Brief Introduction:

The Works of Mencius is a classic Confucian text, authored by Mencius and his disciples, including Wan Zhang and Gongsun Chou, during the mid-Warring States period. It was first documented in Zhao Qi’s Annotations to The Works of Mencius: “This book was written by Mencius, hence collectively referred to as The Works of Mencius.” During the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi classified The Works of Mencius as one of the Four Books (the others being The Great Learning, The Doctrine of the Mean, and The Analects).
