He spent his last years preparing a book of his teachings called The Book of Mencius.

在他晚年，他直都在准备本关于自己思想书，称为《孟子》。

Mencius was a thinker whose teachings were very similar to those of Confucius.

孟子也是位思想家，他想法和孔子很相似。

Mencius believed that the reason why man is different from animals is that man is good.

孟子认为人类之所以不同于动物，就在于人类是善。

In literary eloquence he can be compared to Mencius, and in political criticism he was not second to Lu Chih.

知言自况于孟轲，论事肯卑于陆贽？

Mencius says, " Anyone who does not recognize the handsomeness of Zidu must have no eyes." That saying referred to this man.

孟子曰：“不识子杜之美者，非无眼”。这句话就是指这个人。

Not to mention other historical figures, within the Confucian school itself, there were Mencius and Xunzi in the pre-Qin period, and Zhu Xi, Cheng Yi, and Cheng Hao in the Southern Song Dynasty.

别说其他历史人物了，在儒学派本身内部，有先秦时期孟子和荀子，还有南宋时期朱习、成毅和程浩。
