MoZiwasborninthefortyyearofKingZhouJinginthelateSpringandAutumnPeriod(approximately480BC),orintheforty-fouryearofKingZhouJing(476BC).Althoughhisancestorswerearistocrats,MoziwastheonlyphilosopherofpeasantorigininChinesehistory.

AConfucianteacher

Wearingstrawsandals,Moziwalkedaroundtheworldandbegantostudyinvariousplaces.Accordingto"Huainanzi·Yaolue",MoziwasoriginallyaConfuciandisciple.MozihadstudiedConfucianismfromConfucianism,knownasYao,ShunandYu,andstudiedConfucianclassicssuchas"Poems","Books",and"ChunQiu".However,duetodissatisfactionwithConfucianism,hecreatedapairofschools.

Non-offensive:theunjustwaragainsttheoffensiveandplunder

Mozibelievesthatthewarsatthetimewereallpredatoryunjustwars.Inthearticlesof"FeiGong",repeatedlycomplainedabouttherighteousnessofnon-attack,believingthatwarisaterriblething.Hesaidthatthevastmajorityoftheancientnationsdiedoutintheoffensive,andonlyahandfulofcountriessurvived.Thisislikeadoctorwhohastreatedtensofthousandsofpeople,andonlyafewpeoplehaverecovered.Thisdoctorisnotworthytobecalledagooddoctor,arelativeorfriend,andwarisalsonotagoodcure.Therehavebeencountlessrulerswhodiedofwarinhistory.Thisistantamounttogivingaheadstarttothosewhoaretryingtoopenupfrontiersandconquertheworldthroughoffensivewars.Therefore,Moziadvocatedtosubduetheworldwithvirtueandrighteousness,andtoeliminatemisfortuneswithlove.InMozi'seyes,Jianaicanstopoffenseandgetridofchaos.Universalloveistheethicalandmoralbasisofnon-attack,andnon-attackistheinevitableresultofuniversallove.

PhilosophicalThoughts

Mozi'sphilosophicalachievementsaremostprominentinepistemologyandlogic.

TheoryofEpistemology

ThemaincontributionofMozi'sphilosophyisintheaspectofepistemology.Hetakesthedirectfeelingexperienceof"earsandeyes"astheonlysourceofknowledge.Hebelievesthatjudgingtheexistenceofthingscannotbebasedonpersonalimagination,butshouldbebasedonwhateveryoneseesandhears.Startingfromthisnaivematerialistempiricaltheory,Moziputforwardthecriteriafortestingtheauthenticityofknowledge,namely,threetables:"Thematteroftheancientsandthesaintking","Xiayuanexaminesthetruthofthepeople'seyesandears",and"abolishesthetruth."(Fa)Thinkofcriminalpoliticsandobservetheinterestsofthepeopleofthecountry."Moziintegrated"things","facts"and"benefits",usingindirectexperience,directexperienceandsocialeffectsasthecriteria,andtriedtoeliminatepersonalsubjectiveprejudices.Intermsoftherelationshipbetweennameandreality,heputforwardthepropositionof"donotuseone'sname,butalsogetone'sname",advocatingthatthenameshouldberectifiedandthenameshouldbeworthyofthename.Mozi'sepistemologyofemphasizingtheauthenticityofexperiencealsohasgreatlimitations.Heonceusedthereasonthatsomeone"tastesthethingsofghostsandgodsandhearsthesoundsofghostsandgods"andcametotheconclusionthat"thereareghostsandgods".ButMozididnotignoretheroleofrationalknowledge.

MoZibelievesthatthesourceofhumanknowledgecanbedividedintothreeaspects,namely,hearingknowledge,speakingknowledgeandpersonalknowledge.Hedivideshearingknowledgeintotwotypes:rumorsandpersonalknowledge,butinMozi'sview,whetheritisrumorsorpersonalknowledge,itshouldnotbesimplyaccepted,butmustbedigestedandintegratedtomakeithisownknowledge.Therefore,heemphasizedtheneedto"getwhatisheard",thatis,afterhearingandacceptingit,thinkingandinvestigating,takingtheknowledgeofothersasthebasis,andtheninheritingandcarryingforward."Speakingofknowledge"inMozi'swordscontainsthemeaningofinferenceandinvestigation,andreferstotheknowledgeobtainedbyinference.Heespeciallyemphasizedthat"whatyoudon'tknowifyouknowisknown,thenyouknowthetwo",thatis,theunknownknowledgeisinferredfromtheknownknowledge.Ifitisknownthatfireishot,itisinferredthatallfiresarehot;acirclecanbedrawnwithcompasses,anditcanbeinferredthatallcirclescanbemeasuredwithcompasses.ItcanbeseenfromthisthatMozi'sknowledgeandknowledgearenotsimplytobearnegatively,butcontainapositiveandenterprisingspirit.Inadditiontoknowingandknowing,Moziattachesgreatimportancetoknowingrelatives.ThisisalsoamajordifferencebetweenMoziandotherpre-Qinscholars.Mozi'spersonalknowledgereferstotheknowledgegainedthroughpersonalexperience.Hedividedtheprocessofknowingrelativesintothreesteps:"consider","accept"and"mind"."Concerning"isthestateofaperson'scognitiveabilitytoseekknowledge.Butjustthinkingaboutitmaynotbeabletoobtainknowledge.Forexample,ifyouopenyoureyesandlookattheforeignobject,youmaynotbeabletorealizethetruthoftheforeignobject.Therefore,itisnecessaryto"receive"knowledge,andletthesenseorganssuchaseyes,ears,nose,tongue,andbodycomeintocontactwiththeexternalobjectsinordertoperceivetheexternalnatureandshapeoftheexternalobjects.Butwhatyougetby"receiving"knowledgeisstillveryincompleteknowledge.Whatitgetscanonlybetheapparentknowledgeofthings,andsomethings,suchastime,cannotbefeltbythesenses.Therefore,theknowledgeobtainedbyhumansensesisstillpreliminaryandincomplete.Theknowledgeobtainedmustbeintegrated,sorted,analyzed,andinferredinordertoreachthestateof"clear"knowledge.Inaword,Moziorganicallylinkedthethreeaspectsofknowledgesources,makinghimuniqueinthefieldofepistemology.

Logic

MoziisoneoftheimportantpioneersofancientChineselogicthoughtsystem.Mobian,Yinming,andAncientGreeklogicarecalledthethreemajorlogicsintheworld.Hemoreconsciouslyandextensivelyusedthemethodoflogicalinferencetoestablishordemonstratehispoliticalandethicalthoughts.Healsoputforwardthelogicalconceptsofdebate,class,andreasonforthefirsttimeinthehistoryofChineselogic.Anditisrequiredtolearnthedebateasakindofspecializedknowledge.AlthoughMozi's"argument"generallyreferstothetechniqueofdebate,itisbasedonknowledge(things)andreason(foundation,reason),soitbelongstothecategoryoflogicalanalogyorargumentation.The"threeforms"mentionedbyMoziarenotonlytheideologicalstandardofspeech,butalsothefactorsforreasoning.Moziisalsogoodatusinganalogytoexposethecontradictionsoftheenemy.ThankstoMozi'sadvocacyandenlightenment,theMohistschooldevelopedalogic-orientedtradition,andthefirstChineseancientlogicsystemwasestablishedbythelaterMohistschool.

Startingfromthislawofthinking,Moziwentontoestablishaseriesofthinkingmethods.Hesummedupthebasicmethodofthinkingas"totracethenatureofeverything,todiscussthecomparisonofwords.Toexpressthetruthbyname,toexpressthemeaningbywords,totellthestory.Takebyclass,givebyclass"("Smalltake").Inotherwords,thepurposeofthinkingistoexploretheinevitableconnectionbetweenobjectivethings,andtoexploretheformthatreflectsthisinevitableconnection,andexpressitwith"name"(concept),"ci"(judgment),and"say"(reasoning)."Takebyclassandgivebyclass"isequivalenttotheanalogyofmodernlogicandisanimportantmethodofreasoning.Inaddition,Mozialsosummedupavarietyofreasoningmethodssuchashypotheses,bluntwords,selectivestatements,deduction,induction,etc.,sothatMozi'sdialecticshasbeenformedintoamethodicalandsystematicsystem,whichisuniqueintheancientworld.,ItstandssidebysidewiththelogicofancientGreeceandthescienceofYinminginancientIndia.

Scientificthought

Cosmology

Mozibelievesthattheuniverseisacontinuouswhole,andindividualsorpartsarecomposedofthisWhatseparatesfromtheunifiedwholeareallcomponentsofthisunifiedwhole.Inotherwords,thewholecontainstheindividual,andthewholeiscomposedoftheindividual.Thereisacertainorganicconnectionbetweenthewholeandtheindividual.Startingfromthiscontinuousviewoftheuniverse,MoZiwentontoestablishatheoryoftimeandspace.Henamedtime"Jiu"andspacenamed"Yu",andgavethedefinitionof"Jiu"and"Yu",thatis,"Jiu"meansalltimeincludingthepastandthepresent,and"Yu"includesthings.Allspace,timeandspaceinthenorthandsoutharecontinuousanduninterrupted.

Aftergivingthedefinitionofspace-time,Mozifurtherdiscussedthequestionofwhetherspace-timeisfiniteorinfinite.Hebelievesthattimeandspacearebothinfiniteandinfinite.Forthewhole,timeandspaceareinfinite,whileforparts,timeandspaceareinfinite.Healsopointedoutthatcontinuousspace-timeiscomposedofspace-timeelements.Hedefinedthespace-timeelementas"beginning"and"end","beginning"isthesmallestunitthatcannotbeseparatedintime,and"end"isthesmallestunitthatcannotbeseparatedinspace.Inthisway,space-timeiscontinuousandinfinite,andthiscontinuousinfinitespace-timeiscomposedofthesmallestunit.Infinitycontainsinfinity,andcontinuitycontainsdiscontinuousspace-timetheory.

Onthebasisofthespace-timetheory,Moziestablishedhisowntheoryofmotion.Heunifiesandconnectstime,spaceandthemovementofobjects.Hebelievesthatinacontinuousandunifieduniverse,themovementofobjectsismanifestedinthesuccessivedifferencesintimeandthepositionmigrationinspace.Thereisnochangeintimesequenceandlocation,sothereisnomovement,andthereisnopuremovementawayfromtimeandspace.

MoZialsohasanincisiveexpositionontheoriginandpropertiesofmatter.Amongthepre-Qinscholars,LaoTzufirstproposedthattheoriginofmatteris"beingbornfromnothing"(LaoTzuChapter1),"allthingsintheworldarebornfrombeing,andbeingbornfromnothing"(LaoTzuChapter40).Mozifirstrosetoopposethisideaof​​Laozi,andproposedthatallthingsbeginwith"being".Hepointedoutthattherearetwokindsof"nothing",oneisthatithasexistedinthepastandisnowabsent,suchassomekindofextinctbird,whichcannotbedeniedas"have"becauseitnolongerexists;theotheristhatithasneverexistedinthepast.Thingsthathaveneverbeenbefore,suchasthecollapseofthesky,are"nothingness"thatdoesnotexistinthefirstplace.The“nothing”thatdidnotexistdoesnotproduce“being”,andthe“things”thatoriginallyexistedandlaterdidnotexistarenot“being”bornfrom“nothing”.Itcanbeseenthat"being"existsobjectively.Then,Moziwentontoelaborateontheissueofmaterialproperties.Hebelievesthatifthereisnostone,thehardnessandcolorofthestonewillnotbeknown,andwithoutthesunandfire,therewillbenoknowledgeofheat.Inotherwords,attributesdonotexistwithoutmaterialobjects,attributesareobjectivereflectionsofmaterialobjects.Thereasonwhypeoplecanperceivetheattributesofmatterisduetotheobjectiveexistenceofmaterialobjects.

MathematicsDiscourse

MoziwasthefirstscientistinChinesehistorytotreatmathematicalproblemsfromarationalheight.HegaveaseriesofmathematicalconceptsPropositionsanddefinitions,thesepropositionsanddefinitionsarehighlyabstractandrigorous.

ThemathematicalconceptsgivenbyMozimainlyinclude:

Aboutthedefinitionof"times."Mozisaid:"Doubleistwo."("MoJing1")Thatis,theoriginalnumberisaddedonce,ortheoriginalnumberismultipliedbytwoiscalled"double".Forexample,twofeetare"times"ofonefoot.Regardingthedefinitionof"ping".Mozisaid:"Flat,thesameheight."("MoJing1"),whichmeansthatthesameheightiscalled"level."ThishasthesamemeaningastheEuclideangeometrytheorem"thecommonperpendicularsbetweenparallellinesareequal".

Aboutthedefinitionof"samelength".Mozisaid:"Thesamelength,thesameistrue."("Mojing1")Thatistosay,thelengthofthetwoobjectsarecomparedwitheachother,exactlyone-to-onecorrespondence,completelyequal,called"thesamelength."

Aboutthedefinitionof"中".Mozisaid:"Mediumisthesamelength."("MoJing1")Here"zhong"referstothecenterofsymmetryoftheobject,thatis,thecenteroftheobjectisapointatthesamedistancefromthesurfaceoftheobject.

Aboutthedefinitionof"won".Mozisaid:"Won,thesamelongasonemiddleschool."("MoJing1")here"won"isthecircle,Mozipointedoutthatthecirclecanbedrawnwithcompasses,orcanbecheckedwithcompasses.CompasseshavebeenwidelyusedbeforeMozi,butitisMozi'scontributiontogiveaprecisedefinitionofthecircle.Mozi'sdefinitionofcircleiscompletelyconsistentwiththedefinitionofcircleinEuclideangeometry.

Aboutthedefinitionofsquare.Mozisaidthatthefourcornersareallrightangles,andaquadrilateralwithfoursidesofequallengthisasquare.Thesquarecanbedrawnandtestedwitharight-anglecurvedruler"moment".ThisisalsoconsistentwiththedefinitionofsquareinEuclideangeometry.

Aboutthedefinitionofastraightline.Mozisaidthatthecollinearlineofthreepointsisastraightline.Thethree-pointcollinearisthedefinitionofastraightline,whichiswidelyusedinlatergenerationstomeasuretheheightanddistanceofobjects.ThemathematicianLiuHuioftheJinDynastyusedthethree-pointcollinearlinetomeasuretheheightanddistanceinthesurveyingmonograph"IslandMathematics".AftertheHanDynasty,thesight"Wangshan"onthecrossbowwasalsoinventedaccordingly.

Inaddition,Mozialsodiscussedthedecimalvaluesystem.AsearlyastheShangDynasty,Chinahadalreadyuseddecimalnotationmoregenerally,andMoZiwasthefirstscientisttosummarizeandelaborateontheconceptofplacevaluesystem.Heclearlypointedoutthatthenumbersondifferentdigitshavedifferentvalues.Forexample,onthesamedigit,oneislessthanfive,andondifferentdigits,onecanbemorethanfive.Thisisbecauseinthesamedigit(ones,tens,hundreds,thousands...),fivecontainsone,andwhenoneisinahigherdigit,onecontainsfiveinturn.

Physicsresearch

Mozi’sresearchonphysicsinvolvesthebranchesofmechanics,optics,acoustics,etc.,andgivesalotofphysicsconceptsDefinition,therearemanyimportantdiscoveries,andsomeimportantphysicstheoremsaresummarized.

Firstofall,Mozigavethedefinitionofforce,saying:"Force,thepunishment(form)isthereasonwhyitworks."("Mojing1")Inotherwords,forceiswhatmakesobjectsmove.Thereason,eveniftheeffectofthemotionoftheobjectiscalledforce.Inthisregard,hegaveanexampletoillustrate,sayingthatitislikeliftingaheavyobjectfromthebottomtothetop,whichcanonlybedonebecauseofapowerfuleffect.Atthesametime,MoZipointedoutthatwhenanobjectreceivesaforce,italsoproducesareactionforce.Forexample,aftertwoobjectsofequalmasscollide,thetwoobjectswillmoveinoppositedirections.Ifthemassesofthetwoobjectsdiffergreatly,theobjectwiththelargermasswillnotmoveafterthecollision,butthereactionforcewillstillexist.

Next,Mozigavethedefinitionof"movement"and"stop".Hebelievesthat"movement"isduetoforcepushing,andmoreimportantly,heputsforwardtheviewthat"stop,foralongtime,lastforever,andbeacowisnotahorse."Itmeansthatthestopofthemovementofanobjectcomesfromresistance.Theeffectofimpedance,ifthereisnoresistance,theobjectwillmoveforever.ThisviewisconsideredtobetheforerunnerofNewton’slawofinertia.Itismorethan1,000yearsolderthantheworld’scontemporaries.Itisalsoasignofthebirthanddevelopmentofphysics.(Aristotlebelievesthatforceisthecauseofmovementofobjects.Itwillnotmove,andstopisthenatureoftheobject.Thisviewisconsistentwiththeresultsofordinarypeople'sobservation,butitissuperficialandwrong).

Regardingtheleveragetheorem,MoZialsomadeabrilliantstatement.Hepointedoutthatthereasonwhytheweighingrodisbalancedwhenweighingobjectsisthatthe"book"isshortandthe"standard"islong.Inmodernscientificlanguage,the"ben"istheresistancearm,andthe"standard"isthepowerarm.Writteninthemechanicsformula,itispower×powerarm("standard")=resistance×resistancearm("ben").Inaddition,MoZialsoconductedaseriesofresearchesonmechanicalproblemssuchaslever,inclinedplane,centerofgravity,rollingfriction,etc.,soIwon'trepeatthemhere.Inthehistoryofoptics,MoZiwasthefirstscientisttoconductopticalexperimentsandconductsystematicresearchongeometricoptics.ItisnottoomuchtosaythatMozilaidthefoundationofgeometricoptics,atleastinChina.JustasNeedhamsaidinthephysicsvolumeof"HistoryofScienceandTechnologyinChina",Mozi'sresearchonopticswas"earlierthanwhatweknowinGreece"and"Indiacannotbecompared."

Mozifirstdiscussedtherelationshipbetweenlightandshadow.Hecarefullyobservedthechanginglawsofmovingobjects'images,andputforwardthepropositionthat"thescenerydoesnotmigrate".Inotherwords,theshadowofamovingobjectfromthesurfaceisalsomovingwiththeobject,whichisactuallyanillusion.Becausewhenthepositionofthemovingobjectmoves,theimageformedatthepreviousmomenthasdisappeared,andtheimageformedafterthedisplacementisnewlyformed,insteadoftheoriginalimagemovingtoanewposition.Iftheoriginalimagedoesnotdisappear,itwillalwaysexistintheoriginalposition,whichisimpossible.Therefore,themovementoftheimageyouseeisonlytheresultofthecontinuousanduninterruptedbirthanddeathoftheoldandnewimagesalongwiththemovementoftheobject,ratherthanthemovementoftheimageitself.ThispropositionofMoziwaslaterinheritedbyfamousartists,andfromthisheputforwardthepropositionthat"theshadowofthebirdhasnotmoved."Followingthat,Mozidiscussedtheissueoftheumbraandsecondaryshadowsofobjects.Hepointedoutthatifthelightsourceisnotapointlightsource,theobjectwillproduceumbraandsecondaryshadowsduetotherepeatedilluminationofthelightemittedfromeachpoint;ifthelightsourceisapointlightsource,onlytheumbrawillappear.ThenMoziconductedexperimentsonsmallholeimaging.Heclearlypointedoutthatthelighttravelsinastraightline,andtheinvertedimageformedbytheobjectpassingthroughthesmallhole.Thisisbecausewhenthelightpassesthroughtheobjectandthenpassesthroughthesmallhole,duetothestraightpropagationofthelight,thetopoftheobjectisimagedonthebottom,andthebottomoftheobjectisimagedonthetop,sotheresultingimageisaninvertedimage.Healsoexploredtherelationshipbetweenthesizeoftheimageandtheobliquenessoftheobjectandthedistanceofthelightsource.Hepointedoutthattheobliqueobjectorthelightsourcewouldcausetheshadowtobelongandthin,whiletheobjectorthelightsourcewouldcausetheshadowtobeshortandthick.Betweenandthelightsource.WhatisparticularlyvaluableisthatMozihasconductedconsiderablesystematicresearchonflatmirrors,concavemirrors,convexmirrors,etc.,andhasderivedaseriesofbasicprinciplesofgeometricoptics.Hepointedoutthattheflatmirrorsformedimagesofthesamesizeandsymmetricalfarandnear,buttheywerereversed.Iftwoormoreflatmirrorsilluminateeachother,repeatedreflectionswilloccur,formingcountlessimages.Theimageoftheconcavemirroristoformapositiveimagewithinthe"center",theimageislargerfromthe"center",theimagefromthe"center"issmall,andatthe"center"theimageisaslargeastheobject;inthe"center"Outside,theinvertedimageisformed,thenear"middle"imageislarge,andthefar"middle"imageissmall.Convexmirrorsonlyformapositiveimage,thenearmirrorimageislarge,andthefarmirrorimageissmall.The"center"hereisthecenterofthesphericalmirror.AlthoughMozihasnotbeenabletodistinguishthedifferencebetweenthecenterofthesphereandthefocus,andconfusedthecenterofthespherewiththefocus,hisconclusionisbasicallyconsistentwiththeimagingprincipleofmodernsphericalmirrors.

AsearlyastheWesternHanDynasty,therewasarecordofMoziasamemberoftheSongDynasty,"HistoricalRecords·MenciusandXunqingBiography":"GaiModi,thedoctoroftheSongDynasty,wasgoodatguardingtheimperialcourtandwasusedforthepurposeoffrugality.ItmaybecalledwhenhemergedwithConfucius,orlater."Accordingtothis,manyscholarscalledhimSongpeople,andthistheoryhasbeenpopulartothisday.Asweallknow,thehistoricalmaterialvalueof"HistoricalRecords"isveryhigh.Here,althoughSimaQiandidnotspecifythebirthplaceofMozi,hepointedoutthatMoziwasthe"DoctorofSong".

Judgingfromthewholebookof"Mozi",MozihasmanyactivitiesinSongState,hastheclosestrelationshipwithSongState,andhasthedeepestaffectionforSongState.Itcanbeseenfromthe"Song"incident.Inaddition,thebook"Mozi"obviouslyhasthecharacteristicsoftheSonglocaldialect,andthereisnoLuandChudialects.ThisisalsoastrongevidencethattheSongpeopleofMozisaid.Furthermore,Moziisascholarwhotravelsaroundtheworldwiththeworldashisbosom.Theso-called"Confuciuspotstoveisnotblack,Mozi'sbenchisnotwarm",thatis,heoftentravelsbetweenSong,Lu,Qi,andWeiState,ChuStateandmanyotherplaces.Fromthispointofview,itisfar-fetchedthatLiangQichaodeniesMoziasaSongnativewiththephrase"returntotheSongDynasty"."ReturningtoSongDynasty"onlyprovedthatMozididnotliveinSongDynastyatthattime,butitdoesnotprovethathewasnotfromSongDynasty.ThewriterGeHongoftheEasternJinDynastyhasclearlyrecordedin"TheLegendofImmortals":"ThenameofMoziisDi,andthenameofSongisalso."
