Confucius and Mencius, the representatives of classical Confucianism, later, "Confucius and Mencius," adding that, between the two recognized the inherent consistency in terms of ideology. Generally feel that the majority of the Mencius of departure from the subjective inner concentric, highlighting the main body of conscience or innate goodness of the class of transcendental concept, limited to individual, subjective perspective. In theory, Confucius, Mencius inherited, highlighted in moral self-realization and self-improvement. The existence of morality, the most basic starting point is true and all the activities of their own. In the Mencius, the heart has a higher priority than the sexual. The heart essentially is a highlight for the first event of the subjectivity, rather than a concept of subjectivity. In other words, the heart is conscious during the operation, the power of its own. Thus, Mencius, more importantly, "there must be something forth, not freeze is the heart forget," the heart and things are always in specific sexual activities all in one. Therefore, Mencius, in order to "act" as the foundation, the main material of strength and power (that is the heart and gas) in one phase, individuality and integrity (that is, his personal or social) blending together, the two unity in the specific context of the scene. From the Confucian moral - to the existence of enterprises is, in essence, we can say that the inheritance of Confucius and development, an important aspect is the "acting" basis, on the people to further deepen their own existence, from "time nature and process of "the highlight of the" specific nature of the specific reality or truth ", then clearly the overall integrity of the presence or existence. Mencius, and usually called "All things are in me, reflexive and honest, music itself a remarkable achievement" as an individual different realm of morality.To act on the basis of activities, this holistic perspective in the philosophy of Mencius, trying to avoid "empty words Mind", closely around the community - the whole history of existence, the existence of specific analysis of social integrity of the foundation of the internal order of society as a whole the focus of the mission of Mencius division theory and self-confirmation, in this based on the orientation relationship between the emperor, highlighting the monarch, minister for equality, division of labor, cooperative relationship, form a harmonious community, equality and interaction as form political order of the most important part, which may declare a "Confucian democracy" or "China's own civilization based on democracy," a new style of germination, establishment of political order in China, provides a valuable exploration of the experience, thus Thought for today to be used for reference.
