Xunzi's Focus on Moralization Shaping Society's Virtues and Vices
The Xunzi discusses the concepts of "wen" and "hua" in Confucian culture. "Wen" refers to various aspects like patterns, laws, and knowledge, while "hua" involves improving people's behavior through moral education and laws. Xunzi focuses more on moralization compared to Confucius and Mencius. This difference is due to their unique perspectives shaped by their times, characters, and beliefs about humanity.
