The tidbits of white horses are not horses, why are white horses not horses?

From a philosophical point of view, it is a kind of idealistic thought, detached from the ideological principles of materialism, detached from reality, opportunistic, and a typical substitute for subjective idealism, which is the outstanding work of the founder of the sophists in the Warring States period of our country.

It violates the principle that the universal resides in the particular, and is manifested through the particular.

How did the term white horse non-horse come about?

It's actually a process of stealing concepts.

White horses are distinguished by color.

Horses, on the other hand, are distinguished by their various characteristics, not by their colors. Therefore, the white horse is not a horse, simply put, the white horse is a word, composed of two elements, the white horse, in general, in our usual cognitive thinking state, the focus is on the "horse", and "white" is to describe the horse.

And Gongsun Long changed his way of thinking and shifted the focus of the word "white horse" to "white". This may be the paradox of early China.

Because the universality of contradictions resides in and is expressed through particularity. There is no universality without particularity. If a white horse is not a horse, then a red horse and a black horse are not horses, then the concept of a horse does not exist. In the same way, if there are no apples, bananas, pears, etc., there is no concept of fruit.

"Horse" refers to the form of the horse, and "white horse" refers to the color of the horse, and form is not equal to color, so the white horse is not a horse.

White horses are not horses).

It is the relationship between the individual and the universal, or the relationship between individuality and commonality. When a white horse has a white personality, it loses the concept of the universality of the horse.

The mistake lies in the concept of stealing.

Gongsun Long was a diner of Pingyuan Jun during the Warring States Period, one day, he led a white horse out of the customs was blocked, Gongsun Long debated with him with the proposition that white horses are not horses, and the people guarding the customs could not argue with him, so Gongsun Long led the horse out of the customs (or said, he was still not allowed to go out of the customs). Gongsun Long said that the white horse is not a horse, and the white is famous, and the horse is famous; Color is not shape, shape is not color. The husband's words and colors are not in the same shape, and the words and colors are not suitable for follow.

If you ask for a white horse in the stable, there is nothing, but there is a horse of color, but there should not be a white horse. If there is no white horse, the horse that is sought will die; If you die, the white horse is not a horse.

Gongsun Long's words are to the effect that "horse" refers to the form of a horse, and "white horse" refers to the color of the horse, and form is not equal to color, so a white horse is not a horse.

This is a classic example of stealing concepts in logic. He used the two different concepts of "white horse" and "horse" in one problem to argue and analyze them as concepts in the same sense. Philosophically, this is to confuse the relationship between the commonality of things and the individuality.

The classic story of the Han Blood Horse.

The Han blood horse used to have a red substance flowing out of the neck of the Han blood horse, like bleeding, so it is called. In ancient China, it was called.

Dawan horse, bipolar Pegasus, now known as Ahama.

Two thousand years ago, the world's horse breeds were in a primitive state of soil, and Turkmenistan, Central Asia, was a desert green with drought and little rainfall.

In the continent, there was already a very good fast horse - Han blood horse. Zhang Qian went out of the plug and found the Han blood horse. When Zhang Qian to Han.

After Emperor Wu reported to Dawanma, Emperor Wu ordered Zhang Qian to take a delegation of more than 100 people to Dawan (now Turkmenistan).

Ask for a horse, bring a model of a ** horse, hoping to exchange it for a Dawan horse. As a result, Dawan Kingdom did not allow it, and he returned home.

The envoys of the Han Dynasty were killed, the Golden Horse was robbed, and the Dawan Kingdom was a closed small country, and it did not know the strength of China.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious and made the decision to take the horse by force, and since then two Dawan horse wars have broken out. General Li Guangli.

Led tens of thousands of troops to punish the defeat for the first time, and won a complete victory for the second time, and the Dawan Kingdom sacrificed 3,000 horses to the Han Dynasty, twice.

The war began with Dawan horses, which shows how much the Han Dynasty attached importance to horses.

Today's pure-blooded breeds contain more than 20 percent of the bloodline of the Han blood horse, and the Han blood horse is the longest-lived horse.

Lived to be twenty-three years old.

Authentic vernacular.

On this day, it happened that Gongsun Long rode a white horse to Hangu Pass.

The official said, "You can enter the customs, but the horses cannot."

Gongsun Long argued: "White horses are not horses, why can't they pass the customs?" ”

The official said, "A white horse is a horse."

Gongsun Long said, "Is my Gongsun Long a dragon? ”

The customs official was stunned for a moment, but still insisted: "According to the regulations, as long as it is a horse of Zhao State, it cannot enter the customs, regardless of whether you are a white horse or a black horse." ”

Gongsun Long smiled slightly and said, "'Horse' refers to the name, and 'white' refers to the color, and the name and color are not the same concept. The concept of 'white horse' is separated from 'white' and 'horse' or 'horse' and 'white', which are two different concepts.

For example, if you want a horse, you can give it to a yellow horse or a black horse, but if you want a white horse, you can't give it to a black horse or a yellow horse, which proves that a 'white horse' and a 'horse' are not the same thing! So white horses are not horses. ”

The more the officials listened, the more confused they became, and they were dizzy by Gongsun Long's high-minded talk, and they were dizzy, and they didn't know how to answer, so they had no choice but to let Gongsun Long ride a white horse to pass the pass. As a result, Gongsun Long's "On the White Horse" became famous for a while.

I saw that there is a story about a white horse and a non-horse in the cartoon "Qin Shi Mingyue", and I personally think this cartoon is very good!
