What are the ideas of Mohist doctrine? What is the influence of Mohist thought?

Speaking of Mohistism, we must first understand that it represents the interests of small manual laborers, and of course advocates safeguarding the interests of small manual laborers. The more famous idea is that there is both love and non-attack, and there is no righteous war in the Spring and Autumn Period.

To put it simply, it is just my personal understanding that I am both loving and non-offensive, advocating less war and peace.

The world is white, only I am black, not attacking the ink door, and loving life.

1. Influence on the revolutionary ideas of later generations.

Mozi's social ideal of "being able to do things differently" as the core embodied and represented the voice of the broad masses of lower-class laborers, and had a far-reaching impact in history. This ideal has always been linked to the ideal pursuit of the Chinese working people and their realistic movements.

The profound influence of this ideal can be found in the peasant resistance movements of ancient times, in the revolutionary movements of the bourgeoisie in modern times, and in the Chinese communist movement in the 20th century. He called Mozi "a master of ancient dialectical materialism" and "a sage who was more intelligent than Confucius".

2. Impact on power.

Mozi's advocacy of "Tianzhi" to restrain the unlimited power of the monarch had a profound impact on the philosophers of the Han and Han dynasties. In the Western Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu, a representative of Neo-Confucianism, inherited this idea and established a large system of "heaven and man induction", advocating "bending the monarch to stretch the sky", trying to use the "heaven" of the personality god to restrain the unlimited power of the monarch of the unified centralized country.

3. Influence on social customs.

Mozi's idea of "festival burial" was inherited by the Eastern Han philosopher Wang Chong and the social criticism trend at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and opposed the thick burial style that permeated the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty because the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty advocated "filial piety" to rule the world.

4. Influence on philosophical thought.

Mozi's emphasis on experience opened up the materialist empiricist tradition of ancient Chinese philosophy, and had a great influence on the philosophical ideas of Han Wang Chong and Qing Yan Yuan. "On Balance" has a "knowledge of facts", emphasizing that people's knowledge is the first in the ears, eyes and senses. Wang Chong said:

Children begin to give birth, ears and eyes begin to open, although there is sacredness, can An know something? "If you don't hear it, you don't see it."

5. Impact on science and technology.

Mozi is a representative of ancient Chinese science and technology. China's first quantum science experiment satellite, named "Micius", was successfully launched on August 16, 2016.

Although Mozi said that his school and doctrine had been extinct in the Qin and Han dynasties, his influence can be said to have been until today, and with the rapid development of Chinese science and technology, Mozi, his name is connected with today's Chinese science and technology.

The core of Mohist thought is: love, non-attack, Shangxian, Shangtong, Tianzhi, Ming ghost, non-life, non-music, thrift, and funeral.

The main contribution of Mohist philosophical thought is in epistemology. Mozi takes the direct sensory experience of the eyes and ears as the only way to know**, and Sakuraki believes that judging the existence and absence of things cannot be based on personal imagination, but on the basis of what everyone sees and hears. Starting from this naïve materialist empiricism, Mozi put forward the criterion for testing the authenticity of cognition, that is, the three tables and the key to the land

"The matter of the ancient saint king", "the lower plain examines the reality of the people's ears and eyes", "abolishes the criminal government, and looks at the interests of the people of the country".
