Features: Meng Ke was a thinker, statesman, and educator during the Warring States period. In his youth, he studied under Zisi, a disciple of Confucius's grandson. He devoted himself to researching Confucian doctrine and later became the second master of Confucianism, known as the "Second Sage." To promote his political ideas, he traveled to and persuaded several states, including Qi, Song, Teng, and Wei, but was not accepted. In his sixties, he returned to his hometown, gathered people to teach, and wrote books. The book Mengzi is the most direct and reliable material for studying Meng Ke's thought. This book includes selected high-quality content from the Mengzi, along with detailed annotations and easy-to-understand colloquial translations to assist readers in reading and understanding.
