contention of a hundred schools of thought

Mohism is a school of philosophy in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in China and one of the hundred schools of thought. It was listed as a school specializing in "natural science" in hundred schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, and was juxtaposed with "famous scholars" and "mathematicians".

Mencius, a representative of Confucianism, once said that "the words of the world do not belong to Yang (Yang Zhu, a representative of Taoism), but to Mo (Mozi)", which shows the brilliance of Mohism in China. Yang Mo is originally two sides of the same coin, so Yang Mo complements each other. However, it is unfair for people to evaluate Yang Mo with Mencius' general way of thinking.

Mohism was born in the Warring States Period. The founder is Mo Zhai (Mozi). Mohism is a disciplined academic group, and its leader is called "tycoon". When its members go to various countries to serve as officials, they must implement Mohism and their salaries must also be dedicated to the group. Mohist school is divided into early and late stages: the early stage mainly involves social politics, ethics and epistemology, and pays attention to secular wars; In the later period, Mohism made an important contribution to logic and began to move closer to the field of scientific research.

The main ideas of Mohism are: equal love between people (universal love), opposing wars of aggression (non-attack), advocating economy, opposing extravagance and waste (frugality), attaching importance to inheriting the cultural wealth of predecessors (knowing ghosts) and mastering the laws of nature (ambition).
