Abstract Mencius' jurisprudence is mostly political jurisprudence. His political jurisprudence can be perceived from three dimensions of Wang Dao (the kingly way), Wang Zheng (the kingly way of politics) and Wang Zhi (the kingly rule). Wang Dao has metaphysical characteristics and can be regarded as the theoretical basis of Mencius' political jurisprudence. Wang Zhi has physical characteristics and can be regarded as the institutional representation of Mencius' political jurisprudence. What lies between Wang Dao and Wang Zhi is Wang Zheng. This concept appeared in the early stage of Chinese civilization. It is not only representative of a political system, but also of great significance in terms of jurisprudence. Wang Zheng, with Wang Dao as its basis and Wang Zhi as its form, represents Mencius' vision of ideal polity. Mencius' political jurisprudence makes comprehensive, systematic and profound criticism on the political reality of going against Wang Dao, Wang Zheng and Wang Zhi, reflecting the essence and style of critical jurisprudence and creating the critical jurisprudence from the perspective of Confucianism. As an ideological mentor of his time, Mencius provided great spiritual resources comparable to political power and economic wealth of the time. For this reason, Mencius' critical jurisprudence is truly enlightening and inspiring.
