Chapter 313: Differentiation, Fusion, Alliance, Confrontation (4)
It is precisely because the legal rationality of the "method" itself is greater than the "conclusion" that the correction of the focus is not the center of the sphere in Mozi's eight methods of optics, and the legal basis within the Mohist school that subsequently overturned a series of previous conclusions... It is also suitable for the root of the Mohist school to correct the Mohist school.
After the correction, the relationship between the Mohist school and the hundreds of schools was subtle. In addition to Confucianism, even Yang Zhu, who had always been tit-for-tat, began to have a series of good contacts with the other party.
Taoism’s orthodoxy is to think about Tao and return to nature.
As a branch of the Taoist school, Yang Zhu was influenced by Taoism and the main differences between him and the Mohist school were the two points of "universal love" and "benefiting the world".
Later generations Mencius once said: If you escape from Mo, you will return to Yang, and if you escape from Yang, you will return to Confucianism. In fact, there is another sentence: If you rebel from Confucianism, you will return to Mo. The reason behind this is actually easy to understand.
The original Mohist school wanted short brown straw sandals to benefit the world. Many people could not bear it and ran to the Yang Zhu School. Yang Zhu talked about self-interest all day long, for me, so the defectors went to become Confucianism where gentlemen returned to etiquette and law to pacify the world. Confucianism talked about benevolence, righteousness, benevolence and righteousness all day long. Benevolence and righteousness were not as good as the Mohist school with a sword to do some serious business, so they all rebel Confucians and went to the Mohist school again.
The Yang Zhu School has its own set of political ideas.
That is, "for me", that is, everyone cherishes their own life and does not take other people's property. Then if everyone in the world does this, the world will naturally benefit.
This is also a theory derived from "self-transformation". In other words, private property is inviolable, human freedom cannot be forced, and human life needs to be cherished. If everyone does this, then the world will be prosperous.
Princes and nobles are infringing on personal property and plundering private wealth.
The Mohist family benefited the world, and it was a confrontation between organizations and violence. It did not "reward life" or "freedom", so Yang Zhu also opposed it.
The same is true for the theory of love. The Mohist school believes that everyone loves each other, and Yang Zhu believes that everyone is self-interested, which is itself two extremes, but if any of these two extremes is achieved, it will be the great rule of the world.
But Shi's explanation of love is that "people are self-interested and people are seeking profits. The highest degree of seeking self-interest is love, and thus they have obtained love that is several times more than themselves."
This kind of "harmony" was also accepted by Yang Zhu because the Mohist school recognized people seeking profit and being intact.
But the essence of this harmony is closely related to the situation in Si Shang and the world.
The world is now divided into Si Shang and Si Shang.
The education within Si Shang is to cultivate a "world" that is similar to civic religion, which is similar to civic religion, which makes the younger generation in Si Shang full of dedication and a sense of honor for the composition of the civic religion. In fact, it is a country that has not yet been formed, and it just fictions a kind of patriotism as a civic religion with a name for benefiting the world.
Discipline, sense of honor, Messianic complex, dedication, the childhood indoctrination of the imaginary community of the world, the dialectical unity of self-interest and the world's benefit, the difference between the power and power world, etc., which makes the Mohist school no longer need to fight with people outside to join the organization that benefit the world.
Originally, the debate between the Mohist and Yang Zhu was to attract Yang Zhu's disciples. After all, there were so many cultural people at this time, and they competed for each other, so the Mohist school was always aggressive before.
Today I debated with Confucianism and took away a group of disciples to rebel Confucianism and Mo, and Qin Huali was an example; tomorrow I debated with Yang Zhu, and took away some disciples to rebel Yang Guimo; the next day I saw a knight on the street who was brave but had culture and chivalrous spirit, either convinced or defeated Suzizishuo.
Mozi started his own sect and established a sect, and fought with each other, and finally had hundreds of organized disciples.
After the Si Shang was built and began to cultivate a new generation of young people who grew up under the Mohist system, the purpose of the debate was to compete for the right to explain the truth.
With the rise of Si Shang, the Mohist struggle strategy changed from "becoming the most reasonable sect in the world first and attracting more people to benefit the world" to "Is there any reason to argue slowly? I have 50,000 troops, more than 100,000 reserve soldiers, the largest literate population in the world, and the highest tax revenue in the world. I do it myself, just don't get in the way."
Can the Yang Zhu School solve the feudal aristocrats? Can it lead Zhuxia to an era of capital germination where "private property is inviolable, everyone is selfish and free"?
After examining this issue, the conclusion was: The truth is correct, but the reality is not good.
Because if Yang Zhu's sect wants to succeed, they need small landlords, small merchants, and small citizens who have private property in the world but are suppressed by feudal aristocracy have enough population to overthrow the feudal aristocracy.
The problem is that except for the leapfrog development in Si Shang, there are small landlords, small merchants, and small citizens in other places in the world with too few private property. I hope that they can accumulate enough population base in the year of the monkey and horse months, so that everyone can resist by "everyone is self-interested", forming a spontaneous, sweeping the old era and rolling heads.
I feel that, if the population class distribution is today, if we want to cause trouble, the main force is the fiefdom farmers, bankrupt farmers, and fleeing serfs. Of course, these people are used, but the "righteousness" of the Mohist school is actually on the side of industrial and commercial development, and they are just alliances with these people but not comrades.
This is the difference between the Mohist school and the Yang Zhu School on "benefiting the world".
Yang Zhu's idea can benefit the world, but it cannot be successful at this stage. There must be an organization with strong organizational discipline, ideals, and correct programs, leading farmers, fleeing serfs and the new generation of Si Shang transformed into to benefit the world.
Yang Zhu hopes that everyone will benefit themselves. When they are violated in the future, they will spontaneously form a sword to kill the king through extensive self-interest.
The Mohist family hopes that everyone will benefit the world. Without waiting for the future, relying on their dedication to forge a sword, hold it in the hands of the organization, and kill the king.
After the Si Shang began to issue a series of laws and finally there was a legal discussion with people as the main body of the law, and the principled issues such as the rule of the people to determine the taxation and start a war, the Yang Zhu School naturally began to lean towards the Mohist school.
And this is exactly what I hope for.
After Si Shang defeated Qi, he was ready to announce to the world that he would overthrow the Zhou emperor and various princes. In the future, the spread of Mohist theories outside will be greatly affected.
The difference between inside and outside of Si also makes the direction of publicity very different.
Within Si Shang, we advocated to be a true citizen, a true person, a newcomer who is willing to benefit the world and contribute to the benefit of the world and has a sense of honor, because the feudal aristocrats have been overthrown within Si Shang and can educate the true republicans.
In addition to Si Shang, schools like Yang Zhu need to promote selfishness, for me, not infringe on others' property, and protect their own interests, etc., which are still the "introduction" period, thus forming a kind of chaos and natural disgust for feudal aristocrats, and making the most of the power of small landlords, merchants, and petty citizens - they may not be willing to benefit the world, but they are definitely willing to benefit themselves, for me, not infringe on others' property, and not let others infringe on their property.
They are alliances, but they are not comrades. This is the difference between inside and outside Si, including the difference between propaganda and education directions.
For my highest level, I will stab you twice if you rob me of things. It is not okay to rob the nobles of "legal" ones, but I will condemn you if you want to rob others, but I will not stand up.
The highest level of love is that people in the world suffer so much. We must fight and pacify unremittingly with the ideal of dedicating ourselves to the most magnificent cause in the world.
The latter's education model is destined to require some national education from an early age, and can only be carried out within Sishang.
The former education model requires several books, and the enlightenment of several people's lectures and dissemination may not be understood all, nor may it be beneficial to the world, but it also understands that one's own interests have been violated by the nobles.
This distinction is destined to be impossible for the Mohist school to do it.
Because the Mohist school cannot promote "benefit the world" within Si Shang and "benefit the world" outside Si Shang and "benefit the self and value life" outside Si Shang; it cannot promote the collectivist concept of the big collective-world-society society within Si Shang and promote itself, the concept of self-self, the complete individualism of self.
If the Xuanyi tribe is going crazy, the Mo family will explode first.
It is not that the Xuanyi Ministry cannot prove the dialectical unity of "self-interest and the world", but this has always been the case within Si Shang.
Instead, this concept of dialectical unity requires teaching and contact from a young age before it can be recognized. In addition to Si Shang, in terms of the general logical thinking ability accepted by the small landlords and the petty-civilian class, the Yang Zhu School's inflammatory system is more powerful and easier to be accepted by that class.
Only in this way can we form a broad alliance between Si Shang and the inside and outside. The Mohist family relies on the ideal of benefiting the world to gather force on Si Shang; the outside world relies on self-interest and other human nature as foreign aid, and once they fight, they can gain support, and even use uprisings to support them.
After unification, the concept of benefiting the world will become the most perfect form of "patriotism", the civic religion, forming the first black powder republic in the enlightenment era in the world at this time.
The reason is inaccurate and continues to develop. He is sure that he can't do it either, so he doesn't need to consider longer-term things. Colonial plunder, primitive accumulation, cruel competition... all of this will inevitably appear in the future and will inevitably disappear. As long as some seeds are left, the new era will eventually sprout.
The most important seed is the extremely low-efficiency primitive steam engines that are now standing in the Sishang Coal Mine Area. According to the speed of land annexation for 200 years of inaction in the Han Dynasty, it should be enough to complete the industrial revolution before reaching the limit of land annexation for 200 years of inaction inaction and reaching the vicious circle. This is what later generations have to do.
Now that the seeds have been sown, all he has to do is prepare the most suitable soil for this seed to grow.
This piece of soil to be prepared now needs to be used by the Mozhe who never turns to benefit the world, and it will not take long to use capital, a self-conscious monster. He is still young and needs many Mozhe who never turns to benefit the world to sacrifice with blood to protect his growth, thus turning the main driving force of history from ideal dedication to historical necessity.
The secretary saw Shi staring at Gaozi's name and then looked at him, and asked, "Jiuzi, is there anything wrong with Gaozi's arrangement?"
Shake your head.
"There is nothing wrong, it's very good. The debate is the day after tomorrow, right? After the debate process is recorded, copy it to me immediately."
"yes."
The secretary took out a pen and wrote it down on the small notebook. Shi looked through the list casually, and a name that surprised Shi came into view.
He pointed to the name marked "Dan" on it and asked, "Who is this person?"
The secretary Wen Qiangshi looked at it, but did not look through the materials, and said, "This person was originally the Taishi of Zhou, and he can be called Taishi Dan."
"He inherited Lao Tzu and Lao Laizi's learning. Because he saw that Zhou was declining and the great way was not working, he resigned and came to Si Shang. This person was famous in the capital of Zhou and Taoist schools in the Three Jin Dynasties. He was in charge of books and was a Zhou Taishi, and was well-versed in ancient and modern times. When he came to Si Shang, he also wanted to discuss the issue of "Tao".
"He is alone and has preached to others on weekdays, but he does not accept disciples. However, he is talented and is the first person to visit our Si Shang to serve as an official in Zhou, so the hospitality standards are slightly higher."
The secretary thought that the specifications were higher, so he explained that this was the first visit by the Emperor of Zhou. The two families of Mo and Dao have a close relationship with each other on the issue of Tao, and they are both anti-Confucianism. The mysterious Tao also involves the legality of the Mo family's rule. The secretary clearly understands this.
Shi didn't think this was high in specifications. Although he had seen many sages that could only be seen in books in the past, Tai Shi Dan... The status of later generations was a bit too high, and he was still a little excited.
Taishi Dan was not Laozi or Lao Laizi, because when Taishi Dan entered Qin west, it was the period of Qin Xiangong. Hangu Pass was not a heroic pass at this time. Although it had this place name, it definitely did not belong to Qin.
Moreover, Qin Xiangong was the prince Lian whom Shengchuo and others defected to him. Originally, he had to wait many years before he had the opportunity to return to his country to seize the throne, so Taishi Dan was not the Laozi who Confucius asked about the ceremony, but a person born more than a hundred years later.
Combining Taoist knowledge, one book was left in the end, which was for the Taoist scriptures and the Te Ching.
But before that, Taoism had been passed down, and there was a school in Chu State. Liezi and Yang Zhu's school was also considered a branch of Taoism. Guanzi School was considered to be the name of Huang Lao's school. Zhuangzi inherited another school. In short, the explanations of Tao are different.
Although Shi really wanted to meet this person who rode a bull in person, one of the prototypes of Lao Laizi and Li Dan, he thought about it and received him for the first time.
The person who went to the reception interview was also a member of the newly elected Central Committee of the Mohist Party. It was not Qi Wuhao, but the specifications were already very high compared to those who were not a faction.
After all, these people have no eyes, so I don’t know that this person was a person who influenced the entire Zhuxia in his original history.
Shi Qing clicked the paper and thought to himself that when it comes to power, he is afraid that he is not inferior to the Qin Xiangong you went to see back then. I wonder if you will stay. There is also a library in Si Shang, so you can stay and do your studies.
He decided not to meet Zhou Taishi Dan, one of the three men of Laozi, for the time being, and closed the file and reminded the secretary again.
