Can you live forever

Chapter 141 The world is all white, only I am black

"If you want to talk about the same boat meeting, you must first talk about... the Mo family."

"A hundred schools of thought contend, mainly including Confucianism, Taoism, Law, Mohism, Bing, Yin-Yang, Zongheng, Novels, Ming, Medicine, Miscellaneous, and Agriculture. From the names of these twelve schools, in addition to Mohism, the other eleven schools , you can see their purpose at a glance."

"And what about the Mo family?"

"Ink, stick ink? Neither."

"The gist of the Mohists is: the world is all white, and I am the only one who is black."

"The avenue is split, and a hundred schools of thought come out. While cultivating in their respective fields, a hundred schools of thought will elevate their theories to the avenue. The world's teachings are prominent, especially Confucianism, Taoism, and law. They are pursuing 'combination' and summarizing practical things into one. road."

"A hundred schools of thought are based on internal calculations, and they are all in harmony, with the exception of the Mohist school."

When Wang Yuanzhi mentioned this point, Zhang Zhixiang noticed that it seemed to be true.

Among a hundred families.

To describe it according to the words of later generations, that is, all of them are "metaphysics", but Mohism is "metaphysics".

The Mohist school is the only school with leaders, theories, and organization among the hundreds of schools of thought. The Mohist school not only has theoretical research, but also Mohist with extraordinary martial arts skills, as well as a large number of high-tech talents in charge of production logistics.

The organizational form of the Mohist school completely surpassed the other hundred schools.

So much so that in the early days of the Warring States period, the Mohists were able to control the situation of the war with only one family, and they were able to implement their "universal love without attack" by force.

but.

As the war progressed, the strength of the country became stronger and stronger, and the war was no longer under the control of the Mohist school. In the end, Meng Sheng, the great son of the Mohist family in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, died guarding the city as the king of Yangcheng, which was the first sign of the decline of the Mohist school. .

Then, as the Qin State unified the world, the Mohist school, which was a prominent school in the world, disappeared inexplicably.

When Sima Qian wrote historical records, he couldn’t find enough information for Mo Di’s independent biography. Only in the "Biography of Mencius and Xunqing" there is such a sentence: Gai Mo Di, the doctor of Song Dynasty, was good at keeping the rules and used them frugally.Or it may be said that when Confucius was merged, or it may be said after that.

In just one sentence, there are several or words.

It is unreasonable to say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only respected Confucianism and deposed all schools of thought, and the Mohist school gradually withered away. This is unreasonable, because if the Mohist school existed, how could Sima Qian not even find the information?
And the Qin Dynasty had no reason to destroy the Mohists. The Mohists had made great contributions to Qin's unification of the world, and this large-scale eradication must be recorded.

There are records of burning books and burying Confucianism, but there is no reason why the Mohists do not.

There is only one reason for all these phenomena, and that is—the Mohists themselves hid themselves.

"Yes, the Mo family has hidden themselves."

"But it's not so much Mohism, it's better to say Mohism. Hundreds of schools have long since disappeared. Confucianism can only be called Confucianism after Dong Zhongshu, and Taoism is only Taoism now. People who practice medicine in the world, how can anyone call themselves a doctor? Write With so many novels, who would call himself a novelist?"

"Hundreds of schools have already merged with each other and merged into civilization."

"The Mohists are no exception."

"In Mohism, the concept of 'respecting the virtuous' was absorbed by Confucianism. The Mohists who were good at craftsmanship and summed up the rules spread all over all walks of life and became the basic force for technological development. The Mohist who used the concept of 'righteousness' back then, then Becoming a knight of later generations is part of the return of all rivers to the sea."

"but."

"In the past, there were prominent schools, Confucianism, Taoism, Law, and Mohism."

"Confucianism has long been the skin of Confucianism, and the two are essentially one. Confucianism is an extension of Confucianism and Legalism, and Taoism is an extension of Taoism. Mohism will naturally have Mohism."

"As for why they hide..."

"The world is all white, but I am alone in the dark. Not all organizations are in the light."

"Look at Confucianism and Taoism. Compared with the original schools of thought, they have actually changed to varying degrees, causing them to deviate from the original way."

"Mojiao is no exception."

"In the beginning, the disciples of the Mohist school were all in the form of straw sandals and common clothes. Is this because the Mohist school is poor? No. The Mohist school is not only not poor, it is richer than any other family in the hundred schools. They have the most advanced technology and the strongest organizational ability. , how could the Mo family be poor."

"I will do this only because of my beliefs and ideas."

"Mozi said that he should love the world and everyone is equal, so he wears straw sandals and common clothes. He wants all people in the world to live an equal life. Naturally, he wants to be the same as the most poor people."

"It is also because of this philosophy that Mohism has become a prominent school in the world, with more than 10 disciples."

"but."

"Mozi's philosophy has a big flaw. He ignores human nature. He can earn the most money, but he has to live the hardest life. If he can get spiritual satisfaction and sublimation because of this, then that's fine. .”

"Such as Buddhism and Taoism, the theory of longevity and gods, isn't it just a kind of compensation for the lack of material things?"

"However, the Mo family does not."

"It does not allow material enjoyment, nor does it allow spiritual enjoyment. The Mohists have the theory of 'wisdom ghosts', saying that heavenly ghosts can reward good and punish evil, so everyone should believe in heavenly ghosts, do good deeds, and do righteousness."

"However, before Mo Di died, his disciples asked him, Sir, why do you do good deeds all your life, and the heavenly ghosts still send you sick and sick?"

"Mo Di couldn't answer this question, so the theory of ghosts collapsed."

"The root cause of the collapse of the theory of Ming ghosts is that it does not emphasize how to practice spiritually. For example, if you do not become a fairy or a Buddha in Buddhism and Taoism, it means that your own cultivation is not enough, and the Mohist school does not have this kind of self-cultivation at all. the concept of."

"This is also the biggest flaw of the Mohist school. It doesn't seek harmony."

"Because if you seek harmony and talk about practice, there will be no equality for everyone."

Zhang Zhixiang understands that Mohism emphasizes metaphysics, so there is no concept of harmony. Although Mozi has the theory of Tianzhi and Minggui, in Mozi's view, heavenly ghosts are more of a tool, and Tianzhi is material objective laws of the world.

How does materialism cultivate immortality?

You don't cultivate immortals, you don't come out of the world, you are doing things to save the world, you can clearly control the wealth of heaven and earth, but you can only wear straw sandals... Sigh!So familiar!
Zhang Zhixiang suddenly understood how the Mohism changed.

perhaps.

After Mo Di's death, the pure ideals of the Mohist school began to have problems. Until Meng Sheng died in righteousness, the idealism had actually declined in the Mohist school.

With the death of Qin II, the Mohism also underwent great changes.

The Mohists turned into Mohism, and they will definitely not stick to their previous idealism. They have the most rigorous organization, the most advanced technology, and the most complete technical theory system...

"Mojiao will still insist on both love and non-gong, but their way of doing things is different."

Zhang Zhixiang muttered the answer.

Wang Yuanzhi nodded in agreement, and said: "Mojiao believes that the biggest resistance to their idea of ​​loving the world at the same time is not the flaws in their own concept of 'Tian Zhi Ming Gui', but the Chinese civilization that integrates the ideas of a hundred schools of thought. There is a problem with the Chinese civilization."

"Overthrow the internal calculation system and replace it with the external calculation system. There will be no flaws."

"Then they can love Feigong and build their ideal world."

"This is Mojiao."

"The world is all white, but I am black."
