and educator in China.

Mencius' father died young and lived with his mother. In order to create a good growth environment for him, Meng Mu moved three times, which became a fascinating story. Mencius began to "travel around the world" after he finished his studies, and spent his whole life lobbying governors, but he failed to see the usefulness of Liang, Song, Teng and Lu.

In his later years, Mencius returned to his hometown, where he preached and taught, wrote down his thoughts and made his own remarks with his disciples, and finally achieved Mencius. He died in Zhou Nanwang in 26 years (289 years ago).

Mencius' thoughts and theories had a profound and great influence on China after the Tang and Song Dynasties. The philosophical speculation and ethical enlightenment of many propositions still have a subtle influence on China and even East Asia. Mencius' position is second only to that of Confucius, and it also has a far-reaching influence on the inheritance and development of Confucianism.

The book Mencius, though only seven articles with more than 34,000 words, has already become a part of the world cultural heritage. Mencius not only developed Confucius' thoughts in philosophical theory, but also established a political and ideological system based on "people-oriented".

In the process of confrontation and integration of Confucianism and Buddhism, Mencius' influence is particularly important. Mencius emphasized "rights" rather than ethical principles. In the middle Tang Dynasty, Han Yu wrote The Original Tao, and regarded Mencius as the only Confucian figure who inherited Confucius' "orthodoxy" before the Tang Dynasty. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu combined Mencius, The Analects of Confucius, Daxue and The Doctrine of the Mean into four books, making them one of the basic Confucian classics.
