Chapter 378: Mo Daoji
The Mo Scholars are not afraid of challenges, although they were inexplicably brought out to compare with Yue Nu, and their strength was inexplicably questioned, but since they were in the technical field that the Mo family was good at, there was no reason for them to lose.
If you lose, you will indeed be embarrassed, and you will be ridiculed that the Mo family is not as good as the Yue girl, if it spreads, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the emerging Mo family. No matter why everyone compares the Mo family and the Yue Nu together, in short, the Mo family must show their strength, otherwise they will definitely be laughed at by the world. If the Mo family's skills are not as good as women's, then who will want to join the Mo family in the future?
However, Zhu Cheng's three major problems are not easy to solve, to be honest, even Lingbao Dao people don't know the answers, if he is still in the Xuan Realm, he only needs to pinch his fingers to make it clear, but now he can't figure it out.
The advantage of immortals over mortals is that immortals can skip the process and get the results directly, while mortals need to work hard to reap the harvest.
So now Lingbao Dao people also have to use mortal wisdom and mortal means to solve difficult problems, and they are really not used to it, so they feel like they have become toddler babies, they used to fly, but now they even struggle to walk.
"Don't we have a ladder? It is better to make a ladder to climb the tree, and the long rope shall prevail, and you can know the height of the tree. "As long as you can get to the top of the tree, it's not a problem to get the tree height.
The first problem is solved, and then the second problem is the weight of the boulder.
Mozi himself ran over and saw that the boulder was very huge, exceeding the capacity of all scales. This is very difficult to do, and Mozi is also worried.
The last one is even more difficult to distinguish between the two golden crowns, because the two golden crowns are exactly the same to the naked eye, and the weight is exactly the same.
The first problem can also find a solution, making a ladder. The second and third problems were pondered by the disciples of the Mo family, but they did not know how to solve them.
But it's really interesting, Mozi exclaimed: "This Zhucheng three questions are really extraordinary, the trees are taller than people, the boulders are difficult to move, and the golden crown is no different." "When I was studying Confucianism before, I met people from different countries, and I had heated discussions about circles, surfaces, and endpoints, which was very inspiring. Today is just like yesterday, and my heart is uplifted. ”
Lingbao Dao thought to himself, "Circle, surface, endpoint" What is there to discuss.
In fact, it is the definition of circles, faces, and endpoints.
"Mo Wei, listen to my explanation. Circles, surfaces, and endpoints understand people, and most of the people who can understand them are craftsmen. So we have to express it precisely in words, so that people can understand these things in words. Mozi explains why they are talking about 'circles, surfaces, and ends'.
Lingbao Dao people think that immortals don't have this need, if you want to tell the other party something that the other party has never seen, just watch it on demand, and directly share the memory with others. Whether it's the scent, the taste, the sound, or the pattern, it can make people feel like they're there.
Obviously, mortals do not have this ability, so mortals must express it precisely through words. But how can words alone convey aromas, tastes, sounds, and patterns?
The Terran language can only express simple content, but the Terran still has to work hard to master the language in order to better accumulate knowledge and pass on experience.
The reason why the immortals are so powerful is because many of the experiences of the immortals can be preserved intact, although it is not necessarily right, but the ones that have been passed down include smells, tastes, sounds, touches and patterns.
For example, if an animal goes extinct, humans will never know what that animal tastes like. But as long as the immortals have eaten it, they can retain the taste of this extinct animal, and even share it with other immortals.
If the Lingbao Dao people were lost, they seemed to understand that the essential difference between immortals and mortals was not only mana and lifespan, but also experience inheritance.
And it is precisely because of mortals that some things that are ignored by the immortals will be valued by the immortals, and those things that are taken for granted by the immortals may be more important than imagined.
For example, the way the immortals transmit information, to let people who have not seen the circle understand the circle, it takes a group of Mo disciples to discuss it and finally get a definition. And the immortal only needs a little bit to punch the form of a circle into someone else's brain.
"What is a circle?" Mo Wei wanted to know how mortals spread information.
"One middle school is the same as the same length." Mozi said, a circle, and the distance from each point on the circle to the center of the circle is the same.
When Lingbao Daoist heard this, he suddenly realized that a circle was formed in his heart, so he continued to ask, "What is a face?" ”
"The surface is flat, and the flat is the same height."
There are two points in space, and the trajectory of a third point of equal length from the two points is called a polygon. In the future, the definition of plane is like this, and Mozi's definition of plane is not rigorous enough.
But it also allows Lingbao Dao people to clearly think of the plane with the same height, and finally the endpoint, Mozi's definition is 'the body is not thick and the former is also'.
Of course, the contributions of the Mohists are not only that, these three are just the beginning, and then the Mohists will also define abstract concepts such as 'doubling', 'dream', 'time', 'space' and 'movement', so as to provide more dimensional rulers for human communication.
Confucianism is the moral ruler, and Mohism is the dimensional ruler.
The moral scale changes little, while the dimensional scale changes with the improvement of human ability to understand the world, which is also the reason why Mohist thought was not valued in the later period. After all, technology is developing, and no matter how advanced Mohist technology is in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is useless, and it will eventually fall behind in the future.
Dowki?! After listening to Mozi's words, Lingbao Daoist immediately felt that he had a Dao foundation in his body, but at this time, he was not surprised, but was deeply impressed by the Mo family's learning. Because he realized that mortals were accomplishing the great deeds of the Shawl Immortals in their own way.
Let people who have never seen a circle know what a circle is, and even express all the things that the human race can't see or touch in words. He understood the greatness of the Mo family and truly understood the purpose of worshipping immortals.
The existence of mortals reflects what is ignored by the immortals.
"Mozi Dacai, please accept my worship." Lingbao Taoist people sincerely salute.
Mo Zhai was also very happy to see that the other party was sincerely bowing, but their work had just begun, and there were still many things that needed to be defined that had not yet been defined.
The topic retracted Zhu Cheng's three questions, and now Mozi has only solved one question, but he is a person who sincerely pursues the truth, so he will not speak ill of Yue Nu because he can't solve it, and Yue Nu can. He was looking forward to how Yue Nu would solve the problem.
A group of people discussed for several days, but the last two questions were still unsolved, so on this day, all the people of Zhucheng gathered in the market square, where the Yue Nu invited the ink artist to do the question together.
Mo Zhai came on foot with his disciples, still with the image of his sleeves and trouser legs rolled up, his dark skin glowing in the sun.
On the other side, the Yue Nu long skirt mopped the floor, standing elegantly, and the five people were wearing the Yue national style of the lake blue Luo Qun, standing quietly like five ladies and clay figurines.
Although he is not pretty, his demeanor is dignified and impressive.
Yun Yao thought to herself that she used the way of public opinion kidnapping to push the Mo family to stand here, and when the question was answered, Mozi would definitely accept them to join the Mo family at that time.
Although some means have been used, it is so difficult for women to learn art these days, and it is really difficult to achieve it without means.
Mozi saw the scene and found that props had been prepared in the square, and it seemed that Yue Nu would use these props to answer questions later. Interesting and interesting.
