Mencius lived in the mid-Warring States period when the annexation war was fierce, and advocated "benevolent government" to unify the world. He once traveled to Wei, Qi and other vassal states, but it was useless. After he retired, he wrote books with his disciples Zhang Wan and Gong Sunchou. There is a book "Mencius" (7 existing books) handed down from generation to generation. Mencius was good at reasoning with metaphors. The articles in the book are magnificent, rigorous, infectious and persuasive, which have a great influence on the development of prose later.
