What is Mencius and the Mandate of Heaven about?

In this document, readers will see that the Confucian concept of government for the people was further explicated and enriched by Mencius. As I shall also point out, in his saying that wicked rulers should be taken down, Mencius was not only daring (not to say consuming a lot of the magnanimous chi that he had accumulated), but way beyond the political imagination of his day. This is another romantic aspect of Mencius, and the reason why he had come to be honored in traditional China as “Sage No.2”.
