Human relations in Ming Dynasty is the purpose of school education put forward by Mencius. The so-called "human relations in the Ming Dynasty" means that "father and son are close, the monarch and the minister are righteous, the couple are different, the young and the old are orderly, and the friends have faith". Later generations are also called "five virtues".

Five relations refer to the five relations and the code of words and deeds in ancient China, that is, the so-called five relations between monarch and minister, father and son, brother, husband and wife and friends.

Mencius

Mingke, born in Zouguo (now southeast of Zoucheng, Shandong Province), was born in 372 BC-289 BC. Philosophers, thinkers, politicians 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 first put forward the idea that "the people are more important than the monarch", which was listed by Han Yu as a figure who inherited Confucius' "orthodoxy" in pre-Qin Confucianism and was named "Ya Sheng" in 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 I can't get rich and debauched.
