Write an argumentative essay on the topic of a famous saying of Mencius.
"Sages are like people." Mencius' statement is intended to show that saints and civilians are the same kind, and slave owners, nobles and slaves are of course the same kind. Therefore, the reasonable society in Mencius' mind should be in line with the principle of the people and ensure people's life and production. Mencius said that "the people are the most important, the country is the second, and the monarch is the light." ("with all my heart". The important role of the people lies in the "people". Therefore, the main purpose of Mencius' view of "good human nature" is how to implement "benevolent government" Mencius explained "benevolence" and said: "People are also benevolent." In other words, benevolence is a virtue that a person must possess. Mencius put forward his thought of "benevolent government" and attaching importance to the people from the viewpoint of good nature. "The first king has a heart that cannot bear others, and he has a policy that cannot bear others. With the unbearable heart, we can't bear the politics of others and rule the palm of the world. " (On the Ugliness of the Sun) He has mentioned in his thought of benevolent government that the opposition of the people is the decisive factor for the rise and fall of a country. People-oriented thought is the core political value of China in ancient times. Mencius believed that we should be benevolent and people-oriented. In Mencius' theory of human nature, the emphasis on people is most obviously reflected. In the era when Mencius lived from slavery to feudalism, people could not be "real people". In the early ideological circle, Confucius began to put forward the views of "benevolence" and "wisdom" He also attributed benevolence to "love". Put wisdom down to "knowing people". He believes that we should attach importance to the problem of "people" in doing anything and studying any knowledge. Mencius inherited Confucius' thought of attaching importance to human beings, but changed Confucius' ambiguous thought on the issue of human nature, and put forward the argument that human nature is good directly.
