Chapter 90: Looking for Mojia Mojia Technology

Gu Xiaolong's great interest in the Mo family is mainly in two aspects, one is that the Mo family has made significant contributions to science and technology in the Blue Planet BC, which can be called the ancient Da Vinci of country C; The second is that the spirit of the ancient rangers, that is, chivalrous, who is more interested in is also from the Mo family.

Mozi was good at craftsmanship and production, and was superior to other princes in military technology, and could be called erudite and talented. It is said that he was able to cut three inches of wood into a bearing that could carry 300 kilograms in an instant. According to "Han Feizi? The outer prince said that the upper left contains: "Mozi is a wooden kite, which is made in three years and defeated in one day." He used the principle of levers to develop orange trees, which were used to lift water. He also manufactured wheels, pulleys, and ladders, among others, which were used in production and the military. He was also adept at the technique of defending the city (the so-called "Confucian"), and his disciples summarized his experience in the twenty-first chapter of the Castle Guard.

According to the record of mechanism art in "Mozi", the mechanism equipment invented by the Mohists at that time were: 1. Repeater car - seen in "Mozi? Prepare for the Pro. The crossbow cart is a large mechanical device that can be released at the same time with 60 large crossbow arrows and countless small crossbow arrows placed on the city wall, which requires ten people to drive, and the most ingenious is that the tail of the crossbow arrow with a length of ten feet is tied with a rope, and it can be quickly rolled up and withdrawn with a roller after shooting.

2. Transijector - Seen in Mozi? Prepare the city gate". The transigrapher is also a large transmitter placed on the city wall, six feet long, and operated by two people. Unlike the Ballista, the Relay Machine is more flexible. Ability for one person to rotate the frame while another person shoots an arrow.

3. Borrowing a car - seen in "Mozi? Prepare the city gate".

The exterior of the car is clad with iron. Some of them are buried in the ground, and they are machines that can shoot charcoal, and they are controlled by multiple people to defend against enemy siege teams.

The actual mechanics are obviously not as magical and amazing as in the game, but with the productivity of more than 2,000 years ago, it is not easy to design and build such a complex machine.

Love, non-attack, Shangxian, Shangtong, thrift, funeral, non-music, Tianzhi, Ming ghost, non-fate, I think it should be a compulsory course in this school.

After Mozi's death, the Mo family was divided into three major factions. They are the ink of Xiangli, Xiangfu and Deng Ling (see "Han Feizi? Xianxue). The main ideas are to talk about debate, engage in and tell stories, in which to talk about debate is to debate, to engage in is to study science, and to talk about books is to teach and study various classics. They each thought they were authentic, on par, no one was convinced of the other, and even poured into each other's nests and fights. caused the vitality of the Mo family to be greatly damaged. In the late Warring States period, the three factions of the Mohists converged into two branches: one was transformed into the rangers of the Qin and Han dynasties. The other focuses on the study of epistemology, logic, mathematics, optics, mechanics and other disciplines, which is called "Mohist Post-Studies", also known as "Later Mohist".

It is a pity that in the following time, that is, from the unification of the Six Kingdoms of Qin to the early years of the Qing Dynasty, Moxue entered the lowest ebb. Moxue is basically in a stagnant stage, and there are only a handful of people who can control ink, and the ones that can be found are: Lu Sheng in the Jin Dynasty, Letai in the Tang Dynasty, He Wu in the Song Dynasty and Lu You in the Yuan Dynasty. These names are very unfamiliar, and they can be described as "rare". Of course, the reasons for this include Qin Shi Huang's policies of taking the law as a religion, burning the books of a hundred schools, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's deposing of a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone, but there are also internal reasons for the failure of the Mohists themselves to maintain their vitality and vitality to meet the needs of social and historical development.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to implement the spirit of the Mohists who take the world as their own responsibility, and the unique giant organization of the Mohists is already a mysterious organization in disguise, which is neither as good as the ideal of Confucianism to govern the world, nor as deep rooted in the heart as Taoism, and even less as Legalism can be skillfully applied to politics, so the Mohist thought slowly declined.

However, the Mohist spirit has not been lost, but has been passed down at the bottom of Chinese folk society. The knights after the Han Dynasty were the inheritors of the Mohist spirit of "love and love". The spiritual source of Chinese poems and chivalrous novels that praise the spirit of chivalry is closely related to Mohist thought.

This set of five "families", a founder in one Mozi is a descendant of the Muyi clan (Muyi is Moyi, the later province is the surname Mo), after the Guzhu Jun, and the Song monarch of the same clan, but by the Mozi generation, its status has been reduced from a nobleman to a commoner. Mozi worked as a craftsman in the manufacture of utensils. He called himself a "contemptible man of the north" (Lü's Spring and Autumn Period? Love"), known as the "man of cloth" ("Lü's Spring and Autumn Period? Bozhi) and "slut" ("Old Things in the Palace" has a different meaning than the "slut" that scolds people today). From Mozi's self-proclaimed saying that "there is no matter of the king, there is no difficulty for the cultivators", he is also a scholar who sympathizes with "people of agriculture and industry". Mozi once learned Zhou rites from the descendants of Zhou Guan Shijiao, "cultivating the art of the first saint and mastering the six arts". But later, he gradually got tired of the cumbersome etiquette of Confucianism, and finally "used Xia Zheng against the Zhou Dao", abandoned Confucianism, "Faxia Zongyu", and founded his own Mohist school. Even from today's point of view, his choice is very bold.

Mozi's travels were extensive, from Qi in the east, Zheng and Wei in the west, and Chu and Yue in the south. Luyang Wenjun wanted to attack Zheng Guo, but Mozi knew about it and went to reason and persuaded Luyang Wenjun to stop attacking Zheng. He "traveled south to make a guard" and preached "accumulators" to prepare for the defense. He also visited the state of Chu many times and dedicated his book to King Chu Hui. But later he refused the fief given to him by the king of Chu and left the state of Chu. Mozi came to the State of Qi in his later years and tried to persuade Xiang Ziniu to crusade against the State of Lu, but was unsuccessful. The king of Yue invited Mozi to be an official and promised him a fief of 500 li. Mozi took "listen to my words and use my way" as a condition for going, and did not care about fiefdoms and lords.

The most famous and well-known is the story of "stopping Chu and attacking the Song Dynasty". In the early years of the Warring States Period, King Chu Hui intended to attack the Song Dynasty, Mozi asked to see King Chu Hui, stated the relationship, and used the belt as the city wall and the small wooden plank as the siege equipment in front of the King of Chu Hui and the public, and compared the techniques of attacking and defending the city, and came to a wonderful offensive and defensive "polemic", which finally prevented the Chu State from attacking the Song State. During this period, Mozi's eloquence was certainly excellent (the pre-Qin scholars learned the name of Mozi to really achieve perfection, and became the three major logical systems with the ancient Greek Logos and Tianzhu Yinming). But it plays a decisive role. It was also his defensive equipment and the strategy of letting three hundred people, including his disciple Yu Slippery, defend Song City.

In the early years of the Warring States period, the state of Chu was a powerful country. The military plans of such a great country were unexpectedly changed by the power of the Mohist school. It can be seen that the Mo family had considerable strength and influence at that time.

Before the rise of Legalism, which represented the interests of the emerging landlord class, Mohism was the largest school of thought in opposition to Confucianism in the pre-Qin period, and was called "Confucian and Moxian Studies". Mencius once said: "The words of Yang Zhu and Mo Zhai are all over the world, and the words of the world are not returned to Yang, but they are returned to Mo." ”

According to the Book of Han? The Art and Literature Chronicle records that the Mohist school came from the Qing Temple's Shou (Zhangshou Zongmiao), that is, Wu Zhu, and had a strong religious tendency. Mozi's thought has a total of ten propositions: love, that is, those who govern the country should "promote the interests of all people." remove the harm of all peoples", advocating undifferentiated love; non-offensive, that is, the negation of unjust wars ("attack") and the affirmation of just wars ("punishment"); Shang Xian, advocating that "officials are impermanent, and the people are not cheap", should be used on the basis of merit; Shang Tong, that is, "choose the virtuous person of the world and establish him as the son of heaven" to achieve social unity; Economical use. i.e. to save money; Festive burial, that is, against extravagant funerals; Fei Le. That is, to oppose the "ornamental music" of the aristocracy in power and the decadent and lascivious voices; Tianzhi, that is, to regard all natural phenomena as expressions of God's love for man; Ming ghosts, Mozi came to the conclusion that "ghosts and gods exist" on the grounds that some people "taste the things of ghosts and gods and smell the voices of ghosts and gods"; Mozi was the first among the pre-Qin thinkers to explicitly oppose the Confucian "theory of fate", believing that "clinging to destiny is the great harm of the world".

In 376 BC, Mo Zi, the founder of the Mo family, died. The disciples of the Mo family buried the body of the originator of the Kai School from Jane in the pine and cypress at the foot of Huxiao Mountain. His funerary goods were extremely simple, and the most valuable one was a manuscript of Mozi. Before his death, Mozi was very confident in the career he had fought for all his life and his own doctrine, and once exclaimed: "There is no one in the world, and Zi Mozi's words are still there." ”

The writings of Mozi and his disciples were compiled into seventy-one articles by Liu Xiang in the Western Han Dynasty, collectively known as Mozi. Among them, the six articles of "Sutra Shang", "Sutra Xia", "Sutra Shuo Shang", "Sutra Shuo Xia" and "Datori" and "Xiaotori" are dedicated to the famous debate and time, space, material structure, mechanics, optics, acoustics, algebra, geometry and other contents, and the predecessors called it "The Book of Ink".

The Book of Ink represents the highest peak of the development of Chinese science during the Warring States period. In terms of mechanics, the definition of mechanical motion is proposed in the Book of Ink: "Movement, domain migration." Meaning, the essence of mechanical motion is the movement of the position of an object, which is completely consistent with the definition of modern mechanical motion. At the same time, the Mohist school mastered the law of leverage two centuries before Archimedes. In terms of optics, among the vast historical works in China, the Book of Ink is the only classic book that systematically discusses the development of geometric optics in ancient China. The Book of Ink records the world's first "small hole imaging" experiment conducted by Mozi and his students, and makes incisive insights into the results of the experiment, which is the first scientific explanation of the propagation of light along a straight line. In terms of mathematics, the "Book of Ink" proposes some definitions of geometry, such as the definition of a circle in the "Book of Ink" cited in the middle school mathematics textbook: "A circle, one in the same length." This is completely consistent with the definition of a circle in modern mathematics, "the trajectory of a point at equal distance from the central point".

The inhabitants of Mojia Dazhai are a group that adheres to the Mohist ideology. In real history, the Mohists were the earliest civilian armed groups in China. There are hundreds of close disciples of the Mo family, and the supreme leader is called the "giant (juzi)", and the juzi has absolute authority. The position of the giant was passed on to each other by the recognized sages in the group, and Mozi was the first giant of the Mo family, and Mozi's eldest apprentice, the bird slippery who guarded Song City, was the second giant of the Mo family. The members of the Mo family are called "ink masters" and must obey the leadership of the giants.

Most of the ink writers come from the lower strata of society, can bear hardships and stand hard work, usually wear short clothes and straw shoes, participate in labor, "string feet calluses, face black", to endure hardships as a noble thing. They were diligent in experimenting, very brave in battle, and engaged in productive labor in peacetime, and their main occupations were teachers, craftsmen, etc. Mozi and his disciples did good deeds for people, even at the cost of their own lives. "Huainanzi" contains: "Mozi served one hundred and eighty people, all of whom could go to the fire and die without returning their heels." It means that you will not turn your heels and retreat until you die. And they are not rewarded for their achievements, and they do not seek to repay their favors.

The Mohists had a tightly organized and strictly disciplined group. During the Warring States period, the son of the tycoon of Qin broke the law, and the king of Qin forgave his son because of his old age. But the giant son put his son to death according to the law of the Mo. This shows that the discipline of the Mo family is very strict.

But the Mo family was not a samurai group born from chivalry. Rather, it is primarily an academic community. They were engaged in the common cause of ordinary travelers: to complete their studies, and then to lobby around, to influence the princes and nations with their opinions and eloquence, and to strive for the realization of their political ideas in order to make a contribution. For example, Mozi once made his disciples plough the pillar in Chu, You Gaoshi in Wei, You Gongsun Shang was too Yue, out of Cao Gongzi in Song, and made the victory of Qi Xiangzi Niu. It's very "read 10,000 books." The taste of "Ten Thousand Miles".

In fact, it is not an exaggeration to use modern students' "reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles" to describe the children of the Mo family. One of Mozi's five "families" is an "educator". The first comprehensive civilian school in human history with arts, science, military, and engineering was founded by Mozi before he was about 30 years old. This school has cultivated a large number of talents, and is known as "Disciple Mifeng, full of the world".

According to the record of mechanism art in "Mozi", the mechanism equipment invented by the Mohists at that time were: 1. The crossbow car is seen in "Mozi? Prepare for the Pro. The repeater is a large mechanical device that can be released at the same time with 60 large crossbow arrows and countless small crossbow arrows placed on the city wall, and it needs to be driven by ten people, and the most ingenious is that the tail of the arrow of the crossbow arrow is ten feet long and tied with a rope. After ejaculating, it can be quickly rolled up and retracted with a roller. 2. The transigrapher was found in Mozi? Prepare the city gate". The transigrapher is also a large transmitter placed on the city wall, and is six feet long. Operated by two people, the redirector, unlike the repeater, is more agile and can be rotated by one person while the other person shoots an arrow. 3. Borrowing a car is seen in "Mozi? Prepare the city gate". The exterior of the car is covered with iron, and part of it is buried in the ground, and it is a machine that can project charcoal fire, which is controlled by multiple people to defend against enemy siege teams. The actual mechanics are obviously not as magical and amazing as in the game, but with the productivity of more than 2,000 years ago, it is not easy to design and build such a complex machine.

The maker of these machines, Mozi, was born in about 468 B.C. and died in 376 B.C., named Zhai, and was called "Zi Mozi" in the book "Mozi", and was a native of the Xiaoyi State (successively a vassal of Song, Di, Lu, Qi and other countries) during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Mozi has a long list of rather intimidating titles: thinker, educator, scientist, military strategist, and social activist in the late Spring and Autumn Period and early Warring States period, and the founder of the Mohist school.

This set of five "families", a founder in one Mozi is a descendant of the Muyi clan (Muyi is Moyi, the later province is the surname Mo), after the Guzhu Jun, and the Song monarch of the same clan, but by the Mozi generation, its status has been reduced from a nobleman to a commoner.

It is said that he was able to cut three inches of wood into a bearing that could carry 300 kilograms in an instant.

According to "Han Feizi? The outer prince said that the upper left contains: "Mozi is a wooden kite, which is made in three years and defeated in one day." He used the principle of levers to develop orange trees, which were used to lift water. He also manufactured wheels, pulleys, and ladders, among others, which were used in production and the military.

During this period, Mozi's eloquence was certainly excellent (the pre-Qin scholars learned the name of Mozi to really achieve perfection, and became the three major logical systems with the ancient Greek Logos and Tianzhu Yinming).

The position of the giant was passed on to each other by the recognized sages in the group, and Mozi was the first giant of the Mo family, and Mozi's eldest apprentice, the bird slippery who guarded Song City, was the second giant of the Mo family.

And they are not rewarded for their achievements, and they do not seek to repay their favors. The Mohists had a tightly organized and strictly disciplined group.

During the Warring States Period, the son of the giant of Qin broke the law, and the king of Qin forgave his son because of his old age, but the giant son executed his son according to the law of the Mo, which shows that the discipline of the Mo family is very strict. But the Mo family was not a samurai group born from chivalry. Rather, it was mainly an academic society, and they were engaged in the common cause of ordinary travelers: to complete their studies, and then to lobby around, to influence the princes and nations with their opinions and eloquence, and to strive for the realization of their political ideas in order to make a contribution.

For example, Mozi once made his disciples plough the pillars in Chu and swim high stones in the guards. You Gongsun is still too Yue. Out of Cao Gongzi Yu Song. Make the victory a good thing, Qi country, Xiang Zi Niu. It has the flavor of "reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles". In fact, it is not an exaggeration to use modern students' "reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles" to describe the children of the Mo family. One of Mozi's five "families" is an "educator". The first comprehensive civilian school in human history with arts, science, military, and engineering was founded by Mozi before he was about 30 years old. This school has cultivated a large number of talents, and is known as "Disciple Mifeng, full of the world".

The ten propositions of Mozi's thought: love, non-attack, sage, shangtong, moderation, funeral, non-music, heavenly will, bright ghosts, and non-fate, should be compulsory courses in this school. After Mozi's death. The Mohists are divided into three major factions, namely the ink of the Xiangli clan, the ink of the Xiangfu clan and the ink of the Deng Ling clan (see "Han Feizi?"). Xianxue). The main ideas are to talk about debate, engage in and tell stories, in which to talk about debate is to debate, to engage in is to study science, and to talk about books is to teach and study various classics. Each of them thinks it is authentic, on par, and no one obeys the other. even poured into each other's nests and fights, causing the Mo family's vitality to be greatly damaged. In the late Warring States period. The three schools of Mohism converged into two branches: one was transformed into a ranger in Qin and Han society, and the other focused on the study of epistemology, logic, mathematics, optics, mechanics and other disciplines.

It is a pity that in the following time, that is, from the unification of the Six Kingdoms of Qin to the early years of the Qing Dynasty, Moxue entered the lowest ebb. Moxue is basically in a stagnant stage, and there are only a handful of people who can control ink, and the ones that can be found are: Lu Sheng in the Jin Dynasty, Letai in the Tang Dynasty, He Wu in the Song Dynasty and Lu You in the Yuan Dynasty. These names are very unfamiliar, and they can be described as "rare". Of course, the reasons for this include Qin Shi Huang's policies of taking the law as a religion, burning the books of a hundred schools, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's deposing of a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone, but there are also internal reasons for the failure of the Mohists themselves to maintain their vitality and vitality to meet the needs of social and historical development. Generally speaking, it is difficult to implement the spirit of the Mohists who take the world as their own responsibility, and the unique giant organization of the Mohists is already a mysterious organization in disguise, which is neither as good as the ideal of Confucianism to govern the world, nor as deep rooted in the heart as Taoism, and even less as Legalism can be skillfully applied to politics, so the Mohist thought slowly declined.

However, the Mohist spirit has not been lost, but has been passed down at the bottom of Chinese folk society. The knights after the Han Dynasty were the inheritors of the Mohist spirit of "love and love". The spiritual source of Chinese poems and chivalrous novels that praise the spirit of chivalry is closely related to Mohist thought.

As mentioned above, the Mohists have a strict organization, which is not suitable for rangers with free will and advocating personality equality, not to mention the complete theoretical system and rigorous logical thinking ability of the Mohists, which are by no means capable of "heavy spirit and light life" martial arts. This can be reflected in the situation of the water mirror. However, the Mo family has a close relationship with the growth and development of chivalry. First of all, the Mohists observed and studied the phenomenon of martial arts, and put forward a complete concept and theoretical proposition of "Ren Xia". Mozi? The scripture says: "Ren, the soldier will do what he harms himself and benefits." Note: "It is called Ren Xia." An important concept of "Ren Xia" was proposed, pointing out that Ren Xia was born in the "Shi" class, and martial arts was a part of the "Shi", which refers to the social nature of chivalry.

Mozi also concisely summarized the essence and core of the spirit of "Ren Xia" -- "doing what is beneficial to oneself", that is, harming oneself and benefiting others. Then, Mozi further elaborated on the practice of the spirit of Ren Xia: "Ren, for the evil of the body, for the urgency of adults." The translation of this sentence is: the urgency of doing what one's body hates in order to liberate others. That is to say, to be desperate to help the poor and solve problems for others, which is the code of conduct of chivalry. Mozi was very concerned about the phenomenon of martial arts that had just emerged, and made a systematic description of the chivalrous spirit and chivalrous behavior in a timely manner, arguing that they were reasonable, which undoubtedly provided a much-needed spiritual weapon for the newborn martial arts who were still using their lives and blood to explore the purpose of action. It can be seen that the ink artist is full of sympathy and affection for the appearance of martial arts. The Mojia group also took in some people who were close to martial arts.

For example, Suo Lu Shen, known as the "great cunning of the East", was accepted by Mozi's eldest disciple Yu Slip as a disciple of the sect. Another example is the brave warrior Qu Jiangzi "with a sword and a dangerous crown" to meet another disciple of Mozi, Hu Feizi. Hu Feizi explained the true meaning of bravery to Qu Jiangzi. Qu Jiangzi's heart was broken, "It is to untie the long sword, release the dangerous crown, and please learn for the disciples." Reading between the lines, these records preserve the Mohists' protection of the persecuted knights. And the abandonment of martial arts and education by some chivalrous people also injected fresh blood into the Mo family. More than 2,000 years have passed since the Mohist culture flourished, and now all that is left is a mutilated Mozi and all kinds of mysterious legends, but the spirit of the Mohists will never die, because it shines with the brilliance of humanity, and it will live on forever.
