The people-centered thought represented by Mencius is the most progressive and eternal theme in traditional Chinese political culture. Mencius' people-centered thought is based on the philosophy of "theory of good nature", and puts forward basic concepts such as "the people are valued more than the monarch", "the people's property is controlled", "the tax is thin and the tax is low", and "the monarch promotes the virtuous". Mencius' people-centered thought shows us the original ideological form of modern democracy and provides us with ideas for exploring democratic politics. Absorbing the essence of positive and beneficial thoughts and combining it with the national conditions of our modern society will have profound enlightenment for us. A fundamental feature of people-oriented thinking is respect for the so-called public opinion. That is to say, "God listens to the people, and God sees to the people." However, in reality, the so-called people can only become the best excuse to rape public opinion. Mencius' people-centered thought may be China's earliest advocate of democratic eight-centralism. In this way, he proposed to act on behalf of public opinion and act according to public opinion. When King Hui of Liang asked Mencius how to identify people with true talents and learning, Mencius had this to say: "When a king promotes talents, if he has no choice, he will make the humble more respected and the more distant than the relatives. Is it careless? Everyone on the left and right said: Xian is not possible. All the officials say Xian is not possible. People in the country say Xian, and then they see the virtuous, and then use them. All the officials say No, don't listen. The people of the country all say it is not possible, and then they look at it and see that it is not possible, and then they go away. , and then kill them. Therefore, the people of the country kill them. Then they can become the parents of the people." ("Mencius. Chapter 2 of King Hui of Liang") The term "parent officials" that has been popular in our country probably came from this. Here Mencius gave three examples: the basis for judging usable, unkillable, and killable is "countrymen", and "countrymen" here are probably the common people that Mencius often mentioned. This indeed reflects the value orientation of complying with public opinion. However, how could a monarch, hiding in the palace compound, know what the "people of the country" said? Even if we go out of the palace to investigate, I am afraid it will not be easy to get the real information. Local officials can also play political tricks and create false information to fool the monarch. Therefore, it is really funny for the king to "check it out". Analyze it carefully. I am afraid that all these beautiful words of Mencius will come to nothing. In the later two thousand years of Confucian practice, it actually only became a superficial appearance, with a little bit of beautiful veneer of "law, technique, and momentum." The best way to solve this problem of "Chinese people" is probably the only way to go, which is to organize and let "Chinese people" vote. Each citizen represents himself and casts one vote. Let the wise man come out and promote himself. Make people familiar with him. If everyone approves of him, then he can take office. If something serious and harmful happens during the process, he can be impeached and removed from office midway. If you break the law, you can be punished.
