    It includes not only those who have high moral character and lofty realm, but also those who know the way of heaven and man and have superior wisdom, and it is also a kind of benevolent personality. They represent the spiritual pursuit of mankind and leave a valuable moral legacy for future generations.

    Mencius' discourse on "great men" is: "Wealth and status cannot be debauched, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, and power cannot be surrendered. This is what is called a great man." The meaning of this sentence is that a true great man will not lose his principles due to the temptation of wealth, will not change his aspirations due to the oppression of poverty, and will not yield to the threat of power. He always maintains his independence and dignity, and upholds his beliefs and moral bottom line. This kind of quality and spirit is a model of the "great man" advocated by Mencius.
