Chapter 714 Differentiation, Fusion, Alliance and Confrontation ([-])
It is precisely because the legal rationality of the "method" itself is greater than the "conclusion", there is the revision of the focus of Mozi's eight optical methods, not the center of the sphere, and the internal legal basis of Mohism that subsequently overthrows a series of previous conclusions... It is also suitable for correcting the roots of Mohism.
After the revision, the relationship between the Mohist school and the other schools is delicate. Apart from the Confucianism, even Yang Zhu, who had always been tit-for-tat, the Mohist school and the other party have also begun to have a series of good contacts.
The orthodoxy of Taoism is to ponder the return to nature of Tao and people.
As a branch of the Taoist school, Yang Zhu was influenced by Taoism. The main difference between Yang Zhu and Mohism lies in the two points of "universal love" and "benefiting the world".
Later Mencius once said: If you flee from Mo, you must return to Yang; if you escape from Yang, you must return to Confucianism.The reason for this is actually very easy to understand.
Originally, the Mohists wanted short brown straw sandals, which would benefit the whole world.Many people couldn't bear it, and ran to the Yang Zhu School; Yang Zhu's side talked about self-interest and self-interest all day long, so those who defected went to become Confucianism in which the gentleman returned to etiquette to bring peace to the world; After a long time of benevolence and righteousness, it is not as good as the Mo family holding a sword to do something serious, so the rebels all ran to the Mo family.
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. If everyone in the world does this, the world will naturally benefit greatly.
This is also a theory born out of "self-hua". In other words, private property is inviolable, human freedom cannot be compelled, and human life needs to be cherished. If everyone does this, the world will benefit greatly.
The princes and nobles violated personal property and plundered private wealth.
The Mohists benefited the whole world, they used organization and violence to confront, they did not achieve "precious life", nor did they achieve "freedom", so Yang Zhu also opposed it.
The same is true for the theory of universal love. The Mohists believe that everyone loves each other, and Yang Zhu believes that everyone is self-interested. These are two extremes in themselves, but if any of these two extremes can be achieved, then the world will be ruled.
But the explanation for universal love is that "people are self-interested, and people are also seeking profit, and the highest degree of self-interest is universal love, so as to obtain a love that is several times as much as one loves oneself."
This kind of "reconciliation" was also accepted by Yang Zhu, because Mohism recognizes things like people's pursuit of profit and integrity.
But the nature of this harmony is closely related to Sishang and the situation in the world.
The world is now divided into Sishang and Sishangwai.
The internal education in Sishang is based on the premise of cultivating an imaginary community "Tianxia", which is similar to a civil religion, so that the younger generation of Sishang is full of dedication and honor to the constitution of Tianxia, a civil religion. A country that has not yet formed, but a kind of patriotism fabricated into a civil religion named for the benefit of the world.
Discipline, sense of honor, messianic complex, dedication, imaginary community of Tianxia instilled in childhood, dialectical unity of self-interest and Tianxiali, and the distinction between power circles, etc. People strive for them to join organizations that benefit the world.
The original debate between the Mohists and Yang Zhu was because the Mohists wanted to attract Yang Zhu's disciples. After all, there were only so many cultural people at this time, and they were robbing each other, so the Mohists were always aggressive before.
Today in a debate with Confucianism, take away a group of disciples to rebel against Confucianism and return to Mohism, Qin Huali is an example; There is a chivalrous spirit in culture, which can be either persuaded or subdued, such as Xian Zishuo.
Mozi founded a sect by himself, debated and fought, and finally had hundreds of organized disciples.
After Sishang was built and he started to train 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 Sishang, the Mohist struggle strategy has changed from "become the most reasonable sect in the world first, and attract more people to benefit the world"; , more than [-] reservists, the largest literate population in the world, and the highest tax revenue in the world, I will do it myself, and you just don’t get in the way.”
Can the Yang Zhu school solve the feudal aristocracy?Can Zhuxia move towards an era of capital budding where "private property is inviolable, everyone is self-interested, and free"?
After investigating this issue, I came to the conclusion that the truth is true, but the reality is not.
Because if Yang Zhu’s faction wants to succeed, it needs small landlords, small businessmen, and small citizens who have private property in the world but are suppressed by the feudal aristocracy to have enough population to overthrow the feudal aristocracy.
The problem is that apart from the leapfrog development in Sishang, the population of small landlords, small businessmen, and small citizens with private property in other parts of the world is too small.Counting on them, a sufficient population base can be accumulated in the Year of the Monkey, so that "everyone's self-interest" will induce everyone to resist, forming a spontaneous, sweeping old era, and a big change that will be overwhelming.
I feel that with the distribution of population classes in the world today, the main force to do things is still land-feuding peasants, bankrupt peasants, and escaped serfs.Of course, these people are used, but the "righteousness" of Mohism is actually on the side of industrial and commercial development, and these people are just allies but not comrades.
This is the difference between the Mohist school and the Yang Zhu school about "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 to lead farmers, escaped serfs, and the new generation of Sishang they transformed into to benefit the world. world.
Yang Zhu hoped that everyone would be self-interested, and that when he was violated in the future, through extensive self-interest, he would spontaneously forge a sword to kill the emperor.
The Mohists hope that everyone will benefit the heart of the world, and without waiting for the future, rely on dedication to forge a sword, hold it in the hands of the organization, and go to kill the emperor.
After Sishang began to promulgate a series of laws and regulations, legal discussions with people as the main body of law began to appear, and the law of the people system to determine taxation and start wars and other principled issues began, Yang Zhu School naturally began to lean towards Mohism.
And that's exactly what Shi wants.
After Sishang defeated the Qi State, he was ready to announce to the world that he would overthrow the Emperor Zhou and other princes. In the future, the spread of Mohism outside would be greatly affected.
The difference between the inside and outside of Sishang also makes the direction of publicity very different.
In Sishangnei, newcomers who preach to be real citizens, real people of the world, willing to benefit the world and make contributions to benefit the world have a sense of honor, because Sishangnei has overthrown the feudal aristocracy and can educate the real people of the republic.
In addition to Sishang, schools like Yang Zhu are needed to promote self-interest, self-interest, non-infringement of other people's property, and protection of one's own interests, which are still "infancy" thoughts, thus forming a kind of confusion and natural aversion to feudal aristocracy , to maximize the use of the power of small landlords, businessmen, and small citizens-they may not be willing to benefit the world, but they are definitely willing to benefit themselves, for me, for their lives, not to invade other people's wealth, and not to let others invade their own property.
They are allies, but not comrades. This is the difference between inside and outside Sishang, including the difference in the direction of propaganda and education.
For my highest level, if you rob me, I will stab you twice, including "legal" robbing by nobles, but if you want to rob others, I will condemn you, but I will not show up.
The highest state of universal love is the suffering of all people in the world. We must fight endlessly and settle injustices with the ideal of dedicating ourselves to the most magnificent cause in the world.
The latter education model is destined to require a series of national education from an early age, which can only be carried out within Sishang.
The former education model requires a few books and lectures by a few people to spread the seeds of enlightenment. It may not understand everything, and it may not be beneficial to the hearts of the world, but it also understands that its own interests have been violated by the nobles.
This kind of distinction is destined to be impossible for the Mohists to do.
Because the Mohists can't promote "benefiting the world" within Sishang and "benefiting oneself and valuing life" outside Sishang; they can't promote the collectivism concept of a large collective - Tianxia - this society within Sishang. , and promoted the completely individualistic concept of self and self on Sishang.
Then the Propaganda Department will go crazy, and the Mo family will explode first.
It's not that the Xuanyi Department can't demonstrate the dialectical unity of "benefiting oneself and benefiting the world", it has always been this way inside Sishang.
Rather, this concept of dialectical unity needs to be taught and contacted from an early age before it can be recognized.Outside of Sishang, as far as the general logical thinking ability accepted by the small landlords and petty bourgeoisie is concerned, the set of Yang Zhu School is more provocative and easier to be accepted by that class.
Only in this way can we form a broad alliance inside and outside Sishang. The Mohists rely on the ideal of benefiting the world to gather force in Sishang; externally rely on self-interest and self-interest of human nature such as self-interest as foreign aid. Once they fight out, they can get support and even Respond with an uprising.
After the reunification, the concept of benefiting the world was blurred into the most perfect form of "patriotism", the civil religion, and formed the world's first black powder republic in the age of enlightenment.
Suitability is inaccurate and continues to leap forward. He is sure that he can't do it, so he doesn't need to think about longer-term things.Colonial plunder, primitive accumulation, cruel competition... All these will inevitably appear in the future, and will inevitably die out. As long as some seeds are left, a new era will eventually sprout.
The most important seed is the extremely inefficient primitive steam engines standing in the Sishang coal mining area. According to the speed at which land annexation was completed in 200 years of inaction in the Han Dynasty, it should be enough to achieve land annexation in 200 years of inaction Complete the industrial revolution before the limit and jump out of the strange circle. This is what people will do later.
Now that the seed has been planted, all he has to do is to prepare the most suitable soil for the seed to grow.
This piece of soil to be prepared now still needs to use Mo Zhe who will die for the benefit of the world, and it will not take long to use capital, a monster with self-awareness. Now he is still young and needs many people who will die for the benefit of the world. Only by sacrificing blood can the best Mohist care for his growth, thus changing the active force of historical rolling from ideal devotion to historical inevitability.
Shi knew from the very beginning that he must betray Li Tianxia and Universal Love, because most of the people in Tianxia are small farmers now.
In the long run, they will get real benefits, get rid of the cycle of annexation, and get rid of the oppression of the barbarians, but in the long run...they are all dead.
I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but he can't help but think that when he dies in the future, he will really meet Mozi on the other side. Competition, small peasants went bankrupt, cottage handicrafts gradually fell into abject poverty, under the slogan of Zhuxia and Kyushu, the poor soldiers suppressed the rebellion in the colonies one after another for the benefit of the factory owners, how would you evaluate him, the most popular Where is one of the most respected disciples?
Of course, Mozi would also see that there are many factories producing cloth dozens of times that of the previous era. Scholars who inherited Mo Bian Tianzhi observed the transit of Venus and measured the distance between the sun and the sun. There are so many adventurers who look resolute on the mast, students in the classroom are arguing whether the calculation of infinitesimal to zero is reasonable, the popularization of agricultural equipment liberates the tired hands of farmers, everyone's equality becomes a matter of course that cannot be offended, and the benefit of the world is disillusioned. Idealists either take a long voyage by boat, or stay in Kyushu and continue to make fire to burn themselves to illuminate others...
Thinking of all this, Shi was dazed in a daze, and after an unknown amount of time, a word from the secretary who had been waiting for a long time finally came to his ears.
"Giant?"
Shi was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he was talking about himself, not the gentleman who had been buried under the jujube grove and the peach grove.
"In every era, there will be people who are willing to die for the benefit of the world, walking on the road of great benefit for the world, just like you, sir, weathering the wind and rain. People can die, and the way of benefiting the world may change, but the ideal of benefiting the world will not die .”
After saying such a sentence without thinking, the secretary beside him was also stunned. He couldn't help sighing, and thought: "Is the giant missing Zimozi? If Zimozi is still alive, seeing that all schools of thought are now The scene of coming to Sishang must be gratifying."
Thinking this way in my heart, but I didn't answer the words.
Shi restrained his mind and said after a long time: "Show me the rest of the reception list."
The secretary hurriedly found two pieces of paper from the leather bag, scanned them roughly, and saw Gao Zi's name.
This time Gao Zi was in charge of a public debate with Confucianism, and the subject of the debate was human nature.
This is not just arguing with Confucianism, but more importantly, it enables the Mohist view of human nature to be compatible with other schools of thought.
Gao Zi's level is there, that's for sure, the main reason why he hasn't been well-known in the Mohist school is that he was considered a speculator from the beginning.
I don't care how many people are really beneficial to the world, and how many opportunists there are. At this point, speculators are not only a kind of harm, but also a kind of strength that can be borrowed.
If it was so miserable that the princes of the world attacked the remote areas where they were wiped out, and the situation was extremely bad, Shi would naturally choose another way. It seems impossible now. Not fighting Sishang is just delaying time to train more cadres. Wait for more speculators.
After looking at Gao Zi's arrangement, I thought of the famous debate in my previous life, and said with a smile in my heart: "Gao Zi, Gao Zi, this time the pen is in our hands, and the reasoning is far better than before. If you can't argue anymore If you win, you will be ridiculed for thousands of years."
The secretary saw that he stared at Gao Zi's name, and asked, "Ju Zi, is there anything wrong with Gao Zi's arrangement?"
Shake your head.
"No problem, very good. The debate will be the day after tomorrow, right? When the time comes, after the process of the debate is recorded, write a copy for me immediately."
"Yes."
The secretary took out a pen and wrote it down in a small notebook, then flipped through the list casually, and a name that surprised Shi came into view.
Pointing to the name marked "Dan" on it, he asked, "Who is this person?"
The secretary was well-informed and knowledgeable, took a look, but didn't bother to look through the materials, and said, "This person was originally Zhou's Taishi, so he can be called Taishi Dan."
"He inherited the teachings of Lao Tzu and Lao Lai Tzu. Seeing the decline of the Zhou Dynasty and the lack of avenues, he resigned and came to Sishang. This man is well-known in Zhou Jingji and the Taoist family of the Three Jin Dynasties, and he is also in charge of books. Taishi, who is well versed in ancient and modern times, came to Sishang this time to discuss the issue of 'Tao'."
"He is a solitary faction. He has preached to people on weekdays, but he doesn't accept disciples. It's just that he has talent, and he is the first person who is an official in Zhou Dynasty to visit us. Therefore, the standard of hospitality A little higher."
The secretary thought it was appropriate to ask if the standard was a bit high, so he explained that after all, this was the first visit by an official under the name of Emperor Zhou, and the two families of Mo and Dao had a close relationship on the issue of Dao, and they were both anti-Confucian. , the mysterious and mysterious way also involves the legality of the Mohist government, and the secretary knows this.
But Shi didn't think it was a high standard. Although he had seen many sages who could only be seen in books before, but Tai Shidan... the status of later generations was a bit too high, so he was still a little excited.
Taishi Dan is neither Lao Tzu nor Lao Lai Zi, because when Tai Shi Dan traveled westward to Qin, it was the time of Qin Xiangong, and Hangu Pass was not Xiongguan at this time. Although it has this place name, it definitely does not belong to Qin State.
Moreover, Qin Xiangong is the son Lian whom Sheng Chuo and others took refuge in. Originally, he had to wait many years before he had the opportunity to return to China to seize the throne. Therefore, Tai Shidan was not the Lao Tzu who Confucius asked about rituals, but was born more than a hundred years later.
Integrating Taoist knowledge, the last book left is Taoism and Dejing.
But before that, Taoism has been passed down for a long time. There is a school in Chu State. Liezi Yang Zhu’s school is also a branch of Taoism. Guanzi School is regarded as the name of Huang Lao’s school. .
Although I really want to meet this character who rides a bull westward in person, one of the prototype characters of Laozi who is one with Lao Laizi and Li Dan, but after thinking about it for the first time, it is really inappropriate for him to meet him .
The person who went to receive the interview was also a newly elected member of the Central Committee of the Mohist school, not Qiwuhai, but the standard was already very high compared to a person who did not belong to the faction.
After all, these people have no front and rear eyes, and they don't know that this person was a figure who influenced 2000 people in the entire Zhuxia in the original history.
Shi tapped the paper lightly, and said in his heart that when it comes to power now, I am afraid that he is not weaker than Qin Xiangong who you went to see back then. I wonder if you will stay. There is also a library on Sishang, so you can stay. Come down to study.
He decided not to meet Zhou Taishi Dan, one of the three bodies of Lao Tzu, for the time being, closed the file, and instructed the secretary again.
"Remember, as soon as the debate between Gaozi and Confucianism is over, copy the contents and give me a copy as soon as possible."
(End of this chapter)
It is precisely because the legal rationality of the "method" itself is greater than the "conclusion", there is the revision of the focus of Mozi's eight optical methods, not the center of the sphere, and the internal legal basis of Mohism that subsequently overthrows a series of previous conclusions... It is also suitable for correcting the roots of Mohism.

Can the Yang Zhu school solve the feudal aristocracy?Can Zhuxia move towards an era of capital budding where "private property is inviolable, everyone is self-interested, and free"?
After investigating this issue, I came to the conclusion that the truth is true, but the reality is not.
Because if Yang Zhu’s faction wants to succeed, it needs small landlords, small businessmen, and small citizens who have private property in the world but are suppressed by the feudal aristocracy to have enough population to overthrow the feudal aristocracy.

Yang Zhu hoped that everyone would be self-interested, and that when he was violated in the future, through extensive self-interest, he would spontaneously forge a sword to kill the emperor.

I don't care how many people are really beneficial to the world, and how many opportunists there are. At this point, speculators are not only a kind of harm, but also a kind of strength that can be borrowed.
If it was so miserable that the princes of the world attacked the remote areas where they were wiped out, and the situation was extremely bad, Shi would naturally choose another way. It seems impossible now. Not fighting Sishang is just delaying time to train more cadres. Wait for more speculators.
After looking at Gao Zi's arrangement, I thought of the famous debate in my previous life, and said with a smile in my heart: "Gao Zi, Gao Zi, this time the pen is in our hands, and the reasoning is far better than before. If you can't argue anymore If you win, you will be ridiculed for thousands of years."
The secretary saw that he stared at Gao Zi's name, and asked, "Ju Zi, is there anything wrong with Gao Zi's arrangement?"
Shake your head.
"No problem, very good. The debate will be the day after tomorrow, right? When the time comes, after the process of the debate is recorded, write a copy for me immediately."
"Yes."
The secretary took out a pen and wrote it down in a small notebook, then flipped through the list casually, and a name that surprised Shi came into view.
Pointing to the name marked "Dan" on it, he asked, "Who is this person?"
The secretary was well-informed and knowledgeable, took a look, but didn't bother to look through the materials, and said, "This person was originally Zhou's Taishi, so he can be called Taishi Dan."
"He inherited the teachings of Lao Tzu and Lao Lai Tzu. Seeing the decline of the Zhou Dynasty and the lack of avenues, he resigned and came to Sishang. This man is well-known in Zhou Jingji and the Taoist family of the Three Jin Dynasties, and he is also in charge of books. Taishi, who is well versed in ancient and modern times, came to Sishang this time to discuss the issue of 'Tao'."
"He is a solitary faction. He has preached to people on weekdays, but he doesn't accept disciples. It's just that he has talent, and he is the first person who is an official in Zhou Dynasty to visit us. Therefore, the standard of hospitality A little higher."
The secretary thought it was appropriate to ask if the standard was a bit high, so he explained that after all, this was the first visit by an official under the name of Emperor Zhou, and the two families of Mo and Dao had a close relationship on the issue of Dao, and they were both anti-Confucian. , the mysterious and mysterious way also involves the legality of the Mohist government, and the secretary knows this.
But Shi didn't think it was a high standard. Although he had seen many sages who could only be seen in books before, but Tai Shidan... the status of later generations was a bit too high, so he was still a little excited.
Taishi Dan is neither Lao Tzu nor Lao Lai Zi, because when Tai Shi Dan traveled westward to Qin, it was the time of Qin Xiangong, and Hangu Pass was not Xiongguan at this time. Although it has this place name, it definitely does not belong to Qin State.
Moreover, Qin Xiangong is the son Lian whom Sheng Chuo and others took refuge in. Originally, he had to wait many years before he had the opportunity to return to China to seize the throne. Therefore, Tai Shidan was not the Lao Tzu who Confucius asked about rituals, but was born more than a hundred years later.
Integrating Taoist knowledge, the last book left is Taoism and Dejing.
But before that, Taoism has been passed down for a long time. There is a school in Chu State. Liezi Yang Zhu’s school is also a branch of Taoism. Guanzi School is regarded as the name of Huang Lao’s school. .
Although I really want to meet this character who rides a bull westward in person, one of the prototype characters of Laozi who is one with Lao Laizi and Li Dan, but after thinking about it for the first time, it is really inappropriate for him to meet him .
The person who went to receive the interview was also a newly elected member of the Central Committee of the Mohist school, not Qiwuhai, but the standard was already very high compared to a person who did not belong to the faction.
After all, these people have no front and rear eyes, and they don't know that this person was a figure who influenced 2000 people in the entire Zhuxia in the original history.
Shi tapped the paper lightly, and said in his heart that when it comes to power now, I am afraid that he is not weaker than Qin Xiangong who you went to see back then. I wonder if you will stay. There is also a library on Sishang, so you can stay. Come down to study.
He decided not to meet Zhou Taishi Dan, one of the three bodies of Lao Tzu, for the time being, closed the file, and instructed the secretary again.
"Remember, as soon as the debate between Gaozi and Confucianism is over, copy the contents and give me a copy as soon as possible."
