Mencius
Mencius was one of the representatives of Confucianism in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and his philosophical thought was called "The Way of Mencius". Mencius advocated "the nature of destiny" and believed that human nature is good, but it also needs self-cultivation and social education to develop its potential. He emphasized that people should pursue kindness and strike a balance between self-improvement and social responsibility.
Mencius' thought emphasizes people's subjective initiative and thinks that people can change themselves and society through their own efforts. He advocates "the way of keeping in good health", that is, improving his quality of life through self-cultivation and physical health care. This thought had an important influence on the development of ancient medical and health culture in China.
The practical significance of the golden mean
The doctrine of the mean is a balanced state, which requires people to pursue both personal interests and social interests. This state of balance is also of great significance to the development of modern society. In today's world, there are contradictions among economic development, environmental protection and social harmony. If we can follow the golden mean, pursue economic development and pay attention to environmental protection and social harmony, we can achieve sustainable development.
The golden mean also requires people to be kind to others, which is also of great significance to the establishment of social harmony and interpersonal relationships. In today's society, mutual trust and understanding between people is very important. If we can be kind to others, we can establish good interpersonal relationships and promote social harmony.
