Sun Chou said, "A gentleman doesn't educate his son himself. Why? " Mencius said, "Because truth doesn't work. (father) education (son) must use the right truth; It doesn't matter if you use the right reason, and then you will get angry. When you are angry, you hurt your feelings. My son will say,' What you taught me is right, but your own path is not right.'
In this way, the feelings between father and son were hurt. It is a bad thing to hurt the feelings between father and son. In ancient times, sons were exchanged for education, and fathers and sons did not seek perfection. Nothing is more unfortunate than blaming each other, which will alienate father and son and alienate them.

Mencius' theory of "goodness of nature" mainly shows Confucius' concept of "benevolence", which lacks theoretical basis and has not yet explained the "root of moral value" Therefore, Mencius should establish a "conscious consciousness of the root of moral value" and think that goodness is the basic consciousness of human beings, which is manifested in compassion, shame, resignation and right and wrong. The "four ends" show that moral value consciousness is innate. This can supplement the deficiency of Confucius' theory of "benevolence"
