Mencius said, "The people are the most important, the country is the second, and the monarch is the least. Therefore, Qiu Min is the son of heaven, the son of heaven is the vassal, and the vassal is the doctor. When a vassal is in danger, it will be changed. Sacrifice is accomplished, prosperity is clean, and sacrifice is timely. However, drought and water overflow will change the country. "

this passage in Mencius with all my heart is the most typical and clear embodiment of Mencius' people-oriented thought. "People value the monarch" has become a famous saying widely circulated in later generations and has been quoted by people.
