As a master, Mozi fully realized the great social role of education. It is advocated to educate all the people in the world with the words of Wang Zhidao and the sage.
In fact, the biggest highlight of Mozi's educational thought lies in the educational content. He attached importance to education, and his teaching content was far wider than that of other educators in the pre-Qin period. In addition to cultural knowledge, he also incorporated the knowledge of productive labor into the church to cultivate applied talents.
The main idea of Mohism is:
Love each other on an equal footing (universal love), oppose the war of aggression (non-attack), advocate economy and oppose extravagance and waste (thrift), attach importance to inheriting the cultural wealth of predecessors (ghosts and gods), and master the laws of nature (ambition). Because of the unique political attribute of Mohism, it colluded with the policy of "ousting a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" by Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty.
Mohist school has been suppressed constantly, and gradually lost its realistic foundation of existence, and Mohist thought has gradually died out in China; It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China that scholars excavated Mohism again from that pile of old papers and found its progress. In recent years, through the efforts of some new Mohists, some useful viewpoints in Mohist theory have begun to enter people's field of vision.
