The first thousand two hundred and twenty-third section, let's move forward! Mojia! (2)
On the stage, Yang Yi suddenly raised his voice at this moment and said: "Therefore, Mozi said: I have heaven's will, just like a wheel has rules for people, and a craftsman has rules! Wheels, and craftsmen follow their rules and rules to rule the world.
The square is round! Those who are in the middle are right, and those who are not in the middle are wrong! Today, the books of scholars and gentlemen cannot be recorded, and the words cannot be used to describe them. The superiors speak of princes, and the inferiors speak of nobles. They are very different from each other in terms of benevolence and righteousness. Why?
Do you know it? He said: I can get the world's clear law to save it!"
This passage, like a torrent that broke a dam, instantly disintegrated the originally tight anti-Mohist alliance.
The princes and ministers who once hindered the development of Mohism and were powerful obstacles suddenly changed their attitudes.
Because everyone found that the Mohist proposition seemed to be no different from what everyone had always advocated.
Moreover, Mohist thought and its propositions are still beneficial to us?
Damn it! Who told us in the past that the Mo family would be harmful to me?
Fuck your mother!
In the past, the Mohist family's ambition was smeared and demonized, and it became the biggest original sin of the Mohist family, just like universal love.
But now, these original sins have been washed away.
The Mohists have publicly explained clearly that the universal love and non-aggression they advocate is not the universal love and non-aggression that the world understands.
There are prerequisites for mutual love and mutual benefit.
This premise is what I love.
Everyone thinks about it and understands it.
Yes, Mo Zhai and the Mo family should not be stupid enough to love everything!
Moreover, the contradiction between Confucianism and Mohism also proves that Mohism is indeed not the Holy Mother of fraternity.
Their mutual love is more of a political opinion.
What I stand for is, love what I love, hate what I hate.
I will protect the one I love in every possible way, and feed the other person what is beneficial to me!
And this Tianzhi, people are not trying to be reactionary under the guise of Heaven.
On the contrary, Mohism's ideas were very popular with the officials and nobles of the Han Dynasty.
We should respect colleagues and the virtuous, respect the emperor and his ministers, understand ghosts and respect heaven and the ancestors, and heaven will distinguish right from wrong by name.
It's so well said, so detailed, and not beat around the bush!
This is important!
Because most of the Han Dynasty officials and princes are either emerging military aristocrats, old and rough, or they are playboys and rice bugs.
They don't want to spend any brain cells thinking about the problem.
There is no need to think about the ideas and propositions of Mohism.
You can understand it by looking at it, and you can understand it by hearing it.
The goal is clear and the road is clear.
Many princes felt that they could send their sons to the Mohist family for education.
At least, the Mohists of the Mohist family should not teach a stupid person!
When Yang Yi saw this situation, he was also very happy.
Mohist thought and theory, of course, is more than just that.
In fact, he has been secretly changing concepts.
However, he didn't lie.
In a sense, what he said is indeed the proposition and thought of Mohism.
But, it's only part of it.
But it doesn’t matter. Will Confucianism and Legalism also make all its propositions public to the public?
This school of thought, playing with ideas, also pays attention to digging holes.
Let’s trick people into it first and then talk about it.
At the very least, the Mo family cannot be allowed to be hostile, besieged, or even slandered like this!
Yang Yi hopes that the world's misunderstandings about Mohism will no longer exist after today.
Mohism is not a crooked way.
He is not rebellious, nor is he a thief who has no father or mother and does not love his brothers and compatriots!
The Mohist family is the Mohist family!
Exploring the mysteries of the world, seeking truth, and benefiting the world are the beliefs and mission of Mohism.
With such thoughts, Yang Yi was also a little excited. He said with a flushed face: "How do you know the law? From righteousness! Where does righteousness come from? Righteousness comes from heaven! What is the righteousness of heaven? It is called good governance! How do you know this?
?Because if there is justice in the world, there will be order, but if there is no justice, there will be chaos! Therefore, Mozi said: Use grinding to make the sun, moon and stars to show the way; use the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter to record them; thunder, snow, frost, rain and dew will make it long.
Grain, silk and hemp are used to bring wealth to the people; they are listed in the mountains, rivers and valleys, and they are distributed with hundreds of things to see if they are good to the people; they are used by princes, princes, and uncles to reward the virtuous and punish the violent, and to steal gold, wood, birds, and beasts.
Grain, silk and hemp are considered to be the wealth of people's clothing and food, and this has always been the case from ancient times to the present!"
This passage can be said to be one of the cores of Mohist thought.
This is also the reason why the Mohists love to go to the grassroots level so much.
Because, for the Mohists, universal love means loving what I love.
So what do I love?
Must be loved by God.
What does God love? God created this world, dotted it with the sun, moon and stars in the starry sky, made the world distinguish between spring, summer, autumn and winter, made the climate divided into thunderstorms and frosts, and made the earth divided into valleys and plains. In addition to giving this to human beings, it can also be
to whom?
Therefore, God must love the people!
Therefore, God will give orders to the sage king to appoint virtuous princes and princes to govern and lead the people.
This is because God loves the people.
Therefore, loving the people is benevolence and righteousness, which is the righteousness of heaven.
This is Mozi's will.
The will of heaven does not mean that man can conquer heaven. In fact, the Mohists respect and fear heaven and ghosts and gods the most.
It’s not even asking people to be submissive.
The Mohist philosophy has always been that God loves the people, so the emperor, princes and ministers must also love the people.
If the emperor, princes and ministers do not love the people, then God will definitely punish them!
Just like it once punished Jie and Zhou Youli.
And if the emperor, princes, and ministers love and respect the people, lead the people, and develop together, then God will definitely reward and bless them.
Just like it once rewarded and blessed Yao, Shun and Yu Tang.
Of course, Yang Yi would not say these words.
Those who know must know, and those who don’t know should be kept in the dark!
By the way, the Mohist philosophy of universal love and non-aggression has never been inclusive of everyone.
Mozi had already explained this very clearly back then.
There are examples in Mozi's book.
Of course, the King of Chu loves the people of Chu State, but not the people of Yue State, because the only one who has the responsibility and obligation to love the people of Yue State is the King of Yue...
Therefore, today, the Han army caught the Xiongnu and gave him a fat beating.
The Mohists, who had always advocated universal love rather than aggression, were completely indifferent. Instead, they became even more motivated to help the Han Dynasty invent and create various weapons and equipment.
Because the Huns are not Han people, and they are not the people loved by the Mohist family.
The life and death of the Huns has nothing to do with the Mohist family!
At the same time, historically, the Mohists also held this kind of thinking in manufacturing and inventing weapons and equipment for the Qin people.
However, the giants of Confucianism, Legalism, and Huang Lao Sect were all made mad by Yang Yi.
The Legalists are okay, because the Legalists know that even if the Mohists become powerful, they will only be their assistants and allies.
So I just let it go.
Although Huang Laopai was angry, he only felt threatened in his heart.
But the Confucians were really angry.
Because Confucianism and Mohism have been opposites since ancient times.
If the Mohists were cleansed, wouldn't Confucians become the black ones?
How is this possible?
However, due to the restrictions of the rules, Confucianism has no choice but to watch helplessly as its rivals and enemies whitewash themselves in front of the whole world and gain a large number of fans! (To be continued.)
