  Mencius believes that to become a first-rate great man, one must possess a lofty ambition. He states that the difference between ordinary people and great men lies in their aspirations. Ordinary people tend to pursue wealth, fame, material gains, and personal pleasures, while great men aim for higher ideals that can transform the world and create history.

  Mencius stresses that a great man should have high aspirations to carry out Dao, adhere to moral integrity, stay upright, and his observation of Dao should not be influenced by external matters (as opposed to his inner world).

  Mencius, a renowned Chinese philosopher and one of the key proponents of Confucianism, believed in the innate goodness of human nature. While he did not explicitly discuss the concept of a "Great Man" in his teachings, his philosophy does touch upon the idea of moral cultivation and the potential for individuals to become exemplary leaders.

  Mencius said, "Wealth and status cannot corrupt him, poverty and lowliness cannot change him, power and might cannot bend him. This is what is meant by a great man." This passage means that a true great man, faced with wealth and status, does not become indulgent; faced with poverty and lowliness, he does not alter his principles; and faced with power and might, he does not submit. The "great man" referred to here by Mencius is a person with firm moral beliefs and qualities who, no matter what the environment, remains steadfast in his commitment to righteousness and maintains his inner dignity. It is important to note that the concept of the "great man" in Mencius is different from the traditional notion of a "hero" or "great person." It emphasizes moral quality rather than external achievements or status. Mencius believed that only a person with such qualities could shoulder the responsibility of governing and benefiting the people, becoming the pillar of society.

  The concept of the “great man” or “heroic figure” is indeed present in the “Zuo’s Commentary on The Spring and Autumn Annals” (Zuo Zhuan). While the text does not explicitly define a set of principles regarding great men, it does offer insights into the qualities and roles of influential individuals in history.

  So a great man should be earnest rather than superficial, be simple rather than ostentatious. Such a person abandons everything superficial or ostentatious, and leads a simple and honest life
