Xia Hongsheng thinks so highly of the Mo family, not that the things of the Mo family are useful and amazing now, after all, even if the things of the Mo family are advanced and advanced, but its research on nature is still superficial and superficial, after all, it is limited, how can it compare to the knowledge achievements brought by Xia Hongsheng from later generations.

In fact, in Xia Hongsheng's view, the most important contribution of the Mohists is not the natural laws and principles they have studied, but a form of thinking of them, that is, Mohist debate.

In "Mozi", there are six articles in it, which have never been lost, but they have been ignored for thousands of years.

It is precisely the ignorance of these six articles that makes China's modern science lack the most important ideological foundation compared with Western science. Otherwise, it would be a completely different outcome. Modern science may have appeared in China much earlier than the West, and the Industrial Revolution may have been carried out in China far ahead of the Western world.

These six articles are the thinking logic system of the Mohists, called Mohist debate. Together with ancient Greek logic and ancient Indian logic, it is known as the three major logic systems of ancient civilizations in the world. Ancient Greek logic, developed by Aristotle a few decades later, and ancient Indian Enlightenment, completed three hundred years later, by Gautama Azuma. Aristotle's logic influenced the Western world for more than 2,000 years, and with the strength of the West, it influenced the whole world. Today, almost every person with a modern education has the shadow of Aristotle in his head. As for the study of cause and understanding, although its influence is far less than that of Aristotle, it has also been incarnated in many Buddhist scriptures, and has achieved a profound wisdom in the world.

Compared with the two, the Ink Debate is closer to the dialectical materialism in later generations, and it is also more advanced. The ink debate of Moxue can be said to be the forerunner of the Indian syllogism, the Western Muller famous science, and the logic that has emerged in modern times. For example, esoteric theories such as how to formulate, classify, and reason have long been often used in ink debate.

Unfortunately, it was finally sealed in the dust for 2,000 years. It was not until China was bombarded by Western artillery that Liang Qichao and others were shocked to discover that it was consistent with Western science, but it was too late.

Although Xia Hongsheng can bring the introduction of scientific research, guide them to obtain scientific results, and bring advanced technology and ideas, it is a way of thinking. A logical system, but it can't be completed with Xia Hongsheng. Xia Hongsheng has this self-knowledge and knows that he doesn't have this ability.

Among the three major philosophical ideologies in ancient China, the one that is closest to materialism and is conducive to promoting the development of science is the Mohist Moism.

Therefore, to be precise, Xia Hongsheng does not value the skills of the Mo family and their achievements, but their logical thinking system.

These writers are too stubborn, do not understand the flexibility, and seriously reject other academic doctrines. Jingyang Academy could never only teach the Mohists. Xia Hongsheng will not allow it, and the emperor will not allow it. However, even if there are only seven descendants of the Mo in the world, they still dare to say in front of the emperor "Listen to my words, use my way", which can also show the persistence or stubbornness of his Mo family.

To persuade these people to teach in Jingyang Academy, you must first rub their spirit. Otherwise, they will feel that they have to do it. I don't believe that they are unwilling to take this opportunity to bring the Mo family back to the world. Pretending to be reserved.

Li Shimin suddenly said that they could crack the black shadow on the wall, and then look at the color on their faces. Xia Hongsheng decided to take advantage of this matter to give these people a disadvantage. Let them know that Jingyang Academy is not indispensable to them. If they don't go to Jingyang Academy to teach, Xia Hongsheng will only lose a few teachers, and it's a big deal that Xia Hongsheng will take some trouble to teach by himself. But what they lost was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A unique opportunity for the Mo family to see the light of day again. They won't be able to see which is more important.

So Xia Hongsheng smiled and replied to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the principle of this thing is called small hole imaging. It's just a little trick, and you don't need to bother. ”

After that, Xia Hongsheng turned to Wang De and said: "Manager Wang, I took the trouble to find a few pieces of paper, a small piece of wood, a white cloth, and came over with a candle." ”

"Wait!" Letai said: "A little trick to play? Xiahou can know that ......"

"Don't be busy, listen to me first." Xia Hongsheng interrupted the words of the music stage and said: "There is a person who practices martial arts in the next family, and he has been learning with him for more than a year. In the next learned a knife technique, once thought that he had obtained the knife of the samadhi, showing off to friends, friends said: carving insects small skills! Yu was furious, compared to it, one move failed to defeat it. When asked why, he said that this knife technique was originally just an introduction, and his friend had already learned the knife technique at the beginning of his childhood. He thought he was the samadhi of the sword, but he was the one he practiced in his childhood, and he laughed generously! ”

Xia Hongsheng's words were actually very polite. This is to tell them that what you think you know is actually just a small trick in my eyes.

Letai listened to Xia Hongsheng's words, his brows furrowed, but he didn't say anything, just returned to his original position and looked at Xia Hongsheng quietly.

Wang De's efficiency in doing things is not covered, and it didn't take long for him to speak, and a few chamberlains came in with the things Xia Hongsheng needed.

Xia Hongsheng asked those attendants to close the doors and windows of the Taiji Hall and put down the curtains. found the darkest corner of the hall, and then asked the two chamberlains to tear the white bully into the darkest corner.

Then he got another janissary to come over, borrowed his weapon, and made a small hole in the little plank with the tip of his sword.

Xia Hongsheng took the small wooden board and walked to the front of the white cloth, and then ordered the attendant to light the candle and put it directly opposite the white cloth.

"Your Majesty, please look at this white cloth." Xia Hongsheng said to Li Shimin. Li Shimin was very curious, and walked down the throne to Xia Hongsheng's side.

I saw Xia Hongsheng put the wooden board in his hand in front of the candle, so that the small hole in the wooden board was aimed at the flame of the candle.

"Shadow!" Wang De suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone looked up at once, and they were surprised to find that the shadow of an upside-down flame appeared on the white cloth, and it was jumping, sometimes it became huge, and it covered the whole white cloth, and sometimes it became smaller, only as high as a finger!

"Your Majesty, it's daytime, and it's still too bright in the hall. In the evening, the shadows will be even more visible. Xia Hongsheng stood up and took away the wooden board, and the shadow on the white cloth disappeared immediately.

Li Shimin looked at Xia Hongsheng in surprise, and then looked at the candle on the ground and the wooden board in Xia Hongsheng's hand: "This, Xia Qing, why is this?!" ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled, took the paper again, tore it into the shape of a small paper figure, squatted down again, put the wooden board, and then put the small paper figure in his hand on the side of the candle.

At this time, I saw a figure on the white cloth, and immediately appeared, but the figure was upside down.

Xia Hongsheng smiled, flipped it in his hand, and turned the little person in his hand over, and on the white cloth, there was immediately a standing figure! 、

"Hiss......" Li Shimin gasped. (To be continued.) )
