"There is no Son of Heaven in ancient times, everyone is equal, everyone takes what they need for everyone's benefit, and everyone loves to live in a chaotic world, free from the suffering of beasts, famine and hunger......"

"After the Suiren clan watched the lightning strike the wood and realized the heavenly will to make fire, there was a nest of hundreds of birds to build a nest and build a house, so he was a sage and was elected as the leader to lead the people to ......"

This is the Mohist description of the ancient world, which originally required great logical thinking to imagine and understand, but at this time, it is so intuitive and clear.

The fugitive who was influenced by the Yang Zhu school said secretly: "Isn't this the scene of the ancient times that the Mo family said? If this person had been in ancient times, wouldn't he have been a flint man or a nest? But he's just like me, a farmer and businessman......"

"The Mo family's so-called love benefits everyone, it seems that there is some truth? If I don't build a house, I'll get drenched in the rain; I pluck the fruit and don't give it to those who build houses, and I will be drenched in the rain in the same way......"

"Doesn't it mean that in ancient times, when there was no Son of Heaven, it was really a sage who ploughed and ate with the people, and ruled by food? The Mohists did not object to this, but said that the sage and the people ploughed and ate together, and the way of eating and ruling was no longer suitable for this time...... But if this is the case, how did the Son of Heaven and the kingdom come about? How did it get like this? ”

With a lot of doubts, I can't remember how the Mo family explained it when I was in Linzi, as if it was when the master heard that the Mo family said that the sage and the people were no longer suitable for the world at this time, but only for the world at that time, the master left angrily and thought that it could not be argued with.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally remembered a sentence that the Mo family said at the beginning.

He remembered that the Mo family seemed to have said the word "in", which made the master leave angrily, and he also asked the master afterwards, what did the Mo family mean by saying in?

The master said: "The Mohist dialectics have their own vocabulary. For example, the Mohists say that the word Yu, in the Mohist dialectic, it is to take the meaning of the space of east, west, north and south. You know what Yu is, right? It's nothing but the roof. But in Mohist dialectics, Yu is up and down in all directions, with its own definition. ”

In the word, the Mohist so-called: Yao good governance, since now in the ancient times. Since ancient times, Zeyao cannot be governed. They call this meaning of the whole in, that is to say, Yao's good governance is that the people of the present look at the past and evaluate Yao by the standards of the past, which is good governance. And if Yao is allowed to use Yao's government at this time, it will not only not be good government, but evil government. It's just that there are too many words to say this, and the whole meaning of the Mohists is replaced by one word......"

At that time, he still couldn't understand why Yao's good governance was evil government now, could it be that good and evil could still be changed?

Later, I learned more about the principles of the Yang Zhu school, and I immersed myself in "If the lady does not lose anything, there will be no Yao Shun, and if everyone is not good for the world, there will be no trouble; If there is no rebellion, there will be no chaos at that time; Without Yao Shun, there will be no disadvantages in the future", and I forgot the incomprehension at that time.

Seeing this scene today, I couldn't help but think of the disputes I heard at the beginning, and said in my heart: "At this time, if Yao Shun was like this at the time, it seems to be very good, the sage and the people plough and eat together, why does the Mo family say that since ancient times, then Yao can't be governed?" ”

Confused, the fisherman of Yuan Lou introduced earlier said: "I see that there are fish in this water, which can satisfy hunger." I'm good at fishing, so why don't you divide a few of me into fishing with me......"

There was no need to ask more, and soon four or five people were quickly divided into four or five people to follow the fisherman of Yuan Louyi as long as he fished.

The potter next to him said: "I am good at muddy water, and I have learned some methods when I burn pottery, so that I can not smoke and fire, and I can pinch some small utensils, and I can cook fish ......."

Four or five people were divided, and the rest were either picking or building.

The man said, "Isn't this the so-called division of labor of the Mo family?" In ancient times, Tao Zheng and Yu Gu were both official positions, isn't this how this came about? ”

Tao Zheng is still the official position of the Zhou Dynasty, he naturally knows, plus the Tian family is Qi, the ancestor of Tian Qi is Tao Zheng when King Wen was the king, and later his son won and married Da Ji and had to be sealed in Chen, which is known to the people of Linzi.

The man secretly thought, now Tao Zheng and Yu Gu have them, but they are also very good, the sage and the people do it together, why did the Mo family say that it is inevitable that these people who will become princes and nobles later? I don't see it......

At this time, he really can't see anything, he was a small trader in Linzi, if he can trade with each other at this time, he is naturally a talent, but at this moment, his ability is useless, he can only mix mud with those people to cut down trees to build houses.

If you do these things with doubts in your heart, you will inevitably have to see more.

After a while, the man who had been elected as the leader also cut down trees and worked together, but after a while, something happened.

Two men who were guarding outside came back and said that there were a few more, and the leader said, "Do it first, and I'll go and see." ”

So he took two of the better ones and left with weapons, and everyone felt that it was as it should be, and that someone had to come forward to deal with these things.

When he came back, there were seven or eight more people, and the leader did not come back immediately to do things, but inquired, and it happened that the "Yu Gu" side called someone to say that there were a few people missing, just to make up for it.

After distributing these things, it was time to eat, and the people of the Yang Zhu School suddenly understood, and said secretly: "Isn't this the origin of the Mo family's so-called division of labor and labor?" Originally, those so-called nobles who worked hard were just doing things together in ancient times, but later there were more people, and then there was hard work. So when it comes to antiquity, how can there be any bloodline or cheapness? ”

"In this way, is the battle for life not a battle of strength and defeat? There is no life in the world, all rely on strength? ”

The struggle for life is also a huge disagreement between the Mohists and the Yang-Zhu school, and when the Mo, Yang, and Confucianism tripartite was established in the later period, the three parties each had their own fixed angles, and only a third party existed and could spray each other, obviously the three parties could not all contradict each other, but could form an alliance with each other at any time.

The Mohists are "non-fateful" and believe that people can change everything from Tianzhi by virtue of their efforts. Confucianism and Yang Zhu stood on the fateful side. When fighting for his life, Yang Ru unanimously sprayed ink.

The Mohists are evaluated as "thrifty and abolishing etiquette", but they are not unkind, but the Yang Zhu school is the so-called noble self and noble life, so in terms of benevolence and love for others, sometimes the two Mo-Confucian families spray Yang Zhu together.

The essence of this struggle for life is "Why are the rich and noble?" ”

If there is a fate, then everyone is a minister of the emperor, and there is no distinction between the old and the young, and the noble and the low are all equal, and there is no existence.

But if there is no life, how can we explain the reality that there are different between the noble and the low?

All this in the streets of Linzi, has been debated countless times, the Mo family from the origin of the country in ancient times began to discuss, and came to the conclusion that there is no noble or low, only because of the power to become a sage, only later from "sage" to "hereditary", so that the world is like this. Therefore, the reality of the world is not reasonable, and it does not mean that fate has triumphed over force......

In just one or two days, the fugitives of the Yang Zhu school witnessed the magnificence of the history of choosing the sage as the Son of Heaven, from the sage and the people to the division of hard work, relying on the enlightenment he had heard in Linzi before, it was confirmed here, and it also made him have an intuitive understanding of many problems that he did not understand and required rigorous logical thinking.

When it was time to eat, there were fish and wild vegetables, but there was not enough for everyone to eat.

Dozens of people stared at the food in the earthen jar, without saying a word, and when they were silent, the Sima Commander who led a Sima team before said first: "In the past few days, all the food will be divided equally, if there is a violation, ......"

He drew a small sword and said, "If you disobey, you will be slaughtered." ”

He is not the leader who was pushed out, nor is he Tao Zheng or Yu Gu, but he has more than 20 fellow villagers, and as soon as he said it, more than 20 people immediately stood up and said: "Chief Sima is right, everyone has contributed, and it should be divided equally." ”

More than 20 people stood up, and the rest of those who did not have a sword in their hands, who were not particularly brave and strong, who were not promoted as leaders, or who were only laborers, also stood up and said: "That's right, everyone has been united in the past few days, just wait for the battle to be over." Deuce, deuce! ”

Most of them had to divide it equally, and the leader said, "Divide it naturally." ”

So they divided the food equally, but there was no difference, and there was not enough to eat, so everyone shared some, but after being hungry for a day or two, the somewhat hot meal at this time was indeed comfortable to eat.

Everyone was happy, and it happened to rain after eating, so they chatted with each other in the grass hut where there was still some rain, talking about some hometown affairs, talking about the current war situation, talking about future plans, and talking about the Mo family's truths.

The fugitive of the Yang Zhu School stared at the fire and was silent, and said in his heart: "Now that this is the case, what is this considered love?" Or do individuals have to love equality for their own selfish interests? Could it be that in ancient times, both love and self-esteem were two ends of the same coin? ”

Both love and self-esteem sounded irreconcilable contradictions, but with the revision of the morality of the Mo family, because the Mo family's "concurrent" and "body" can be rounded.

This was originally a difficult logic to understand, but in this small grass house for a few days, it didn't need logical thinking but showed all this with the truest expression.

The more he thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense, and the man thought, "If I am the leader, it seems that I should want to eat more." ”

"But that Sima Chang has a lot of fellow villagers, if I say that I want to eat more for the chief, they will not allow it, maybe they will beat me or kill me, but I die for food, but it is not noble."

In this way, what was noble in ancient times is not what you see today? In ancient times, love was actually just selfish interests at this time? It's just that as the Mohist family is 'in', Yaozheng was good in ancient times and can't be governed now, is it a similar truth? ”

Ben had already thought of this verse, at this time, if there was someone from the Xuanyi Department of the Mo family by his side, it would be equivalent to adding another fire to the boiling water, and he could become an ink master.

However, when it was time to go to sleep, he still listened to too many things from the Yang Zhu school after all, and he "woke up" in this chaotic thinking.

Secretly thought: "No, no, what the Mo family said is not right, there is no necessity." ”

"What I just thought was wrong, if no one takes a penny, if I am the chief, why should I want to take more food? As long as everyone is noble, no one takes a penny, no one plucks a hair, no one encroaches on others, and no one wants to occupy others, then there is no Yao Shun, no Son of Heaven, no country and the world...... Therefore, what the Mohists said was inevitable was not right. It's not inevitable, it's just that it's not because everyone is valuable and everyone doesn't take anything. ”

Thinking about it like this, those chaotic truths suddenly became clear.

He thought, it turns out that the essence of the problem is whether the people's hearts are right or wrong, and it is not the so-called inevitability of the development of the Mohists from ancient times to the present, only need to change people's hearts, and the world is naturally changeable. However, the Mo family wants to change the world first, and then thinks that people's hearts will naturally change, which is not right......

After figuring it out, I finally fell asleep steadily, and there was no more torture and pain of many mental thoughts.
