Chapter 353

If the first two volumes seem to have been revised a lot, but the original traces of "Mozi" can still be seen as a whole, then the third volume has completely become a whole set of "science".

The third volume is a series of contents derived from the scientific definition in "Mo Jing".

From Mohism's debate on hearing, knowing, and knowing, it developed into "Logic", which contains some simple logical content, which can only be regarded as an enlightenment reading, but it contains reasoning.

"Geometry" is derived from the content defined by Mozi, such as "circle, one center has the same length", "flatness, the same height", etc., starting from the definition, and gradually explaining some geometric content, which is also matched with "Logic" .

The definition of the same length in Yuanyi is very perfect, so there is no need to talk about it.If it is the same as the same height, it can be simplified to the content of "the common perpendicular lines between parallel lines are equal".

It also adds some basic geometry content that is suitable for you to know.

From the eight optical methods defined by Mozi, small hole imaging and other issues, it developed into the article "On Light".On the whole, Mozi's optical achievements are definitely ahead of the times, there is no doubt about it, and as the beginning of some enlightenment, the content does not need to be too detailed, just leave enough space.

From Mozi's definition of "force is the reason why form is strong", it is derived and developed into "Li Li".

Mozi's own definition of force is not necessarily correct, but it can be corrected.And the verification content proposed by Mozi, such as the principle of leverage and the decomposition of gravity on an inclined plane, are all added to the book "Li Li". As elementary physics, there will be some difficult content about curves in the follow-up.

From Mozi's craftsmanship of making various machines, the "Machinery" is derived, which mainly introduces a series of simple mechanical principles, such as levers and connecting rods.It is supplemented by mills, hydraulic hammers, etc.

From Mozi's definition of "when one is in the tenth place, this one is bigger than the five in each of you", and then combined with the number of nine at this time, it is derived into "Nine Numbers of Mohist", which mainly expounds Definition of some elementary mathematics content, not just pure arithmetic.

In addition, there are other contents such as "Jiarong", "Mao Man", "Tang Wen", "Shoucheng", "Huaye", etc., which are not all-inclusive, but basically completed some scientific enlightenment.

Finally, there is a volume of "Deduction", which belongs to the content of scientific methodology. It tells a truth, how to verify, how to reason, and integrates empiricism and rational theory.

Most of the content in this part is written by Shi Shi, which is regarded as borrowing the name of Mozi, and of course there are many original words of Mozi in it.

And this part of the content is exactly the essence of Mozi's belief that Mohism "can last forever in the world", and it is generally called the "Will of Heaven" part.

But this part of Mo Zi just flipped through it roughly and put it aside.

He believes that this part of the content does not involve theoretical disputes, yes or no.

He thinks that he is not as good as "Mr. Sai" and "Tang Han", and he may not understand some things in it, but he must have given enough reasoning after thinking about it, so he doesn't need to pay attention to it.

I also firmly believe that this belongs to the category of "Tianzhi" and is an important content of the Mohist school that lasted through the ages, so I put it aside after a cursory look.

What he mainly cares about is actually the second part, which is the part related to the morality of Mohism.

Although I believe in Shi, I still have to think about it carefully to see how much private goods Shi has mixed into it and how much content has been corrected.

It is inconvenient to say at this time, so I put this book aside first, and said: "I will read it carefully for a few days, don't worry, I can last a year or two, and I can finish it. These things are very important to the Mohists. It's important, I understand."

Shi bowed his head and said: "If you agree, it is best to publish it as soon as possible. The righteousness of Mohism needs to be spread to the world. Just like what the disciples said back then, Mr. walked on the grass and silk, incarnate tens of thousands, so as to benefit the world."

Mozi nodded and said, "It's great that you're all about benefiting the world, and I know that too."

He pointed to a futon beside him and said, "Sit closer, I'll tell you something else."

When he stood up and approached, Mozi suddenly said, "Just now I read your article "Sheng Chuo", and I thought of what happened in Shangqiu back then."

"Successful and betrayal, the Mohist team should have been eliminated. This is correct. Since then, you have clearly distinguished what you like and what you hate, and I agree with that."

"Afterwards, you and I, Gao Sunzi, and Wei Yue and others all had arguments. It's not wrong to say that the more you argue, the more clear it is."

"You never bow your head, and you never agree to cater to what you think is wrong. This is very good, but... well, you have to understand that what is good is different from the person who will argue with you in the future .”

Shi nodded and said: "My disciple understands. Sheng Chuo abandons righteousness. The rest of them have the ambition to make the world happy, but they do it differently from me."

He chose his words carefully, and Mozi smiled and said: "Yes, what you said is very good. The way you do it is different from yours, so it may not be wrong. Since you have compiled "Tianzhi" and "Tianyan", you should know many things...need to verify Reasoning is the only way to know right from wrong.”

"This time, you know what to discuss at the fraternity meeting."

Shi hummed and said, "The disciple knows."

Mozi pointed to his chest that was constantly rising and falling due to coughing, and said, "I am old, and I understand it in my heart. So, this time, even if I know how to benefit the Mo family, I will not express my opinion."

"Because what I have to worry about is whether the Mohist path can continue after I die, and whether these system rules can correct mistakes and choose the most beneficial righteousness for the world."

"For me, this time I've made my statement. The Mohist family has gone through the next ten years, and I can't see what will happen in the future."

"I don't want to just look at ten years from now. I want to look at a hundred years from now. I want to know that even if I die... even if your generation is dead, the Mo family can still gather the right righteousness and walk the right path."

This is the end of Mozi's words, and I understand that Mozi has already done everything he can do, and also understands what Mozi means.

In the end, everyone will die, but as long as the rules and systems of the Mohist school are not bad, if it can be confirmed this time, then the Mohist school will last forever, and the world will eventually benefit greatly.

Mozi looked at Shi, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, I was talking about the world with Qin Huali. I said that my knowledge of Mohism is endless in the world, and it must rely on the will of heaven."

"The story you just said about the Chu people carving a boat and seeking a sword, I hope that the Mo family's story will be told like this in the future."

"After the sword fell into the water, people don't need to take out the "Essence of Mohism", search for chapters and excerpts from it, and look for me. Did Mo Di say where to find the sword?"

"What I hope is that people can deduce where the sword is based on the "Essence of Mohism", the speed of the boat and the water, and when the sword fell into the water."

"You can find it when you fall in the big river; you can find it when you fall in the river; you can still find it when you fall in Surabaya..."

"Since you wrote the "Essence of Mohism", I just ask you, do you understand what it means? Is it possible to do it?"

Shi Baishou solemnly said: "It can be done. Mr. Yao said that Yao's government is not good even now. My disciples never thought that good government can remain unchanged for hundreds of thousands of years."

Mozi reassured: "That's very good, that's good."

"Okay, okay! Then you go on, I'll read it now and read it as soon as possible. If it's okay, it can be published."
