    Mencius had a specific view on the concept of a "Great Man" . He believed that a true "Great Man" should possess four cardinal virtues: benevolence , righteousness, propriety , and wisdom . These virtues are collectively known as "the Four Sprouts of the Human Heart-Mind" and are innate in all human beings. According to Mencius, a "Great Man" should nurture and develop these four virtues, leading by example and inspiring others to follow the path of moral rectitude. The "Great Man" should be a paragon of virtue, embodying the highest ideals of human conduct and serving as a guiding light for society. In summary, Mencius' concept of a "Great Man" revolves around the cultivation and embodiment of the four cardinal virtues, with the ultimate aim of bringing peace and harmony to society.
