Meng’s Argument Logic

Meng’s Argument is invincible and rigorous logic is important. Tan Jiajian recognizes that although Meng has a relatively complete formal logic theory like Mo, he is generally proficient in the use of formal logical thinking rules. The form of his articles is all about strict logical argumentation. Cheng Menggong uses the law of contradiction to argue. No one in the debate loses, Meng Meng. [2] The logic used in Meng's argumentation: (1) Layer-by-layer inference, step-by-step technique, specific argumentation, interspersed use of deduction, induction, anti-escapement, and self-introduction Sheng "King Hui of Liang": Meng said to King Xuan of Qi: "The king's ministers entrusted his wife to his friends. If the traveler from Chu is better than her, her wife will be cold and discouraged. Then why?" What should scholars do

Confucianism advocates that you should not see what is inappropriate and do not hear what is inappropriate. Don't say anything inappropriate and don't ask for etiquette in your speech and behavior. Meng can be strict with etiquette and should be flexible according to the actual situation. Compare the important aspects of diet and marriage with the minor details of etiquette. Diet and marriage are more important than etiquette. Although men are taught and accepted by marriage, it is a Confucian precept. Meng recognized his sister-in-law as drowning and aiding the wolf. The man granted the right to marry his sister-in-law and rescued the wolf ("Meng Li Lou")

Ren Meng Wulu said: If you follow the etiquette, you will starve to death; if you follow the etiquette, you will starve. When eating, you must act according to the etiquette. Follow the wedding rites to treat your wife; when performing the wedding rites, your wife must perform the wedding rites. Mangzhi of the house turned to Meng Meng for help and said: Guess the roots are equal, and the last inch of wood is higher than the loft. The house is heavier than the feathers. Is it possible to say that Gou Jin and Yu Yu say that those who take food with heavy weight and those with light etiquette are heavier than those with heavy etiquette? Those with heavy color and light color are heavier than those with light etiquette. If brother Zhen takes the food with his arm, he will eat; If he hugs his wife beyond the wall of his master's house, he will hug his wife; if he hugs his wife, he will hug him ("Meng Gao")

Meng Bing directly answered Ren's question and gave two examples to let Ren judge indirectly, that is, he should follow etiquette. When dealing with matters, you will never violate etiquette and act recklessly to harm the directors
