  Mencius, a Chinese philosopher, said that a "Great Man" (大人) is someone who is in harmony with the Dao (道), the fundamental principle of the universe. He believed that a Great Man is compassionate, wise, and just, and has the ability to inspire others to be virtuous. Mencius also believed that a Great Man has a natural moral authority, and that they are born with the ability to lead others to a higher moral standard.
