Philosopher Mencius, also known as Mengzi, was a Chinese philosopher of the Confucian school who lived during the Warring States period in the 4th century BCE. He relocated three times during his childhood as his mother sought a suitable environment. When they lived near a cemetery, his mother found him conducting burials. After residing near a market, he pretended to be a merchant. Ultimately, his mother moved him to a school, where he pursued his studies.
