Chapter 339 Breaking the city, there is no blood (9)
Qin Huali read a hint of relief from Mozi's expression, which he had seen before.
Just when he was young, he finally gained Mozi's recognition after three years of unspeakable words. He climbed Mount Tai and taught the art of defending the city with a drink, Mozi once showed this expression. At that time, Mozi said that "there are successors in the Mo family's guarding the city."
Compared with the Mohist evaluation that he is no longer afraid of being out of the world today, it is still a bit lower.
Qin Huali was not jealous. Like Mozi, he had no wife and children and was old. He was only thinking about the inheritance of the Mo family.
Mo Zi sighed and said slowly: "I am over seventy years old, and you are also old. In recent years, you feel that your body is weak and your chest is tight, and you will be buried in the soil in less than a few years."
Qin Huali did not comfort him. The Mo family did not hide their deaths and asked for a poor burial after death, but no longer cared about life and death.
After hearing Mo Zi's words, he nodded and said, "My life is probably only ten or eight years. How many people can survive fifty in the world? I am sixty and I am already considered a long-lived person."
Mo Zi said with ease: "I had once worried about something."
"After Confucius' death, Confucianism was divided into six, and each believed that it had inherited Confucius' theory. I have always been worried that after you and I die, our Mohist family will suffer this disaster."
He has been worried about this problem.
Confucian and Mohist enemies. Although Mozi slandered and insulted Confucian scholars, he praised Zhongni a lot. After his death, his disciples passed on their own inheritance and recognized their orthodox traditions.
Zixia, Zizhang, Zisi, Yan Hui, Qidiaokai and others inherit their own knowledge.
Nowadays, the Mohist school has not yet divided into three parts and each regards orthodox, and each chooses a giant, so many things in the Mohist school have not changed yet.
For example, among the six famous Confucian scholars in the six schools today, the Confucian scholars of the Qi Diao family are closest to the Mohist school. The Confucian scholars of the Qi Diao family pursue "not showing a submissive expression on their faces, and no cowardly expression in their eyes; if they are wrong, they must avoid even the slaves; if they do the right thing, they dare to fight against the princes."
Nowadays, many Confucian scholars of the Qi Diao family have come to Pei County to study, either wanting to join the Mohist school, or working with the Mohist school as a wandering scholar.
Mo Zi didn't know how to himself. After his death, Qin Huali was too old, and Meng Sheng could not completely convince the public. In addition, Wu Qi's decisive counterattack made the Mo family completely divided.
Even a faction of Mohists who remained in the Song Dynasty had completely abandoned Mozi's theory of violent struggle of "attacking an unjust country and making the people advance to fight" and developed into the most heretical pure pacifist.
For example, Song Rongzi, the fourth generation of the Mohist family, advocated "not fighting, not following grudges, not being ashamed of imprisonment, not being humiliated when seeing insults."
In other words, don’t fight at all, never take revenge, don’t feel ashamed and resentful when you go to prison, don’t feel ashamed and angry when you are bullied, and use love and tolerance to create a better world.
This was a school that completely went against Mozi's original intention, but it still became a prominent scholar at that time and was named after the Mohist school.
Mozi didn't know what his knowledge would be misinterpreted in the later period, but he felt the potential crisis of the Mohist school from the six-pointed Confucianism.
He looked at Qin Huali and said solemnly: "We and Confucianism are both called "transcendent from the Yao, Shun and Yu lineage. The Yao, Shun and Yu lineage are divided into Confucianism and Mo lineage because of the ambiguity of their understanding of their principles. Just like Confucianism, it is an ambiguity of the understanding of Zhongni's morality."
"In fact, how can there be no ambiguity in the Mohist knowledge? Even if we need to pay attention to synonyms of the upper and lower levels, how many people can understand the relationship between loving both not attacking and attacking an unjust country, loving oneself and loving others?"
"Some people think that either attacking means putting down their weapons and not fighting, and some people find out from what they said that the Mohist attacking the unjust country should be used to fight and make the masses advance to fight. This is a difference."
"Some people think that if you love yourself or love others, but some people know that I am talking about loving others like you love yourself so that you can get back from others and get multiple love."
"Some people think that the synonym of centralization should be the one who is arbitrary, but some people think that the synonym of centralization should be to gather the public will into one."
Mo Zi exhaled a long sigh and smiled bitterly: "These differences still exist among the Mozhe now, don't they?"
Where can I not know about Qin Huali? It’s just that because Mo Zi is still there, Qin Huali is still there, and the explanation power is in the hands of the giant. It’s impossible to say that the giant himself doesn’t know what he means.
But Qin Huali also knew that outside of Mo, the people's understanding of the Mo family's morality gradually approached the latter as Mozi just mentioned.
Because Shi is in charge of Xuanyi Department, the meaning of Mohism that promotes externally is interpreted according to Shi's understanding.
So Qin Huali asked, "Does sir agree with the right interpretation?"
Mo Zi shook his head and smiled, "I don't fully agree with his interpretation, but his interpretation is the interpretation that can best ensure that the Mohist school will not have six-point Confucian situations."
After saying that, he took out a piece of paper, and casually pointed many ink dots on the paper, saying, "These ink dots are just like what I usually say. I know why I click these ink dots and why they are there, but... many people can't find the connection, and when they encounter anything, they have to find the answers from the ink dots."
"Can my ink dots solve everything? It's not, so we can't find similar things from these ink dots when encountering things."
He picked up his pen, outlined a few times, and connected the ink dots together. Qin Huali found that several ink dots that seemed to be drawn casually. After outlining it, it was a figure, and each twist has its own rules.
Mo Zi smiled and said, "What I have done in recent years is to form a system of these ink dots and find out the rules. Therefore, according to his interpretation, there is no need to look through these ink dots, you can..."
He picked up the pen and tapped it outside, then connected it, not abruptly, but more perfect, and said, "You can guess where the next ink dot should be drawn by yourself."
"The times are changing, the world is changing. In the future, we cannot just look for answers from the past words, and I cannot list all the situations encountered by the Mohist school in the future. So this requires a system, a system that can guide the next step in a category that conforms to the logic of the Mohist school."
After thinking for a while, Mo Zi said: "The things about light and shadow that I have summarized are as 'small hole imaging principle' and 'eight methods of optics'."
This is not something Mo Zi feels very proud of. It was just that I studied it boringly and summarized that the plane mirror formed images of the same size and symmetrical far and near, but they were switched left and right. If two or more plane mirrors were illuminated opposite each other, repeated reflections would occur, forming countless images. The imaging of the concave mirror formed a positive image within the "middle", the image formed is large from the "middle", the image formed is small from the "middle", and the image formed is as large as the object at the "middle", and the image formed is as large as the object at the "middle", and the image formed is as large as the object at the "middle", and the image formed is an inverted image, the image formed is large near "middle" and the image formed is small from the "middle" and the image formed is small from the "middle". The convex mirror only forms a positive image, the image formed is large near mirror, and the image formed is small from the "middle".
Mozi continued: "For example, if you give me a bronze mirror in these eight methods of optics, I can know what kind of image it will become based on years of experience. However, the theory that light travels along a straight line gives why it becomes like this image, and has created an imaging system."
"Then in the future, I have never seen a mirror, and I have never mentioned how to image a mirror. As long as I follow his system, I can get the correct result. I cannot list all the mirrors in the world and tell future generations how to image it, but his system can..."
Speaking of this, Mo Zi smiled. When discussing the eight methods of optics with Shi, Shi told Mo Zi that "Zhong" is not the center of the concave and convex surface, but the focus, and gave a method of calculation and drawing. After careful consideration, Mo Zi also said: He thought "Zhong" was the center of the ball, but in fact it was not, so sometimes he would take it for granted.
Mozi didn't know that in this world, there was no one else except him, who could discuss the problems of light spreading along a straight line, shadows not moving, and time and space inseparable in the past few years.
Now he talks about the system from the Mohist knowledge and the eight methods of optics, just to convince the birds and slippers.
When Qin Huali heard this, she understood and said solemnly: "Sir, what I mean is that if one day I choose the next heir, Deputy Second Master, for the Giant, one day, should I vote?"
Mo Zi nodded and said, "Yes. Because after the reorganization of the Mohist family in Shangqiu a few years ago, the synonyms of the upper and lower levels have become a system of discussion and concentration, the giant... must be the one who can explain morality, and the giant must also have the right to interpret the 'Mohist family'."
Nearly ten years ago, Mozi finally understood what the changes had happened after that time.
When the original giant changed from the original meaning of the giant to the same bottom to the current system of resolving a centralized and centralized system, it has become the most suitable person to be a giant.
The Mo family's moral interpretation power for nearly ten years has been in the hands of him, the former inconspicuous secretary and the Xuanyi radical. The Mo family's inferior meaning must be his righteousness.
Otherwise, if he was not a giant, if a person with a disagreement with him was a giant, the Mohist school would inevitably be divided.
Looking at Qin Huali nodding, Mo Zi said again: "He is a person who likes to reason, and a person who thinks his reason is irrefutable. Therefore, he is very confident and can tolerate people with different opinions. The Mohist school will maintain a consistent top and bottom under the system, and at the same time have different factional ideas. This is very important."
"and……"
Mo Zi smiled and said slowly: "Also, according to the current rules and systems, he has a great advantage. So if he becomes a giant, he will not break the rules of the Mo family, nor does he need to break the rules of the Mo family."
"But if he didn't become a giant... he would be willing to use some means to destroy the current system and rules of the Mo family, and only benefit the world as he wanted."
Qin Huali suddenly said, "This is one of the reasons why the gentleman immediately agreed to the commander of the army to decide the land of Teng? He had already planned this battle first. In fact, any Mohist could take down the land of Teng according to this plan..."
Mozi laughed and said, "It is. The Mo family's righteous army is not a private soldier of the brigade commander or a farmer in the fiefdom. The command power belongs to the Mo family giant. The Mo family giant is chosen synonymous with the highest degree of advantage, so he has the most advantage under the system and does not need to make any mistakes. Therefore, the greater his advantage, the less he will break the rules of the Mo family. Because he does not need it, because the rules are as if they are tailor-made for him as the higher his prestige."
"Li, the Mo family has always wanted to be in the world, and it depends on the will of heaven."
"The Mo family wants to do things to benefit the world because of internal rules and regulations. With synonyms at the top and bottom, the Mo people dispatched a company to select Mo family masters and Qi Wuhai, who are in charge of the righteous army, do not need to lead troops personally to make the soldiers surrender. As long as they can persist and then assist with the will of heaven, why worry about the disadvantages of the world?"
