Who is Mencius?

in BC 372-289 near Shandong Province approximately 2300 years ago, he is a
famous philosopher in the era of Warring State. He practiced Confucius teachings
and ideology from Confucius’s disciple. He represents the teaching of
Confucius thereafter.
His
7 volumes of work named after him was properly archived in the library as
classic scripture and later became a book must read for scholars who work for
government. In Sung era 宋,
Chu Xi 朱熹
had grouped 4 books of Mencius《孟子》,
Lun Yu《論语》、
Da Xue《大學》、Zhong
Yong《中庸》as
classical Four scripture (四書)
His famous
preaching was humanitarian or righteousness ‘善’
and benevolence ‘仁’;
the word ‘仁’
is made up ‘two human’ in Chinese words, such implying that one must respect
human being and live together harmoniously.
Mencius’s Mom 3 Moves孟母三遷
Mencius
had a poor childhood and only able to live near graveyard. Mencius liked to
imitate the person performing ceremony for the death and often played with
coffin. Mencius mother told him that if she does not move, Mencius would
eventually ended up working for the death. Then after, they moved to a small
village near market side where once again Mencius like to imitate people selling
boar meat and chopping meat into pieces, Mencius’s mother worried that would
eventually affect his future. She decided to move the third time and this time
closer to a school. Mencius imitated the students and learned his lessons in the
school thereafter.

Mencius’s Mom Dismantled Knitting Machine孟母斷機
At
the age of 8, Mencius’s Mother sends him to school. One day, Mencius came back
form school and told his mother that he is bored and tired with school. When
Mencius mother heard what he had said, she was furious and dismantled her
knitting machine and told Mencius that if he were to give up half way, he will
be just like the broken knitting machine that is useless and meaningless.
Mencius got his mother message well and clear, thereafter he decided to study
hard and learned Confucius teaching and philosophies and work his way to become
well known scholar.
