Qi wanted to attack Lu, and Mozi called Xiangziniu and said, "Attacking Lu is bigger than Qi. In the past, Wu cut Yue and lived in various places. Cutting Chu in the west, keeping it down (2); During the Northern Expedition, the son of Yan Guo returned to Wu. The rulers rewarded them, and the people suffered their sufferings, but they used their purposes. Taking the country as a crime is a virtual crime and a punishment. Zhi Bo, a former dynasty, conquered Fan Jia and Chinese experts, and was also the land of Sanjin. The rulers rewarded them, and the people suffered their sufferings, but they used their purposes. Taking the country as a crime is a virtual crime, and it is also useful as a punishment. Therefore, a big country attacking a small country is also a thief and will be anti-state. "
When Zi Mozi saw the King of Qi, he said, "Now there is a sword here. It's very good to try it with a broken head." The king said, "Li." Zi Mozi said, "What's the benefit of beheading people?" The king said, "Li." Zi Mozi said, "If the Dao is good, who will suffer from it?" The king said, "The sword benefits from it, but the experimenter suffers from it." Zi Mozi said, "If the country joins the army, thieves will be arrogant to the people. (3) Will it be ominous?" The king cocked his head and thought about it, saying, "I'm really unlucky."
When Mozi heard about the attack on Zheng in Luyang, he said to Yang Wenjun, "Today, most of the four borders of Shandong are attacking their small capital. What if everyone attacks his small family, kills his people and takes away his cattle, horses, dogs, silks, rice, millet, goods and wealth? " , saying: "All four borders of Lu are ministers. Today, most of them attack their small capital. If you attack his small family and seize his wealth, you will be severely punished. " Zi Mozi said, "The husband and heaven are in the world, and they are also in the four realms of the monarch. Today, the soldiers are dispatched to attack Zheng, and God will punish them. " And said, "Sir, I'm not just attacking Zheng. I attacked Zheng and obeyed God's will. Zheng Ren III killed his father (4), and Heaven added a penalty, so that three years have not expired, and I will help Heaven to punish him. " Zi Mozi said, "When Zheng Ren III killed his father, God punished him, so that the punishment was enough before the end of three years. Today, I dispatched troops to attack Zheng, saying that I attacked Zheng, which was in line with God's will. For example, someone here, whose son is a strong beam but not expected (5), so his father, the neighbor's father, lifted the wood and smashed it, saying: I smashed it, which is in line with his father's will. That's not wrong! "
Zi Mozi said to Wen Jun in Luyang, "Attack its neighboring countries, kill its people, take its cattle, horses, millet and goods, and then write them on bamboo and silk, carve them on stones, thinking that they were carved in Zhong Ding and passed them on to future generations, saying,' If I had more!' Today's bitch also attacked her neighbor's house, killed her people, took her dog, food, clothes and fur, and wrote bamboo and silk, thinking that they were carved on beans for future generations, saying,' If I had more!' How can it be? "Yang Lu Wen Jun said," of course. From my son's words, the so-called possibility in the world is not inevitable. "
Wen Jun, the son of Mozi, said (6): "All secular gentlemen know small things, but they don't know big things. Today, there are people here who steal dogs and thieves, calling them heartless and stealing the country and the capital, calling them righteous. For example, ignoring white is white, and ignoring white is black. It is a secular gentleman who knows small things but not big things. "
Mozi, the son of Wen Jun in Luyang, said, "South of Chu, there is a bridge for the Republic of China. If the eldest son of the country is born, eat fresh (7), which means it should be the younger brother. If he is beautiful, he will leave his husband. If he is happy, he will reward his father. Is it vulgar? " Zi Mozi said, "Although it is common in China, it is still true. Kill the father and reward the son, why eat the son and reward the father? If benevolence and righteousness are not needed, why can't foreigners eat their own sons? " Lu Jun's death, Lu Jun believed, and Lu people took it as their word (8). When Zi Mozi heard this, he said, "A liar will also show the will of the dead. Today is the first time since Judas that it has been used for talking. " (9)
Wen Jun of Luyang said to Mozi, "If you have words, I will be loyal to my minister. If you make him bend down, you will bend down. If you are quiet, shout and there will be a response. Can you say that you are loyal to my minister? " Zi Mozi said, "If you make it lean, it will lean, and if you make it up, it will be like a scene (10);" The place is quiet. Someone should answer the phone. It seems to be ringing. What will you get from the scenery and sound? If Zhai Zhi's so-called loyal minister once had the world, then he should give a little advice (11); If you have goodness, you will visit it, but you dare not tell it. Externally destroy its evil and internally eliminate its good. Shang Tong did not compare, and the basis of comparison was goodness and resentment; Joy is in the sky, and sorrow is in the minister. This is the so-called loyal minister. "
Lu Jun called Zi Mozi and said, "I have two sons. One is eager to learn, and the other is good at dividing people's wealth. Who thinks the prince can do it? " Zi Mozi said, "I don't know. Or reward and do it. The fisherman's gift is not for the fish; It's not love to lure mice with bugs. May the Lord agree with his ambition. "
People in the state of Lu learned from Mozi (12), and his son died in battle, and his father asked Mozi (13). Zi Mozi said, "I want to be the son of a student. I have achieved success in my studies today and died in the battlefield, but I still want to fight. It is also difficult." What a waste (14)! "
In southern Shandong, I have a worry about Wu. I compare myself to Shun, who is in winter. Mozi heard it and saw it. Wu Si called Mozi: "What's the use of words?" Zi Mozi said: "Confucius said that the so-called benevolent people are also strong in serving others, but what about sharing wealth with others?" Wu Si said, "Yes." Zi Mozi said, "I have tasted the plan. Zhai worries about farmers and eats people all over the world. Sheng, and then when the farmer plows, points the world, without a liter of millet. Those who think they can get a liter of millet (15) can't satisfy the hunger in the world. Zhai worries about weaving and serving the whole world, and then when a woman weaves it, it divides the world, and people can't get cloth. It can be seen that the ruler cloth can't warm the cold of the world. Zhai Yu is determined to be sharp (16), saving vassals and prospering the world. Then the war between husband and wife broke out, and it was obvious that he did not resist the three armed forces. Zhai thinks, don't recite Wang Zhidao first, ask him to talk, understand the sage's words, and observe his words. It is said that princes and adults are ordinary people on foot. Governors use my words, the country will rule; A hiker uses my words to do what must be done. Therefore, Zhai believes that although hunger does not plow, cold does not weave, good farming and eating, weaving and clothing. Therefore, I think that although I don't plow or weave, I am good at farming. " Wu Si called Mozi and said, "What's the use of words?" Zi Mozi said, "What is the merit of teaching people to plow, if they stand in the world and don't know how to plow, or if they plow alone and don't teach people?" Wu Si said: "It is a great achievement to teach people to cultivate themselves." Zi Mozi said, "What is the merit of making people fight by standing and drumming, or making people fight alone without drumming and attacking an unjust country?" Wu Si said: "People who beat drums have many advantages." Zi Mozi said: "People who walk in the world on foot know little about righteousness, while those who teach the world about righteousness have achieved even greater success." Why say anything? " If I get the drum and just advance, then my righteousness is useless! "
Mozi still makes too many rounds. The public merchant said the King of Yue, and the King of Yue said the public merchant said, "Sir, if you can make Mozi go abroad and teach me, please divide the land of the State of Wu (17) and make Fiona Fang 500 Li to seal Mozi." The public has promised. So for the sake of the public, I still took fifty cars to see Mozi in Lu. He said, "I said the King of Yue in the way of a master, and the King of Yue said,' If you can make Zi Mozi go abroad and teach me, please divide the land of Wu, with a square of 500 miles, so as to seal the son. ""Mozi said that the public is still more than saying: "Where is the ambition of the son officer for the king? The Italian king will listen to me and use my way, then Zhai will go, eat according to his stomach and dress according to his clothes. He compared himself to a vassal (18), and Xi can take the seal as zai! The more you don't listen to me, the more you don't need my way. I'll just go. This is also in China's ear, so why bother! "
When Mozi traveled, Yue Wei said, "Since I met the king of the Quartet, shall I say (19) first?" Zi Mozi said, "When you enter China, you must choose your profession and engage in it. If the country is in chaos, then the language is Shang Xian and Monk Tong; If the country is poor, the language will be used sparingly and buried sparingly; If the country is full of sounds (20), the language is unhappy and doomed; If the country is immoral and rude, then language respects heaven and ghosts; State affairs seize aggression, that is, love without attack. So say: choose a career and engage in it. "
Mozi left Cao Gongzi and came to the Song Dynasty. Three years later, I met Mozi and said, "At first, I swam at the gate of Mozi, dressed in a short brown coat and served Chenopodium soup. If I get it, I will be sacrificed to ghosts and gods. Now, with the teacher's teaching, the family is thicker than before. My family is thick and willing to sacrifice to ghosts and gods. However, many people have died, and six animals are not uncommon, and they are sick. I don't know how to be a master. " Zi Mozi said, "Otherwise. There are many people who want what their husbands and ghosts want: give way to others if they want them; If you have more money, you will share poverty. If you are a ghost, do you just want to blow your lungs in the season? (2 1) It is ominous that this son is in a high position and does not give up his position; It is ominous to have more money instead of sharing poverty. Today, ghosts and gods only offer sacrifices and say,' Why are you sick?' Is to close a door and say,' How can a thief come in?' . If it is a strange ghost seeking happiness, how is it possible? "
Lu Zhu offered a dolphin sacrifice (22), seeking blessings from ghosts and gods. Hearing this, Mozi said, "No way. Today, if you give it to a thin person and expect a thick one, then people will be afraid that they will give themselves something. Today, I offer a dolphin as a sacrifice, seeking blessings for ghosts and gods, lest I sacrifice cattle and sheep. Ancient holy kings served and sacrificed ghosts and gods. Today, if you seek a hundred blessings at the expense of a dolphin, your wealth is not as good as your poverty. "
Peng committed suicide. Confucius said, "The past is known, but the future is unknown." Zi Mozi said, "If you leave home for a hundred miles, you will die. Wait a day, and you will be born. If you don't do this, you will die. Today, there are solid chariots and good horses here, and there are wheels (23) of slave horses in the four corners here. What will the son take? " He said, "You can get there quickly by riding a good horse." Zi Mozi said, "Why come (24)!"
Meng Shan praised King Lu and said, "In the past, this was a disaster for Bai Gong. If you hold Prince Lu, the axe shovel should hook (25), so be careful. You said,' If you were king, you would live; If you are not the king, you will die! Prince Lu said,' How dare you insult me! Kill my dear, but be glad that I am Chu (26). I won the world and was unjust, but not for myself. Where's Chu "Don't do this. Isn't Wang kind? "Mozi said," difficult is difficult, not benevolent. If the king has no way, why not rule without way? If you regard Bai Gong as unjust, why don't you suffer the king, punish Bai openly and oppose him? Therefore, it is difficult, but not kind. "
Mozi made victory more than success. Xiangzi Niu invaded Shandong three times and won all three times. After hearing this, Zi Mozi asked him to leave, saying, "I will help you win your pride (27). Today, Chuo is also generous and respectful to the master. The master invaded Lu three times and Chuo three times, which is to lash Ma Jinye (28). Zhai Wenzhi's words refer to what he did, which is a crime. This is not Buddha's knowledge, but Lu won justice. "
In the past, Chu people fought against Vietnamese ships in the river. Chu people went downstream, retreated against the current, advanced at the sight of advantages, and retreated at the sight of disadvantages. The more you sail against the current, the more you retreat, the more you advance when you see the advantages, and the more you retreat when you see the disadvantages. Therefore, the more people gain power, they will be defeated by the Chu people (29). The loser swam from southern Shandong to Chu. It was originally a boat weapon. As a preparation for the strong hook (30), those who retreat hook it, those who enter it are strong, and the length of the strong hook is measured to make it a soldier. On the soldier's day of Chu (3 1), the more soldiers there are, the stronger the Chu people are and they will be defeated. The loser is clever. Mozi said, "I have a strong hook in the boat battle. I wonder if the son's intention is also strong?" Zi Mozi said, "The hook of my righteousness is stronger than the hook of the battle of my boat. I hook me (32), hook it with love and draw it with respect (33). If you hook up with love, don't kiss, bow respectfully and leave quickly, or leave quickly if you don't kiss. It is still beneficial for old friends to love each other and respect each other. Today, children hook people to stop people, and people also hook people to stop children. Children are strong and far away, and people are strong and far away. Children, strong and strong, are still harmful. Therefore, the hook of my righteousness is strong, and the hook of the battle of Xianzhou is strong. "
The loser cut bamboo and thought it was a magpie and flew away three days later. Losers think they are smart. Zi Mozi called the public defeated Zi Yue: "A son is a magpie, but a craftsman is not as good as a chariot. In an instant, Liu Sancun's wood (34) weighed fifty stones. Therefore, what you do, people are smart, and people are stupid. "
The loser called Zi Mozi, saying, "I wish I hadn't seen it in the Song Dynasty. After I see myself, give me a song and I won't do anything wrong. " Zi Mozi said, "Before Zhai saw me, I wanted to win the Song Dynasty. After Zhai met, I gave him the Song Dynasty, which was unjust. I gave him the Song Dynasty. The son is righteous, and he wants to give it to the world. " (1) The paragraphs in the article record some conversations between Mozi and princes, disciples and others. Among them, the more important content is Mozi's principle of lobbying vassals and "choosing things and doing them"; The views of "universal love" and "non-aggression" are stated in many places in the article; There are also several places devoted to the importance of righteousness. All these contents reflect Mozi's dream of a prosperous country, a peaceful world and people living and working in peace and contentment.

(34) Liu's formal mistakes. The monarch of Lu said to Mozi, "I am afraid that Qi will attack our country. Can I save it? " Mozi said, "Yes. Three generations of saints, Tang, Wen and Wu, are just the leaders of the land of Fiona Fang, who like loyalty and righteousness and will eventually win the world; Three generations of tyrannical monarchs, such as Jie, Zhou, You and Li, regarded the accusers as enemies, did tyrannical things and eventually lost the world. I hope you, the monarch, will respect heaven and worship ghosts and gods, love the people and benefit the people, prepare rich fur and coins, be humble in your words, and pay tribute to local governors as soon as possible, so as to drive the people of a country, resist the aggression of Qi and save the disaster. If not, there seems to be no other way. "
When Qi wanted to attack Lu, Mozi said to Xiangziniu, "It was a big mistake for Qi to attack Lu. Once upon a time, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, marched eastward to Yue, and Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was trapped in Huiji. When attacking Chu in the west, the Chu people defended Zhao Haoqi everywhere; Attack the State of Qi to the north, and the captured State of Qi will be taken back to the State of Wu. Later, the princes came for revenge, and the people were tired and refused to work for the king of Wu, so the country perished and the king of Wu himself became an executioner. Once upon a time, Zhi Bo attacked Fan and Bank of China, and owned the land of Sanjinqing. The vassal came for revenge, the people were tired and refused to work, the country perished, and he himself became a punished person, which is also the reason. Therefore, when a big country attacks a small country, it will kill each other and disaster will befall the country. "
Mozi pointed to Taigong and said, "Now there is a knife here. Try to chop off a person's head with it, and it will be cut off at once. Is it sharp? " Taigong said, "Sharp." Mozi added: "I tried to cut off many people's heads with it, and it was cut off at once." Can it be said that it is sharp? " Taigong said, "Sharp." Mozi said, "The knife is really sharp. Who will suffer that misfortune? " Taigong said, "The knife bears its front, and the experimenter suffers from its misfortune." Mozi said, "Who will suffer if you annex the territory of other countries, destroy their troops and kill their people?" Taigong lowered his head, raised his head, thought for a moment, and replied, "I will be unfortunate."
In Luyang, Zheng was about to be attacked. Hearing this, Mozi stopped him and said to Wen Jun in Luyang: "Now let most people in the four districts of Lu attack the small capital, and the big families attack the small families, killing and robbing cattle, horses, dogs, pigs, cloth, silk, rice, millet, goods and wealth. What should we do? " Wen Jun of Luyang said, "Shandong is my subject. Now most of them attack small cities, and big families attack small families and plunder their goods and wealth, so I will severely punish those who attack. " Mozi said, "Heaven has the world, just as you have the territory of Shandong. If you want to attack Zheng today, won't heaven punish you? " Lu Yang said, "Why didn't your master allow me to attack Zheng? When I attacked Zheng, I obeyed God's will. Zheng slaughtered their monarch for generations, and was punished on the last day, which made it restless for three years. I will help heaven punish it. " Mozi said, "How many generations of Zheng killed its monarch? God has punished them for three years. God's punishment is enough! " Now you're attacking Zheng again, saying,' It's providence for me to attack Zheng.' For example, there is a man here whose son is cruel, tough and abrasive, so his father whipped him. The neighbor's father also raised a wooden stick and hit him, saying,' I hit him because I obeyed his father's will. Isn't this ridiculous? "yes!
Mozi said to Wen Jun in Luyang: "Attacking neighboring countries, killing their people, plundering their cattle, horses, millet, rice, goods and wealth, writing these things on bamboo and silk, carving them on stone, writing them on bells and ding, and passing them on to future generations, saying,' No one has achieved more than me!'" "Now this lowly man attacks his neighbor's house, kills his neighbor's population, plunders his neighbor's dogs, pigs, food, grains, clothes and quilts, and writes them on bamboo and silk, on mats and utensils, and passes them on to future generations, saying,' No one has won more victories than me!' Is it okay? "Luyang said to Wen Jun," yes. I use your remarks to observe, so what people all over the world say is not necessarily correct. "
Mozi said to Wen Jun in Luyang: "A gentleman knows little things but doesn't know big things. Now there is a man here. If he steals someone else's dog or pig, he is called heartless. If you steal a country and a capital, it is called righteousness. It's like watching white say white and white say black. Therefore, secular gentlemen only know small things and don't know big things, as this sentence says. "
Wen Jun of Luyang said to Mozi, "There is a man-eating country in southern Chu called Bridge. In this country, the eldest son is killed and eaten as soon as he is born, and is called Yidi. Delicious food is given to the monarch, who likes it and rewards it. Isn't this a bad custom? " Mozi said, "Even in China, the custom is like this. If a father dies because of an attack, he will reward his son. What is the difference between eating a son and rewarding a father? If benevolence and righteousness are not practiced, why should foreigners be accused of eating their sons? "
Lu Guojun's beloved concubine died, and Lu Guojun flattered her and wrote an obituary for her. Lu Guojun was very happy and adopted it. Mozi listened and said, "The obituary shows the mind of the deceased. Now because I am happy to adopt it, it is like making clothes with yak heads. "
Wen Jun of Luyang said to Mozi: "Someone told me what a loyal minister looks like: tell him to lower his head and raise his head;" Everyday life is very calm, and he agrees only after asking. Can this be called a loyal minister? " Mozi replied: "If you ask him to lower his head, he will lower his head. If you ask him to raise his head, he will raise his head, just like a shadow.": It's normal in daily life, and you will only agree if you call him. It's like an echo. What do you get from courtiers like Shadow and Echo? What I mean by loyal subjects is this: when the monarch is wrong, he will wait for an opportunity to remonstrate; If you have a good reward, tell the monarch, but dare not tell anyone. Correct the monarch's deviant evil, make him step into the right path, advocate consistency, and don't form a selfish party below. Therefore, beauty and goodness exist at a higher level, hatred exists at a lower level, happiness belongs to the monarch, and sadness belongs to the liegeman. This is what I call a loyal minister. "
The monarch of Lu said to Mozi, "I have two sons, one likes studying and the other likes giving alms." Who can be a prince? " Mozi replied: "This is unknown. The second son may do this for reward and fame. Fishing people bow, not to show respect for fish; Catching mice with worms as bait is not like mice. I hope that the Lord will combine their motives and effects to observe. "
There was a man in Lu who was related to Mozi and asked Mozi to teach his son. When his son died, the father blamed Mozi. Mozi said, "You asked me to teach your son, and now he has learned. He died because of the war, but you hate me. " It's like buying and selling food, but when it's sold, there are complaints. Isn't that ridiculous? "
There is a man named in the southern suburbs of Shandong who makes pottery in winter and cultivates fields in summer, so he is more comfortable than himself. Mozi went to see him when he heard about it. Wu Si said to Mozi: "Righteousness, righteousness, responsibility lies in hard work, why talk!" Mozi said, "Does your so-called righteousness also include convincing others with strength and distributing wealth to others?" Wu Si replied, "Yes." Mozi said: "I once thought: I want to farm my own land to feed the world and work very hard." This is equivalent to a farmer farming and distributing the harvest to the whole world. Everyone can't get a liter of millet. Obviously, a person can get a liter of millet, but it is not enough to feed the hungry people all over the world. I want to spin clothes for people all over the world. I work hard. This is equivalent to a woman spinning. I distributed cloth to people all over the world, and everyone couldn't get a foot of cloth. Obviously, a foot of cloth is not enough to warm the cold people in the world. I will try to save the princes with strong armor and sharp weapons. This is equivalent to a soldier fighting. Obviously, a soldier can't resist the attack of the three armies. I think it's better to read more about the theory of the former king, be familiar with the words of inspecting saints, and persuade the nobles in the world and the ordinary people in the next life. The princes have adopted my theory, and the country will certainly govern well; Ordinary people have adopted my theory, and their conduct must be cultivated. So I think that even if you don't farm, you can feed the hungry and keep out the cold without spinning. Credit is always better than those who have land to the tiller and clothes to the weaver. Therefore, I think that even if you don't plant land and spin, the credit is stronger than planting land and spinning. " Wu Si said to Mozi, "Righteousness, Righteousness, you are working hard, why talk empty!" Mozi asked, "If people all over the world don't know how to farm, who will do more credit?" Wu Si replied, "People who teach people to farm do a lot of credit." Mozi asked again, "suppose you attack an unjust country, those who beat gongs and drums to make everyone fight and those who fight alone without beating gongs and drums to make everyone fight." Who has contributed more to them? Wu Si replied: "Drumming makes people who fight for everyone make a lot of contributions." . Mozi said: "There are few people in the world who know benevolence and righteousness, and those who teach the world with benevolence and righteousness have more credit. Why not convince them? "If I can encourage everyone to meet the requirements of benevolence and righteousness, then my benevolence and righteousness will not go further!"
Mozi asked Gong Shang to be an official in Yue State. Gong Shang tried to persuade the King of Yue. The king of Yue was very happy and said to the public, "Sir, if Mozi can come to Yue to teach me, I am willing to give Mozi 500 miles where Wu used to be." Gong Shang promised. So he rented fifty cars for Gong Shang and went to Lu to see Mozi. Gong said to Mozi, "I persuaded the King of Yue with the teacher's theory. The King of Yue was very happy and said to me, "If you can let Mozi go to Yue to teach me, I am willing to set aside 500 miles where Wu used to be and seal it to Mozi." Mozi said to Gong, "What do you think of the idea of King Yue? If the King of Yue is willing to listen to me and adopt my theory, then I will go. Or Yue Guo doesn't listen to me or adopt my theory. If I leave, I will betray justice. It is also a betrayal of' righteousness'. If it is good in the Central Plains, why go to Vietnam! "
When Mozi traveled abroad, Yue Wei asked him, "What would you say if you could meet the princes all over the world?" Mozi said: "When you arrive in a country, choose the most important persuasion: if a country is confused, tell them the inspiration of Shang Xian and Monk Tong;" If a country is poor, tell them to save money and bury it; If a country likes vocal music and is addicted to alcohol, tell them the benefits of unhappiness; If a country is dissolute, eccentric and does not pay attention to etiquette, let them respect heaven and ghosts; If a country bullies, plunders, invades and humiliates other countries, tell them the benefits of fraternity and non-aggression. So,' choose the most important thing to convince.' "
Mozi invited Cao Gongzi to be his country in the Song Dynasty and returned three years later. When he met Mozi, he said, "When I started studying under your door, I wore coarse clothes and ate coarse grains such as wild vegetables. If you eat it in the morning, you may not be able to sacrifice to ghosts and gods at night. Now because of your education, my family is much richer than before. If you have money at home, you will be careful when offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods. On the contrary, like this, many family members died, six animals were not prosperous, and they were trapped among patients. I still don't know if the teacher's theory can be used. " Mozi said: "No .. ghosts and gods want people to have many things: they want people to give way when they are in high position and rich, and they want more property to be distributed to the poor." Do ghosts and gods just want to eat sacrifices? Now you are in the position of high official and generous, but you don't let the virtuous, which is the first kind of bad luck; More property is not distributed to the poor, which is the second kind of bad luck. Now you serve ghosts and gods and only offer sacrifices, but you say: Where did the disease come from? It's like closing one door after another, but asking: Where did the thief come in? Is it okay to ask the ghosts who blame you like this? "
The priests in the state of Lu offered sacrifices to a pig and prayed for the blessing of ghosts and gods. Mozi listened and said, "This is not good. Now, if you give less and hope more, then others are afraid that you have something for them. Now use a pig to sacrifice, and pray for the blessing of ghosts and gods, who are afraid that you will sacrifice cattle and sheep. Once upon a time, the holy king served ghosts and gods and offered sacrifices. Now, instead of offering rich sacrifices, it is better to sacrifice pigs for the blessing of ghosts and gods. "
Peng Qingsheng said: "You can know the past, but you can't know the future." Mozi said: "suppose your parents are hundreds of miles away and are about to encounter disaster." Live within a day, and die before you arrive. " Now there are solid chariots and horses here, and there are also square-wheeled chariots and horses to choose from. Which one would you choose? Peng Qingsheng replied, "You can get there quickly in a strong car pulled by a good horse." Mozi said, "How can you assert that the future is unknowable? "
Meng Shan praised the king and said, "Once upon a time, Bai Gong made an insurrection in Chu, caught the king, hooked his waist with an axe, pointed a straight weapon at his heart, and said to him,' Be the king of Chu, you will live, or you will die. Lu Wangdao: "How can you insult me like this! Killed my relatives, but gave it to Chu to play tricks on me. I won't do anything to gain the world by injustice; Besides a Chu state? "He won't be the king of Chu after all. Is Wang still ruthless? Mozi said, "It is hard enough for you to be unyielding, and you have not yet reached benevolence. If he thinks the king of Chu is fatuous, why doesn't he accept the throne to govern the country? If he thinks Bai Gong is unfair, why not accept the throne, kill Bai Gong and return the throne to Hui Wang? So, it's hard enough, but not to the point of benevolence. "
Mozi made disciple Sheng Chuo and Xiangzi Niu an official. Xiangzi Niu invaded the territory of Shandong three times and followed the victory three times. Hearing this, Mozi sent his great-grandson to Xiangzi Niu to ask him to dismiss Sheng Chuo. The great-grandson said to Mozi, "I sent a saint, and I will use him to stop arrogance and righteousness." Now, Santa won a lot of money, but he cheated you. You invaded Lu three times, and you won three times. This is a blow to a war horse. I heard:' to say that benevolence and righteousness are not practiced is to knowingly commit crimes.' It's not that Sheng Chuo doesn't know. He values salary more than benevolence and righteousness. "
Once upon a time, Chu people and Vietnamese fought on the Yangtze River, and Chu people went downstream and retreated against the current; It is difficult to attack when you see the advantages, and it is difficult to retreat when you see the disadvantages. Vietnamese go upstream and retreat downstream; Attack when you see advantages, retreat when you see disadvantages, and you can retreat quickly. With this water potential, the Vietnamese defeated the Chu people many times. The public transport board swam from southern Shandong to Chu, so it began to make weapons for ship warfare. He built hook-and-inlay equipment, which was hooked by enemy ships when they retreated and turned away when they attacked with inlays. Calculate the length of hooks and inlays and make appropriate weapons. The weapons of Chu people are applicable, but those of Vietnamese people are not. With this advantage, the Chu people defeated the Vietnamese many times. The arbitration commission praised the dexterity of his hooks and inlays and told Mozi: "Our ship has its own hooks and inlays. I wonder if you also have hooks and inlays? " Mozi replied, "My hook and inlay are better than those on your boat. I take righteousness as the hook, love as the hook, and respect as the rejection. If you don't love hooks, you won't kiss. If you push it away irreverently, you will be easily despised. If you are not close, you will soon be separated. Therefore, mutual care and respect are mutually beneficial. Now you stop others with hooks, and others will stop you with hooks; You push people away with inlays, and people will push you away with inlays. Hook up with each other, push each other away, so hurt each other. Therefore, my hook and sleeve are better than your boat. "
Cut the bamboo and wood into magpies on the bus tray, let it fly when it is done, and it will not fall from the sky for three days. I think losing is very subtle. Mozi said to the bus board, "the magpie you made is not as good as the pin on the axle made by craftsmen." It can be cut into three inches of wood in a short time and can bear the weight of fifty stones. So what you usually do is beneficial to people and can be called exquisite; Not conducive to people, that is clumsy. "
The loser said to Mozi, "When I didn't see you, I wanted Song. Since I met you, give me Guo Song. If it is unfair, I will not accept it. " Mozi said, "When I didn't see you, you wanted Song State. Since I met you, I gave you Guo Song. If it is unfair, you will not accept it. I gave you Guo Song. You work hard to uphold justice, and I will give you the world. "
