A loud shout, followed by the morning bells and evening drums of Wangbei Academy, vibrated in the mountains, making people's eardrums ache.
This effect is undoubtedly explosive, and it takes advantage of the terrain and acoustics to give people a powerful pressure.
The few people following Liu Zheng all looked at each other with worry in their hearts.
This has just begun, but the momentum of this academy has already stabilized.
Liu Zheng smiled slightly and continued to look up at the towering steps.
The steps stopped slightly.
"If the world were to love each other and love others as if they were themselves, would there still be those who are unfilial? Would they still treat their fathers, brothers and kings as if they were themselves, and would they do evil and be unfilial? Are there still those who would be unkind?
There are still officials who want to disturb their families, and princes who attack each other's country. If they regard other people's families as their own, who will cause trouble? If they regard other people's countries as their own, who will attack them? Therefore, if the officials want to disturb their families, and the princes will attack each other's countries, they will perish.
.If the world loves each other, countries do not attack each other, families do not quarrel with each other, thieves and thieves are eliminated, and kings, ministers, fathers and sons can all be filial and kind, then the world will be governed.
Therefore, if the sage's mission is to govern the world, he cannot help but encourage love when he is evil! Therefore, if the world loves each other, it will be governed, and if it is evil, it will lead to chaos."
"Liu Zhizhou, what do you think?"
This passage is eloquent and the tone is ups and downs.
In fact, there is only one sentence at its core, which is "If the world loves each other, it will be governed, and if it harms each other, it will lead to chaos."
And this is the core idea of Mozi and Mohism, universal love and non-politics!
Love is non-political, and naturally non-aggression is required!
These words not only explained that Wangbei Academy admired Mohism and relied on the "Mo Jing" to make its fortune, but also reprimanded Liu Zheng for his ugly behavior of bombarding the academy.
Liu Zheng smiled slightly when he heard this.
Mohist...
In his understanding, they have always been just a group of guys with serious romantic sentiments. Let them govern the country? That is definitely unrealistic. The development of Mohist thought paid special attention to the enlightenment of logical concepts. Therefore, Mohists are good at preaching
Not only are they good at preaching, they also pay special attention to the initiative of "strongly persuading people".
Liu Zheng admired the development and contribution of Mohists in engineering very much.
However, he felt that the Mohists were very extreme and lacked tolerance.
It is too nihilistic, too ethereal, and too extreme. Even the love of the Mohist school is like cutting meat to feed the eagles like the Buddha. However, there is no religious-like organizational structure to support it. This also led to the death of Mozi and the Mohist school directly fell apart.
.
Isn't this the case for Wangbei Academy at this time?
The first person to ask questions is so difficult.
Others looked at it one after another.
Situ Kong also continued to smile, waiting for Liu Zheng's answer.
After all, no matter what age it is, the Mohist ideas are extremely romantic, extremely attractive, extremely logical, and difficult to argue with.
Liu Zheng chuckled and replied: "Government lies in Tao, not in saints. What do you think Tao is, sir?"
He shouted loudly.
The sound also echoed around.
Situ Kong's eyes lit up when he heard this.
There was no reply from the person who asked the question for a long time.
A very simple sentence.
It directly leaves people speechless.
What's the use of saying so much nonsense?
Let me ask you this, when governing the world, do you focus on methods or what you call saints? The Tao here is not the Taoist Tao, but principles and methods! Is it more important to have a relatively systematic set of principles for governing the country, or what you call a saint?
Is the expected saint important?
People with a long history always need a set of clear, tenable and up-to-date theories. Even theories need to be innovated.
And what can the so-called saints do in comparison?
Moreover, what the Mohists long for is that everyone in the entire society is a saint... Is it possible? They are all saints. Who should listen to the country as a machine?
"color!"
"praise!"
After a brief silence, cheers rang out from the mountains.
Liu Zheng did not start from Confucianism or Taoism, otherwise, he would fall into the other party's language trap.
