Abstract:Mencius’ broad view of life holds that destiny is the origin of life, while body and mind constitute the structure of life, and the mind is more important than the body. Mencius put life into question from destiny to Mind, and put forward the methods of cultivating Mind, cultivating Qi to return the origin of life, and ultimately reach the state of knowing the Mind and destiny. Mencius provides a Confucian model of lifestyle, and points out a fair and square road for the Confucians. However, from a practical utility point of view, Mencius’ broad view of life is only suitable for superior wise people and can not fully carry out in reality.
