A: Confucianism and Mohism are the two most famous schools in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Later, Han Fei called them "outstanding schools". Confucius founded Confucianism, and Mozi founded Mohism, and set it against Confucianism, which really kicked off a hundred schools of thought. There are similarities and differences between these two schools of thought.

(1) Similarity of educational aims of Confucianism and Mohism

Both of them pay attention to cultivating surgical treatment talents. The ultimate goal of Confucian education is to cultivate all kinds of talents needed to maintain class rule. Mohism advocates that education should cultivate "saints", and the "saints" cultivated by Mohism are essentially the same as the "gentlemen" cultivated by Confucius.

(2) The differences of educational purposes between Confucianism and Mohism.

The ultimate goal of Confucian education is to cultivate all kinds of talents needed to maintain class rule. In the summer, Confucius' thought about the purpose of education was accurately summarized as "learning as an official and being an official as a scholar". Mencius determined that the purpose of education is "morality", and its essence is to maintain social order and moral concepts superior to others.

Mohism advocates that education should cultivate "wise men". The main moral character of a wise man is universal love, but his universal love is very different from Confucius' benevolence. Confucius emphasizes indiscriminate love and benevolence emphasizes "love for the poor".
