The scriptures of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have been passed down to the present, and there have been some changes, whether it is from the surrounding environment or the development of society, they have been completely different, and Confucianism seems to have adapted to such changes relatively well, and it has also radiated vigor and vitality, and has become the mainstream academic of the entire Han Dynasty.

But on the other hand, the Mohists, who used to be scholars with Confucianism, have sunk step by step, and there is no doctrinal reason for this result?

So if you give the Mo family a little bit of impetus now, can you change something?

If the Mohists in the Spring and Autumn Hundred Schools can change, does it mean that other schools of thought may also change?

The Mohist family has become a prominent school from its rise to its peak to its decline for about 300 years, and the time of its existence in the Han Dynasty is almost the same.

How many ink writers are there in history?

"One hundred and eighty Mozi servants, all of whom can go to the fire and die without spinning their heels", "day and night, with self-suffering as the extreme, there is no pulling, and there is no hair on the shins", the "one hundred and eighty people" mentioned here are only all the ink people who were martyred when Meng Sheng, the ruler of the Mo family, defended the city, not including the number of the entire Mo family.

When Mozi "stopped Chu from attacking the Song Dynasty" before, he said that the eldest disciple Gu Gu Ji led 300 people to defend the city in Song City, which shows that the Mo family brings hundreds of elites every time they appear. That rough estimate, plus the people guarding the base camp, may have at least 1,000 ink masters at their peak, as for the cap, there is no research for the time being.

Therefore, although the Mo family is in decline now, whether there are any people in the Mo family, and whether there are some elites, these things are still difficult to talk about.

In this consideration, since it was said, Fei Qian did not hide it, and simply said directly: "Ming ghost." There are gods in heaven and earth, and they need to be honored and sacrificed, but they still need good deeds to have good results. If the farmer does not plow, how can there be an autumn harvest? The gods can help the wind and rain to be smooth, but they can't help the wanderers to be idle. ”

The Mohists are completely different from the Confucian celestials, the Mohists put too much emphasis on the gods, while the Confucians secretly replaced them with the Son of Heaven, which is naturally more in line with the requirements of politicians.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, although there are still many things that the people cannot explain, such as thunder, rain, drought and other natural phenomena, it has gradually changed from being completely afraid of being at a loss to taking the initiative to change, taking the initiative to repair, and the emergence of water conservancy facilities, irrigation equipment, etc., is also gradually changing people's concepts.

Therefore, in fact, in addition to not meeting the requirements of the rulers, the most important thing is that the morality of the Mohists is too extreme, "heaven and the world and love it", which leads to the "will of heaven" as the basis for love, that is, "heaven" should love the world equally, so the Mohist morality requires that everyone should also love equally. Since there is heaven, there must be ghosts and gods, so "ghosts and ghosts".

The order of this theory is completely reversed.

But all religious scriptures must put the abstract and indescribable in the front, say it in the front, and then extend it to concrete things and matters little by little, and finally explain that the abstract and indescribable things before that are correct, sacred, and inviolable......

However, the Mohists put the specific affairs in front, and then in order to explain that the reason for doing these things is the heavens, ghosts and gods, this is completely upside down, resulting in the more you talk about it, the more unclear it is......

It's like the Taoists are also saying that "heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs; The saints are unkind, and they use the people as dogs. "Taoism also has equality, but Taoism is obviously more practical, and only saints can love the people of the world equally, and ordinary people can't do it.

Confucian benevolence naturally derives political hierarchies according to blood kinship, forming a complete hierarchical political system.

Not only did the Mohists not work, but also "love and love" violated human nature, and at the same time theoretically overthrew the old political system, but could not establish a new political structure, so it was difficult to become a tool used by the rulers, and it was inevitable that they would be abandoned by the rulers.

The main theories of the Mo family are these, as for other requirements such as frugality, they are all side details, and Fei Qian did not continue to say anything.

Mo Ji was silent, thinking.

“…… The top of the world is profitable...... Yao and Shun don't give the year, and Ji and Shun don't die......" Mo Ji muttered softly, and then let out a long sigh.

Fei Qian is also silent.

Mo Ji's previous sentence is a good thing about the Mo family, but the last sentence is about the loopholes in the doctrinal interpretation of the Mo family, so it seems that Mo Ji actually has some thoughts about his own Mo theory.

Mo Ji looked at Fei Qian deeply for a few moments, then suddenly smiled, stood up, and said: "I have heard that Zhonglang is smart and far-sighted, and I met today, and it is really true." After getting Zhonglang's words, he felt a lot of things, and he couldn't repay them, so he thanked him for this thing. After speaking, he took out a small piece of iron from the burden on his body and wanted to give it to Fei Qian.

Fei Qian hurriedly refused, and said: "If you talk nonsense, you have to listen to it, you are already lucky, how dare you take credit, you can't accept it." ”

How can someone else send something to accept it at once, of course, to be modest, but I didn't expect Mo Ji to smack his mouth twice, and actually stuffed the piece of iron-like thing back into the package, and then said with a smile: "Since Zhonglang doesn't accept it, then forget it...... After a long time, a certain should say goodbye......"

After speaking, he didn't wait for Fei Qian to make any moves, and quickly stood up and walked out.

Ah, I'll just be polite.

But now is not the time to worry about this, Fei Qian hurriedly stood up and chased after him, and said, "Please stay...... Please stay for the moment...... Ah, Juzi, Pingyang is in ruins, and it is in urgent need of Daxian governance, I don't know if Juzi is willing to go out......"

The reason why Fei Qian talks so much is not that he hopes to be able to leave Mo Ji, as the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and if he can leave a moment, it will attract a little bit of Mo people, right?

Moreover, according to the teachings of the Mo family, the people of the Mo family are simply the best official apes, with love, and treat the people in the jurisdiction as if they were their own family; Non-offensive, so don't worry about these guys rebelling; The most important thing is to save money, and not to embezzle and take bribes to swallow public property......

Therefore, Fei Qian saw that Mo Ji was really leaving, so he didn't care about what to implicit, so he invited directly, but he didn't expect Mo Ji to smile slightly, and then said: "A certain is a lazy person in the mountains and fields, and he is not good at governing the country and the people, so it is difficult to take on the important task, and I hope Zhonglang will forgive me." ”

After speaking, he nodded to Fei Qian again and walked away......

Leaving the fiji latent wind messy.
