the poor can't move, and the mighty can't bend. From Mencius Teng Wengong, thinking means that when you are rich, you can control yourself without squandering; Don't change your will when you are poor; You can't change your attitude under the influence of power. That's the real man.
Mencius mentioned these three famous sentences when he talked with Jing Chun, a disciple of the strategists. In Mencius' view, the real "gentleman" should not be based on the level of power, but can stabilize the "moral anchor" in his heart. In the face of different life situations such as wealth, poverty and power, he can adhere to the principle of "benevolence, righteousness and courtesy" and advance and retreat with Tao.
every sentence of Mencius' famous saying about "a gentleman" shines with the power of thought and personality. In history, it has encouraged many people with lofty ideals and benevolence to become their motto of not being afraid of violence and upholding justice. Until now, when we read this book, it seems that we can still hear his golden voice.
