Mencius said that the nature of goodness is a common subject in the history of Chinese thinking, and has had a profound impact on the Chinese people’s civilized mind. The statement about good nature in Mencius can be basically divided into two categories. One is to directly point out the good nature of a person, and the other is positive and negative cases related to good nature.

If it is directly pointed out that a person’s nature is good, then this can only make others understand that a person’s nature is a humane claim. If this claim lacks detailed evidence, it can only be a personal sense of exposure, or even a non-sensory disconnection.

If it is a positive and negative case about good nature, there are still the following problems.

First, it is impossible to come up with a result. If a case of good deeds can show the humanity good, then a case of bad deeds can show the humanity evil. This will turn into a human being that is good and evil, or may be good or evil, which is contrary to the widespread fate of human beings.

Secondly, the reverse result is the cause. For the above problems, the following avoidance can be made, that is, good deeds can explain the human nature of goodness, and bad deeds are the wrong consequences of violating human nature of goodness. This explanation has been pre-defined in terms of the conditionsThe existence of the good nature is proven, and then the cases of goodness and badness are used to describe the difference between the primary and secondary ones.

Third, experience the out-of-bounds line. Even without the backdrop of bad behavior, the experience of special nature cannot lead to a broad outlook.

It is precisely because of the above many reasons that Mencius’s perceptual arguments seem to lack strength. For example, Li Zhen and He Shanmeng believed: “Mencius’s method of proof is based on experience. It is like when a child is lost and enters a well, he will definitely feel fear and obsessive. This kind of obsessive heart is not for any utilitarian goal, but is the true confession of emotions. This is the physical manifestation of goodness that is generated. Although it is said from Mencius’s logic, or <a This conclusion can be drawn. However, the recommendation of experience is not actually difficult to be in the experience No, it is like the one shown in the discussion with Gaozi. The incompleteness of experience determines the indecisiveness of reasoning from the most basic level, and at the same time, it cannot truly determine a metaphysical basis for morality. "[i] Therefore, Mencius's nature good theory seems to be able to become a personalized initiative. If this is true, then if Mencius wants to convince others that good deeds can only rely on religious, personal, and emotional personal charm, rather than relying on theoretical self-discipline.

Of course, religious, personal, emotional expressions have a major effect on the structure of a view. This article does not dispel the similar expressions that Mencius has, but rather wants to express one step further. The establishment of a good theory can actually have its own theoretical connotation, which is broad and certain. Mencius used “Ruzi’s entry into the well” as one of the cases of experiencing meaning, but should be regarded as a kind of argument for the theory of nature. Of course, this kind of argument of Mencius lacks the rigorous nature of contemporary academic language expression, but we cannot use this to demand our predecessors, but should look for the practical meanings in its more loose language expression.

To understand the proof method of Mencius’ nature goodness, we need to clarify the following three issues in succession. First, understanding of nature; second, understanding of goodness; third, reporting on goodness.

1. Understanding of nature

Before evaluating the good nature, you need to clarify the correct meaning of good nature. From the perspective of various trends in the academic world today, nature can have an understanding of the essence or a understanding of direction; goodness can have an understanding of dynamic theory or a understanding of the use of results. Therefore, we need to combine Mencius’ texts and make a decision that comes first and second.

1. The meaning of sex

Teacher Fu Sinian said: “In the book “Mencius”, there are many people who talk about nature. Among them, there are those who can interpret new words to include the amount of money to maintain, and there are also those who must use the word “new words to establish new words to establish new words to establish new words to establish new words to establish richness and then to interpret them.”[ii] The characterization of nature is life, which has the meaning of natural authenticity. If we introduce a metaphysical thinking, we will have both understanding and the two aspects of life. It is expression, so it is the essence. The former, like Gaozi’s “nature of birth” (Mencius, Gaozi 1) can be interpreted as the expression of natural authenticity; the latter, like Xunzi’s “nature of birth” (Xunzi, Zhengming), can be interpreted as the original nature of natural authenticity.

Mencius and Gaozi’s conflict with humanity lies in: Gaozi believes that the biological nature shared by humans and animals, and Mencius is authoritative and believes that the existence of this nature, but it focuses more on the nature that humans have but not animals have. In Mencius’s domain, this area is not placed on the human heart. It is said that the spiritual state shared by humans and animals is a small body, and the spiritual state unique to humans but not the animal is a big body. Mencius called this body’s spirit a conscience.

We combine the original intention and nature with nature from the perspective of the original intention and nature. According to the following interpretation of the two aspects of nature, we can draw the two relationships between original intention and nature. First, nature is the essence, and the original intention and conscience are the true expression of nature; second, the mind is the essence, and nature is the true expression of nature, and conscience are the true expression of nature. We can simply call the former as mental and mental use, and the latter as mental and sexual use.

In fact, whether it is a mental or mental use, although it is less irreversible in the understanding of the mind and nature, it has an internal personality in the thinking level, that is, the separation between the natural and the reason. It is expression, so it is the essence. However, as expression, it is a process of change; therefore, as essence, it is a constant body. From the perspective of the nature of the mind, nature is the same, which refers to the process of change, so it can be said to be good; from the perspective of the nature of the mind, nature is the reason, which refers to the constant body, so it can be said to be good. The so-called difference between being good in nature and being good in nature lies in the difference in understanding nature.

The literature on good nature in Mencius is mostly explained in examples. The specific examples are not abstract theoretical performances, but experiences in time and space, so they are all expressed in a natural way. In the natural way, it is a process of goodness in the changing trend. Those who insist on speaking to the good will say that these articles are not the most basic 平台网 VIP have the intention of being kind, and are only doing good. Those who are good at speaking will say these textsThe experience of goodness described in the written experience is all based on the inherent theory of the experience of goodness and goodness, which can lead to such a true nature of goodness. (If there is no support for the inherent goodness in nature, then goodness is just an occasional punishment in experience. The conclusion that can be drawn is: the complete expression of goodness and evil in experience is equal, and goodness does not occupy a major position than evil. Obviously, this kind of mystery does not
