works appreciation
A great man has a broad mind, "the prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach." And childlike innocence is real and natural.
The prime minister can punt in his stomach because he doesn't care about every opinion, but he can preserve the true colors of nature and always face the world with the novelty and innocence of a childlike heart, making himself full of energy, omniscient and omnipotent. The key here is actually two points: one is innocence, and the other is generosity. It is on these two points that we can find the similarities between truly great people and childlike innocence.
Laozi said, "Changde never leaves, but belongs to the baby." (Chapter 28 of Lao Zi)
He also said, "everyone is bustling, if they enjoy too many prisons, like coming to power in spring, and I am lonely, like an unborn child of a baby." (Chapter 20 of Laozi) Looking at the crowd, it seems that they are going for a sumptuous banquet, and it seems that they are going to take the stage to look at the spring. Only I am cold and indifferent, just like the baby who doesn't know how to laugh.
Laozi's original intention is to advocate returning to simplicity and being indifferent and peaceful. However, indifferent ambitions are quiet and far away. This is similar to Mencius' thought.
To sum up, a truly great man is not as complicated as we petty people think, so he can keep a childlike innocence, and sometimes he will show it, just like a person with a childlike innocence.
Brief introduction of the author
Mencius (about 372 BC-289 BC) was born in Zouguo (now southeast of Zoucheng City, Shandong Province). Philosophers, thinkers and educators in the Warring States period are the representatives of Confucianism after Confucius and before Xunzi, and they are also called "Confucius and Mencius" with Confucius.
Mencius advocated "benevolent government" and put forward the idea that "the people are more important than the monarch" for the first time. He was listed as a figure who inherited the Confucian orthodoxy in the pre-Qin period by Han Yu, and was posthumously named "Ya Sheng" in the Yuan Dynasty.
Mencius' speech works are included in the book Mencius. Among them, I want what I want, I get more help from the Tao, and I get less help from the Tao. I am also in China, born in sorrow and died in happiness, and so on. Be incorporated into Chinese textbooks for primary and secondary schools.

Story During the Warring States Period, Mencius and Qi Xuanwang talked about the relationship between monarch and minister, not the attitude that ordinary and upright people should have. Mencius said: It is not surprising that an adult is a wise man. What is commendable is that he has never lost his childhood sincerity, and he is as simple, sincere and enthusiastic as a child.
