To explain why Ye Feng doesn't like the Mohist family, we have to start with the Mohist family. However, in the prehistoric fairyland, except for the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, there is no Mohist family. On the one hand, "Heaven" is too lazy, and on the other hand, the Mohist family Questions about one’s own thinking
So here we are going to talk about the strongest organization in the history of Huaxia that mysteriously disappeared in this world - the Mohist family.
In the history of Huaxia, there was a mysterious organization. They mastered the most advanced technology and inherited the greatest ideas. In its heyday, it even controlled the fate of the entire Huaxia. The founder of this organization was just a man. He is a farmer, but he can be said to be as good as a god. If the Mohist family can be passed down to this day, it may be more powerful than any other organization and can even change the pattern of the entire world and allow us to forcibly enter the world of Datong.
The Mohist School was born during the Warring States Period. It is not only a school of thought, but also a mysterious organization with strict disciplines and strict hierarchies. The purpose of this organization's existence is to gather a group of people with dreams, and then under the guidance of the leader Juzi, establish a A truly peaceful world, the story of this organization must start with its founder
The founder of the Mohist school is called Mo Zhai, who is also known as Mozi. As a member of the Mohist family, he is generally called Saw. Mo Zhai was born in a poor family and was the only philosopher of peasant origin in Chinese history. He came from the bottom. people who go up
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a group called "scholars" emerged, which is equivalent to today's intellectuals. Intellectuals are roughly composed of two types of people. The first type is declining aristocrats like Confucius. They attended aristocratic schools when they were young, but had little property and no social status. The second type is like Mo Zhai, who is proficient in a craft, learns knowledge, and then becomes an intellectual. They are exactly the opposite. One fell from the top and the other climbed up from the bottom.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, heroes competed for the throne. This was an era of broken rites and broken music. When Mo Zhai was just promoted to a scholar, Confucius' Confucianism had already spread all over the land of Hua and Xia, so Mo Zhai joined Confucianism, thinking of relying on Confucian benevolence and righteousness to end this troubled world.
When Mo Zhai joined Confucianism, Confucius had already passed away, and Confucianism at that time had become a tool of the rulers. The benevolence it advocates has also become the slogan for emperors to control the world. How can such a school of thought end troubled times? A person who has climbed up from the bottom knows best the horror of class solidification. If you want to eliminate this solidification, you need to fight violence with violence. Therefore, "power emerges from the barrel of a gun" has been a custom since ancient times.
So Mo Zhai gave up Confucianism, established the Mohist school, and even openly opposed Confucianism.
After the establishment of the Mohist school, it attracted a large number of craftsmen. These people had been bitter about Confucianism for a long time, thinking that they were just hypocritical benevolence and righteousness. It was the appearance of Mo Zhai that really aroused the resonance of these people at the bottom.
Most of the Confucian people are the rich second generation who are incompetent. Most of the people in the Mohist family are poor people who work hard. This also led to the fact that the vitality of Mohism was much stronger than that of Confucianism, so before long, Mohism had an equal status with Confucianism and became one of the two major schools of thought at that time.
Moreover, Mo Zhai himself has a strong ability to attract fans. In the eyes of Mohist disciples, Mo Zhai is like a god. He is knowledgeable, eloquent, good at craftsmanship, frugal, and dedicated to the public. He is a flawless role model
Zhuangzi once said: Among the thousands of schools of thought, only Mozi is really going through fire and water. Even Mencius, his enemy, said: As long as it was beneficial to the people of the world, he would be willing to do it even if Mozi himself was shattered to pieces.
Of course, the power of the Mohist family is not limited to Mozi himself.
Within the Mohist family, members are called Mohists and the leader is called Saw. Most of the Mohists are craftsmen at the bottom of society. They have lofty ideals in their hearts and are always ready to die for peace. All Mohist members, no matter where they are, as long as they are officials, must implement Mohist ideas. Moreover, the property of all members of the Mohist family, including Jiaozi himself, must be donated to the Mohist family for the purpose of establishing a world of great harmony.
It should be noted here that the discipline of this group is very strict and there is a high probability that corruption will not occur. Their wealth is really only used to fulfill their dreams, so what if the members of the Mo family have no money?
The answer is, you can only endure hardship and stand hard work. The records say, "Wearing brown fur as clothing, and walking on foot as clothing, we work day and night without rest, and suffer ourselves to the extreme." The translated meaning is that he takes pleasure in suffering and endures hardship willingly.
You may not quite understand that all Mohists live for only two things, one is righteousness in their hearts, and the other is world peace. To give a few examples, for example, there was a person in the Qin State who once served as the saw of the Mohist family. His son killed someone in Qin. King Qin Hui did not want to offend the Mo family, so he said that you are old and you only have a son, so I have ordered not to kill him. But he said: Those who kill should be put to death, and those who harm others should be punished. This is the Mohist rule. If the officials of Qin do not kill him, I will kill him myself. So within the Mo family, his son was sentenced
This fact is a bit shocking, and perhaps the decline of the Mohist family began to show signs from this point.
For another example, the State of Chu once planned to attack the State of Song. Mozi believed that this kind of war was unjust, so he wanted to help Song defend Chu. Mozi asked three hundred disciples to set up defenses in the Song Dynasty, and then went to the Chu army camp alone to persuade the King of Chu to retreat. The King of Chu invited Gongshu Ban, also known as Lu Ban, to have Lu Ban and Mozi fight on the sand table. As a result, no matter how Lu Ban attacked, he could not break through Mozi's defense. The furious Lu Ban even wanted to kill Mozi, thinking that no one would be able to help Song defend it. As a result, Mozi said that he could die, but the spirit of the Mohist disciples and the Mohist family would not be severed. In desperation, the King of Chu had no choice but to retreat.
So how strong is the Mohist spirit? You can refer to Meng Sheng’s death in the city
Meng Sheng was also a saw, and he once promised a man named Yangcheng Jun to defend the city of Chu. Meng Sheng divided a piece of jade into two halves, and he and Yangcheng Jun each had one and a half pieces. Only when the two jade halves are put together will they give up defending the city.
As a result, there was a coup in Chu State, and the Yangcheng army fled. The people of Chu wanted to return to Lord Yangcheng's fiefdom. Meng Sheng refused to hand over the city without the jade pendant, and said: With my ability, I cannot resist the Chu army, but without the jade pendant, I cannot hand over the city. So I can only die in Yangcheng.
There were one hundred and eighty-two Mohists at that time, and one hundred and eighty of them willingly followed Meng Sheng to death. Two people broke out of the siege, passed Meng Sheng's saw token to Tian Xiangzi, and identified Tian Xiangzi as the next saw. After handing over the token, the two men returned to the battlefield, willing to die for the righteousness in their hearts.
