Mencius said, "No one can bear it. The former king has a heart to bear, and Sri Lanka has a government to bear others. With an unbearable heart, we can't stand the politics of others and rule the palm of the world. " Obviously, this "policy of forbearing others" is "benevolent government". Benevolent politics is the result of externalization of "unbearable heart" If the king's "unbearable heart" is enlarged and applied to the whole society, this "unbearable heart" will become "benevolent politics" I. Mencius' Thought of Benevolence (I) Mencius' Thought of Benevolence attaches importance to people-oriented Mencius _: "Those who gain the world, those who lose the people, lose the world; If there is no world, then the people will have the world. " This sentence is called "protecting the people as kings". But how can we win the support of the people? Mencius believes that the key is to win the hearts of the people. He said: "If the people know the Tao, they will win the hearts of the people." This is what later generations call "the world of human heart." At the same time, Mencius also pointed out from the perspective of sympathizing with the lower class and criticizing the social reality at that time: "He who loses the world loses the people." If you lose the people, you lose your heart. There is a saying in the world: whoever gets you gets the whole world; There is a way to win the people: win their hearts and win the people; There is a way to get the heart: use it to gather what you want, and if you don't do evil, you will. When the people died, the water went down and the beast left. "In other words, popular support is the foundation of political power and social stability. Therefore, Mencius put forward: "The people are the most important, the country is the second, and the monarch is the light. So, it is because Qiu Min is the son of heaven, the son of heaven is a vassal, and the vassal is a doctor. When the princes are in danger, the country changes. Sacrifice is complete, prosperous and clean, and sacrifice is timely. However, drought and water overflow will change the country. "Mencius' people' here refers to ordinary people who are not in official positions compared with those in power all over the world. Mencius was able to put forward the slogan of "the people value the monarch" from the standpoint of "the villain" in an era when the traditional concept of the supremacy of the monarch was deeply rooted, which is bound to be progressive. Mencius also pointed out that we should have fun with the people. He said: "It is wrong to serve the people without playing with them. Those who enjoy the people, the people enjoy themselves; Those who worry about the people worry about the people, and the people also worry about the people; Joy in the world, worry in the world, but not the king, nothing. "Mencius' demand that the monarch and the people have fun together is actually a restriction on the decadent life of the monarch, thus alleviating the increasingly sharp class contradictions.
