Mozi (468-376 BC), named Di (dí), was a native of Huaxia and Fujio. He was the founder of Mohism and a famous thinker, educator, scientist and strategist in the Warring States Period. Mozi's ancestors were Song people. Mozi founded Mohism, which had a great influence in the pre-Qin period and was called "outstanding learning" with Confucianism. Mozi is the only philosopher in history who was born as a farmer and had great influence. Historical materials about Mozi's life story were collected by his disciples, and the book Mozi was handed down from generation to generation. He put forward the viewpoints of "universal love", "non-aggression", "Shang Xian", "Shang Tong", "ambition", "ghost", "death", "unhappiness" and "frugality". Take universal love as the core, frugality and sage as the fulcrum. Mozi founded a set of scientific theories with outstanding achievements in geometry, physics and optics in the pre-Qin period. At that time, a hundred schools of thought contended and were called "non-Confucian Jimo". After Mozi's death, Mohism was divided into three schools: Xiangri Chi Mo, Xiangfumo and Denglingmo.

Mozi is an economic compilation of the words and deeds of Mozi's disciples.
