孟子
关于人性本善与仁政的对话。
简介
The book records conversations of Mencius with kings, ministers, disciples and opponents in seven books, each divided into two parts. It opens with King Hui of Liang asking how Mencius can profit his state, and Mencius replying that he should speak only of humaneness and rightness. In a famous debate with Gaozi, who compares human nature to water flowing east or west, Mencius answers that nature tends to goodness as water flows downhill. The text also defends the right to overthrow a tyrant who has lost the Mandate of Heaven. Zhu Xi made it one of the Four Books, and it became required reading for the imperial examinations.
