Somehow, when it comes to literati scholars, they are weak, shabby and broad-minded, which makes people look down on them. However, can we find the shadow of a bit of cowardice in Mencius, the old ancestor of literati? If he knew that the later literati had ruined their own image in that way, he would be furious and scold their descendants. Mencius really set an example for the later literati. The image of man not only makes swordsmen and Rangers armed with special beauty, but also men of letters. "Mencius" records that once, Mencius was going to the court to see the king of Qi. The king of Qi just sent someone to say to Mencius, "I should have visited you, but unfortunately I caught a cold and was afraid of the wind. If you can come to the court, I can meet you." When Mencius heard this, he didn't want to go, so he replied, "just now I'm sick, and I can't go to the court to see the king." The next day, Mencius went to doctor Dongguo's house to mourn. Gongsun Chou said, "it's not good that you were sick yesterday and went to mourning today." Mencius said bluntly, "I was ill yesterday, but I am well today. Why can't I go to mourning?" It's no use fighting openly with the king as a minister without integrity, backbone and courage. Mencius once quoted a warrior as saying, "I, my husband, am I afraid of him?" In today's words, it's all men, who are afraid of whom! Once again, Mencius left the state of Qi and stayed in the daytime. A man wanted to keep Mencius for the king of Qi, so he sat up and talked to Mencius in a big way. Mencius ignored him and lay on his back. He was very unhappy. Mencius told him frankly that he should know etiquette to an old man! In Mencius' view, some of the kings of e'guanbo belt are just greedy, lecherous and stupid people with straw bags, or are the only people who lead the beasts and cannibals. How can they be respected by the common people?! Therefore, heaven will give a great deal of responsibility to the people, "in today's world, who is willing to give up?" Heroic spirit, over expression. Confucius formulated the rules and regulations of the father and son of the monarch, the minister, the father and the son. Mencius did not blindly accept them. He proposed that the people are the most important and the monarch is the least important. He is independent, lofty and magnanimous, inviolable, and does not pay attention to some mediocre kings at all.
