    One of the important reasons is that his core category is "righteousness".As mentioned earlier, righteousness is critical, negative and militant. It is not easy to criticize, deny and fight. For example, "great justice to kil relatives" and "sacrifice life for justice", is it easy?This must be supported by spirit, and this spirit must be able to translate into material power.In Mencius, then, is there such spiritual power that can be transformed into material power? I do

    Reading Mencius, we can often see this situation where the other person is "choking". Therefore, many people do not like Mencius, thinking that he is too aggressive and too publicizing. In fact, Mencius was so aggressive, not entirely due to personality. One of the important reasons is that his core category is "righteousness". As mentioned earlier, righteousness is critical, negative and militant. It is not easy to criticize, deny and fight. For example, "great justice to kill relatives" and "sacrifice life for justice", is it easy? This must be supported by spirit, and this spirit must be able to translate into material power. In Mencius, then, is there such spiritual power that can be transformed into material power? I do. It is "Qi", also called "noble Qi".

    ​Mencius believed that these qualities were not fixed but could be cultivated through education, reflection, and effort. He emphasized the importance of nurturing these virtues in oneself and in others as a means of creating a better society.

    Mencius knew that King Xuan of Qi seemed to ask himself with interest: "If there are few people. Can you protect thepeople?" However, his real purpose is to "rule the world", and there is no action or even idea to "protect the people".However, in order to keep the conversation going and achieve his lobbying purpose,Mencius made a big deal out of King Xuan's saying that "I can't bear to be touched by his boss".To say that this kind of "unbearable heart" is a manifestation of benevolence is undoubtedly to sing praises to King Xuan of Qi, so it easily won the favor of the other party and greatly shortened the ideological distance betweeneach other.King Xuan of Qi was still laughingat himself because things were not honorable.After Mencius explained this, of course, he couldn't help praising him and roaordod Mancius as a confidant.

    Mencius' exposition of "Great Man" is full of noble ideals, firm beliefs, and noble personality. He emphasized that a great man should "occupy the vast territory of the world, establish the right position of the world, and walk the great path of the world.". This means that the eldest husband should be in the most noble position and promote the path of benevolence and righteousness. Mencius further explained that when one achieves success, a great man should move forward with the people and benefit them; When not achieving success, we must also stick to our own path, not be swayed by wealth, fame, and fortune, not change due to poverty and lowliness, and not be afraid of any violence or power. This spirit of "wealth and status cannot be debauched, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, and majesty cannot be surrendered" is the core quality of a great man.
