Chapter 433: The Secret of the Mo Family (I)

The Mo family, Sun Yang is still very familiar with it, because when he was in college in his previous life, he once took an elective course about the academics of the Warring States Period, especially when it came to the chapter of the Mo family, it happened that he did not skip class and heard a lot of things.

In Sun Yang's impression, Mohist thought is centered on love, which means that everyone is equal and helps each other. He advocated "both and easy to differentiate" and opposed the Confucian concept of social hierarchy. The Mohists put forward the idea of "loving each other and benefiting each other", which means that the general public should treat others as themselves, love others as themselves, and love each other. And with the idealized ideological realm, to achieve the harmonious social relations that Mozi hoped for.

This idea is very good in Sun Yang's opinion, but during the Warring States Period, Huaxia was still in the slave period, if according to Mozi, let the monarch and the slave be equal? This is obviously impossible, so although Mohist thought was popular during the Warring States Period, no country was willing to implement Mohist thought to govern the country!

Another thing that the Mohists advocate is "non-offensive", which means very simply to oppose wars of aggression, resolutely oppose the bullying of weak countries by strong countries, and pursue peace!

But is it possible? If the monarchs of the Warring States period took Mohist thought as the principle of governing the country, I am afraid that now China is not a unified country, whether there is such a large territory, I am afraid that there will be a question mark!

To tell the truth, although Sun Yang admires these ideas of the Mo family very much, but he looks down on them very much, what the Mo family pursues is just a perfect ideal world, which is impossible to achieve at all, even if you enter the modern society, the world is not in constant conflict, it is very simple, where there are people, there is fighting, and people are selfish!

I'm afraid that the only thing that can best reflect the Mohist thought is the legendary Peach Blossom Spring!

It is precisely because of this that although the Mo family spread widely, but never stepped into the center of the historical stage, with the Qin Shi Huang unified China after the burning of a lot of Mo books, coupled with the Han Wu Emperor deposed the hundred schools, the exclusive respect for Confucianism, the Mo family gradually withdrew from the stage of history, until now completely disappeared.

Therefore, Sun Yang and Xun Yu were so shocked when they heard Xu Zhuang say the word Mojia!

"Master Xu, are you talking about the Mo family that has been handed down from the Warring States period?" Xun Yu reacted first, and asked with a hint of inexplicability.

"That's right, it's that Mo family!" Xu Zhuang seemed to have expected their reaction, and was not surprised, and replied very plainly, after telling this secret, he suddenly felt that the big stone that had been pressing on his heart for decades had finally landed, and the whole person was a lot more relaxed.

Sun Yang also gradually reacted, it had come to this point, he knew that Xu Zhuang had no reason to coax him, and there was no doubt that the force behind the Xu family was the Mo family!

Sun Yang can understand the seclusion of the Mo family, after all, it is now Confucianism, and the Mo family can only live in a corner of peace, but on the contrary, Sun Yang always feels that this Mo family is completely different from the one he knows, and even gives him a completely strange feeling!

"Master Xu, does this Mo family still advocate both love and non-aggression now?" Sun Yang didn't dare to imagine, but he couldn't stop his curiosity.

Xu Zhuang first nodded, and then shook his head, as if he couldn't make up his mind himself.

"Master Xu, what do you mean by this?" Looking at Xu Zhuang like this, Sun Yang was even more confused.

"Junhou, Zhuang can't say it clearly, but Zhuang can tell you about the situation of the Mo family in the past few hundred years, maybe you can see it clearly." Xu Zhuang sighed, to be honest, he couldn't figure it out, the current Mo family is still not the Mi family that has attracted countless scholars......

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Xun Yu was also full of curiosity, although he was a Confucian scholar, he had also read several Mohist doctrines in private.

"It's a long story, since Emperor Wu deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism alone, the life of the ancestors of the Mo family has become more and more difficult, and they can't stay in Chang'an, so they left Chang'an and moved to the Central Plains, but because of the identity of the Mo family, the situation is the same everywhere, and they can't live, so the ancestors of the Mo family decided to live incognito and live in seclusion, so after several migrations, they came to the land of Jiangdong......" Xu Zhuang said with emotion, after all, this is also the history of their Xu family.

"After coming to Jiangdong, there are not many ancestors of the Mo family left, and their vitality is greatly damaged! However, after almost a hundred years of hibernation, the Mo family has gradually gained a firm foothold in Jiangdong, although it has not yet been able to go to the surface, but there is already a climate, and there is a force to be reckoned with in Jiangdong......"

"Wait, Master Xu, you said that it only took a hundred years for the Mo family to recover, so why didn't Jiangdong have any records about the Mo family in the next few hundred years?" Sun Yang interrupted Xu Zhuang's words, and the most puzzled thing about him was that he had rummaged through the records of Jiangdong, but none of them had mentioned the Mo family!

"Don't worry, Zhuang will talk about this next."

"Since the Mo family recovered in Jiangdong, there have been disagreements within the Mo family, some people think that Jiangdong is far away from the emperor's control, and the Confucian power in the territory is not strong, maybe the Mo family can slowly come to the surface, but others believe that now Confucianism has become the only doctrine in the world, and they do this is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and they advocate continuing to live in seclusion and wait for the changes in the world."

Xu Zhuang took a breath, and continued with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes: "Later, the Mo family gradually divided into two factions, one faction is the radical faction, and the other faction is the old faction, and the differences between the two sides are getting bigger and bigger, and the radical faction began to use the power in their hands to secretly train a group of killers and spies to prepare for their birth, and the conservative faction does not agree!" ”

"And then?" Seeing that Xu Zhuang stopped, Sun Yang continued to ask.

Later, there was a big conflict between the two factions, although the old faction won the right to speak in the Mo family, but it also suffered heavy losses, and the giant at that time did not pursue the radicals, so the radicals did not break their bones, and their strength is still there. After Juzi made such a decision, some people in the old school were discouraged, and almost a hundred years ago, they led their clansmen to withdraw from the Mo family. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Zhuang sighed heavily.

"The one who led the clan out of the Mo family was the ancestor of my Xu family, so our Xu family is not a member of the Mo family now, but we have not stopped communicating in the past hundred years, and we still have a lot to do with the Mo family."

Hearing this, Sun Yang also took a deep breath, he didn't expect that there were so many secrets in it!
