What is the difference between Xunzi and Mencius' view of heaven and man?

The concept of "Heaven and Man" is an important issue in the study of China's ancient philosophy. Some philosophers understand heaven as nature, so the relationship between man and nature refers to the relationship between man and nature. The corresponding philosophical views are roughly divided into two factions. Some people, such as Taoists, especially some figures of Zhuangzi School, think that people are passive in the face of nature. Therefore, it advocates inaction and absolutely conforms to the natural process. Another group of people, such as Xunzi in the Warring States Period and Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty, affirmed people's subjective initiative in nature and advocated "controlling destiny and using it", that is, using natural laws to benefit mankind. (2) Mencius' principle of "caring for people and caring for things". Confucius advocated that "a monarch should have livestock". Mencius not only advocated "loving things", but also gave full play to Confucius' benevolence thought, and clearly put forward and answered the relationship between ecological morality and interpersonal morality for the first time. Mencius put forward the viewpoint of "being kind to the people, being kind to the people and loving things". He said: "A gentleman is to property, love him, serve him, be kind to the people and love him. Be kind to the people, be kind to the people and love things. " [2] (3) Xunzi's principle of "love things and save money". Xunzi regards ecological protection as the basis of "kingly way", which is the noblest and most sacred value choice in the development of human society. He believes that in order for nature to provide more material wealth for mankind, it is necessary to apply the spirit of Confucianism to all things in the world and establish a good management system. Xunzi put forward the idea of "the mountain forest is bright, and the hair is forbidden at the right time" to let animals reproduce normally. Source: Western Prose
