孟子的理想人格及修养

On Mencius' Ideal Character and Self-cultivation

孟子对其理想人格“大丈夫”道德品质的规定是“居仁”、“立礼”、“由义” ;修养的重要途径是要在考验与磨难中 ,锻炼并养成“不淫”、“不移”、“不屈”的坚强意志与高尚节操。

In Mencius eyes, the ideal character, namely the moral qualities of a great man', is benevolence, propriety and righteousness. The important approach to achieve self cultivation is to temper ones willpower in ordeals and tribulations and to develop firm willfulness and high moral principles so that one can go beyond the control of the power of riches, honors and mean conditions'.
