Mencius, however, tended to emphasize Confucius’s virtue, whereas Hsun Tzu emphasized his learning. Although Hsun Tzu thus honors Confucius, he sharply attacks Mencius.

When he was 50 years old, he first came to spread his teachings abroad in Ch’i (Qi) (in present Shandong province). The Yin-yang school was already prevalent at that time.

It was just during this age of superstition that the Confucian school, which after Mencius had lacked eminent scholars, became rejuvenated with Hsun Tzu, who was the most skilled of all the ancient Chinese philosophers in criticizing other philosophical schools,
孟子死后， 儒者无杰出 之士。在当 时的中国哲 学家中，荀 子最善于批 评哲学。
Co remarkable learning and erudition contributed greatly toward the development of the classical studies that were carried on later during the later Former Han dynasty.

Hsun Tzu, like Mencius, paid honor to Confucius and believed in the conservation of the Zhou institutions.

二、荀子对于孔子、孟子之意见 Attitude toward Confucius and Mencius
Company Logo
Hsun Tzu regarded his contemporaries as men who were clear-sighted on some points, but blind on others. In contrast to such men of ‘perverted knowledge’, Confucius ‘was benevolent and wise and was not blind’.
孟子与荀子皆尊 孔子。荀子认为 孔子为最能“全” 能“尽”能“粹” 者。他认为当时 诸家，皆有所见 同时有所蔽。

孔子仁智且不蔽， 知“道”之全体。

On this point Hsun Tzu was in full agreement with Mencius, who had said: “In Confucius we have what is called a complete harmony”.
