In Mencius' s philosophy,the idea of "benevolent government" is an important theory.Mencius' "benevolent government" thought came from the inheritance of Confucius' "ideology of virtue".From the transformation of "Government of Germany" to "Benevolence",it reflects the details and feasibility of the ideal of political affairs.The formulation of benevolent ideology has both realistic and theoretical guidelines.Based on the observation of reality,the practice of benevolent government is the appeal and aspiration of the world to the “benevolence”.The princes all need the execution of benevolence by the monarch;The implementation provided theoretical guidance,which is also one of the cases in which Mencius believes that Benevolence has been successfully implemented in Chinese history.In addition,in the specific aspect of benevolence,the theory of goodness of nature has a certain theoretical security guarantee for the universal implementation of benevolence.The development of Benevolence was first shown in the manner of Shangren,and finally the “benevolence” was carried out through the way of self-denial and self-improvement,so that everyone can be progosm,grow in length and correct self-cultivation process.Benevolence begins with the self and further implements a principle of impartiality.To a certain extent,"en" is human's unbearable heart.It is the outward expansion of the relationship between the parents and the family,thereby realizing the promotion and expansion of the world.Eventually,there is a general burden on the people's issues and the people are protected king.Although the idea of benevolent government has its own important constructive aspect,it is specifically intended to highlight the elite politics.Sage's politics highlights the important position of "Sage" in governing the country,and it is of positive significance to moral advice and the selection of outstanding talents and equal opportunities by the state.In addition,people-oriented thinking is also reflected in the ideas of benevolent government.The people-oriented principle of governance not only has the forward-looking nature of the times but also has a positive response to society at that time.In addition,Mencius' benevolent ideology is also a kind ofmoral ideal.In political life,he excessively ethically and idealizes the political issue.This is doomed to the idea that benevolent government will not be fully realized.There is a certain tension between Mencius' benevolent ideology and real life.Therefore,the idea of "benevolent government" has become an ideal advocated by later Confucianists.In spite of this,the later generations continued to adjust and perfect Mencius' thoughts,which has guiding significance for us to study the ideas of benevolent politics.
