    Mencius believed that anyone could become a "Great Man" by cultivating moral character and practicing benevolent governance. Great Men possess qualities such as benevolence (concern for others), righteousness (doing what is morally right), propriety (following social rituals), and wisdom (insight and good judgment). Through education, self-reflection, and practice, individuals can develop these virtues and become positive influencers in society.

    Mencius' description of a "great man" is reflected in his teachings. According to Mencius, a great man should have the following qualities:

    Wealth cannot be abused. This means that even in the face of prosperity and wealth, the great man can remain sober, not be confused, and stick to his principles and ideals. 

    Poverty cannot be moved. Even in the situation of poverty and lowliness, the great man can stick to his ambition and moral standards, and does not change his original intention and pursuit.

    Power cannot be defeated. In the face of the threat of force or power oppression, a man will not give in, but will uphold justice and defend his faith and dignity.

    Mencius believes that "Great Man" is a term used to describe someone of ideal moral quality. According to Mencius, the ability to be called a "Great Man" is not determined by one's achievements or accomplishments. Instead, the fundamental criterion lies in one's cognition and adherence to "Dao" , the moral and ethical principles of life.

    As a Mencius's discussion on the "Great Man" would likely focus on his perspectives about the traits, role, and impact of significant representative of Confucian thought, Mencius emphasizes the importance of inner virtue and moral cultivation. He believed that a great man should possess noble moral character. Mencius promotes the core values of Confucianism, such as "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom," seeing these as the foundation for greatness. He also highlights a sense of social responsibility and mission, arguing that great individuals should be able to contribute to society and people, taking on the responsibility of promoting social progress and development.

     Mencius, a prominent Confucian philosopher, believed that a "Great Man" (da ren) is someone who possesses the 

    virtues of benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, and strength. According to Mencius, a Great Man is not simply 

    someone who is powerful or wealthy, but rather someone who embodies the highest ethical standards and is able to

     lead others towards virtue and morality.

    Mencius emphasized the importance of the Great Man in society, as they are the ones who can guide and inspire 

    others towards a better future. He believed that a Great Man's benevolence and righteousness would lead to social 

    harmony and justice, while their wisdom and strength would enable them to overcome challenges and achieve greatness.

    Mencius also emphasized the role of education in developing a Great Man. He believed that through proper education and

    training, individuals could cultivate the virtues necessary to become a Great Man and contribute positively to society.

    Overall, Mencius' concept of the Great Man reflects his commitment to the values of Confucianism and his belief in the 

    importance of ethical leadership and morality in society.

    ​Rites indicate a lack of loyalty and sincerity, and portend disorder. Preset norms are ostentatious representations of Da and usher in stupidity. 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.

    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)
