The four sentences of "The Bird Will Die" refer to a person or a thing, and when it comes to decay, there are often sparks of kindness in action.

Mencius, who has long been regarded as the orthodox Confucian school, believed that the goodness of nature can be verified by the universal mental activity that every human being has. Since this kind of mental activity is universal, it is justified and comes from human nature and nature, which Mencius called "conscience" and "good ability".

Zeng Shen, as a Confucian master of a generation, is also the protagonist of this case, and it is precisely the most forceful argument for the theory of sexual goodness, which is proved through human psychological activities.

Eventually, the Analects will be recorded in order to disseminate ideas.
