用户721240is a term used to describe someone of ideal moral quality. How much one achieves does not determine whether he can be called a great man. The criterion is whether or not a person can know and hold fast to Dao. Given that there are different interpretations of Dao, the specific requirements for a great man are also different. 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). Yet, another ancient Chinese philosopher Laozi believes that a great man should abandon ostentatious rites and norms, and return to the natural state through non-action.

殷新利Mencius believes that when it is to give someone a great responsibility that day, it will first make the person's heart experience hardship, make his muscles and bones suffer from fatigue, make his body suffer from hunger, make his life poor, and disrupt what he does. All this is to exercise his mind, stabilise his personality, and develop the abilities he did not have before. The person in charge must have a firm will and perseverance, be able to face all kinds of difficulties and challenges, and not flinch or give up. Great people need to have extensive knowledge and deep insight, be able to accurately judge the situation and make wise decisions. People in charge should also have noble moral sentiments and qualities, such as benevolence, loyalty, faith.

王泽When Mencius speaks of "Great Man," he emphasizes several key aspects. Firstly, he believes that a Great Man is destined by Heaven to bear great responsibilities. Secondly, before such responsibilities are entrusted, Heaven tests the individual through hardships, such as suffering, toil, hunger, and poverty. These trials are meant to strengthen the individual's will, temper their character, and develop their weaknesses. Finally, Mencius argues that a Great Man, through perseverance and self-cultivation, is able to rise above these challenges and fulfill their divine mandate. In summary, Mencius views a Great Man as one who is chosen by Heaven, tested through adversity, and ultimately triumphs through inner strength and wisdom. -

彭晗毅Zuo's Commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals (《左传》) is a commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals, one of the Confucian classics. It is attributed to Zuo Qiuming, a historian who lived in the state of Lu during the Spring and Autumn period. The commentary provides detailed accounts of events and personalities from the period, as well as explanations and interpretations of the brief entries in the Spring and Autumn Annals. The five major principles in Zuo's Commentary on the Spring and Autumn Annals are: 1. **Rectification of Names (正名)**: This principle emphasizes the importance of using appropriate titles and names for individuals and things. It is based on the idea that correct naming leads to proper behavior and social order. For example, if a ruler does not act like a ruler, he should not be called a ruler; if a son does not act like a son, he should not be called a son. 2. **Propriety (礼)**: Propriety refers to the rules and norms of behavior, including rituals, ceremonies, and etiquette. Zuo's Commentary stresses the importance of propriety in maintaining social harmony and preventing chaos. 3. **Righteousness (义)**: Righteousness involves doing what is morally right and just, even if it means going against one's self-interest or the interests of one's family or state. Zuo's Commentary often praises individuals who act with righteousness and criticizes those who do not. 4. **Loyalty (忠)**: Loyalty means being faithful and devoted to one's lord, family, or friends. Zuo's Commentary celebrates loyalty as a virtue and condemns disloyalty as a vice. 5. **Humaneness (仁)**: Humaneness is a central concept in Confucianism, referring to the quality of compassion and love for others. Zuo's Commentary encourages rulers and officials to govern with humaneness and to treat their subjects with kindness and mercy. These principles reflect the values and ideals of Confucianism, which emphasized morality, social order, and the importance of proper relationships between individuals and society.
