As a Confucian classic,Mencius has extremely high ideological value and literary achievements.Since the Han Dynasty,the people who studied "Meng" have achieved fruitful results and formed a special knowledge-Mengxue.Today's study of "Mencius" starts with the discovery of the beauty of Mencius 'personality and explores the historical value and practical significance of Mencius' unique cultural personality for the formation of the personality of the Chinese nation.The full text of this article is divided into the following four chapters:Chapter 1: Mencius' moral personality.Mencius is the second highest mountain of Confucianism since Confucius.Mencius 'moral ideals originated from Confucius,but they are slightly different from Confucius.On the one hand,the benevolent spirit of Mencius' benevolence,the character of the husband who "saved for justice",and the internal cultivation of "reverse seeking others" constituted his own personality pursuit.On the other hand,Meng Zimin's noble feelings for the gentleman's life,the responsibility of giving up to others,the self-improvement and the harmonious character of human beings also constitute his ideal of "being good in the world".Mencius' s moral personality can be summarized by "the poor is better off,and the world is better".This has also become a model of the ideal personality of the Chinese nation.Chapter 2: Mencius' s psychological personality.Mencius' s life trajectory is a typical representative of the living conditions of Chinese literati intellectuals in ancient times,so the duality of his cultural personality and tragedy is also more prominent.On the one hand,Mencius' personality temperament showed strong personality confidence and self-esteem,theoretical confidence and self-confidence.Mencius insisted on adhering to the heavens and the princes,and possessed an unstoppable spirit of independence and fearless masculinity.On the other hand,the defects of its cultural personality are also very obvious.Mencius positioned himself as the "slave assistant" of the monarch,and never surpassed his role and authority.However,the "not meeting" plots in real life often force them to rethink and choose the path and attitude of life.This caused grief,sigh,sentiment,pain and resentment in Mencius' s heart.Under the control of this double psychological personality,Mencius had to abandon the realization of the value of life from the premise of pursuing freedom,instead of seeking norms and giving up freedom as a reality.Chapter 3: At the level of aesthetic personality,Mencius' unique psychological personality influences the formation of his aesthetic personality and essay style.In terms of creative ideas,Mencius is based on active salvation,propagates Confucianism as its mission,and expresses anger and lyricism as its purpose.In terms of creative mentality,it manifests a distinct "angry" mentality,which expresses its "indignation" and "argument" characteristics of life experience and its personality that is good at exploring the deep causes of things,forming Mencius' unique "male language"."style.This aesthetic personality and essay style have an important and far-reaching influence on the creation and evaluation of later essays.Chapter 4: The historical value of Mencius' cultural personality.The rational understanding of life in Mencius 's personality spirit,and the critical spirit of politics,society,and culture gleamed with the brilliance of reason.Especially in the context of the “obscure” era like pre-Qin,Mencius was able to propose a whole set of preservation,maintenance,and transcendence.The life view of life is even more valuable.Mencius' cultural personality has a profound influence on the formation of the Chinese nation's personality.Today,it seems that every Chinese has a Mencius in his heart.Stressing benevolence,yearning for freedom,pursuing justice,focusing on integrity,praying for peace,and chasing ideals have become our national temperament and character.And these personality spirits,we can just find the source from Mencius.
