    Mencius speaks highly of "Great Man" and gives it an important position in the Confucian moral system. He believes that "Great Man" is a person who has achieved a high level of moral cultivation and possesses virtues such as righteousness, courtesy, loyalty, and honesty. Mencius emphasizes that the "Great Man" should be someone who strives to pursue moral perfection, not just in words but also in deeds. He emphasizes the importance of inner qualities and moral character, arguing that true greatness comes from within and is manifested in one's actions and behavior.

    Mencius once said, "Therefore, when heaven will bestow great responsibilities on a person, one must first work hard on their heart and mind, strain their muscles and bones, starve their body and skin, empty their body, and disrupt their actions. Therefore, they must be patient and have benefited what they cannot." Mencius believed that in a person's life, if they want to achieve a career, they must go through a baptism. Only when you have gone through and passed this test will you have a moving mission and responsibility entrusted to you. A person's life is a practice, and everything we encounter is a test for you. If we cannot pass these tests, life will inevitably encounter great obstacles, and even life will come to an end.

    Mencius believed that a real man should have a firm belief and noble character, and not be tempted or oppressed by the external environment to change his position and principles. In the face of wealth, he will not be too infatuated with material comforts; In the midst of poverty, he will not easily change his ambition; Under power, he will not yield to pressure and violate his conscience.

    The "Great Man" should have the lofty ambition of doing justice to the world, and always adhere to morality, standing upright, and not affected by external things.

    Mencius believed that a “Great Man” is someone who embodies the Confucian virtues of wisdom, integrity, and benevolence. Such a person uses their moral qualities to inspire and lead others, and they are committed to acting in accordance with the principles of righteousness and social harmony. A Great Man is not swayed by material wealth or power, but instead, they focus on cultivating their inner virtue and contributing to the well-being of society.

    2.Living in the broad residence under heaven, staying in the proper place under heaven, one should observe the essential Dao under heaven. When having achieved one's ambitions, one should practice Dao along with the people; when failing to succeed in one's ambitions, one should observe Dao alone. Neither riches nor honors can corrupt him; neither poverty nor humbleness can make him swerve from his principles; neither threat nor force can subdue him. Such a person can be called a great man.(Mencius)
