Tell me more about people who haven't heard of it.

I've never heard of correcting others even if it's dishonest, let alone insulting myself to correct people all over the world.

Mencius inherited and developed Confucius' thought of ruling by virtue, and developed it into the theory of benevolent governance, which became the core of his political thought. He applied the principles of "pro" and "long" to politics, eased class contradictions and safeguarded the long-term interests of the feudal ruling class.

On the one hand, Mencius strictly distinguished the class status of the ruler and the ruled, and thought that "those who do things rule their people, and those who do things rule their people", and imitated the Zhou system to draw up a hierarchy from emperor to ruler; On the other hand, the relationship between the ruler and the ruled is compared to the relationship between parents and children, and it is advocated that the ruler should care about the sufferings of the people like parents, and the people should be close to and serve the ruler like parents.

Mencius believes that this is the most ideal politics, and the rulers can win the heartfelt support of the people if they implement benevolent policies; On the other hand, if people's lives are ignored, they will lose people's hearts, become solitary thieves and be overthrown by the people. The specific content of benevolent government is very extensive, including economy, politics, education and ways to unify the world, among which there is a clue of people-oriented thought. Moreover, this thought was developed from the idea of valuing the people over the gods in the Spring and Autumn Period.

In order to cultivate self-cultivation and achieve virtue, Mencius proposed that we must rely on self-cultivation and cultivate humanity, and fully develop the "four ends" that exist in our hearts, which Mencius called "exhaustion". The cultivation of "doing one's best" cultivates noble spirit, making people a gentleman who can't be slutty, poor and humble, and powerful and unyielding. Then, using the "mind" to control your emotions can become a virtue.
