                   Text 1                              Mèngzǐ 孟子 6A.11

                   The Mèngzǐ (Mencius) is a text of the late fourth century B.C. that purports to record the
                   words and deeds of the second of the great Confucian philosophers Meng Ke 孟軻. The
                   selection below is from the sixth of the text’s seven books and expresses Mencius’s basic
                   Confucian commitments.
