Chapter 272: Mozi is suspicious

"According to what you said, if the containment really existed, it was there as early as the time of the Yanshi, and then it was passed on to the public loss team after six hundred years, and then it was given to Mozi, and then it disappeared because the Mo family was severely suppressed and completely annihilated, right? Mo asked with a smile.

Ying Fei said: "That's too long, there's no need to involve everything, at least there are clear records in the pre-Qin period." The matter of Yanshi making prostitution, we modern people can be said to be made up by Liezi, but Liezi is familiar with the palace notes of the Zhou royal family, if it is nothing, it means that he is arranging the affairs of the deceased ancestor King Zhou Mu, this behavior is not a trivial matter. ”

"The story of Yugong moving mountains, it is no problem to say that he made up a fable, after all, it is about an ordinary person in the mountain, and it is very philosophical. But King Mu of Zhou hated the matter of puppets seducing and seducing his concubines, if there was no record in the notes of the royal palace, was this something that Liezi dared to preach just out of thin air? At that time, it was still the world of the Zhou royal family, and Zheng Guo was also one of the princely states surnamed Ji, so Liezi dared to make it so purely?"

"It's not that the royal family will make trouble for him, just in public opinion, there will be countless gentlemen who will reprimand and ridicule King Zhou Mu in a vain manner, this is simply challenging the bottom line of the gentleman, and there will be countless literati who will spray this 'keyboard man' to death at that time, and they will be guilty of this. ”

"Compiling fables on the head of King Zhou Mu was not allowed in the social atmosphere at that time, unless...... In the palace notes of the Zhou royal family, there is a clear prototype. Maybe even the more learned people at the time knew that there was such a thing. ”

Otherwise, I don't think Liezi would write a philosophical thing out of thin air. ”

Mo Qian listened to Ying Fei's words and lowered his head in contemplation.

When Ying Fei said this, it felt so reasonable......

The prostitution of the Yanshi is likely to be a fact mixed in many fables.

This kind of thing, modern people seem, is like a fable imagined by Liezi's brain. But is this really an allegory? What's the philosophy? What is the reasoning?

The fable of Xue Tan Xuezhen is to tell people that there is no end to learning any skill, and don't be complacent with a little achievement.

The fable of Yugong moving mountains is to tell people to persevere, and where there is a will, there is a way.

The fable of Bian Que's heart-to-heart exchange is to tell people that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and they should learn from the strengths of others to make up for their own shortcomings.

"Yanshi makes prostitution, emmm ......" Mo Qian thought for a long time, but he didn't expect what truth this story told.

If I have to say it, it is the last sentence of this fable: After Lu Ban and Mozi heard about Yanshi, they didn't dare to mention their superb skills anymore.

Is this the philosophy that Liezi wants to say? If so, isn't it a repetition of 'Xue Tan Xue'? And it's not as good as that one.

Because Yanshi made prostitutes to a large extent throughout the article, Yanshi offered wooden prostitution to King Mu of Zhou, only the last sentence slightly mentioned Lu Ban and Mozi were ashamed, and no longer mentioned the art of wooden armor.

It would be too far-fetched to say that the central idea is to make people not complacent.

Isn't it good to have 'Xue Tan Xue Xuan'? Why bother to write a lot about Yanshi and move out the deceased king?

It is better to say that Liezi is expressing: Mozi and Lu Ban are nothing great, when Yanshi gave King Zhou Mu a wooden prostitute, she can sing and dance better than real people, and even tease King Mu's concubine. These two people are not the pinnacle of the art of wooden armor, but Yanshi is.

Ying Fei said: "This is more like Liezi is showing off what he saw in the palace note, and he is really hammering Mozi's small skills in carving insects." ”

"This ......," Mo Qian smiled, and he didn't take it seriously.

"It's a pity that Lu Ban died early and didn't see what Liezi said, and Mozi didn't know if he saw it. However, Mozi's spirit lies in studying the principle of the art of wooden armor, and even if he sees it, he will not care what Liezi says. Liezi didn't understand Mozi's thoughts at all, and the real hammer didn't hammer to the point. Yingfei said.

"Oh, are you saying that Mozi's inventions are more practical and explore principles?" asked Mozi.

Ying Fei nodded and said: "Yes, Mozi once reprimanded the things made by the public loss class for not benefiting people, and making a flying wooden bird is not as good as the wooden seat made by ordinary craftsmen, and the wooden seat is mounted on the axle, and the car can carry something that weighs fifty stones." And what is the actual function of the wooden bird? What the carpenter makes is good for people and is called clumsy, but not good for people. ”

This is Mozi's attitude, and it can even be said to be close to the spirit of science. Therefore, Mozi built crossbow machines and ladders, four-wheeled vehicles and balances, pistons and resonators, and even made research on optics and mechanics, as well as early atomic theory...... I think that even if Mozi is a user of the containment object, when he sees what Liezi said, he will probably only sneer: You don't understand what I want to do at all, it's not that I'm not as good as Yanshi, it's that Yanshi is not as good as me. Don't compare me to Yanshi, he's just a mediocre man who makes playthings to serve the powerful. ”

"Mozi's "Chronicles of Heaven" has made it very clear that heaven encompasses all things in the universe, and the will of heaven is the law of nature. His mind itself is a materialist with a scientific spirit, but he is also a ghost...... He combined the laws of nature with the human mind, and expounded a theory that was both idealistic and materialistic. ”

Mo Qian said: "This is Mozi's desire to use ghosts to restrain people's hearts in order to save the chaos of etiquette and happiness. To respect the heavens and ghosts, so that people do not do evil things. ”

Ying Fei said: "Could it be that before he proposed the Ming Ghost, the sentient beings didn't believe in ghosts and gods? Retribution for good and evil, the heavens and ghosts do not repay, the Mo family comes to retribution. Facts have also proved that Ren Xia's role is even greater, at that time, the disciples of the Mo family walked the world, like the sun is in the sky, and the magnates of various countries would rather fool the ghosts than dare to fool the disciples of the Mo family. Because ghosts may not necessarily come to the door to take revenge, but the disciples of the Mo family will definitely abandon their families and children and kill them with swords. ”

"In the heyday of the Mo family, wherever there was ink, the law and order was surprisingly good. For if he kills a man for no reason, when the ink hears about it, he will take up his sword in return. If you kill an inker, all the inkers within a radius of 100 miles will take the initiative to put down their hoes and go home to find a sword. If you kill all the ink people within a hundred miles, the whole country will gather here, or even more...... There is a kind of person who kills all the ink in the world, otherwise the powerful will definitely die, and the king will not be able to keep it. ”

"The thing about ghosts is just to use ghosts to deter the world, but in fact, it is tens of millions of ink people who deter the monarchs of various countries. ”

Mo Qian knew what Ying Fei meant, if the ghost was useful, it wouldn't be rude.

It is better to strengthen people's fear of ghosts and gods than to strengthen morality in Confucianism.

Since Mozi is a hero, it is impossible not to know that Ming ghosts are useless, judging from what he has done, he is clearly a pragmatic person. It is clear that the sword of the ink man is more useful than the heavenly ghosts who supervise the world and follow the will of heaven.

"You want to say that Mozi oscillates between materialism and idealism?" asked Mo Qiao.

Ying Fei shook his head and said: "No, Tianzhi is his worldview, and Ming Ghost is also his worldview, he just added Tianzhi to make up for his own theory in the natural law of Tianzhi, because he feels that the natural law alone cannot explain all the doubts in his heart, and he must add an idealistic variable that changes according to people's hearts, so that his 'cosmic model' tends to be round." ”

"That's the idea...... What's the difference with Newton?"

As a member of the Blue and White Society, he certainly knew that Newton was a pioneer of the Blue and White Society's ideas, and that Newton's study of theology in his later years was because the shelter subverted his materialist view of science.

Newton was like that because he came into contact with the containment, not because he was old and wanted a sustenance.

So...... What did Mozi come into contact with?

"Mozi is a researcher with a scientific spirit, and unlike Yanshi, what he pursues is not how lifelike the product of the art of wooden armor is, but why...... That thing...... It is possible to create wooden armor artifacts. Mo Qian said along Ying Fei's train of thought.

Infina was overjoyed: "That's right! He's the same as Newton...... No, it was Newton, like him, who was studying containment in a scientific spirit. You and I know what the consequences are. ”

Of course, Mo Qian knew that if he used a scientific attitude to study the containment, he would inevitably be at a loss.

Because containment objects often have an idealistic variable, such as a reversal song that reverses physiology according to the inner gender cognition. If you think you're a man, you'll be a woman. What kind of idealism is this?

There are even some containments where the definition of 'one' is determined directly by the holder. For example, if a person's lower body is completely annihilated, is the remaining part considered a 'person'? As far as Mo Qian knows, there is a containment object that will be judged according to people's hearts, causing two people to use different effects, because one thinks that it is 'half a person', and the other thinks that it is 'a person', but the lower half of the body is destroyed.

Even the Blue and White Society couldn't figure out why the containment was like this, let alone Mozi, and it was impossible to know why.

"Mozi must have possessed the containment, but he also has a scientific spirit, so he wants to study the 'Heavenly Will', that is, the laws of nature, from the containment. He did it, after all, it was the art of wooden armor, and it was normal to summarize some principles of optics and mechanics from it, as well as to figure out the principles of crossbow machines and the like. But at this point, he couldn't study the thing itself and the products of the wooden man and the like derived from it. ”

Therefore, he felt that Tianzhi was still flawed, and that not everything in the universe was in the natural laws of materialism, and an idealistic variable had to be added. That's the heavenly ghost...... A kind of heavenly will that is really transferred by the will of man, that is, the absolute characteristic. ”

After listening to Ying Fei's speculation, Mo Qian sighed with emotion.

I have to say that this guy can say that he has allocated money several times to support him in finding the 'Art of Wooden Armor', and he is really capable.

These things he said were enough to impress the Blue and White Society, and spend a few bucks to support it.

What if you find it?

However, INFINAIR has been looking for several years but has not found it, and now it is no longer supported.

"My special funds are gone, and the authorities don't let me find and excavate the ancient tombs of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties without authorization. ”

"But I didn't give up, I found an ancient tomb some time ago, pre-Qin's, and it was on the route of Qin Shi Huang's eastern tour. Because it's not a noble tomb, it seems to be just an ordinary person's tomb, but it's surprisingly large, so I'm going to dig it up privately......"

"Ahem...... Can you support some funding, brother?"

"......" Mo Qian had a strange face.
