Zhuangzi believes that if a person's emotions can't be expressed normally, it is against human nature and is not desirable. Secondly, Zhuangzi thinks that Mozi said that people should work hard before they die, and don't have a grand burial after they die. This is not only extremely difficult to achieve, but also violates the way of life of the people all over the world, which is unacceptable to them. Even if Mozi can do it himself, he is helpless to others. Breaking away from the world is inconsistent with the kingly way that Mozi has always advocated. Third, the people behind him disapprove of Mozi's excessive self-suffering.
But Zhuangzi affirmed Mozi's talent and love for the world. In The World, Zhuangzi commented: Mozi really cares about the world. Even though he is poor, he still won't give up his idea. This is the real man of insight.
Zhuangzi believes that Mozi's spirit of caring for the world and being hard-working is noble if he only restrains his own behavior, but it is not advisable for Mozi to apply it to everyone, because everyone has his own pursuit and cannot impose ideas that do not belong to him.
What family does Mozi belong to?
Mozi, according to legend, was a native of Lu during the Warring States Period. He is a famous thinker and educator in our country with many disciples. His masterpiece is Mozi, but this book is not written by him alone, but mostly a record of his and his disciples' speeches. He has made outstanding achievements and dabbled in all aspects, so his descendants have given him many titles of everyone.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were frequent wars and social unrest. Under such circumstances, Mozi was merciful and actively aimed at social problems, hoping to turn the tide and save the people all over the world through his own ability. He spread his ideas and got the support of many craftsmen and the lower class. In the heyday of culture, some people called him "non-Confucian Jimo", which shows that he is a very outstanding thinker.
Mozi initially followed Confucianism, and later established his own Mohist theory. He served as a doctor of Song Dynasty in the late Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the early Warring States Period, and was the founder of mohists. Mozi is also the only philosopher from a peasant background in history. His Epistemology and Logic have great influence on later generations. He also founded scientific theories such as geometry, physics and optics, and was the first person to put forward cosmology, which was called "victory" by later generations.
In the later period, Mozi's position gradually declined, no different from that of ordinary workers. Mohists, which he founded, has always been disciplined, and almost everyone wears sandals without exception. If anyone violates this strict method, he will be expelled or beheaded. However, the number of Mohist disciples still reached 100, forming a very large force. As an educator, he is undoubtedly successful.
The story of Mozi and the public welfare class
Mozi and Gonglei are two people, and the world often compares their craftsmanship. As we all know, whether Mozi or the public transport class, their organizational ability at that time can be described as superb, and even promoted the development of the whole society. So many people like to discuss who is better.
Bus class generally refers to Luban (about 507 BC to 444 BC), whose surname is Ji, a bus family, and is a famous class. It's called bus plate, bus class, and class loss. It was considered a car loser and was once called "Luban". Lu Guoren (now Tengzhou, Shandong Province) was born in the thirty-third year of Zhou and died in the twenty-fifth year of Zhou Zhenping. He is a great inventor in the history of China. Many tools he invented are of great significance.
After about 450 BC, Lu Ban went from Lu to Chu, where he became a doctor and began to help Lu make weapons. Mozi recorded in Lost that Lu Ban transformed the ladder into a volley siege. Mozi also rushed to Chu to persuade Lu Ban, claiming to "stop Chu from attacking Song Dynasty". According to legend, Lu Ban was wronged by Mozi, who invented many weapons and machinery for war. Mozi has always advocated peace, opposed war and believed in the supremacy of benevolence and righteousness. Therefore, when Chu attacked Song State, Mozi persuaded The King of Chu State and Lu Ban. At the beginning, Lu Ban showed off his invention like Mozi, and his language was clever and cautious, which quickly touched Lu Ban. Later, during the struggle, all the siege equipment invented by Lu Ban was used up, but Mozi had other ways to defend the city, and finally Lu Ban was persuaded.
In any case, both of them are outstanding talents in this field and have played an important role in the development of later generations.
On Mozi's "Unhappy" Thought
Mozi Le Fei is the work of Mozi, a famous thinker in China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. This book is mainly about Mozi's starting from the poor, thinking that high-ranking people should not sing and dance every day, regardless of the life and death of the poor.
There are three original works of Mozi's Leap, only the thirty-second one has survived, while the thirty-third and thirty-fourth ones have been lost in the early Song Dynasty. Non-music, as its name implies, means banning music and opposing musical activities. Mozi was born as a farmer and later lived a poor life like ordinary people.
He believes that everything should be aimed at benefiting the country and the people, and the prevalence of music takes up the time for rulers to manage the world. And the equipment that people want to create music also increases the burden on the people and takes up their production time. So this meaningless activity should be banned. Mozi believes that the most important thing for people is to eat and wear warm clothes, and music can neither change their present situation, nor fill their stomachs, nor make them no longer cold. The most important thing is that music cannot stop the war. On the contrary, because the rulers crave pleasure, they delay the management of the country, and the ultimate victims are ordinary working people. Mozi's thought is based on "universal love", and Le Fei fully embodies his thought and plays a very important role in the turbulent and war-torn society at that time.
Mozi's works mostly start from the people at dawn, telling their sufferings and opposing the war, so his thoughts are very popular with the people. However, at that time, the superior people all won by force, so they didn't pay special attention to him.
What is the allusion of Mozi's huge belly?
Mozi has a big belly. It sounds like Mozi is pregnant, but it's not. Its original intention is such a story:
Mohist school has a leader named Huang. One day, his son killed someone. King Hui of Qin said to him, "You are old. Do you have any other sons? I have ordered my men not to kill your son. " Then belly Huang said: "No, our Mohist rule is to kill and put to death, and it is the world's most important principle to prohibit killing and wounding." Although your majesty pardoned my son's crime, I can't help but abide by the rules of our Mohist school. " Later, Huang insisted on killing his beloved son. All this is because Huang killed his son for the sake of the world's righteousness, and it seems to set an example for the world. As the saying goes, "A gentleman who breaks the law is as guilty as Shu Ren." And belly yellow is selfless.
This story comes from Lu's Spring and Autumn Period: Going Private. The author, Confucianism and Mohism, is a famous school in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States Period. Its founder is Mozi, who advocates the idea of "non-attack" and loves the people as the foundation.
In today's realistic era, the law does not show partiality. As leaders, we should abide by the law and should not use our rights to break the law. This not only broke the strictness of the law, but also made the people unconvinced.
At the same time, we can see the integrity of Mohist thought, which also shows that Mohist thought is based on the interests of the world, and it is also the idea of "universal love" advocated by Mozi, and should be based on the interests of the people.
