Mencius further discussed the general humanity of the king of the king in the "Liang Hui King's Chapter",From "Everyone can be a sage" to "the monarch can be the holy king",Encourage Qi Xuanwang to push the people in the people,Tongle with the people,So as "Wang Tianxia"。So,"Tongle with the people" can be said to be the core meaning of Mencius's political thought。The essence of "Together with the People" is "raising the people"。About "Raising the People",The pre -Qin Confucianism has a clear method,For example,It makes the people also righteous ";。"Confucius Family Language · Five Yi Jie" even has the saying of "raising the people",raised "raising the people" to the height of politics。Although there is no word "raising the people" in the book "Mencius",But the article "Liang Hui" pointed out,King should be benevolent,"No regret to kill the people's health",Think that this is "the beginning of the king"。This statement is exactly the typical "raising the people" concept,and implement the consistent of Mencius's political philosophy and political ethics。

So,How should the monarch "support the people"? Passing "Mencius" Book,It can be seen that there are two aspects of the specific measures of "raising the people": First, the "production of the people",Meet the basic material needs of the people,Implementing material "offering"; second, ritual education,Guide the people bet365 live casino games to do good,"Education" to the people morally。

Mencius said: "Those who have no constant products and have perseverance,Wei Shi is able to。Ruo Min,There is no constant production,Because there is no perseverance。Gou Wuheng,Is also 罔 也,None of it。and sin,then torture,Is also 罔 也。焉? It is the birth of Mingjun to make the people,It will be enough to be enough for parents,It is enough to be a livestock wife,Le Sui full full,The fierce year is exempted from death; then the good is driven,The people of the old people are also light。"(" Liang Hui Wang Zhang Ji ") Mencius clearly pointed out here,For ordinary people,No constant production without perseverance,Stable material living security is the foundation of the development of stable values,If you want to "drive the good",Let them know the meaning,Xingxiao,There must be "constant production"。Established by the people's constant production,It is determined and arranged by the monarch。We can clearly see the use of the "system" of Mencius's "production of the people" and the following "envoys",Mencius has a sober understanding of the decision mechanism of the people's living standards,What is the living standard of the people,It is pre -designed and decided by the rulers in the formulation of basic national policy。If the people do their best to do their own efforts,It is still difficult to obtain a stable living security,Then it should be understood that the problem is that the rulers do not make the people have the heart of "constant bet365 Play online games production",So there is no "production of the people"。

So,What are the specific strategies and measures of "production of the people"? Agriculture for the people、Fisheries and other production activities,Mencius said: "When not against farm,Valley must not be won;,Fish must not win; the axes enter the mountain forest,Material Mu cannot be used to use。Valley and Fish Fish can't win food,Material wood cannot be used,It is also regrettable for the people's health and death。Health and death has no regret,At the beginning of Wang Dao。"(" Liang Hui Wang Zhang ") here,Mencius requires the monarch to lead the people to "not violate the agricultural" when producing agricultural production,Strictly follow the seasons seasons; at the same time, it is emphasized that in production activities such as fishery and forestry, we must pay attention to maintaining ecological balance,Make fishery resources and forestry resources sustainable。So,All people can get effective guarantee in basic living materials。

Another,In terms of specific family production and life,Mencius also put forward a clearer guiding opinion: "Five acres of houses,Tree is mulberry,Fifty people can wear clothes。Animals of chicken and dolphins,,Seventy people can eat meat。100 acres of field,Don't take the time,Eight mouths can be hungry without hunger。"(" Liang Hui Wang Zhang ") in Mencius's design,Each family allocates five acres of homestead,On this private land that belongs to the family,You can plant a large mulberry tree around the house,Raising silkworm bet365 live casino games wire,Feed pigs and chicken,It is enough to make the elderly eat meat。In the well field system,Hundreds of households a hundred acres of fields,As long as the people can ensure the production of people on time,It is enough to support a home of eight mouths。Mencius's sum of peace and peace described by Mencius、Self -sufficient family life map,It is actually the most attractive life dream of ordinary people in the natural economy of the traditional Chinese farmers。

In the discussion of "Wang Zheng" with King Qi Xuan,Mencius takes Wen Wangzhi as an example,It also provided the specific reference of how to make the people's production for King Qi Xuan: ",Farmer 91,Shilu,Guanshi is not recruiting,Ze Liang has no ban,Sinners not 孥。Old and no wife said,Old but no husband said,Old but no son said independence,Young but no father said lonely。These four,Poor people in the world without sued。Wen Wang Female Political Shi Ren,Biography of Four。"(" Under Liang Hui Wang ") The farmer、、Guanshi、Ze Liang、Sinners,Mencius proposed by Mencius By the matter of the King of the King, the people's politics claims basically will basically take people from all levels and industries in the society,Even the sinners have covered it,and give specific opinions,Among them, it also emphasizes the priority guarantee of the lonely lonely person。

Generally speaking,Mencius's policy design of how to "produce the people" can be divided into three levels: First, the protection of natural ecology,Second is the arrangement of family production,Third Bet365 app download is the guarantee of social benefits。

 Rich and then teach

The word "rich and then teach" is first seen in "On Heng · Ask Confucius": "Zi Shi Wei,Ranzi servant。Zi said: ‘庶 矣 哉! ‘Said:‘ Both : 矣,How can you add it? ‘Said:‘ Fugu ’。Said: ‘Both rich,How can you add it? ‘Said:‘ Teaching。Ranzi is rich and then taught。"" "After the people have a good material living security, focus on moral education,It is precisely the consistent political proposition of the pre -Qin Confucianism。

Mencius talked about the "production of the people",Often will further mention the problem of education of the people。Because "people have constant production, there is perseverance",Evergrande is the basis for development。He said, "It is also produced by the people today,It is not enough for parents,It is not enough to fall down;,The fierce year is unavoidable to death。This is the only way to save death and may not help,Governance of rituals? "but,Only constant production does not seem to make the people persevere,It is also necessary to systematically educate the people,This reflects the other connotation of the "raising" of "raising the people": educate the people。In fact,This is also the meaning of Mengzi's emphasis on the "parents of the people".。

Under normal circumstances,Parents to children,Not only must the children be able to eat full and warm (satisfaction of material life),Happy and happy (satisfaction of spiritual life),At the same time, it is necessary to educate children adults。So,Mencius repeatedly asked the monarch to "bet365 best casino games make the people's production" and "with the people",It has also repeatedly emphasized "the teaching of the preface,Shen Zhi Zhi's Filial Pyramida,The whitening person lives up to the road。"About" Education of the Sequence ",Mencius explained in the "Tengwen official seal sentence",It says: "Set as the preface school with teaching。庠,Raise also; schoolmen,Teaching also; preface,Shoot also。Xia Yue School,Yin Yue Preface,Zhou Yue 庠;,So Ming Ren Lun also。Human Lun Ming is on the top,Xiaomin kisses。"" The teaching of the preface "is to make people" Ming Renlun "through a series of" teaching "and" support "activities,Develop the virtue of benevolence,As a result, love each other love each other,Establish a harmonious social order and atmosphere。and "There is no benevolence and their relatives also,It is not righteous and then the monarch also "。("Liang Hui Wang Chapter") On the one hand, the king takes the lead through his own,Infected with the people with a journey of benevolence,and implement the righteousness of benevolence enables the people to "depend on parents,It is enough to be a livestock wife,Le Sui full full,Never death for the fierce year ",Let the "Old Man clothes and eat meat,Li Min is not hungry or cold "(" Liang Hui Wang Zhang Jian "),On the other hand, through the teaching of filial piety and righteousness, "drive the good",Guide the people to good,The people can naturally "kiss them"。This can be seen,The production of the people is related to the rich and the rear education is related,The former is based on the bet365 Play online games premise,The latter is the supplement and improvement of the former,Only the organic combination of the two,Only to build a complete set、A operable benevolence practice system。
