孟子作为儒家的重要代表人物，继承发展了儒家“仁”的思想主张。其思想在孟子在世时，虽未受到统治者应有的重视，但随着时代的发展和统治者治国的需要，孟子思想的地位渐渐被人们重新评估，地位不断“升格”，这是历史发展的必然结果。其“以人为中心”的思想内核却历久弥新，在千年后焕发新彩，在现世具有极其重要的文化价值。只有深入全面探求，才能触碰到儒家思想的内核，挖掘其符合时代需求的主张，才能把握历史和未来的发展脉络。

As an important representative figure of Confucianism, Mencius inherited and developed the idea of "benevolence" advocated by Confucianism. Although his thoughts were not given due attention by the rulers during his lifetime, with the development of the times and the needs of the rulers in governing the country, the status of Mencius' thoughts was gradually re-evaluated and continuously "upgraded" by people. This was an inevitable result of historical development. The core idea of "people-oriented" in his thoughts remains evergreen and has shone with new brilliance a thousand years later, possessing extremely important cultural value in the present era. Only by delving deeply and comprehensively into it can we touch the core of Confucianism, excavate its propositions that meet the needs of the times, and grasp the development pulse of history and the future.
