Mohist Tang - Chapter 1317
The struggle between art and science!
No one expected that the grand ceremony of the founding of the school of thought, which was geographically linked, had become a turning point in the contention of a hundred schools of thought. When the concept of the dispute between literature and science spread, even the Confucians had to admit that the summary of Mohist school was very in place.
There are natural differences between Confucianism and Mohism. One pursues sensibility, the other pursues rationality, one researcher and one research object, and has made great achievements in their respective fields, while the other hundred schools are the same, which can be divided into two schools of Arts and science.
“No wonder twice a hundred schools of thought contend, led by Confucianism and Mohism. This is not a coincidence, but fate.”
“The Mohist school lost last time. This time, it became smart and even attracted the school of physics. This time, the Mohist school can not beat Confucianism and can also occupy a place among the hundred schools.”
“If you don’t think about victory, you should think about defeat first. Arts and science are natural opposites and indispensable. In my opinion, this time a hundred schools of thought contend, it is doomed that Mohism and Confucianism divide the world equally. No, it is arts and science that divide the world equally.”
……………………
People in Chang’an City talked and speculated about the situation of this hundred schools of thought. Although Confucianism still occupies an absolute advantage, most people speculated that the second hundred schools of thought, the pattern of exclusive respect for Confucianism will no longer exist, and even the pattern of equal distribution between the two schools of Arts and science. Of course, the leading hundred of these two schools are destined to be Confucianism and Mohism.
“It’s impossible. Confucianism can’t fail. Mohism is just a clever technique. How can it compare with the way of saints.” more Confucian scholars are unwilling to accept the result and shout one after another.
“Qiqiao Yinji? Look at your home and around you. There is no trace of Mohist ink skills. Without Mohist ink skills, our Tang Dynasty will immediately return to the era of eating and drinking blood. Without Mohist ink skills, you can even eat and wear. Qiqiao Yinji is a skill in the Jianghu, and Mohist ink skills are an important weapon of the country.” the people who support Mohism retorted.
A group of Confucian scholars were speechless. They used to denounce craftsmen for their ingenious and obscene skills and looked down on craftsmen with a high attitude. However, after the rise of Mohism, this statement can no longer stand. Every ink technology exhibition shows a number of amazing ink technologies, and each ink technology makes the life of the people of the Tang Dynasty further.
Weishui bridge, Qianjin arm, iron and steel, brick road, four-wheel carriage, ink suit, down jacket,……. There are hundreds of plans of superior countries. From the perspective of people’s livelihood, there is the shadow of Mohism. Unknowingly, Mohism has been integrated into the Tang Dynasty, which is also the reason why Mohism dares to have a showdown with Confucianism.
In the Confucius house, the Confucianists gathered together to analyze the current situation of a hundred schools of thought, but finally found that Mohism had indeed become a climate.
“The Mohist school is too arrogant! With the strength of Confucianism, if we try our best to suppress the Mohist school, we will destroy the Mohist school forever.” Yu Zhining snorted coldly.
Kong Yingda shook his head and said, “no, today’s Mohism is very important to the Tang military. The Xiangfu family has built bridges everywhere. If the Confucianism is too hasty, I’m afraid it can’t even pass the level of his majesty. Moreover, if you want to force the Mohism, don’t forget the lesson of Koguryo’s unique respect for Mohism.”
Not to mention that the court cannot leave Mohism, even if the court is determined to stand on the side of Confucianism to deal with Mohism, the court can not afford to force Mohism away. Although Mohism promises to stay in the Tang Dynasty, it is not the reason for your wanton persecution.
“What should I do? Mohist’s theory of contradiction is about to be completed. Who else can Confucianism compete with it!” Yu Zhining was angry and defeated.
“On contradiction!” the Confucianists were embarrassed when they heard the news. With their knowledge, they naturally understood how amazing the Mohist theory of contradiction was. Once the theory of contradiction was completed, it marked the perfection of the Mohist Debate. So far, the Mohist Debate and Mohist skills not only recovered the grand occasion of the first hundred schools of thought contend, but also surpassed it.
“Fortunately, the Mohists kept their promises and have given up their political ideas.” Kong huisuo let go.
Everyone nodded silently. Mohist school is still honest and has not set foot in politics. It should have given up Mohist political proposition.
“That’s the Mohist’s understanding. The Mohist’s political ideas have long been defeated by Confucianism. I’m afraid the Mohists are also afraid of humiliating themselves.” Yu Zhining sneered.
“Don’t trust the promise of Mohism. When the influence of Mohism increases day by day, the concept of Mohism will immediately affect the world. Maybe at that time, a person’s promise is just a piece of white paper.” Kong Yingda said emphatically. When the strength of Mohism reaches the extreme, it will certainly pursue political opinions, which can not be decided by Mohism alone.
“At present, we must curb Mohism. Since a hundred schools of thought contend, there is no need to say that Confucianism cannot compete! In the future, all Confucian industries must be cut off from Mohism.” Yu Zhining cut the nail and cut the railway.
The Confucianists nodded. Even killing eight thousand enemies and losing one thousand will bring down the Mohist school as much as possible.
“Maybe you don’t have to lose a thousand. The Mohists are not without old enemies, and the good workers are not the only Mohists.” Kong Yingda said coldly.
“Public loser!” Kong huisuo blurted out.
“The public loser is not the climate. He has never had the upper hand in fighting with the Mohist School for many years.” Yu Zhining frowned. In his opinion, although the public loser has a little strength, it is still too different from the famous Mohist school, and it can’t be a threat at all.
“If it doesn’t become a climate, we should give strong support. All the orders cut off from the Mohists should be handed over to the public losers. After all, the public losers are one of the hundreds of scholars. They used to be famous for a while and fight with the Mohists. Now we can only say that the Mohists are too powerful. With the help of Confucianism, Xiangxin industry will certainly not make the Mohists beautiful.” Kong Yingda analyzed, It’s not that the public losers are not in good spirits, but that the Mohists are too rebellious. Even the Confucianists have not benefited from the Mohists, let alone the other hundred.
Although Confucianists also don’t look up to public losers, the best way to prevent Mohism from going further is to support public losers to divide Mohism’s position in the industrial world.
“Second, the Mohists still hold many secret skills to search for the wealth of the people. In my opinion, we can’t let the Mohists control these secret skills any more. We must encourage folk workshops to force out the Mohist secret skills. In this way, we can cut off the wealth of the Mohists.” Yu Zhining said fiercely.
“This method is feasible!” Kong Yingda nodded. The Mohist school acts for the benefit of temptation. If it cuts off the Mohist’s financial resources, it will greatly delay the steps of Mohist revival.
“Third, we must cut off the influence of Mohism in the other hundred schools, among which the penetration of doctors into Mohism is the most serious. It is mo Wu, the son of Mohism, who takes over the position of doctor sun. I believe there must be many doctors who are not satisfied, which has a lot of room for operation.” Yu Zhining said proudly, let alone the struggle among the hundreds, there will also be a struggle within the hundreds, He didn’t believe that doctors would be monolithic.
“Great kindness!” Kong Yingda nodded in agreement.
Kong huisuo, who has been listening, couldn’t help sighing. I’m afraid that after this, Confucianism and Mohism will have an all-round friendship, and he and Mohist Zi will have no chance to be brothers again.
