What are the similarities between Confucianism and Mohism?

The similarities between Mohist doctrine and Confucianism are: self-cultivation, virtue, and kinship.

Mozi advocated self-cultivation by his own actions, rather than relying on high-minded rhetoric. This coincides with the Confucian idea of self-cultivation. Improving one's self-cultivation, advocating sages, and getting close to intellectuals are the prerequisites for broadening one's horizons and achieving extraordinary careers.

These points are similar to the two Confucian and Moxian theories. It can also be inferred from this that the doctrines of these two schools are positive.

Confucianism emphasizes benevolence, while Mohism emphasizes love.

The meaning of Confucian benevolence is that love does not mean that love has levels and levels! You should love the people in the small group you belong to, and only think about the interests of the small group you belong to! Everything that others have can be sacrificed for the benefit of a small group!

I feel that the ideas of Confucianism and the ideas of the Nazis coincide! And the meaning of the Mo family's love and non-attack does not mean that they love all the people in the world! Everything must be for the sake of the people of the world!

People-oriented, people-oriented! War against injustice! Support the just war of hoeing the strong and helping the weak and protecting the weak!

The core of Confucianism is "benevolence", emphasizing filial piety and paying attention to "etiquette"; The Mohists advocate "love", "non-attack", and "virtue". In fact, the two are complementary in terms of level, and there is no saying that one is higher or lower. As far as ideals are concerned, the ideals of the two also coincide.

Later generations of "Confucianism" of the Song and Ming Dynasty is no longer the original "Confucianism", the early Confucianism paid attention to all-round development, the gentleman not only had to be moral, but also familiar with the "six arts" (the six skills needed at that time), is a qualified gentleman, and the great Confucian Mencius said that "the benevolent love others", "everyone can be Yao Shun", which shows that the early Confucianism has the idea of equality. Compared with Confucianism, Mohist is a type of pragmatism, Mohist is very practical, for example, Mozi has studied defensive equipment, physical optics, etc., unlike Confucianism to pay attention to academic theory and framework construction, so it can be seen that the two are actually a complementary, one is used for "Wenneng Anbang", and the other is used for "Wuneng Dingguo". The essential difference is the difference in the interests represented, that is, the social basis.

The Mohists represented the interests of small urban craftsmen, small merchants, yeoman farmers, and lower-class officials. Confucianism represented the interests of the traditional aristocracy, high-ranking bureaucrats, and literati. Because of these essential differences, the two have diametrically opposed views on etiquette, morality, and how to govern the country.

The proposition is also different, Confucianism is benevolence, that is, self-centered, radial love, the farther away from oneself, the shallower the degree of love, the so-called "old and old, young and young" pay attention to "and"; The Mohist family is both love, and the degree of love is the same for everyone, that is, "the country of people is regarded as their country, the home of people is regarded as their home, and the body of people is regarded as their body" Confucianism insists on etiquette and music, requires the world to be governed by etiquette, and advocates thick burials and long mourning, while Mohism is the opposite. Similarities: both are the idea of joining the WTO, both intend to govern the country and level the world, both adhere to the materialist reflection theory, both attach importance to the feelings of people, and are manifested as "people-oriented" and caring for the society, but Confucianism is the intellectuals for the sake of the rulers, hoping to restore the prosperity of "the conquest of rites and music from the Son of Heaven", and finally realize the Datong society of "the world is for the public", while the Mohists are the craftsmen for the sake of the lower working people, and establish a paradise for small producers of "Shangtong" and "Shangxian".

We all know that Confucianism.

Similarities. "Love people" shows that they are still people-centered, and they value the status and dignity of human beings. It is in a specific historical context that when the interests of civilians can no longer be safeguarded, some ideas will emerge to change and meet the needs of civilians to a certain extent.

Therefore, both of them are to better solve the social problems of the times.

Harmonious interpersonal relationships.

in order to better stabilize social development.

There are differences in the same. On the one hand, they pursue different things on a material level. This may be a bit inaccurate, but the Mohists advocate the idea of loving others not only for the spiritual equality of people, but also for them to obtain a better material life through this way.

and love, mutual benefit" vividly shows that they want to profit from "lovers", and pay more attention to material utilitarianism; Confucianism is quite different from them, some of the Confucian pursuits have gone beyond the material level, tending to spiritual satisfaction, they believe that "loving others" is a spiritual pursuit of people, is a kind of natural expression of people.

On the other hand, the scope of "lover" is also different. Confucianism advocates the distinction between relatives, believing that this is a gradual change with the distance of interpersonal relationships, that is, there are still some differences in love; But the Mohists disagreed, they advocated to love all people equally, everyone should be the same, love strangers like love your parents and brothers, that is, "love is no difference".

It may be because Mohist thought has an attractive effect on specific people in a specific era, so Mencius once appeared.

sighed: "Yang Zhu, Mo Zhai."

Words of the world. The words of the world, if they do not return to Yang, they will return to ink. ......The way of Yang and Mo is endless, Confucius.

There is no way. (Yang Zhu Zhixue was also a popular faction at the time.) This also forced Confucianism.

Joining the debate has promoted the great prosperity of culture to a certain extent!

Differences between Confucianism and Mohist education:

1. Confucianism emphasizes "benevolence", benevolence is the meaning of loving others, but the love emphasized by Confucianism is differentiated love. The Mohists also emphasize love, but the Mohist love is "concomitant love", that is, undifferentiated love, love for everyone.

2. Confucianism emphasizes moral education, and Mohists advocate scientific and technological education in addition to moral education.

3. Confucianism in teaching methods.

The emphasis on heuristic teaching is to let students think for themselves, and the teacher is only responsible for inspiring students. The Mohists emphasized taking the initiative to preach to students.

The similarities between Confucianism and Mohistism: both academic schools in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period are both ideologies of accession to the WTO, and both advocate loving people, caring for the country, and caring for society.

Hundreds of schools

Mohist, one of the hundred schools of thought, was a philosophical school in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty of China, and it was listed as one of the 100 schools of pre-Qin Zhuzi that specialized in the study of "natural science" along with "famous scholars" and "mathematicians".

Confucianism represents Mencius.

once said, "The words of the world do not belong to Yang (Yang Zhu, Taoist.

representative figures) is returned to Mo (Mozi.

and other words, proving the glory of Mohist thought in China. 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 Mohist family was born around the Warring States period. The founder is Mo Zhai.

dí) (Mozi). The Mohists were a highly 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 early and late periods:

The early stage of thought mainly involved socio-political, ethical and epistemological thoughts.

problems, concerned about the current world war; Later Mohists in logic.

has made important contributions and began to move closer to the field of scientific research.

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

Mohists advocate both love and Confucianism advocate benevolence and love for others, which is the common denominator of their thinking. They both advocate love. Mohists emphasize utilitarianism, while Confucianism emphasizes realism, which is where their ideas are similar.

However, Confucianism did not believe in ghosts and gods, and he emphasized more on individual efforts, while Mohists emphasized the power of ghosts and gods, which is a significant difference between them.

The similarities between Mohist and Confucianism are: Confucianism and Mohist were born in the same social background, and the ideas they put forward had a certain impact on the society at that time; Their differences are: Confucianism advocates social norms, the idea is etiquette, the central idea is benevolence, while Mozi advocates the great harmony of the world, second, Confucianism believes in ghosts and gods, while Mohists believe that there are no ghosts and gods in the world, third, Confucianism and Mohists represent different class levels, Confucianism represents the traditional aristocracy and high-level**, and Mohists represent people living in the lower strata of society.

The similarities are all in the category of sociology, the difference is that Confucianism sees the world as a relationship between big family members, and the family is a place for warmth and goodwill, the theoretical basis for the goodness of human nature, the importance of ethics and morality, respect and orderliness, and the inheritance of nepotism among children. Mo sees the world as an organization, stressing division of labor and cooperation, so love and equality are the foundation, non-offensive peace is the guarantee, and the Mo family is actually the ancestor of the modern social political party organization.

The founders are different, the expression of ideas is different, but the Mohists borrowed from Confucianism, there will be different attitudes, there will be different core values, ideas will continue to improve, and there will be theories in this regard.

Mohists are separated from Confucianism and have no substantive differences in the veneration of sages, peace, and harmony, but in other respects, Mohists advocate both love (similar to fraternity), mutual benefit, and frugality, unlike Confucianism.

Confucianism believes that all things are different from each other, and each should be in its own place and perform its own duties, just like the stars in the sky all revolve around the Beidou in an orderly manner. At the same time, people should love each other, but this love is different because of the distance between relatives, more love for their own relatives, and less love for those who are not related by blood.

Mohists: fraternity, anti-war, meritocracy, hard work to control their own destiny, economy to expand production.

Confucianism: benevolence, "love for others", opposition to harsh government, abuse of torture and killing, and respect for morality.

Personally, I still prefer Zhuangzi, the representative of the Taoist school!

Heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are one with me".
