In Children’s Camp, as soon as Mr. Wu Yong’s words came out, it was like a stone hitting the hearts of the viewers.
Everyone watching on the side felt nervous and quickly looked at Wang Xianzhi, but Wang Xianzhi had a calm face, so they had no choice but to remain silent and listen to how Mr. Wu Yong explained the method of "equalizing the sky and replenishing the sky".
Mr. Wu Yong said: "Mozi, whose name is Zhai, is a descendant of a declining aristocracy. His ancestor is Muyi, the elder brother of Song Xianggong, the monarch of the Song Dynasty. His surname is Muyizi, and his courtesy name is Ziyu. Because he served as a Sima, he was called Simazi.
Fish, so he is also the ancestor of the fish surname."
"From this point of view, Mozi was most likely originally named Zi, but Muyi's descendants were demoted from nobles to commoners for some reason, so he could no longer bear the surname Zi, so Mozi was probably a 'common man' without a surname.
.”
Many children were quite excited when they heard what their husband said. One child asked curiously: "Sir, does Mozi really have no surname?"
Mr. Wu Yong smiled and said: "Really, at least he is no longer a noble, so he has lost the right to have the surname Zi. There is no one named Mo among the hundreds of surnames. But most of the descendants of Mu Yi are surnamed Yu. If you use today's surname,
Instead, maybe you can call him Yu Zhai."
The children laughed. They didn't know what was so funny, but they just laughed happily.
Mr. Wu Yong also laughed, and then continued to explain Mohism: "Mozi's thoughts mainly include universal love, non-aggression, advocating the virtuous, advocating unity, heaven's will, knowing ghosts, non-life, non-happiness, and festival burial.
Use this content sparingly.”
"Among them, "Fei Ming", "Gui Yi", "Shang Tong", "Tian Zhi", "Ming Gui", and "Jing" are about the world view; "Universal Love", "Friends", and "Cultivation"
Each chapter talks about the outlook on life; the chapters "Shang Xian", "Shang Tong", "Fei Gong", "Effective Use", "Effective Burial" and "Fei Yue" talk about values."
What is a worldview? A worldview is people's view of the entire world. What do you think is the nature of this world?
Mozi believed that there is no destiny, only the will of heaven. God has its own will and laws, but this will is different from the gods and Buddhas who have various demands, so he gave the carrier of this will a separate name called "Heaven".
ghost"!
Since the heavenly ghosts have their own will, what exactly is this heavenly will? "People, regardless of their age or age, are all ministers of heaven." Therefore, "heaven loves its people deeply"!
"What does this mean?" Mr. Wu Yong explained, "This sentence means that everyone is equal! Everyone's equality does not mean that everyone's wealth or appearance is the same, but that everyone is a subject of God.
, then everyone should be equal in dignity and status!"
"If people are treated unequally according to their age, the ghosts will be displeased! What will happen if the ghosts are displeased? Of course, the high places will be smoothed out and the low places will be filled. This is
It’s called ‘Jianping Tianbu’!”
Wang Xianzhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his fists were clenched.
Vice-capital Commander Shang Junchang pushed Military Advisor Lu: "Commander, this young man is really talented and learned! Did Mozi talk about this kind of thing? Why didn't you talk about it before?"
Military Master Lu smiled bitterly and touched his beard and said: "Although I have a little knowledge of various schools of thought, I have only glanced at them briefly. Anyway, I did not see these principles from Mozi! So I said it.
, I can’t say what this ‘wise star’ Wu Yong is like!”
Wang Xianzhi suddenly reminded him: "Hush, be quiet and listen to him continue talking!"
After Mr. Wu Yong explained Mozi's world view, he asked the students: "Let's talk about it together, how can this equality be reflected in real life?"
The fat fish laughed loudly: "I have nothing to eat after eating, so give me the thin monkey's food!"
The skinny monkey was so angry that he cursed: "I'm so skinny and you're trying to steal my food. Why don't you just die?"
Mr. Wu Yong shook his head and laughed, stopped the quarrel between the two, and said: "Let me use your example just now. You are both soldiers in the Children's Camp, so you get the same food, so let's assume for now
The reward for everyone’s labor is the same.”
"But the fat fish has obviously eaten, but he doesn't feel full. If the fat fish is a noble gentry, he can take the food from the hands of the thin monkey and let the thin monkey starve. Do you think this is the case?
Does this thing look familiar?"
The students' eyes turned red when they thought of the cause of the riot.
Mr. Wu Yong did not stop his explanation: "To avoid this situation, it must be legally stipulated that no matter rich or poor, men, women, old or young, all people are equal. Whoever breaks the law, robs, kills, or embezzles,
Anyone who commits a crime must be punished by law!"
"Everyone is equal before the law! When the emperor breaks the law, he is as guilty as the common people! The fat fish is a noble and a gentry. His wealth and status are better than those of the thin monkey. But once he robs the thin monkey and violates the law, he should be punished
Catch him and sentence him! He deserves to be punished and killed!"
When Vice-Capital Commander Shang Jun heard this, he slapped his thigh and said: "That's right! That's right!"
Only when Wang Xianzhi and others looked at him did he react and shut his mouth so as not to disturb Mr. Wu Yong's lecture.
A little girl raised her hand and asked: "Sir, those who make laws are nobles and nobles. How can they make laws that restrict themselves?"
Mr. Wu Yong laughed loudly: "This involves Mozi's outlook on life."
Outlook on life is the purpose and meaning of a person's existence.
Mozi believed that since "people are all ministers of Heaven regardless of their age or age", then Heaven loves the people, and as a subject of the Heavenly Ghost, one should take Heaven's Will as one's pursuit goal! Heaven loves the people, and people also love the people.
Everyone loves and benefits each other. "Love each other and benefit each other" is universal love!
Therefore, Mozi proposed Shang Tong, requiring the emperor and the people to agree on the will of Heaven, work as one, and implement righteous government. Therefore, every scholar and noble should Shang Tong, the will of heaven, and make laws that make everyone equal.
!So that "the hungry will have food, the cold will have clothing, and the tired will have rest"!
Hearing this, the little girl hesitated and asked, "How can any scholar do this?"
Mr. Wu Yong waved his hand: "Whether we do it or not is the next step. Please tell me first, is this the right thing to do?"
The students all answered in unison: "Yes!"
To judge the value of a specific thing and measure and compare it with moral principles is called values.
Based on the worldview of Tianzhi and love for the people, Mozi came up with the outlook on life of advocating unity and universal love, and finally listed the values that should be followed in national affairs. This is the understanding of the entire "Mozi" taught by Mr. Wu Yong to these students.
.
Specifically in terms of political measures, Mozi put forward many programs.
When the country is in chaos, it should respect the virtuous and support the common people; when the country is poor and weak, it should use money sparingly and bury people sparingly, which is not a pleasure. Instead of attacking, it should oppose the unjust war of attacking and plundering; to save and defend, it should support the just war of defense and punishment.
The little girl asked: "Then if the court is ruthless and exploits the people, should we not attack it?"
Mr. Wu Yong laughed: "This is a good question. Do you think there is a heavenly ghost who can 'make peace and make up for the sky' for everyone in the world?"
The little girl hesitated and said, "Maybe?"
Mr. Wu Yong's face became serious: "I said, there are no ghosts!"
