Chapter 509: Demonstration

According to Zhao Kuo's knowledge, there are nearly 100 Mojia classics, and there are countless celebrities and scholars, all over the Central Plains.

After all, the Mohists are a doctrine that can compete with Confucianism for hundreds of years, and even once had the upper hand, if the gap between the two is very far, how can the Mohists compete with Confucianism?

However, after more than 2,000 years of circulation, Mozi was the only one left on the list, and only the book "Mozi" was left in his writings, and it was still a fragment.

The rest of the sages and writings have all disappeared, as if erased by a big hand, and have never been in the world.

The historical record of Mozi is only a few 24 words: 'Gai Mo Zhai, the doctor of the Song Dynasty, is good at guarding the emperor, for the sake of frugality, or when he is said to be Confucius, or after him.

Fortunately, there has not been a deposition of the hundred schools of thought and the exclusive respect for Confucianism, and there may not be any deposition of the hundred schools and the exclusive respect for Confucianism in the future.

The Mo family is still alive and well, and they are alive and well than before.

"Who has the upper hand now, the Mohists or the Confucianists?" Zhao Kuo asked. Boom

"Evenly matched. The Mohists had the support of the Qin state, and the Confucianism had the support of the Wei state. Because of the large number of Confucianism and Confucianism, the Mo family is not connected, and it is faintly falling into the disadvantage. However, Qi Mo took advantage of the emptiness of Confucianism in the Jixia School Palace, and rose up with the trend, and there was a tendency to suppress Confucianism. Touching the dragon said.

The Mo family of Zhao was originally just a small branch, a few big cats with small cats, after eating the last meal, they almost announced their dissolution, although they later attracted a lot of talents from various countries, it was still difficult to compete with Confucianism in a short time.

However, the internal struggle between the two factions was also extremely fierce, and the Confucian group of people had always looked at Xunzi unpleasantly, thinking that Xunzi was rebellious. The three factions of the Mo family are also like fire and water, holding the Mo classics, accusing each other of being fakes. Back then, Qi Mo and Chu Mo wanted to enter Qin, but they were squeezed out by Qin Mo, and in the end they could only return to Qi and Chu in disgrace. Lin Xiangru said with a smile.

"It's good to have competition, but I'm afraid there is no competition." Zhao Kuo said as he walked. Whether it is external or internal competition, it is a process of deepening and improving.

If Mencius had not had the experience of debating and confronting countless famous scholars and sages in the Jixia Academy, it would not have been possible to perfect the theory of sexual goodness and become a Confucian sub-sage.

If Xunzi did not have the experience of Jixia Xuegong, it would be impossible for Xunzi to bring forth the new on the basis of Confucius and Mencius, and put forward and improve the 'law'.

Thoughts need to collide, and this collision plays a far more important role in progress than a person bored to learn.

Just like many netizens in later generations, when arguing with people on the Internet, the degree of seriousness is far greater than when they were in school and studying.

When I was in school, I couldn't even memorize an ancient poem, but in order to win arguments with others on the Internet, I was able to read the entire "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" once.

No matter what the original purpose is, no matter the final result, it is good to constantly enrich yourself and think more in the process.

However, the danger of debate in this era is much higher than that of the debate on the Internet in later generations, because everyone is face-to-face, and after many people lose, they will continue to stay in the school palace without shame, and they will roll up and leave.

Zhao Kuo did not go to the classroom, but went to the big ring in the center of the academy. There may be no one in the classroom, but there must be someone in the ring.

Even when Kemari is playing, many people come to see Kemari, and there is no shortage of debates in the ring.

"So many people." Before he arrived at the ring, Zhao Kuo saw a sea of people around the ring, and he didn't know how many people were watching the debate.

When Mo Feng was building the big ring, he obeyed Zhao Kuo's order and specially built a very wide grandstand around the ring, which was not only convenient for everyone to watch, but also surrounded the ring to facilitate the sale of tickets...... Most of the admission money is used by the academy for daily expenses, and the remaining part will be distributed to celebrities or disciples who come to the stage to debate, so that they can earn extra money.

Some celebrities were very disdainful, scolding Zhao Kuo for being greedy for money and making any money, and after the college distributed the ticket money to them, they silently increased the number of debates on stage.

The guards guarding the door were very discerning, and they let them in without asking Zhao Kuo and a few people for tickets. After entering the debate hall, Zhao Kuo saw two groups of people sitting in the stands, on the left were the Mo family children who were wearing short cloth and geshi clothes, led by Mo Feng, the giant of the Mo family.

On the right is a Confucian child in a Confucian robe, headed by Kong Bin, the sixth grandson of Confucius. The disciples of the rest of the schools were scattered in the middle.

It seems to be the Xiangli style of the Mo family and the Confucian Kong Qi. Xiang Lifeng is a great sage of the Mo family from the Qin State, who is familiar with the Mo classics and has the essence of the Mo family. Kong Qi is the nephew of Kong Chuan, the seventh grandson of Confucius, and he has not been famous before, but since Confucianism let him come to power, his strength must not be underestimated. Lin Xiangru looked at the two people on the stage and whispered.

"Confucianism is demonstrating to the Mo family, sending a junior to play, and if he loses, he should be experienced, and if he wins, the Mo family will lose face." Touching the dragon glanced at the direction of Confucianism and said angrily.

For various reasons, the relationship between Zhao and Confucianism has not been very good. King Wuling of Zhao's Hufu cavalry shooting has always been considered a deviant in the eyes of Confucianism.

After the Zhao Dynasty, the Zhao State destroyed the Zhongshan Kingdom, causing the Confucian road to 'WTO accession' to suffer a serious setback. Although Zhongshan was a country founded by the Di people, in order to integrate into the Chinese civilization, the country abandoned the customs of the Di people and used Confucianism to govern the country.

As a result, it didn't take long for King Zhao Wuling to destroy the Zhongshan Kingdom. Perhaps it is precisely because of the deviance of King Zhao Wuling that Zhao Guo's openness and pursuit of pragmatic style were created, which gave birth to Xunzi

"Improper" Confucianism. However, Xunzi was also not liked by Confucianism. Whether it is from the perspective of Zhao Guo or Xunzi's friends, Touch Long doesn't like this group of Confucians who are behind the etiquette and righteousness in front of the pile of poems and books.

"The Mo family can also send the younger generation to play." Zhao Kuo found a place to sit down at random, and said as a matter of course.

You send the younger generation, and I also send the younger generation, this is fair competition, in this situation, the Mo family is okay if it wins, but it is a big loss if it loses.

"There is only one possibility for the older generation of the Mohists to come forward, and the younger generation has already lost, or they know that they are not the opponents of Confucianism." Touching the dragon said in a deep voice.

After listening to the words of the touching dragon, Zhao Kuo looked to the left, and sure enough, most of the Mo family disciples were full of gloom on their faces, even if the wind on the stage had the upper hand, it could not make everyone happy.

"Mo Family...... Isn't it an opponent of Confucianism? Zhao Kuo frowned and asked. In order to support the Mo family, he stuffed a lot of people into the Mo family.

Forget about the older generation, Confucianism has a deep foundation, and the main foundation of the Mo family is not in the Zhao State, but in the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi, and Chu.

But can't even the younger generation compare to Confucianism? Boom
