On brief reading I wonder if this is not taking out of context as well as comparing two wildly different philosophies. It seems Mengzi typically discusses lust as part of an inner quality when arguing righteous must come from inside before an external action occurs.

But then I found this and think I am wrong

https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%A3%9F%E8%89%B2%E6%80%A7%E4%B9%9F

Mengzi is most famous for arguing that human nature is originally good and thus corrupted by society. I wonder if he is saying delighting in food and sex is natural but these actions may be corrupted via society into bad acts of desire and lust.

I don’t know beyond the article I just read and cited. I’m sure it changed in the republic. It says they started a new system in the 1920s then in the PRC in 1980s. I’m sure the answer is them no that family of the author does not own it.

That said if one was to use details specific to modern Chinese or English translations I’m sure that is copyrighted
