Chapter 115 Mo Di
When the Mo family came to the country of Luo, it was like an army, nearly 300 people, came to the academy like a rampage.

Mo Di was brought by Luo Huaichen to meet Luo Chang, while the rest of the Mo Di were listening in the academy.

To the students in the academy, the Mohist's attire is very strange, it is not the attire that scholars should wear.

A large number of legalist scholars went out to serve as officials. In fact, Confucian scholars also went out to serve. The monarch just did not accept the kingly way. Confucian scholars were also proficient in various skills. For example, Duanmuzi in the past was very proficient in vertical and horizontal techniques. Known for his sharp words.

The Mohists who followed Mo Di were sitting in the palace, ready to listen to what the Confucian scholars had to say. The Confucian scholars did not know that these Mohists were coming for them, so they began to explain their views on the classics according to the normal process. understand.

So the Mohists kept frowning, and then couldn't bear it anymore, Yang Sheng directly said loudly: "Nowadays there are frequent wars among the world, and poor people don't even have a place to stand.

Here you are emphasizing red tape that is of no use.

When the ancient sage King Dayu was controlling the waters, he wore straw sandals and coir raincoats, and finally became the co-lord of the world.

When a person dies, it's like an oil lamp is extinguished. What's the use of even a complicated funeral?

It is better to leave these treasures to the living.

Do Confucian scholars think that people who are extravagant and wasteful should rule the world instead?
Then you should go to a monarch like Jie and Zhou, rebuild the wine pool and meat forest, and mobilize people from all over the world to build a high star picking platform, presumably in this way, the world can be ruled. "

All Confucian scholars were stunned by the sudden speech of these Mohists, and even those from the school who usually did not deal with Confucian scholars were stunned on the spot.

Good guy.

Where did this group of people come from to speak so sharply.

Yang Sheng's map cannon naturally angered the Confucian scholars, and they shouted loudly: "Rebels, report your name."

"Yang Sheng!"

His voice was resounding, and the Confucian scholars guessed Yang Sheng's thoughts when they saw Yang Sheng's extraordinary demeanor, and whispered: "This person must have come here specially to debate with us.

Remember to be careful, all debates will be recorded. "

In every corner of the palace, many women memorize it silently, and others start to record it. Confucian scholars have been in the palace for hundreds of years, so they naturally know it.

Although guarded in their hearts, the Confucian scholars are not afraid, relying on the kingly tree of Luo Kingdom, and the birth of Confucius, a sage, in the world today, only Confucian scholars have the most complete theoretical system.

Debates have almost never been lost. Even Legalism is no match for Confucianism in terms of talk. Therefore, Legalism has changed the battlefield.

But this time Confucianism made a mistake. Mohism has the strongest logic of this era and a more powerful debate system. Mohism has specially studied this subject.

Moreover, Mo Zhai was originally born in Confucianism, and he is too familiar with Confucianism. Mohist specially picked the weakest places of Confucianism to attack, and made breakthroughs in the places that are most unsuitable for the current reality. Losing is weird.

But in one day, the Mohists had so stunned the Confucian disciples that they couldn't even speak. If it weren't for Luo Guogong's help with theories other than Confucianism, these Confucian students would not be able to stay.

For three consecutive days, the result was exactly the same, and Confucianism was repeatedly hoisted and hammered.

This directly stupefied people from other schools, "Where did these people come from? They are so talented that they can refute Confucianism to nothing."

Of course, this is not the true level of Confucianism. Mohistism does not emphasize martial ethics and engages in sneak attacks, but the results are shocking.

Yang Sheng's eyes were very calm, and he didn't care about the glaring and praise of the people around him. He laughed loudly and said, "The giant is right. Confucianism is useless and vulnerable."

The Confucian students in the academy had already calmed down, "Mohist Yang Sheng, you are indeed a talented person with unparalleled eloquence.

But what Confucianism inherits is Su Wang Dao, and Ming Gong passed on the scriptures. Could it be that these two saints also made mistakes? "

Confucian scholars have realized that these people who call themselves Mohists have a deep understanding of Confucian classics, so they can always hit the key points.

Those key points are the Confucianists themselves feel confused and need to be solved urgently. Now that the Mohists have raised it, they can't beat it.

But Confucianism, who has completed the orthodoxy, has great confidence in its own theory. Confucianism pays attention to self-restraint and restoration of etiquette. Confucian scholars always think that their Dao is inherited from King Su. It is normal for the theory to have problems, just correct it.

Yang Sheng naturally knew that these two sages would definitely be brought up by Confucian scholars, especially King Su, who was the most respected sage by Confucius.

Hearing what the Confucian scholar in front of him said, Yang Sheng immediately sneered and said, "King Su's way? Are all Confucian scholars so arrogant?
The Suwang Dao embraces all things, is it such an inconvenient thing as Confucianism?

King Su talked about filial piety, but he never told you that you would have to mourn for three years, weeping day and night, wearing sackcloth and filial piety, and enduring hunger and hunger. Have you never been so filial in Luohou?
Su Wang attached great importance to offering sacrifices and burying ancestors, but Su Wang first talked about the value of life, that is, the living must live well before they can properly worship their ancestors.

A lot of belongings are buried in the ground. If it is a husband's family, a funeral will exhaust the wealth of the family. Is this right?
Su Wang is the most holy person in all ages, the most sacred person in all ages, and the things buried with him are nothing more than the golden chamber that was presented to King Wu in the past.

Later generations of princes and nobles liked luxury, so the custom of lavish burials took shape, and even Su Wang could be mentioned.

How ridiculous it is that you misinterpret the way of Su Wang and still be complacent here! "

Each word, every sentence, was like a needle piercing the Confucian scholar's heart.

What the Mohists are most opposed to are the complicated rituals and sacrifices of Confucianism, which they believe are a great waste of social resources.

The Zhou rituals formulated by King Su are indeed very complicated, but they are for the purpose of establishing a new state system, and there are not many subsequent grand ceremonies.

Here, when the Mohists were rubbing against Confucianism to show their fame, Mo Zhai followed Luo Huaichen to meet Luo Chang.

In the storage room.

Looking at this ordinary person in front of me, I suddenly wondered whether my ancestors had the same feelings as me now when they faced Lao Tzu and Confucius.

Mo Di raised his eyes and looked up, down, left, and right in all directions. Countless bamboo slips were densely piled up here, and his mood was also very complicated.

Luo Chang had already read Mo Di's book, and now he was listening to Mo Di talk about his theories, including the practice of the Mohists.

Listening to this, Luo Chang praised in admiration: "Love is not offense, this is the doctrine of sages, can anyone not be fascinated by it?

For hundreds of years, the Luo State Office may have been so harmonious because of universal love.

If it can be used among the kingdoms of Xia, the ancestor King Su's wish for the great harmony of the world can be realized.

How many people in the Xia and other kingdoms can match your noble character?

Mohists and Mohists are all righteous men who should be rewarded heavily, and I should respect you as son to express my respect for you. "

Luo Chang thought from the bottom of his heart that the morals of the Mo family were too great, and this kind of extreme altruism could not even be achieved by Luo Guogong.

But there is another layer of meaning hidden in these words. For the great harmony of the world, the ancestor King Su can only hope, can you achieve it?
Of course Mo Di could hear the meaning of Luo Huaichen's long words, so he frowned slightly. In fact, he had expected it a long time ago, because Luo Huaichen's attitude was also the same.

Luo Chang continued: "Mozi, you want to stabilize the world by stopping the war. This is very rare. There was a war between Wei and Qin, and there will inevitably be wars between Qin and Wei. Excuse me. How are you going to stop this war?"

Mo Di said: "The Mohists have enough defensive weapons. If Qin and Wei cannot attack each other's cities, the monarch will think about the gains and losses of the war, and the war will stop."

This is indeed true, just like Qin State, if he could not break through Hangu Pass, he would not launch a war against Wei State.

Luo Chang smiled and said: "Mozi, your idea can only stop the sudden war.

Let me tell you something that happened in the state of Chu.

In the state of Chu, there was a man who liked to persuade people to make peace. One day he saw two people quarreling, so he stepped forward to persuade them, and finally they got back together.

He was very proud. One day, he met two people who were arguing again. He learned the attitude of the last time and tried to persuade them to reconcile, but he didn't expect to be beaten up by the two people.

Why is this so?
Because the first two people just had a little quarrel because of a misunderstanding, but this time the two people were fighting for the ownership of the field.

Some quarrels are unimportant trivial matters, but the size of the fields is a major matter related to the life and death of the two families, so he failed.

If you can stop the war, it means that this war was unnecessary.

But if one day, the conflict between the two countries is so great that it will never end, what should you do?
In such a world, if you want to realize the ideal of both love and non-gong, it may be even more difficult than Confucius in the past. "

Luo Chang only said both love and non-attack, because these two things are impossible, he still hopes to be able to persuade Mo Di, there are more things in this world that need him to do.

But this is the core of Mohism. If these two things are lost, what is the difference between Mohism and those schools that exist for political interests?

Regarding Luo Chang's persuasion, Mo Di just said lightly, "Bang Zhou's destiny should have come to fruition long ago, if Luo Guo hadn't been insisting, would the emperor of Wang Jizhong be able to be happy now?
The Luohous of all dynasties are descendants of King Su, so they must know these truths, but they still do what they know they can't do.

Although I am opposed to Confucianism, Confucius is a true sage with a purity that ordinary people do not possess. Perhaps this is the reason why I once studied Confucianism. "

Luo Chang admired Mo Di more and more, "You are really a sage, you are just a mortal, and you actually want to change your will."

Unexpectedly, Mo Di shook his head and said: "The sages are those who can accomplish things, just like King Su, who never fails and never makes mistakes. I hope I can find what I want in the storage room."

Luo Chang left here, Luo Huaichen came in, knelt down beside Mo Di, the two of them were silent and did not speak.

……

In the 21st year of Duke Yu, he discussed the Tao with Mozi.

And stop.

The questioner asked: "What about Mohists?"
The Duke said: Mohists are enlightened and holy! ——"Luo Palace Spring and Autumn Period·Sheng Xue"

 In fact, although Mohism is the main opposition to Confucianism, the two theories do not conflict so much.

  The demise of the Mohist family is a pity, but he is destined to die out, so let’s preserve it for him in my book, and I don’t know if everyone can see that the Luo family and the Mohist family are very similar.
