Mozi particularly emphasized the exercise of moral behavior. He said: "Although a scholar is learned, his behavior is intrinsic" and asked his students to establish the spirit of hard work.

He attaches great importance to the exercise of will and thinks that "the will is not strong enough to reach wisdom". Will is not only an important moral quality, but also has a direct impact on knowledge and ability. Without the will tempered in hard practice, there is no human intelligence.

Mencius (about 372 BC-289 BC), whose name is unknown (Yu Zi, Zi Ju, etc.). They all came from fake books or were invented for later generations. They were from Zou, a native of Lu (now Zoucheng, Shandong) in the middle of the Warring States Period, not far from Qufu, the hometown of Confucius. He is a famous thinker, politician, educator, the successor of Confucius' theory and an important representative of Confucianism.

According to legend, Mencius is a descendant of Lu nobles. He lost his father when he was young and his family was poor. He was once a disciple of Zisi (Kong Ji, the grandson of Confucius).

After finishing his studies, he lobbied the governors as scholars in an attempt to promote his own political views, and successively went to Liang (Wei), Qi, Song, Teng and Lu. At that time, several great powers devoted themselves to Qiang Bing, a rich country, and strived to achieve reunification by force. He inherited Confucius' thought of benevolence and developed it into the thought of benevolent government, which was called "elegance and sage".
