What influence did Mencius have on national culture?
Mencius clearly saw that the development and change of everything has its own process. He told a story in the book as a metaphor: people who would rather die before the seedlings grow come home and say, "I am sick today!" " Help Miao Miao! "My son rushed to see that Miao was dying. The world can't help the Miao and the old! Those who give up because they feel useless don't raise seedlings. Those who help the elderly germinate are not only useless, but also harmful. ("Gong Sun Chou"))

To understand the world is to transform it. The most important thing is to master objective laws. Mencius used Xia to control water, and according to the law that the water potential drops, it can guide Fukashi, which shows that it is necessary for people to know the world and transform it.

Mencius inherited and developed this affirmation, that is, when carrying out education, we must adopt various methods that vary from person to person. "Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" in Confucius' educational methods. But Confucius' "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" developed. People think that the education of students must have certain standards, so that students have clear goals. The learning methods and educational methods advocated by Mencius are the crystallization of ancient pedagogy in China, which still have certain reference value for our study and education today.
