Chinese Studies: What are the ten major propositions of Mohist thought in "Mohism Attack"?

After reading "Mohism", I became very interested in Mohism. Many of his thoughts are worth learning from today. In particular, Mozi's top ten propositions most admired by later generations are "universal love", "non attack", "upholding virtue", "upholding the same", "saving use", "saving burial", "non happiness", "non life", "celestial ambition", and "Ming ghost". The basic thought of Mohism is basically reflected in this film.

--------Zhuge Changqing

More than 2200 years ago, the land of China is still in the period of disputes among various countries and the struggle for hegemony. At this time, the powerful State of Zhao wanted to attack the State of Yan in one fell swoop, and the first condition to realize this plan was to attack the State of Liang sandwiched between Zhao and Yan. Thus, the General of the State of Zhao was ordered to lead a hundred thousand troops in the flooded alley, approaching Liangcheng, which only had more than 4000 women and civilians.

At the time of crisis, the king of Liang prayed to the Mohist school, known as the city keeper, for a garrison that could resist 100000 troops. But the king of Liang was waiting for Ge Li, an unattractive Mexican who fought alone. The story of Ge Li is shocking and thought-provoking

So we can't help admiring Mozi, the founder of Mohism.

Mozi (468-376 BC) is Zhai, a native of the State of Lu, a native of the Song Dynasty, the founder of the Mohist school, and a famous thinker and educator in the early Warring States period.

The Mohist school has a large number of people, upholds justice, is not afraid of difficulties and dangers, has a strict organization, has a strong religious color, and is called a prominent school together with Confucianism. The purpose of Mozi's theory is to save the world. It is to put forward the methods of correction, treatment and construction according to the function, function and will of the society, aiming at the ills and defects of the society. At the same time, it emphasizes that the idea of saving the world and the purpose of saving the world should be linked by participating in social activities

Mozi claimed to be a "bitch" and "despicable minister in the north", and was born poor. He used to build vehicles, wooden birds and other instruments, and was a skilled craftsman belonging to the handicraft class. Mozi was originally trained in the Confucian school founded by Confucius and was influenced by Confucianism, but Mozi, who came from the lower class of society, finally founded the Mohist school. Mohists believe in ghosts and gods, which is different from the philosophers' reasoning with myths and legends.

After Mozi founded the Mohist School, disciples and believers spread all over the world. The Mohist school is not only a large number of people, but also those who uphold justice, dare to act, do not fear difficulties and risks, and have the courage to sacrifice. Lu Jia said in his new phrase "Thinking": "Mozi has many brave men." A short sentence has vividly demonstrated the spirit of respecting chivalry and martial arts of the ideal personality of the Mohist school. The extraordinary ideal personality of the Mohist school is vividly displayed in the "Mo Attack". "Mozi can serve hundreds and eighty people, and can make them go through the fire and the sword, and die one after another".

The Mohist school has a strict organization, and its religious color is quite strong. After the establishment of the Mohism school, it has had a wide influence in the society. It can be balanced with the influence of Confucianism, so it is also called "Confucianism and Mohism Xianxue" (Han Feizi Xianxue). Mozi divided his ten major propositions into five categories, including political, economic, life, religious and moral perspectives. There was a complete system and formed a strict system. After Mozi's death, Mohism was divided into several schools. One of the works was Mohism, which developed Mozi's logical thought and was the main school of Mohism in the later period. Others promoted Mozi's religious thought and evolved into rangers. By the end of the Warring States Period, the Mohist school had declined, and there was no successor after the Han Dynasty.

"Mozi" has 71 original chapters, and now there are 53. Some are written by Mozi himself, some are written by disciples who record and collate Mozi's remarks, and some are written by Mohist scholars. Mozi was born in the early Warring States period, but it was written very late. Mozi's thoughts are mainly reflected in the ten articles "Shang Xian", "Shang Tong", "Universal Love", "Non-attack", "Jieyong", "Jiebu", "Tianzhi", "Ming Gui", "Feile" and "Feiming". The views discussed in each article are also Mozi's ten propositions.

Starting from reality is a major principle of Mozi. The thought of Mozi can be expressed as ten propositions. He is flexible in deciding according to the situation, for example:

If the country is in a state of confusion, the words are "respect for virtue" and "respect for the same";

If the country is poor, it means "saving money" and "saving burial";

If the country's sound is exquisite, the language is "non music" and "non life";

The country is obscene and disrespectful, which means "respecting the sky" and "dealing with ghosts";

In the words of "universal love" and "non attack", the national household usurps and invades.

 国学研究：《墨攻》墨家思想十大主张是什么？

    看了《墨攻》，对墨家思想产生了很大兴趣.他的思想，很多值得今天借鉴。尤其是，墨子最为后世景仰的十大主张，即"兼爱"、"非攻"、"尚贤"、"尚同"、"节用"、 “节葬”、“非乐”、“非命”、“天志”、“明鬼”。墨家的基本思想在这部电影里都基本得到了体现。
                            -------- 诸葛长青
 
    距今两千两百多年，中华大地尚在诸国纷争，群雄争霸的时期。此时，强大的赵国想要一举攻打燕国，而实现这个计划的首要条件就是要先攻破夹在赵燕之间的梁国。于是，赵国大将军巷淹中奉命率领十万大军，逼近仅仅只有孺妇平民4000余人的梁城。
  危难之时，梁王向以守城主称的墨家祈求一支可以抵抗十万大军的守军。但是梁王等到的却是一个其貌不扬、孤身应战的墨者——革离。革离的故事，令人震撼，令人思索.......

   所以我们不由得佩服墨家的创始人---墨子。
   墨子（约前468--约前376年）名翟，鲁国人，一说宋国人，墨学家派创始人，战国初期著名思想家、教育家。
    墨家学派人数众多，主持正义，不畏艰险，有严密的组织，宗教色彩颇浓，与儒家并称显学。墨子创立学说的目的在于救世，是针对社会的弊病、缺陷，按照社会的功能、作用和意志，提出矫正、疗救和建设的办法，同时强调通过参与社会的活动，把救世的主张和救世的目的联系起来.
    墨子自称“贱人”、“北方鄙臣”，出身贫苦。他曾造过车和木鸟等一类器械，是属于手工业者阶层的能工巧匠。墨子原本受业于孔子所创立的儒家学派，受到过儒家思想的熏陶，但来自社会下层的墨子最终创立了墨家学派。墨家信鬼神，不同于诸子用神话传说说理。
   墨子创立了墨家学派以后，弟子和信仰者遍布天下。墨家学派不仅人数众多，而且都是些主持正义，敢作敢为，不畏艰险，勇于献身的人。陆贾《新语"思务》有云：“墨子之门多勇士。”简短的一句话已经形象的说明了墨家理想人格的崇侠尚武精神.墨家勇猛异常的理想人格在《墨攻》里展现的淋漓尽致，“墨子服役百八十人，皆可使赴火蹈刃，死不旋踵”说的也就是这个道理。

  墨家学派具有严密的组织，其宗教色彩颇浓。墨家学派创立后在社会上产生了广泛的影响，它可以与儒家势力相衡，因此并称为“儒墨显学”(《韩非子·显学》)。墨子将他的十大主张分作五类，包括了政治、经济、生活、宗教和道德等方面的观点，有一个完整的体系，形成一个严密的系统。墨子死后墨家分裂成几派，其一著有《墨辩》，发展了墨子的逻辑思想，是后期墨家的主要派别。另一些人则推行墨子的宗教思想，演变为游侠。墨家学派到战国末期已经衰微，汉代以后后继无人。
  《墨子》原有71篇，今存53篇。有的是墨子本人所著，有的是弟子记录整理墨子言论而成，有的是墨家后学所写。《墨子》一书产生于战国前期，但它成书很晚。墨子的思想集中反映在《尚贤》、《尚同》、《兼爱》、《非攻》、《节用》、《节葬》、《天志》、《明鬼》、《非乐》、《非命》这十篇文章中，各篇所论述的观点也就是墨子的十大主张。
  从实际出发是墨子的一大原则，《墨子》思想可以表述为十大主张，他很灵活的根据情况来决定，譬如：
  国家昏乱，则语之"尚贤"、"尚同"；
  国家贫，则语之"节用"、"节葬"；
  国家熹音湛湎，则语之"非乐"、"非命"；
  国家淫僻无礼，则语之"尊天"、"事鬼"；
  国家务夺侵凌，则语之"兼爱"、"非攻"。
