The most powerful god in the city

Zhou Ye was shocked and admired.

I have a good impression of the Mo family who met for the first time.

Zhou Ye knew about the Mo family, but he had never really come into contact with it.

Mojia is one of the hundred schools of thought, and the Taoism represented by Lao Tzu together constitute the three major philosophical systems in ancient times, and Mojia is considered to be a branch of Taoism by everyone in ancient times, and is deeply influenced by Taoism.

Han Feizi, a representative of Legalism, called Confucianism and Mohism "the manifestation of the world", while Mencius, a representative of Confucianism, also said that "the words of the world do not return to Yang (Yang Zhu, the representative figure of Taoism) will return to Mo (Mozi)", which proves the glory of Mohist thought.

Yang Mo is originally two sides of the coin, so Yang Mo complements each other, but throughout the ages, people have evaluated Yang Mo with Mencius's general way of thinking of "away from Yang Mo", which is unfair.

The Mohists were a well-disciplined academic society, and their leaders were called "Juzi", and their members had to carry out the Mohist ideas when they went to various countries to serve as officials, and the income from them had to be donated to the group.

The Mohist school is divided into the early and late periods: the early period of thought mainly involves socio-political, ethical and epistemological issues, and focuses on the wars and turmoil of the present world, while the later Mohists have made important contributions to logic and begin to move closer to the field of scientific research.

The main ideas of Mohist ism are: equal love between people (love and love), opposition to wars of aggression (non-offensive), advocating economy and opposing extravagance and waste (thrift), attaching importance to inheriting the cultural wealth of predecessors (Ming ghosts), and mastering the laws of nature (Tianzhi).

Because of the unique political nature of Mohist thought, and the policy of collusion between government and school of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty to "depose a hundred schools of thought and respect Confucianism alone", the Mohists were constantly suppressed, and gradually lost the practical basis for their existence, and the Mohist thought gradually became extinct; it was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China that scholars re-excavated the Mohists from the pile of old papers and discovered their progressiveness. In recent years, through the efforts of some new Mohists, some beneficial views in Mohist theory have begun to enter people's field of vision.

What impressed Zhou Ye the most was the science of the Mo family.

For example, small hole imaging.

In terms of optics, Mozi explained in detail the principle of small hole imaging. The light rays that shine into the holes are the same as the arrows that go in, that is, the light travels in a straight line, and the rays that enter from the high part of the object reach the bottom of the wall, and the light that enters from the low part of the object reaches the top of the wall. The human foot is below, shielded from the lower light, so the shadow of the foot is formed at the top of the wall, and the human head is on the top, and the shadow of the head is formed at the bottom of the wall.

As a master of mechanical manufacturing, Mozi was the first to put forward the three laws of mechanical design to standardize the design standards of mechanical engineers.

These three laws are called "three tables" in Mozi, which means that first, we must examine people's reactions based on historical experience, and third, we must examine whether the actual effect is beneficial to the people of the country.

In Mozi's writings, the mechanical principles of levers, inclined planes, and pulleys are equal to those of the people. For example, he completely expounded the principle of leverage, the short arm is called the original, the long arm is called the standard, and pointed out that the reason for the lever to save effort is "the short standard is long". He advocated the use of pulleys and inclined planes to help lift heavy loads.

The pulley system he designed was very similar to the English "Atwood".

Mozi, who is famous for his "conformism", naturally spared no effort in the design of military equipment. Through his writings, it is not difficult for us to get a glimpse of the gorgeous mechanized combat scenes on the pre-Qin battlefield.

"Ganche" is a siege chariot, covered with raw cowhide, which can carry ten people, push it to the city wall, can dig and destroy the wall, can be called an ancient tank.

The structure of the "repeating ballista car" is extremely complex, with dozens of arrows fired at a time, and the reaction force is very large. Therefore, the ends of the timber used to make the repeater carts must be one foot square, and the length depends on the thickness of the city wall. It takes 10 people to operate.

The whole car is made of pure iron, part of which is buried in the ground, operated by multiple people, and can throw charcoal, stones, etc. The car is the ancient cannon - the trebuchet.

In addition, in the "Mozi", it is also recorded that the offensive and defensive equipment such as "cloud ladder", "hanging door", "橐", "xuanche" and "yiche" are also recorded.

Unfortunately, the status of workers at that time was very low, so the doctrine of the Mohists was not taken seriously at all.

In ancient times, workers and craftsmen were discriminated against.

Especially some of the ones who built tombs.

It basically means death.

The more powerful the emperor, the more so.

In the later period, Mohist logic centered on debate, which included the three basic forms of thinking of name, word, and saying, and the logical reasoning composed of three things: reason, reason, and class.

Debate: In the later Mohist logic, it has the nature of argumentation, and the "Book of Ink" defines debate as "fighting for the other", that is, the debate is regarded as a dispute about the right and wrong of a pair of contradictory propositions of "either the cow or the non-cow", "or the yes, or the no", and believes that there must be winners and losers in the debate, and requires the winner to be distinguished. The purpose and function of the debate is to "distinguish between right and wrong, to judge and control the discipline of chaos, to clarify the similarities and differences, to investigate the truth of the name, to deal with the interests and disadvantages, and to determine the suspicion."

The Mohists established a complete science of logic.

To be honest, Zhou Ye's feeling for the Mo family in his heart is still quite good.

It's a pity that he wants to help the First Emperor even more.

This country can no longer be plunged into war.
