Source: Mencius Disciple Record [Pre-Qin] "I am in the country"

Original: a hundred acres of land, if you don't hurry, a family of several can be hungry; I sincerely hope that the godson of the cult will be filial, and the winners will not be on the road.

Don't delay the farming season for a hundred acres of land, so that a few people in the family can avoid hunger. Carefully set up school education, repeatedly tell the people the truth of respecting the old and loving the young, so that this gray-haired old man will no longer walk on the road with heavy objects on his head.

Introduction to the work:

There is also a chapter on My Country in Mencius Hui Liang Wang Shang, which is one of the articles that show Mencius' thought of "benevolent government". This paper discusses how to implement "benevolent government" and unify the world with "kingly way".

The thoughts and opinions expressed by Mencius in the article.

1. Mencius opposed the endless war between princes, and the sentence "Wang is belligerent, please use the metaphor of war" fully revealed this idea.

Second, Mencius believed that people should benefit from it and have the opportunity to recuperate. He believes that Liang's "intention" to the people is far from enough. This is just the difference between "100 steps" and "50 steps" and other countries' dissatisfaction with collecting money from the people.

Thirdly, Mencius showed Liang his ideal of governing the people, specifically, to let the people have a house of five acres, a field of one hundred acres and a dolphin of chickens and dogs. Moreover, Mencius attached great importance to enlightenment and put forward the idea of "keeping order". His highest ideal is that CoCo Lee "eats meat with clothes and silk" and "is neither hungry nor cold".

On the basis of his own argument, Mencius further pointed out that Liang, as the supreme ruler, had an unshirkable responsibility in the face of the social reality that the upper class was extravagant and the people were hungry and cold.
