Chapter 98: History is not recorded

The cheers from the audience continued for a long time, and Zhuang Zhou, who was standing on the podium and looking down, was very excited. He was still so short that the people standing above and below the podium could not see his whole body at all, only the top of his head and the upper half of his face.

After a long time, Shi Gong Yu picked up a horn and shouted down to make everyone quiet. Under his shouting, the crowd below gradually calmed down, waiting for his speech.

The trumpet tube in the hand of the bird is made of bamboo chips, and it is as long as a horn. The mouth speaks into the back of the trumpet, and the sound that comes out is loud and clear. It should be the most primitive megaphone in ancient times, and it was also invented by the clever disciples of the Mo family.

Yu Huali first admitted to the Taoist disciples and the people of the world that he had made mistakes in his later years and misinterpreted the Mohist doctrine. He expressed deep remorse and remorse for the tragedy caused by his own mistakes.

“…… I am a sinner of the Mo family and a sinner of history! I'm guilty! I'm willing to take full responsibility alone! I don't complain about spies! It's my fault, and I shouldn't have listened to my spy. As the heir of the Mo family and the helmsman of the Mo family, he should not listen to the slanderous rumors of the spies......"

There was silence in the audience, and then! There was a lot of discussion, and everyone was moved by the sincere repentance of the bird!

A centenarian, not arrogant, on the contrary! How broad-minded is it to dare to admit mistakes?

"I'm guilty! Please remember, historians! Take my fowl slippery as a warning! Wrong is wrong! Work is work! The work cannot be overdone! I hope that the historians will truthfully record the mistakes made by the Mo family during the period of the poultry slippery presiding over it......"

Before he finished speaking, the audience was boiling again.

Everyone is talking about it, thinking that the merits and demerits of the poultry can not only be offset, but also greater than the demerits! It was the bird slippery who helped Mozi's predecessors to strengthen the Mo family, and it was the bird slippery that helped Mozi's predecessors to defend the Song Kingdom, prevent one war after another, and let the people of the Song Kingdom live a life away from the flames of war.

Bird Slippery was at fault in his later years, but he can't be blamed entirely. The main reason is that the spies are making trouble in it, deliberately misinterpreting the Mohist doctrine, deliberately creating contradictions, and making the Mohists and Taoists kill each other.

It is precisely because of the frankness of the bird slippery and the speech of the bird slippery that the historian did not write down much about his deeds, and did not want future generations to comment on his merits and demerits.

After Yu Huali finished speaking, Yang Zhu took the microphone and admitted his mistake, he should not have fought back against the Mo family and killed so many Mo family swordsmen. should be "inactive and passive", dodge, and learn the art of Huang Lao.

In fact! In this battle between Taoism and Mohists, Taoists have always been in a passive state, and they have to act only as a last resort under the persecution of Mohists. But? The world doesn't think so. If the world thinks you killed, you are at fault! So! Yang Zhu had to pander to the world and admit that he was wrong. Only in this way can we gain the understanding of the world! Otherwise! You will only be more misunderstood, and you will only make people think that you want to cover up.

It is precisely because of Yang Zhu's honesty that the historian did not record much about his deeds in Yang Zhu's speech, and did not want future generations to comment on his merits and demerits.

In fact! The Mo family's poultry slippery and the Taoist Yang Zhu have played a vital role in the development history of the Mo family and Taoism!

Especially Yang Zhu! For the development of Taoism, he was a very important key figure. It can be said! Without Yang Zhu, there would have been no prosperity of later Taoism and Taoism; Without Yang Zhu, there would be no Zhuang Zhou's achievements.

Zhuang Zhou is a personal disciple of Yang Zhu, who inherited all the doctrines and ideas of Yang Zhu, and is the orthodoxy of Taoism.

Since Zhuang Zhou, Taoist doctrine has undergone many fissions and multiple branches have emerged. The emergence of branches confuses the public, and many later scholars misunderstand Taoism. Let the status of orthodox Taoism fluctuate in the long river of history!

But! The status of orthodox Taoism has always maintained a place! Among the generations of Taoist heirs, there are still many people who can interpret correctly, and they maintain the status of orthodox Taoism.

It's a pity! Both of these historical figures ruined their historical fame because of the appearance of spies.

On the first day of the opening of the altar, there was the confession of Mo poultry slippery, and then the confession of Taoist Yang Zhu. Next, Yu Huali analyzed his mistakes in detail, talked about the current situation of the Mo family, and talked about the future direction of the Mo family. Next, Yang Zhu also analyzed his own mistakes in detail, talked about the current situation of Taoism, and talked about the future direction of Taoism.

Afternoon! Yu Huali and Yang Zhu respectively accepted questions from the world's talents.

The next day, Yu Huali began to formally explain the Mohist doctrine, correcting the parts that had been misinterpreted, mainly explaining the "non-attack" in the Mohist doctrine.

The Mohist doctrine has ten major propositions. That is: love, non-attack, Shangxian, Shangtong, respect for heaven, ghosts, non-music, non-life, thrift, and funeral. The Mohists believe that it is necessary to select the most suitable plan among the ten propositions in a targeted manner according to the different situations of different countries. If the country is in turmoil, Shangxian and Shangtong will be selected; If the country is poor and weak, it chooses to save money and bury it; Wait a minute.

Love: The Mohists require monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, and brothers to love each other on an equal basis, "love others if they love their bodies", and believe that the phenomenon of strong and weak, rich insulting poor, and arrogant and lowly in society is caused by the fact that people in the world do not love each other.

Tianzhi: The so-called Tianzhi is that heaven has a will, heaven loves the people, and if the monarch violates the will of heaven, he will be punished by heaven, otherwise, he will be rewarded by heaven.

Shang Tong: It is to require the people and the Son of Heaven to be the same as the will of heaven, to work together and implement righteous government.

Shang Xian: Requires the election of a sage as an official, and the election of a sage as the king of the Son of Heaven. The Mohists demanded that the monarch be able to be virtuous and empowered, and put forward the proposition that "the officials are impermanent, and the people are not cheap".

Economy: A view that the Mohists put a lot of emphasis on, and they attacked the extravagance and waste of the monarch and the aristocracy.

Festive burials: The Mohists opposed the Confucian custom of long-term funerals and heavy burials, believing that long-term funerals and heavy burials were not beneficial to society. It is believed that monarchs and nobles should live a clean and frugal life like the three generations of holy kings in ancient times. The Mo family requires the disciples of the Mo family to practice in this regard.

Fei Le: Mozi was extremely opposed to music, believing that although music was beautiful, it would affect farmers' farming, women's weaving, and ministers' handling of government affairs, which was not in line with the principles of the Holy King and the interests of the people, so he opposed music.

Non-fate: The Mohists believe that in order to recognize longevity, wealth and poverty, and the safety of the world, the control of chaos is not determined by "fate", as long as through the active efforts of people, the goal of wealth, nobility, security, and governance can be achieved.

The Mohists objected to the Confucian saying that "life and death are fateful, and wealth is in heaven", believing that this saying "has a life to make all the foolish people do". Mozi saw that this kind of thinking was wearing down and damaging people's creativity, so he proposed to be wrong.
