During the Warring States period, Mencius encouraged his disciples to actively propagate his political views, urging them not to be discouraged or intimidated by the prominent power and influence of their opponents.
He taught them that when facing the lavish lifestyles of these princes and high officials " their grand mansions, tables laden with food covering a square zhang, and hundreds of concubines " they should immediately think that if they were to achieve their aspirations, they would never act in such a way. By doing so, they would not feel intimidated or disheartened.
