Mencius is the one who associate Ren with human nature. He believes that all humans are innately gifted withe heart of Ren, which is produced by natural sense of commiseration. In his mind, every person has innate goodness. He also brings up the concept of "端", meaning that commiseration could lead to Ren, but not neccessarily makes Ren itself. The princely man is who he believes to achieve the human-heartedness. And he concludes three points to tell us how to be a princely man. 1. dialy accumulation, the harness of the source energy. 2. situational force, the external force. 3. self-restraint, the inner force.

2) the love of people from the governor ——the benevolent Ruling
Mencius expanded Ren, first proposed by Confucius and also associated with human nature:

The feeling of Commiseration the beginning of human—heartedness, which could lead to Ren, but not neccessarily makes Ren itself.
To nurture Ren：to nourish the vital energy, to accumulate righteousness

1. Expressives of Mencious's idea of Ren, the Confucius love : One's love for his kindred could be extend it to others. The love of people from the governor ——the benevolent Ruling
2. Mencius not only expands on Ren, first proposed by Confucius, but also associates it with human nature. Full of optimism, Mencius claims that all humans, as long as they are human, are innately gifted with the heart of Ren. He compares Ren with a body part of a person, and believes that it is produced by a natural sense of commiseration.
3. Mencius, who upholds the nourishing of vital energy, fully understands the importance of steady accumulation of goodness and righteousness in nurturing Ren.
4. For Mencius, to be a Junzi, does not mean o reach beyond what a man could ever be, except that a lot of them have lost their original commiseration and thus their "human-heartedness".
5. Suggestion on keeping the original goodness and breeding the“princely man”:
(1) Daily accumulation （the time frame）
(2) Situational force （the external factor）
(3) Self-restraint （the internal factor）
6. Such a cycle of transforming back to where one started again, brings us back to the yin-yang principle, the full development of yang turning back to yin, which figures the idiosyncratic Chinese mindset that conceptualizes things in a circular mode.

A lot of quotes from Mencius inspiring and enduring passed on today among people, which are expressive of Mencius's idea of Ren, the Confucian love. Full of optimism, Mencius claimed that all humans, as long as they are human, are innately gifted with the heart of Ren. He believed that it was produced by a natural sense of commiseration.
What distinguished a confucian gentleman from others is Ren, his human-heartedness.
How did Mencius suggest on keeping the original goodness and breeding a princely man?
1. One is to harness the energy in everybody, train it on a day to day basis until one can ride such an energy and make it working towards goodness. Such a training must be a routine and cannot be occational, or it will be impotent.
2.Situational force. Stay or position himself in a situation where one's human-heartedness could be aroused.
3.The last means to the shaping of a gentleman is through self-restraint.
These three points of cultivating a gentleman cover a set of regulatory elements that aim at a transforming of disposition, the internal factor, the inner restraint, and the external factor situational force. The time frame (day to day accumulation.)
But with all these efforts, a man is not to create gentleman out of himself. Instead, he just arrives at where he initially began the human heartiness. So this conclusion couldn't be more interesting. Such a cycle of transforming back to where one started again brings us back to the inn young principle, the full development of young turning back to in which figures the idiosyncratic Chinese mindset that conceptualize things in a circular mode.
