Translation of "Nothing is Precious to Righteousness":

Mozi said: There is nothing more precious than justice in all prosperous things. If now say to someone:

Would you like to do this if you were given a hat and shoes, and then cut off your hands and feet? This man must not be willing. Why?

Just because hats and shoes are not as valuable as siblings. And he said, "Give you the world, Brother Nai Pei will kill you, are you willing to do this?"

I don't want to. Why? Because the world is not as precious as life. But fighting each other for the sake of arguing over a sentence is to regard justice as more precious than life! Therefore, there is nothing more precious than righteousness.

Original text: Zi Mozi said: Everything is more precious than righteousness.

Now it is said that people say: Give the son a crown, and cut off the hands and feet of the son, what is the son for? Not for.

Why? The crown is not as expensive as the siblings. And said:

Give the son the world, and kill the body of the son, what does the son do? Not for. Why?

The world is not as expensive as the body. Fighting for a word to kill each other is a noble righteousness. Therefore, it is said:

Nothing is more precious than righteousness.

Appreciation of works. "Righteousness" is justice and the great righteousness that is beneficial to the people, the nation, and the country, which is different from the morality of brotherhood.

At all times, we should uphold the principle that the interests of the people and the country are above all else, so we should adhere to it. Mozi believes that the foundation of the world lies in the word "righteousness", and the foundation of a scholar lies in "righteousness", and righteousness is even more important than the life of a scholar. In this regard, it is consistent with Mencius's "sacrificing one's life for righteousness".

Mozi was a famous thinker, educator, scientist, military strategist, social activist during the Warring States period in China, and the founder of the Mohist school. He founded the Mohist doctrine and handed down the book "Mozi". Faith: Love, non-aggression.

He put forward the concept of simple materialist philosophy of both love and non-attack.

"Mozi", "Jing I" and "Jing Xia" are two works that some people say are Mozi's works.
