Outstanding story:
One day, one of Mencius' students, Gong Sunchou, asked Mencius, "Teacher, are Boyi and Yi Yin similar to ancient Confucius?" .
Mencius said: "Confucius' students once said:' All animals of the same kind can be compared, such as Kirin compared with other animals, Phoenix compared with other birds, Mount Tai compared with other hills, and rivers and seas compared with puddles. The former far exceeds the latter. Saints and others are of the same kind, but saints have far surpassed and surpassed others (because their class is outstanding). Since the beginning of mankind, no one is greater than Confucius. "
