Who is Mencius? Mencius, whose name was Ke, was born in Zou during the Warring States Period. He is a famous politician, thinker, educator and essayist, and one of the most representative figures of Confucianism. Mencius was a disciple of the grandson of Confucius, Chenao. He lost his father in his early years and lived alone with his mother. Because he and Confucius were both masters of Confucianism, later generations called Mencius and Confucius Confucius Confucius, and because he came from a swashbuckling Confucius school, he was compared with Meng Si's Confucius school.

Mencius advocated benevolent politics in politics. Like Confucius, he traveled around the world and put forward the people-oriented thought of valuing the people and despising the monarch. Theoretically, he opposed Mozi and Taoism and praised Confucius. But in the end, his political thoughts were not adopted by the kings of other countries at that time. They think that his thoughts are more profound and broader than things. After failing to realize his political ideal and ambition, Mencius returned to his hometown, wrote a book, made a preface to poems and books, and wrote seven pieces of Mencius.

According to textual research, Mencius was born in the fourth year of the reign of Zhou Dynasty and died in the twenty-sixth year. According to biographies of women and other books, Mencius taught in Confucius' grandson Kong Chang. In fact, when Mencius was born, Kong Chengya had been dead for more than 30 years. It is impossible for Kong Chang to educate him directly. It is most likely that Kong Che learned from him. But in any case, Mencius was deeply influenced by Confucius' boasting thought all his life.

Mencius' book Mencius is one of the four books and five classics, and it is also the largest one among these Confucian classics, with about 35 thousand words. Mencius, a book with seven chapters and fourteen volumes, has a far-reaching influence on later generations, and is even one of the compulsory contents of the imperial examinations in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

What school is Mencius? Mencius is a student of Zi Si, the second disciple of Confucius. He is called Yasheng, and he is the second most intelligent thinker, educator, philosopher and writer after Confucius. For thousands of years, Mencius' thought has deeply influenced the way of thinking of China people.

Mencius inherited and carried forward Confucius' theory of benevolence and benevolent governance, and made further development on this basis. Confucius' theory is often just an empty and vague generalization, without expounding the essence of his thought. Mencius promoted the realm and depth of Confucianism to a higher level through his own research, and Mencius was very good at telling stories and writing sharply to explain it. The Analects of Confucius is just a dialogue between Confucius and his disciples, and it is very difficult to understand its essence. However, in Mencius, Mencius used a lot of stories and fables, as well as rhetorical devices such as parallelism and metaphor, which played a key role in the spread of Confucianism. Therefore, it is reasonable for future generations to regard Mencius as one of the Confucian classics that must be read in future generations.

Baby Mencius thinks he is the most authentic Confucian scholar, because he not only promotes Confucianism, but also worships Confucius very much. He even followed the example of Confucius and traveled around the world, constantly striving to realize his ideals and ambitions, and finally ended up like Confucius, all unhappy. Because of this, he is often called the way of Confucius and Mencius, and Confucianism is also called the way of Confucius and Mencius.
