People on earth are good at living. The same nature varies from upbringing to upbringing.
Interpretation: At the beginning of birth, people are all kind in nature and similar in essence. Just because of the different environment and education, their habits are very different.
Good nature is a word. Confucius' remarks in "Water and Faith are inseparable from Things" acknowledged human nature, but did not say what human nature was. Written by Mencius.
Xunzi believes that human nature has evil moral value, thus emphasizing the necessity of moral education.

The influence of the theory of evil nature;
The theory of evil nature is not as popular as the theory of good nature. In fact, just as the theory of good nature does not make people do good automatically, the meaning of the theory of evil nature does not allow people to do evil at will. The original meaning of evil nature refers to the inherent survival instinct of human beings as creatures. If a creature wants to survive, it must be born.
Since life must be demanded, there is no need to deny it and avoid it. Xunzi's practice is just not inevitable. From this perspective, Xunzi pointed directly at human nature, which is more "people-oriented" than Mencius' multi-party argument. Mencius' theory began with the theory of good nature and ended with a slight distance from Yang Mo. Xunzi bears the notoriety of sexual evil, but it has more rationality.
The theory of evil nature does not necessarily bring bad influence to society.
