Mencius put forward the idea of "having fun with the people": "Folk music is folk music; People have their worries, and people have their worries. Happiness is in the world, worry is in the world, not the king, nothing. " This is another important ideological connotation of Mencius' theory of "benevolent government" "Enjoy with the people" means that a king should share his happiness with the people. "On Liang Pian" says: "The ancients enjoyed themselves with the people, so they could enjoy themselves." Tang Shi "Day:' Time is a disaster, and women die together." People want to die with them, although there are birds and beasts in the pool, why enjoy themselves? Mencius pointed out that rulers should share weal and woe with the people and show compassion for them by comparing the sages and tyrants in history. If the ruler bases his enjoyment on the sufferings of the people, this enjoyment is not only difficult to last, but also has no happiness. Mencius' thought of "having fun with the people" has far-reaching influence in history. "It has become the criterion for enlightened monarchs to adjust the relationship between state rule and people, and it has also become an ideological weapon for people of insight to crack down on tyrants and corrupt officials to restrict autocratic rule and ease class contradictions, and has played an important role in regulating feudal autocracy." It can be seen that "having fun with the people" can alleviate the contradiction between the ruling class and the people in feudal society and play an important role in maintaining social stability.
