Three Kingdoms

To be honest, Fei Qian is not very good at direct theoretical refutations and disputes. Talking, an elegant sport, is not so easy to master.

More importantly, Fei Qian did not want to take any responsibility or criticize Mozi's morality. Even if Mozi's thoughts may have flaws of one kind or another, they are still the best of their generation, and subsequent generations should carry them forward and inherit them. It’s not about blindly trampling on the corpses of predecessors to prove one’s greatness, nor is it about slavishly accepting everything that cannot be changed at all.

But how to express this concept better?

Fei Qian was silent for a while, and then asked, "I wonder if Juzi is getting married?"

"Never." Mo Jie shook his head.

Well, Fei Qian changed the question to another one and said: "Jiuzi is walking in the countryside. Does it mean that people like to have children, or even more like to have daughters?"

Mo Jie said: "I'm even more excited to have a baby." Mo Jie walked around a large area, and the people basically expressed their emotions very directly. They were happy after the birth of a son, but complained about the birth of a daughter.

"Why? A woman is not one's own?" Fei Qian then asked, "Under the same roof, flesh and blood, there is a difference between love and hate. May I ask Junzi, how about universal love?"

The first moral principle of Mohism is universal love.

But the problem is, no one can do it.

Mohist morality is basically of this type, which is somewhat idealistic and even forward-thinking. It is similar to the situation in communist society, with "universal love", everyone loves everyone, "sameness", and all members are equal. Both the old and the young have something to support them. There is no "aggression" and no disputes. Everything is based on actual needs. There is "saving burial" and "saving use". There is no waste. Everyone in the entire society is like a whole...

But human beings are inherited by blood. This blood relationship, well, maybe one day ideological awareness reaches a certain level, or the continuation of human life relies on mechanization and breaks away from the blood tie. Otherwise, no matter ancient or modern, China or foreign countries, it will be a top-to-bottom relationship. blood society.

Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, China has established a well-organized blood society. All social status, relationships, etc. are bound by blood ties.

It can be said that a person's life is completely inseparable from the position determined by blood. Different starting lines have been drawn at birth, and it is just a matter of how well the person runs later.

Confucianism was born out of this kind of blood ethics, and then rebellious boys like the Mo family were born.

However, at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the original blood relationship of the old aristocrats in the Zhou Dynasty began to collapse. Some people who were outside the blood society had problems with their self-positioning. On the one hand, some of them directly lost their blood ties. Some have lost contact with their families due to weak blood ties. On the other hand, they long for a higher political level and social status, so these people gather together spontaneously. The relationship between them obviously cannot be blood ties. The love of relatives in the world, this new social relationship requires a new positioning, and universal love appears.

So it's very simple. No matter how well packaged or how shiny the various doctrines and thoughts are, they all serve certain corresponding classes. After taking off that layer of clothing, what is hidden underneath will always be Bloody interests.

The Mohist universal love, simply put, is equal love, and the love for everyone in the world is equal. Other people's father is your own father, and other people's children are your own children.

Well, Cao Cao and Cao Mengde seem to have done a good job in this regard. Of course, Cao Cao only achieved half of it. So even the philanthropic Cao Cao cannot achieve 100% love, let alone ordinary people in the world?

After understanding what Fei Qian was saying, Mo Jie seemed to have been hit hard. He seemed to be several years older. The wrinkles on his dark face became deeper and darker. He lowered his head. .

It can be argued that the common people do not understand the Mohist teachings and the principle of universal love, but conversely, why can the Confucian moral principles exist for a long time even though the common people may not understand them?

"...Is it wrong..." Mo Jie murmured to himself.

Since Mo Jie was able to adhere to the simple attire and requirements of the Mohists and hike the Chinese land for several years, it shows that he agrees with and adheres to the morality of the Mohists. Therefore, Fei Qian did not directly argue against the morality of the Mohists. That would inevitably cause a strong resistance from Mo Jie.

Fei Qian then only told one fact, a fact that Mo Jie had seen with his own eyes and could not get around.

Of course, the reason why such a sentence can touch Mo Jie is because the Mohist school, which was once tyrannical for a while, has withered. Just like Marx also needed to borrow money to buy bread. At that moment of borrowing money, how much confidence could Marx have? ?

Especially when someone who had read Mohist books said this, this kind of frustration made Mo Jie feel even more lost.

"Junzi, holding on to deficiencies and being old-fashioned is like a piece of wood rotting. It is not a wise move. Mohism's morality and goodness are good, but they are too extreme and cannot be tolerated by the people, so..." Fei Qian looked at Mo Jie and felt a little regretful. If he added a little more Correction, Mohist morality is actually a good spiritual guiding force, just like the later generations...

"Zhonglang, please speak clearly." Mo Jie said. In fact, Mo Jie also felt that there might be some problems with the morality of the Mo family, otherwise he would not have asked Fei Qiandong. But after all, one was in the mountains and it was difficult to see clearly. The other reason was subconscious self-avoidance.

"For example, universal love is more important than the word universal. Don't ask for the same, take what is left and teach it, and praise it." Fei Qian said. Love other people's children as you love your own children, well, you can still do it to some extent, but you have to love other people's wives as you love your own wives, well, Cao Cao can do it, but you have to love other people's parents as you love your own parents? So where do we start talking about unfilial sons?

So, when you have spare energy, use some to help others and love others. Isn't this more acceptable than forcing everyone to treat everyone equally? Then commend and commend those who do this, so that more people will naturally be willing to do such things.

Mo Jie raised his head slightly, thoughtfully.

"No offense." Fei Qian sighed. This was another doctrine caused by Mozi's extreme romanticism, and said, "How can there be a country without sin? How can there be a fight between favors? Once the war breaks out, use everything. Extremely. When the Hu people go south, how can they not intend to attack? Therefore, it cannot be generalized as non-attack. If we are friends, we cannot bully them. If we are enemies, we can do anything."

In other words, treat your comrades as warmly as spring, and treat your enemies as ruthlessly as winter. Fei Qian blinked, and suddenly felt that what he told had a strange sense of familiarity...

The author doesn't understand the Mohist family very well... So for the time being, the generous family will just listen to it... Don't argue, don't slander... The boss has said that we must be harmonious...
