A small sergeant or colonel-level officer, how could he know that a simple wedding involving a series of moral battles was involved.

The middle-aged man smiled: "Now, it is said that our Mo family is based on Yidi as the father, no wonder Zhuxia has no father and love." said that Zi Mozi was a meticulous work of Yi Di and wanted to mess with the summer. said that the poultry was worshipping Yidi as his father, and it was a gift of chaos in the summer. ”

"Saying that we have love, that is, a common wife, a common father, a common mother, you and your father share your mother, your father and you share your wife, this is love. You love my wife, I love your wife, you love your father as you love your mother, your mother loves you as your father, you love your daughter as your wife, this is the love of the Mo family. People are like beasts, promiscuous, unruly, and have a common wife and father. ”

Shu Prisoner Mi smiled: "Scold." Didn't Shi Shuai say that the harder the enemy scolded, the more scared they were of what we did? If you want to be able to fight, you can punish the young and the righteous, where do you need to talk about it? If you can't beat it, you can't scold it. How many divisions did Confucian students have? But I think the Yang Zhu school will also be scolded, right? ”

The feud between the Yang-Zhu school and the Mohists was the difference between extreme liberal anarchy and the dictatorship of the people as the gods.

When there is no nobleman, both sides can beat the brains out.

When there are nobles, the two sides can sometimes be good friends.

However, the grudge between the Yang and Zhu schools and Confucianism, that is "no monarch", the voice of scolding is certainly no less than that of the Mo family, and there is still limited cooperation between freedom and anarchy and the dictatorship of the majority of the people as the god and the law of the people, especially when the aristocracy still exists, but there is really no way to reconcile it with the ritual law.

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, "Yang Zhu, they are not less scolded." We are beasts, and they are not as good as beasts. At most, we are a common wife, a common father, and a common mother, and Yang Zhu is a gentleman and should be punished. ”

The prisoner hurriedly asked, "Do you know about this?" How did he respond? ”

The middle-aged man flipped through another piece of paper and said, "When I heard that the school counselor heard about it, he smiled and said something. All history is the present. ”

Shu Prisoner Mi didn't know why Shi would sigh like this, and said that nothing like this had happened in previous history.

After thinking about it again, he asked, "But what does this have to do with my marriage?" ”

The middle-aged man pointed to several wooden stools next to him that were one of the evidences of the crime of "the Mo family is Yidi's learning", motioned for the two to sit down, and asked, "You two also know about Zi Mozi's crying, right?" ”

They all know this story, this is the root of the Mohist "view of character", it is said that Mozi saw a craftsman dyeing silk thread one day, and sighed that if the silk thread is dyed black, it is black, and if it is dyed yellow, it is yellow.

This is also the root of the Mohist morality of "human nature has no good and no evil", in which human nature is not character, but such things as eating, drinking, and ***, which are human nature, and there is no so-called good or bad, so as to advocate the emancipation of human nature, so that the people dare to resist the oppressive etiquette and aristocracy.

However, morality needs to be educated, and morality itself can be used to infer rationally which ones are in line with the "Ninefold Paradise" stage, and the etiquette and rules derived from morality are all dyed "yellow" and "black".

This involves a large number of issues, such as the controversy between "benevolence and righteousness", the controversy between good and evil in human nature, the controversy between the universality of morality, the controversy between the abstraction and reality of human nature, the controversy between the animality of human beings and the essence of human beings, and whether morality originates from universal and unchanging morality or from material foundations.

It can be said that there is almost no Confucianism and Momo The two schools can be reconciled, the middle-aged people understand, but the prisoners don't understand, and this matter is only an internal matter of the Mo family, so the middle-aged people did not develop it, but just borrowed the matter of Mozi crying silk as an introduction.

After the middle-aged man finished telling the story of Mozi weeping, he asked: "Black silk, or yellow silk, what is the point?" Is it silk? Or black and yellow? What do you think of this? ”

"The school counselor once said that the Mo family is like ink, which should be dissolved in water and dyed in water. You know what that means, right? ”

The middle-aged person called the school introduction is the appropriate handsome for an officer like Shu Prisoner.

Shu Zhuqi nodded and said: "The ink must be blended with water before it can be dyed and written." That is to say, let's go among the people. Because we want ink, not dry ink. ”

This is the content of their internal handouts, and the prisoners naturally know about it.

The Mohists want black, not a cloud of dry ink. In other words, what the Mohists wanted was a new world, not a school that would be studied and praised by later generations.

The crux of the matter is to change the world, not to explain the world, to explain that the world is dry ink, and to change the world is to dissolve in water and dye the world black.

When the middle-aged man heard Shu Prisoner's answer, he nodded with a smile, but shook his head again, and said in his heart: "Your understanding is still not deep enough. However, it is not easy to understand to this extent. ”

He pointed to a small jar of ink beside him and said, "Just like this jar of ink, this ink is first water, and then ink." Are we turning water into oil? Or is it just dyeing the water? ”

Shu Zhuqi seemed to understand and said, "We change customs and customs, and we change the color of water, not turn water into oil. Essentially, ink is still water, not oil. ”

It's another debate similar to a white horse and a non-horse, and Shu Prisoner is not very proficient in it, he doesn't want to think about it, he just wants to know the conclusion.

So he asked, "But what kind of water?" What is Oil? And what is ink? ”

When asked this question, the middle-aged man who was promoted by the chief official said hesitantly: "That's a good question." This time, Confucianism is aggressive and wants to go to Peiyi with us to argue about righteousness and etiquette, which is actually arguing about this issue. I don't have the skills to answer that. ”

"The school director said, go to the dross and get the essence. How difficult is it? ”

The phrase of removing its dross and extracting its essence is originally not there, and it is original in Sishang.

It's not because the people in Si are smarter than elsewhere, but just because there are oil mills and tofu mills in Si, and there are no oil mills and tofu mills, so how can there be dross? Where does the essence come from?

Shu Prisoner Mi still can't tell what is water and what is color.

For example, if you eat with a knife and fork, is this color? Or is it water? For example, kneeling, what is water? Or is it color?

The middle-aged man in charge of propaganda paused and asked: "Not only do we talk about marriage, Taoism also talks about nature, our Mohists say rational Tianzhi, and Confucianism says that etiquette is not easy for eternity...... Have you heard about the so-called state of nature in the primeval times? ”

This captive has also learned, recalled, and recited: "In the past, there was no king, and its people gathered in groups, knowing their mothers but not their fathers, no relatives, brothers, husbands and wives, men and women, no way of growing up and down, no etiquette of advancing and retreating, no clothes and tracks, no convenience for the accumulation of animals in the palace room, and no equipment for the dangers of the city. ”

This sentence was circulated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was finally included in the doctrine of the Miscellaneous Family.

The so-called primeval times are the so-called "Taoist nature" of Taoism, but it is different from the natural state of historical idealism used by the Mohists in order to integrate Taoism, but the first state of the paradise within the Mohist system.

It's just that this sentence is just a statement, followed by an argument.

That is, in these cases of the primeval times, knowing that his mother does not know his father, and there is no difference between father and daughter and husband and wife, it is all because of "no king".

In other words, the reason for the confusion that now seems extremely confusing is that there is no monarchy, which leads to this confusion. Therefore, there must be a monarchy, otherwise there will be no clothes, tracks, palaces, and animals, and no equipment, boats, cars, and cities to prepare for dangers.

However, in the logic of the Mo family, it is the other way around.

In the logic of the Mohists, because the productive forces are not developed enough, there is no monarchy, and the Taoism naturally does not produce the basis for the monarchy. And when the productive forces are developed, private ownership is born, there is the convenience of clothes, tracks, palaces, and animals, and there are equipment, boats, cars, and cities, and they are prepared for dangers, so they produce etiquette, morality, and monarchy that conform to it.

In other words, at this time, the world's understanding of the primeval state of nature was: because there was no monarchy, there was a situation where only the mother was known but not the father, there was no etiquette, there was no clothes, no tracks, the palace and the animal accumulation, and no equipment, boats, cars, and cities were prepared for dangers.

The Mo family believes that because there were no clothes, tracks, palaces, and animals, and no equipment, boats, cars, and cities at that time, there was no way to produce a monarchy.

The feudal system, the monarchy, the etiquette and morality at this time all originated from the material basis of "conforming" at that time.

It is precisely because of the word "conform" that it is equivalent to not recognizing the "universal" morality at this time, believing that the morality at this time is not eternal, only conforming, and not eternal, so this is the Mohist interpretation of the justice of the "Tangwu Revolution", not because of the "benevolence" and "righteousness" that have been debated for thousands of years and have not been able to achieve results.

Zhou's rites are not Shang's rites, but Zhou's rites are more in line with the times, not because Zhou's rites are correct because they are eternal in ancient times, so King Wu's war is correct.

But now, it doesn't fit anymore.

Today's conversation is within the Mo family, it does not involve moral disputes, nor does it involve ideological debates, and the middle-aged man in charge of propaganda does not want to give lectures with Shu Prisoner, he is tired after a day of talking.

The middle-aged man asked, "In the primeval times, the world knew that there was no etiquette at that time. Between men and women, they unite in the wilderness and give birth to children, but they do not know their fathers. Do you know why only the mother knows the father but not the father? ”

Shu Prisoner's face turned red, and she couldn't help but think of what happened this morning, and said, "Because the mother gave birth to a child, she can be sure that it is her own." But...... But it's hard to say who the father is. Men are sixteen proficient and women are fourteen, and as long as they are proficient in intercourse with men and incarnated women, they may have children......"

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "By the way, this is our Mo family's explanation of the primeval times." You've never been married, and there are some things you don't know. I used to be in Zheng Guo, and I was a little nobleman, do you know what our wedding was like? ”

"The so-called, see you in the temple in March, and call the woman also. If the woman dies before seeing the temple, she will not move to the ancestor, and the son-in-law will not be able to work, not expensive, not timely, and will be buried in the party of the female family, showing that she is not a woman. ”

"Otherwise, it's not polite."

Shu Prisoner Mi was surprised: "This is what you mean...... After marrying a wife, can I go to worship my ancestors after three months? Within three months, if the wife dies, then it is not considered a wife? To send the body back to her mother's house for burial? This...... Doesn't that make sense? ”

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "That's not all. According to the aristocratic etiquette, no room is allowed within three months of the wedding. Why is it only after three months that I can worship my ancestors? ”

"Three months, if there are children, then it can be seen. The so-called, March is completed, and the pregnancy is in March, how can it be revealed. or a slightly bigger belly, or vomiting and acid reflux, after all, it can't be hidden for three months. ”

"In the past three months, I can't have sex with each other, just to test my chastity and test whether this woman has someone else's child before marriage."

Therefore, if a woman dies within three months, she is not considered her wife, she is not her family, and she must send her body back to her mother's house for burial, even if it is thousands of miles away. This is the wedding. ”

"Since they think that the noble are always noble and the cheap are always cheap, then they naturally want to keep their bloodline pure."

Shu Prisoner scratched his head and said, "I seem to have heard of such rules, but I didn't expect them to be so complicated. But there are no such rules in Sishang, and the people don't think it's inappropriate......"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but laugh again: "The princes and nobles say, the common people, and the sluts." There are no nobles in Sishang, only common people, so that in the middle of spring, men and women fall in love, and they can't help matchmaking, where do they care about these things? Many people have never slept with a woman in their lives, and they will care about this kind of etiquette? ”

"That's why, the school introduction said, the nobles have the morality of the aristocracy, the common people have the morality of the common people, the nobles have the rules and etiquette of the nobles, and the common people have the rules and etiquette of the common people."

"Therefore, the hearts of those who are not of my race will be different. The princes, nobles and commoners are no longer the same family, how can there be the same rules? ”

"Do you understand the Yayin used by the princes and nobles?"

The prisoner shook his head.

"Do you know how to use the knives and forks used by princes and nobles?"

The captive shook his head again.

"Do you recognize the words written by princes and nobles?"

The captive shook his head again.

"Do you wear the clothes of the princes and nobles?"

The captive still shook his head.

"Can you understand the language of the Yi people in the distance?"

"I can't."

"Do you know how to use the tableware of the Yi tribe in the distance?"

"No, it won't."

"Can you understand the words of the Yi tribe in the distance?"

"I don't understand."

"So, can a cow and a horse mate to give birth to a calf?"

"No, you can't."

"Then is it possible for you and the nobleman to marry and have children?"

"No way."

"Then those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Are the cattle and horses that cannot be mated together to produce offspring a clan? ”

"It's not. But...... If I marry a noble woman, I can actually have children, right? It's not the same as cows and horses, right? “

The middle-aged man chuckled, "Yes." If I bring the sun closer, the winter will not be cold. Twenty years ago, you were just a gangster, and you could marry a noble woman? ”

Shu Prisoner Qi scratched his head and smiled, and the middle-aged man said: "Whoever is hired, he will be skinned and carry a pair of geese." When you met in Sishang and hired in the past, did you bring two geese with you? ”

After scratching his head again, he said: "The wild geese are only easy to get in spring, even if you want to catch them now, you don't have them." I've seen two big white geese when I'm hired, but I usually eat them at the wedding banquet. ”

The middle-aged man couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "That's why the aristocratic wedding will be spring." The so-called, marrying must be in spring, spring, heaven and earth traffic, the beginning of all things, the time of yin and yang handover. Since you get married in the spring, there are naturally wild geese, and you can shoot hunting as a dowry, and the nobles have shooting in the six arts. ”

"However, common weddings are mostly in autumn and winter. Where do the geese come from in autumn and winter? There is a saying in "Poems": 'The son is not angry, and the autumn is for a long time', the wedding of the gangster, which ran to the autumn and winter. ”

"Why do the common people use autumn and winter for a long time? Because the common people don't need geese, what they need is that the autumn and winter are just busy for a whole year, the grain is harvested, there is surplus grain, and they can also sell a piece of wine to feast relatives and friends, just hold a wedding. Is it possible to get married in the season when you are busy harvesting, planting, and weeding? ”

This is what the school introduction said, people can only engage in music, morality, and etiquette after solving the problem of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Etiquette often has a certain relationship with the material of clothing, food, housing and transportation, which requires us to exhaustively study the will of the emperor and summarize the relationship between virtue and materiality. This is also the essence of Zi Mozi's 'festival of funeral', 'saving use', and 'non-music' - when the people of the world are still worried about food, clothing, housing and transportation, there are people who have rich burials, extravagance, and drum music, so he opposes it, not against the music itself. ”

"The nobles are not prosperous, of course people can get married in the spring, but the common people can't get married in the spring, so they are sluts, and they can't be courtesy, this spring marriage is the gift of heaven and earth, but you ordinary people don't abide by it, isn't this rude?"

The captive was angry in his heart, but he was even more puzzled.

"As you say, then, the aristocratic rite is a color? But what is water? For example, in today's weddings, a dowry should also be used, preferably deerskin, or boots made of leather, even in commoner homes. So what exactly is color? Or is it water? ”

The middle-aged man asked rhetorically: "When Zi Mozi died, was he buried?" ”

The prisoner nodded and said, "It's buried." ”

"After Zi Mozi died, did the Mo family mourn?"

"I'm mourned."

"Zi Mozi died, did the Mo family serve three years of mourning?"

"No, Zi Mozi has a word, and he will mourn for three days. After three days, everything will continue as usual, and it will not affect normal life. ”

"Zi Mozi died, but the birds, school introductions and others, can they wear mourning clothes?"

"Worn it."

"Zi Mozi died, the birds, the school and others, according to the so-called disciple's ceremony, the batch of hemp is a horse with four hundred and eighty warps, and the linen clothes worn are two hundred and fourteen warps?"

"It's not. In order to show love, the linen cloth is the same regardless of intimacy, and the warp thread is 4,800 strands of normal linen, thinking that in the future it can be used to make clothes, as a wrapper, and to make a dress for children, instead of three liters and six liters of coarse linen that can only be used to wear linen and filial piety. ”

"If the people mourn, can they wear cotton instead of linen?"

"Yes, my father was wearing cotton cloth at the time, because linen was not easy to buy at the time, but it was still white."

The middle-aged man said: "So, as far as funerals are concerned, what do you say is water?" What is color? So isn't it the same for weddings? ”
