Description

This book presents 19 core quotations from "Mencius" in comic form, each paired with real examples from Chinese history, interpreting Mencius's philosophical ideas through vivid stories. Readers follow the perspectives of two young protagonists, Dahua and Xiaohua, traveling through time to experience classic stories: For example, through "Li Shizhen Testing Medicine on Himself," understand the wisdom of weighing choices in "Weighing, then one knows lightness and heaviness"; through "Su Wu Tending Sheep," learn the resilient spirit of "Unyielding in the face of force"; through "Boring a Hole in the Wall to Steal Light," comprehend the path of diligence in "When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on someone." Other stories include "Cook Ding Dismembering an Ox," "King Wu's Expedition Against King Zhou," "Mencius's Mother Cutting the Loom," covering moral, educational, and social issues. The book uses entertaining comics to lower the barrier to classics, helping children aged 8-14 understand Mencius's advocacy of "the innate goodness of human nature," "benevolence and righteousness," and "independent personality" while having fun, fostering correct values and critical thinking. The stories are compact, with each chapter standing independently, suitable for fragmented reading, while collectively conveying the universal ideals of Confucian thought.
