Features: As Mencius said, "Speech that is near in words but far in meaning is good speech." Mencius was an important representative figure of the Confucian school in China, the successor to Confucius, and was revered as the "Second Sage." Confucian culture is also known as "Confucianism and Mencianism." He left us many wise and philosophical sayings in areas such as self-cultivation, governing the state, education, making friends, and respecting parents and the elderly. Many of these sayings still hold practical educational significance today. We have selected a portion of these concise and memorable words to compile this book, "Mencius's Famous Sayings," and paired them with English translations and exquisite illustrations for the appreciation of young and middle-aged readers at home and abroad.
