A Survey Of Qiongda Thought Of Mencius

The Qiongda question not only reflects individual to the Qiongda the outlook on life and the values, but also reflects the philosophy of getting along with people, therefore it has been the focal point which the philosophers paid attention to very early. The Confucian, which was an important school in Chinese ancient times, advocated that being sage inside and being kingly outside, and also paid attention to the Qiongda question. Mencius, who was epitomizes in pre-Qin Confucianism, in the foundation of inheriting and developing the Confucian sages's thought, proposed his Qiongda thought --qiong, then cultivates one's own moral worth, da, then benefits everybody。Mencius locates the time just when to seals the organization system by the slavery to transform, the new old political power alternate time, at that time seven countries strove for hegemony successive years the tangled warfare, the lives of the people are miserable beyond description. Various feudal lords to strive for war's initiative, solicits the best-qualified workers in abundance accepts the shi But as social progress prop taxi social stratum, facing sudden social big transformation, also starts to carry on the localization again to own role. In the cultural aspect, this time just when the hundred school of thought contending time, Confucianism development receives the serious challenge. Under such background, Mencius take recovers and carries forward Confucianism as an own duty, has carried on the Philippic to other schools of thought. Facing the social reality then, Mencius thought that if wants to change the social dispute's aspect, only then from raises the person of integrity social stratum the moral training to start, to let the shi social stratum know oneself shoulder community responsibility.Mencius's Qiongda thought not only inherited and has developed the Confucianist internal theory, while carried on controversy's with other factions, also has absorbed the other school of thought reasonable ingredient. Mencius's Qiongda thought also leaves behind other school of thought thought the trace, the Qiongda thought's training discussed is discusses to laozi's training has carried on the absorption and the transformation, the laozi when talked about the moral training advocated"fewness of desires", Mencius when elaborated approached things philosphically Qiongda the training which discusses, also advocated that"the spiritual cultivation not was good at the lessening desires". In addition, Mencius's Qiongda thought has also absorbed the Mohist school theory,"da, then benefits everybody"is precisely to Mozi"the universal love"the thought transformation. Is precisely because picks long of abundantly numerous family, only then enables Mencius's Qiongda thought to have the formidable vitality.Mencius's Qiongda thought discusses virtuous humanity thought as the premise, thought that the human has the moral values if can be suitable person's natural disposition to develop, can cause the moral values unceasing expansion, thus achieves the perfect moral, this also established the shi person was successful when had the benefitting everybody possibility. As for social being human nature bad phenomenon, Mencius thought that is because day after tomorrow's environment's will influence create. Although Mencius's theory of human nature is prior, but he will also acknowledge the day after tomorrow the environment influence, because the moral values will be after all imperfect, only will be the friendly start, if will receive the bad environment for a long time the influence, will cause moral values to disappear. At the same time, Mencius's Qiongda thought is also take the fatality as the foundation, Mencius's fatality is destiny determinism, he not only thought that the human nature is, but also thought that person's life and death short and long life which, the riches and honor failure and success decided by the fatality is also, it which decided by the destiny is not by the manpower can control. Therefore, the moral main body can do complies with the destiny, cultivates one's own moral worth, strengthens own training unceasingly, practices moral culture by Qi it.The training discusses is the Qiongda thought important content. In order to fulfill approaches things philosphically Qiongda, must first intentionally with all one's heart, Namely must maintain the moral values, then must spiritual cultivate, only then carries on to the moral values protects, can cause its unceasing expansion. Exterior the spiritual cultivation best mode nothing better than"fewness of desires", reduces the desire to be possible to avoid the bad surroundings to moral values the corrosion. Everything needs to engage in self-examination, causes own behavior to conform to the kernel and righteousness throughout, in the person heart will harbor continuously for a long time hence the most upright and unyielding noble spirit. Mencius's training discusses is finally to raise has the real man spirit ideal personality, only then the real man can the time take the kernel and righteousness as the guide to action, can do supinely worthily in the day, bends down not ashamedly in the human, When being da then benefits everybody, is qiong when cultivates one's own moral worth ,About fulfilled the Qiongdathought main body, Mencius has placed the vision in the shi social stratum. Although Mencius acknowledged that the human have moral values, but under time background then, Mencius thinks only then the shi social stratum to be able to achieve without the property has the perseverance, because since the shi social stratum has been shouldering the social development and the progress heavy responsibility, the ordinary common people are easier to receive the external environment the influence.The destiny Mencius's Qiongda thought is the establishment above the moral values foundation, he advocated that the ruler executes carries out a policy of benevolent government the politics, but in that struggle in the strength time, Mencius's thought is incompatible with obviously with the time, was considered that is"impractical and extravagantly in the matter", thus cannot obtain ruler's value. Although Mencius's Qiongda thought does not adapt the feudal lord to attempt tyrant's Warring States period, but was proven actually that is advantageous to the maintenance unified feudalism country. Now our country is being in the reform and open policy the big transformation time, the social structure also has the very big change, the opportunity and challenge coexisting, mentioned again how Mencius's Qiongda thought did treat own Qiongda spell of good or bad fortune to the new time's intellectual to provide the enlightenment.
