Mozi said that when he saw the person who dyed silk, he sighed: it was pale in the sky and yellow in the yellow. People will change, and colors will change. Five people must, but it's five colors. Therefore, dyeing should not be sloppy. Dyed not only silk, but also the country.
Mozi watched people dye silk and lamented that the color of dye changed, and so did the color of silk. You can change it many times. His moral is not only dyeing silk, but also being a man and governing the country. It's like "making friends with good people is like entering Lan Zhi's room, but you can't smell its fragrance for a long time;" Making friends with the wicked is like being the boss of abalone, and it has the same effect if you don't smell it for a long time.
In the old days of itching, children were warned of the influence of environment on people. If children are allowed to keep a pure heart and learn good, they will become more and more intelligent and learn evil more and more vulgar. Similarly, there is the story of "Three Major Movements in Meng Mu". The purpose of this kind of education is to hope that children will not change from pure to diverse in the big dye vat of society, so that they can hold a pure heart.
Oppose the law and punishment
"Buddhism, so different, so lovely birthright. Resist the law. " Discussion: Tao Te Ching says: Law and discipline flourish and thieves abound. Jia: It is obvious to use the law, but it is extremely difficult to know the behavior of the ceremony. There is another cloud: when the law comes out, it is rape, ordering, and fraud. It is also good to divide it. "Punishment, so refuses to accept, so also gave birth to a sudden and violent. Counter-punishment. " Explain that this is the truth of the rule of law. Everyone has rules everywhere, and everyone has their own code or scope. This would have been good, but this is also the problem. As Tao Te Ching said: The more social laws and regulations, the more people break the law, the more complicated the laws and regulations, and the greater the gap and loopholes. In history, Qin Shihuang's laws were so strict that there were still people who rebelled. As soon as Emperor Gaozu entered Xianyang, all the decrees of Qin Shihuang were abolished. There are only three laws in three chapters: murder, injury and theft. There are three simple rules that the people have convinced him. Therefore, Jia Yi also said that the stricter the law, the more people break the law. Before some people want to do bad things, they should first look for loopholes in the law as the basis, and the bad things they do will become legal and the law cannot punish them. Laws are made, but sometimes it's easy to cheat. People who really break the law know the law, and laws and regulations can't help such people. This is good behavior. Punishment is different from law. Punishment means killing people, detaining people, or punishing people, giving them pain mentally and physically. This is to deter those who don't obey the law with punishment. But the executors will abuse the criminal law to bully others, and sometimes good people will be punished by the criminal law, which is the reaction of punishment.
As for anti-law and anti-punishment, it is actually Mozi's "non-attack" thought, which embodies Mohism's peaceful desire to oppose unjust wars, while anti-law and anti-punishment is to show Mozi's "non-attack" and "universal love" thoughts at the same time.
