The language is "Mencius, Liang, I am in the country." Health: support the living. Mourning: A funeral for the dead. Regret: Regret and dissatisfaction. Wang Dao: Benevolence governs the world. This is the political proposition of Confucianism, which is contrary to the "hegemony" pursued by the governors at that time to unify the world by force. Start: start, start.
Liang Huiwang asked Mencius how to make his country more populous. Mencius told him that if the season of agricultural production is not postponed, there will be endless food. If the dense nets don't enter the pond, aquatic products such as fish and turtles will be inexhaustible. Logging in the mountains according to a certain season will produce inexhaustible wood. Food and aquatic products are inexhaustible, and wood is inexhaustible, so that people are not dissatisfied with health care and death, and people will gather in your country. Achieving this goal is the beginning of kingliness.
"Keeping in good health and losing one's life is the beginning of kingliness", which is the crowning touch of the article, highlighting the main idea of this article: only by implementing benevolent government can we win the hearts of the people; Only by winning the hearts of the people can we win the world. This idea of "protecting the people is king" is actually the concrete embodiment of Mencius' people-oriented thought.
