Chapter 375 Mohist

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ??Gui Valley, several years have passed since the last crisis in the Weiguo territory, but now the gates of Gui Valley are tightly closed, because with the increasing number and brutality of wars, traveling around the world has become a high-risk job.  Many people have been killed in Guigu Xuanyi. Not to mention continuing to get closer to science, you may be killed by bandits just by rushing.

    With such a harsh environment, Guigu decided to close the door.

    This is a difficult decision, because Guigu was established nearly 150 years ago and was originally established to protect the human race.  Now that the human race is in chaos, Guigu is trying to think of ways to protect himself.  The best way to protect yourself is to close the mountain gate and be self-sufficient.  Ghost Valley is located in a mountain valley. The terrain here is flat, the mountain springs are winding, the land is fertile, and chickens and dogs can be heard. It is no problem to avoid war and develop on your own.

    But this decision is more or less contrary to the spirit of Guigu's establishment. After all, the world is in chaos, shouldn't Guigu should bring order to the chaos?  Isn't this behavior of sealing the mountain gate and creating a prison just a matter of not saving people?  Some Xuanyi believe that instead of being closed off, they should actively engage with the world.

    But Xuan Yi, who supports closing the mountain gate, wants to ask how the world can be peaceful?  I don't know what to do to achieve peace. Confucius proposed self-denial and restoration of rites but achieved nothing. The war is still going on, and there is no hope at all.  They Xuanyi are just a piece of firewood. If they are thrown into the flames of war in the world, they will only be burned clean instead of stopping the war.

    Xuan Yi, who opposed the closing of the mountain gate, also fell silent. They couldn't find any peaceful way out, but wouldn't there be no way out if they didn't do anything?  "Can't you just do nothing?"

    "Guigu is not a country, and its strength is limited. If it really forces its way into troubled times, I'm afraid that Guigu's power will be exhausted before the world is at peace. If so, who can protect the human race and fight against the immortals?" said Xuan Yi, who supported the sealing of the sect.  It also makes sense.

    In fact, both sides have a point. If you want peace, you must actively join the WTO, but actively joining the WTO does not mean that the world will be peaceful.  Success does not have to be mine, success must be mine. Faced with the huge proposition of world peace, only the people of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, including hundreds of scholars, have continued to explore and think about it. Only then can there be hope.  Maybe many people will not be able to see the answer in their lifetime, and maybe many people will fall in the darkness before the dawn of great unity, but even so, the proposition of world peace has been placed in front of everyone, and no human race can be immune to it alone.

    There is such a fierce debate in Guigu because when faced with the proposition, the opposite answer is obtained.

    "Closing the mountain gate is the hermit's path.  Actively joining the world is the way to transcend the world.

    You can¡¯t say who is right or wrong, because only time is the final judge.

    Guigu Xuanyi made a different choice. Fortunately, Cao Mo was still alive, so he made the final decision to close the mountain gate. No one could object, otherwise Guigu would inevitably split.

    After the death of Confucius, Confucianism was divided into eight parts; after the death of Mozi, Mohism was divided into three parts.  There was Cao Mo in Guigu, so there was no division.

    The first two schools of thought both came up with different answers to the question, which led to the split of the schools.  This is the price we have to pay for exploration. New answers and new ideas are born from these collisions.

    Lu State, Zhucheng.

    A group of young people wearing straw sandals entered it. The leader was a strong man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He had regular features and was very impressive.

    "Big Master, do you really believe that there are unique Confucian disciples living here?" This group of people all carry long swords, use hemp ropes as belts, have their sleeves and trouser legs rolled up, and have dark skin. You can tell at a glance that they are regulars.  Workers basking in the sun.

    The title Juzi proves that this group of people is the Mohist family, but it is just a newly established Mohist family.  Three months ago, Mo Zhai officially led a group of classmates to break away from the rhetorical Confucian school and established the Mohist school, which has made a name for itself with universal love and benevolence.  Now they come to Zhucheng City just to find the legendary Confucian scholar.

    It is said that there is a special Confucian in Zhucheng. Although he is a Confucian, he is proficient in skills and is a skilled craftsman.  The Mohist school was newly established and was in need of outstanding talents, so the giant Mo Zhai was eager for talents, hoping to have this great man join his Mohist school.

    Zhucheng is the most prosperous city in the state of Lu. It is located on an important transportation road, where goods are collected and distributed, merchants come and go, and all industries are prosperous.

    "I don't think so. Confucian disciples are all good at rhetoric, and their opinions often exaggerate the facts. They may not necessarily be powerful people." Mo Zhai's disciples all looked down on Confucian scholars. Although they themselves were Confucian scholars three months ago, because  They broke away from Confucianism because they looked down on Confucian scholars.

    "Just ask and you will know." Mo Zhai said calmly.

    Through inquiries, we soon learned the address of this powerful man, who was one of the boatmen in Zhuhe.

    The Zhuhe River is already a busy water transportation route, with a large number of boat people, and what Mo Zhai and the others are looking for is the boatman Mo Wei, who isHe is also quite famous among people and likes to tinker with weird things.

    When they found Mo Wei¡¯s home, they found that the yard was full of carpenter¡¯s tools. Mo Zhai felt very friendly because he was also a carpenter before he became an apprentice and his craftsmanship was pretty good.  It's just that when they were studying in Confucianism, they couldn't mention craftsmanship, but now that Mohism is established, everyone will discuss craftsmanship skills when they have time, rather than the six arts of ritual and music.

    Of course, Mohist disciples also practiced archery and fencing, but they talked less about the Book of Songs and the Book of Changes and focused more on technique.

    "How many noble people want to cross the river?" Mo Wei was very young, in his early twenties. When he saw a group of people standing at his door, he smiled politely.

    If Yunyao were here, he would definitely be shouting, "What is Taoist Lingbao doing?"  Are you copying her character?

    That¡¯s right, Taoist Lingbao is Mo Wei, and he is copying Yunyao¡¯s character.  He wanted to see what there was about Yunyao that could be valued by Heaven. So after Confucius passed away, Taoist Lingbao came to Zhucheng and imitated Yunyao as a boatman. While traveling between the north and the south, he studied and pondered those messy things.  His utensils actually came up with some tricks, and even attracted Mozi.

    As soon as Taoist Lingbao looked at Mozi, he felt as if his luck had returned, and he seemed to have some enlightenment in his heart.  It seems that studying Yunyao and taking root in the grassroots of the human race and learning human skills is indeed consistent with the way of heaven.

    Mozi saluted Mo Wei and said, "We are not crossing the river, but visiting strange people." Seeing the various works in the yard, Mozi knew that Mo Wei was the talent he was looking for, and said humbly: "Can you please  Can I come in and talk to you?"

    "What's wrong?" Mo Wei opened the door and invited Mozi and his party to come in.

    At this time, Mozi had just established the Mohist school, and he only had a few Mohists, which was very shabby. However, he was full of confidence. He believed that benevolence cannot be combined with love, and the six arts cannot be mastered by skills.

    Both sides sat down, and the room was full.  But it¡¯s only April and it doesn¡¯t feel hot.

    Mo Zhai asked straight to the point: "May I ask if you are a Confucian scholar?"

    "I have learned some techniques of self-denial and restoration of etiquette."

    "Then why do you still have to work as a carpenter? Shouldn't a Confucian scholar seek an official position?"

    Mo Wei said: "The world is in chaos, and it can only be solved by becoming an official."

    "Why not promote benevolence?" Mozi continued to ask.

    Mo Wei replied: "Who in the world is not kind? But they only touch the surface and stop at the people around them. In the end, it is difficult to be kind to the people in the world."

    As soon as Mozi heard this, he knew that the other party had discovered the same problem as him, so he said excitedly: "I am willing to oppose benevolence, promote universal love, and love the world universally, regardless of each other." His big eyes were fixed on Mo Wei's reaction to see if he was  Not willing to accept it.
