Chapter 614: The death of Mohist~!
6 min read1,380 words
I have to say that Li Zexuan's heart is really big enough, he wants to
directly earn all the capable people of the Mo family under his command~!
Of course, this is no wonder that he is really Mo Huai's ability, especially
in astronomy, physics, and optics. For Li Zexuan, who has just built Yanhuang
Academy, he is simply the perfect teacher! With the addition of Mo Huai, his
future workload at Yanhuang Academy will be greatly reduced~!
After Li Zexuan said, both Mo Zhong and Mo Yun's eyes flashed, and there was a
hint of hope on their faces. They said that they sounded better as the core
disciples of the Mo family, but they did the same job as a farmer. They also
need to do farming. Otherwise, what do they eat? What to drink? Only during
the slack in the farming will they return to the Mohist school and receive
organizational training or other arrangements.
They are all capable, but because of the identity of the Mohist, they must
stay in a desolate place and engage in hard work. It didn't matter if they
continued like this, but they came here with Mo Huai for the appointment and
saw the city of Chang'an. After the prosperity, their hearts were shaken~!
The suffering of the Mohist is something that disciples of other schools can't
realize, but now Li Zexuan's words make them start to think about things, why
can't they rely on their own ability to let their family live a good life~?
However, even though they thought so in their hearts, they would not easily
say it. The organization discipline has been deeply engraved in their hearts
through the years of the Mohist career~!
Mo Huai frowned, he straightened up and stared at Li Zexuan seriously:
"Lord Li’s kindness, the old man took it with my heart~! But as an ink person,
you must wear fur as your clothes, and you must wear fur as your clothes, and
you must wear it all day and night, and take self-sufferment as the ultimate~!
What's the point of blindly coveting human enjoyment~ Eligible to become a
Mohist~? The old man promised you to become a teacher at Yanhuang Academy,
which violated my Mohist law. I will no longer be qualified to lead the world
Mohist and carry forward Mohism~! Therefore, the old man must resign as a
giant~! As for the other ink artists, I advise Lord Jue not to waste your
efforts~!"
After Mo Huai said, the faces of the two young men, Mo Zhong and Mo Yun,
showed seven points of shame and three points of regret in an instant. They
lowered their heads and said nothing.
Li Gang frowned and said, "Brother Mo, you're confused~! The Mo family has
grown from hundreds of thousands of people in the pre-Qin heyday to less than
a hundred disciples today. You didn’t think about the reason for this~? Do you
think the decline of the Mo family was just Is it caused by the suppression of
the emperors of various dynasties~?"
Mo Huai was a little uncomfortable: "Isn't it~? If it wasn't for Emperor Wu to
ban the hundred schools and dominate Confucianism, why did my Mo school end up
like this?"
When Li Gang heard the words, he said with great pain: "Absurd~! I didn't
expect that you have not seen the real reason for the decline and fall of the
Mo family~! Not to mention, the old man will wake you up~! The authorities are
fans, the bystanders are clear, although the old man has learned It's
Confucianism, but today, the old man doesn't help Confucianism or Mohism. The
old man will analyze it with you as an outsider~!
You said that your Confucianism declined because of the suppression of the
emperors of various dynasties. But since Emperor Wu ousted hundreds of schools
and dominated Confucianism, why did the Mo School, which is also known as the
most prominent school of Confucianism, decline rapidly, while the Taoism and
the Law can Surviving in the cracks of Confucianism so far~? Have you ever
thought about the root cause of this~? "
Li Gang’s remarks directly revealed the root cause of the decline of the Mo
family. Mo Huai couldn’t help but suffocated, and his face paled for a while,
but Li Zexuan listened carefully to these old things. Obviously Li Gang knew
better than him. This opportunity to learn is also good.
Li Gang didn’t wait for Mo Huai’s answer, and continued: “In the eyes of the
old man, the reason why the Mo family has fallen into this situation is
because your Mo family’s requirements for the children of the family are too
demanding~! Not tired of being fine", but you ink artists can only "dress in
fur, wear stumbling as clothes, day and night, and take self-suffering as the
ultimate"?
Perhaps at this time because you have your beliefs, but who says that people
with beliefs cannot rely on their own hands to live a good life with plenty of
food and clothing~? Could it be that living in dire straits and hot waters
every day can make you ink artists superior to the world~? "
I have to say that Li Gang's remarks pointed to the point, and Li Zexuan
couldn't help but clap his hands~! It makes sense~!
Among the hundred schools of pre-Qin scholars, the four schools that have the
greatest influence are naturally Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism and Law. But
after the Qin and Han dynasties, their fate began to diverge: Confucianism
became the orthodox and mainstream of Chinese culture; Legalists, because of
their special nature, dominated the temple politics of the authoritarian court
for two thousand years; Taoists accepted believers and occupied Civil society
has become the spiritual home of Youren hermit.
Only the Mohist school, after a glorious moment, whether as a doctrine or as
an organization, disappeared and disappeared in the long river of history.
Why did the Mo Family end up so sad? Is the Mohist's thoughts not clever
enough? Certainly not, the Mohist ideological system is full of great
humanitarianism and scientific spirit~www.mtlnovel.com~ Even from the
perspective of modern people in the 21st century, it is still so brilliant.
Apart from the external cause of "removing a hundred schools of thought and
respecting Confucianism," there is an inherent reason for the demise of the
Mohist school: if a person wants to become a faithful believer of the Mohist
school, he must have a strong spirit of sacrifice and dedication, and he must
have fraternity for everyone. Heart, and can't talk about personal feelings.
Therefore, "Zhuangzi·Tianxia" criticized Mohist school: "He is also diligent
in life, and his death is thin, and his way is great; it makes people worry,
makes people sad, and it is difficult to act. I am afraid that he cannot be
the way of a saint and oppose the world. His heart is unbearable in the world.
Although Mozi can do his job alone, how can he be in the world! Leaving the
world, he is far from the king!"
In contrast, being a Taoist disciple is much happier. The goal of Taoism is to
become immortals. This is a beautiful wish that can attract a large number of
believers. And for Taoism, especially the long history of Zhengyi, there are
not too many regulations on abstinence, and Fangzhongshu is even a kind of
fairy family secret technique.
As a religion from the world, although Buddhism requires abstinence, monks can
enjoy spiritual satisfaction while abstinence, and thus regard all suffering
as a boat to the other side of happiness. Because of this "chicken soup for
the soul", devout Buddhist disciples can ignore the physical hardship and
pursue the metaphysical joy of Zen.
But the Mohist thoughts of universal love, non-attack, valorism, loyalty, non-
fate, non-music, festival, and burial... these thoughts are not enough to
become the foundation of Mohist disciples' soul belief. And if it is not based
on a firm belief, the life of bitter asceticism will not attract fresh blood
to join the Mohist school, and the number of Mohists in the world will only
decrease~!
This is the inner reason for the decline of the Mohist school~!
