Chapter 15 015 The theory of the world, the great leader of Mohism! What is "same"? The same is the same. To be together is to be the same. Together, together, is the same. Li Tianyuan began to give examples. For example, take Mohism. From the great men and leaders to the thousands of disciples, all of the Mohists shared the same chivalrous spirit and goal pursuit, so the Mohists were united in purpose and shared the same ideals. This is what is called "sameness"! However, there are also differences among Mohists. After the death of the founder Mozi, the Mohist school was divided into several Mohist schools, including Qin Mo, Chu Mo, Yan Mo..., among which Yan Mo was the main lineage, firmly inheriting and continuously promoting the ideas of the founder of the Mohist school. However, Qin Mo and Chu Mo still exist and continue to this day.
Why did the Mohist school move from "Great Harmony" to "Division"? The answer is: because Yan Mo, Qin Mo, Chu Mo... each has a different language, a different culture, and different beliefs. Therefore, after the death of the founder Mozi, the Mohist school gradually split into several Mohist factions due to cultural differences, language differences, and different beliefs. Let’s take another example – Taoism. Five hundred years ago, due to different views on the theory of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, Taoism gradually evolved into two branches. Yin and Yang School was born and separated from Taoism. Three hundred years ago, Taoism once again split into the Tian Sect and the Ren Sect because of different understandings of "leaving the world" and "entering the world" and of "Tao". The division of Mohism and the two splits of Taoism tell us a truth. Only sects with the same philosophy, spiritual pursuit, culture and beliefs can maintain unity. The six halls of the Nong family have 100,000 disciples, who inherited the mantle of the ancient sage Shennong and Emperor Yan, because they share the same philosophy and because the population is mainly composed of people from Qi. They share the same philosophy, the same culture, the same country, and are guided by the same farming philosophy, so the 100,000 disciples are united and have become the largest sect in the world. The third example is that King Wu defeated King Zhou and established the Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou emperor divided the world into fiefs, and the Great Zhou became the common ruler of the world. The eight hundred princes revered the Great Zhou and were loyal to the world. All the people under heaven were the king's subjects, and all the land under heaven was the king's. Therefore, in the early days of the Zhou Dynasty, all the princes obeyed the king's orders, the world was stable, and the country was prosperous. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty declined, the Zhou emperor was weak, and the ambitions of the princes expanded. They successively challenged the Central Plains, fought for power, and wanted to rule the world. As a result, China was divided and the princes fought each other. Li Tianyuan continued to answer - the general trend of the world is that long-term division will eventually lead to unification, and long-term unification will eventually lead to division. Division and unification are the iron laws of history. Dayu founded the Xia Dynasty, Tang of Shang defeated Jie, King Wu defeated Zhou, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period… History has proven that whenever there is troubled times, a new country will be established. When the new country was first established, the country was strong, the monarchy was majestic, the culture was prosperous, the people were united, the people were stable, and there was no war. Today, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which lasted for 500 years, the wars continued without interruption. Therefore, I believe that only when the world is unified can we achieve "Great Harmony in the World".
The world is unified and divided into three levels. The first level: territorial unification. The territories of the seven major powers in the Warring States Period were returned, and they reshaped China and established unified dynasties, such as the Great Xia, the Great Shang, and the Great Zhou. The second level: cultural unification. Unify the writing system, the scale, and the weights and measures to enhance the concept and cultural identity of "one world" among the people of the world. There are no more people of the seven nations in the world, only the people of China. The third level: national integration. Intermarriage among ethnic groups, changing customs and habits, enhance the understanding, integration and fusion among different ethnic groups, and make the different ethnic groups in China become "people of one country." Li Tianyuan said: "Only when there is one world can there be a world of peace." The six-fingered black hero's hair stood on end, his scalp tingled, his eyes were filled with shock, and he kept muttering: "One day, one day, one day... The territory is unified, the culture is unified, and the ethnic groups are integrated." “Only when the world is united can there be universal peace.” "Hiss!" Han Shen took a breath of cold air, his soul trembling, "Shocking, shocking, but, but also profound and thought-provoking." "No, it was like a bolt of thunder exploding in my mind, an epiphany." Old Man Ban said absentmindedly: "Take the examples of Mohism, Taoism, and Agriculture, and then analyze them from the historical cycle. From sects to countries, from the current situation to the general trend of ancient and modern times." "Tian Yuan's analysis of how to achieve universal peace is astonishing." "And it seems to be quite feasible." Why does it work? Because history has proven it. The Shang Dynasty unified the country for 600 years, and the Zhou Dynasty unified the country for 800 years. Although there were chaos at the end of each dynasty, the world did have periods of great order, revival, and long periods of peace. Master Xu's expression changed slightly, and he said, "But, the unification of the seven kingdoms will inevitably involve war." "When the war broke out, the whole country was in chaos, people from all countries were displaced, they exchanged their children for food, and countless people died and were injured." "Besides~" Master Xu frowned and said, "Which country's writing system should be used as the main one when unifying the writing system?" "If the State of Yan was defeated in the war, wouldn't even its written language be unable to be passed down? In that case, who in the future would remember everything that the State of Yan once knew?" "This~" Old Man Ban's face turned pale. Old Man Ban and Master Xu are both from Yan. The Six-Fingered Black Knight, a great figure of the Mohist school, was also from the State of Yan. As people of Yan, they naturally could not sit idly by and watch their country fall, let alone watch the Yan language disappear completely and be listed as banned texts. As disciples of Mohism, their purpose is to love all and not to attack, to help weak countries survive against strong countries, but they cannot help any country annex other countries. "Ah~" Han Shen took a long breath and sighed. The Six-Fingered Black Knight said, "Just keep watching."
After hearing this, the three continued watching. At the end of answering the questions, Li Tianyuan listed the data. [Not to mention the number of deaths caused by the three minor hegemons, the five major hegemons, and the three families that divided Jin during the Spring and Autumn Period, let’s just talk about the number of people killed by Qin general Bai Qi a few decades ago.] [Bai Qi fought more than 70 battles in his lifetime. In the Battle of Yique, he annihilated the 24-strong coalition army of Han and Wei. In the Battle of Yingdu of Chu, he destroyed the capital of Chu, killed people, and forced Chu to move its capital.] [In the Battle of Changping, 450,000 Zhao surrendered soldiers were buried alive.] 【The God of Killing Bai Qi, slaughtered millions of people. 】 [However, in addition to Bai Qi, there were also Wu Qi, Sun Bin and Pang Juan of Wei who fought for hegemony, and Chu and Yue who fought for hegemony... During the hundreds of years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, how many battles were fought and how many people were killed and injured? ] 【The world must be united. 】 【Throughout history, the world is always accompanied by war, and war is always accompanied by death. 】 [Would you choose 20 to 30 years of war and unification of the world? ] [Or will you choose to escape from reality? Will you stubbornly go against the iron law of history that "long divisions will eventually unite, and long unites will eventually divide", and let the world continue to be in war for hundreds of years? ] [There is no doubt that the first option is to suffer a short pain rather than a long one. A short period of pain can bring new life and stability to our Chinese lineage.] In history, even if Qin II died, However, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing, after sixty years of development, the people had sixty years to recuperate, while the political, economic and cultural sectors developed rapidly and the population soared rapidly. Throughout history, for a country to be able to enjoy peace for sixty years without war is a very rare political prosperity, not to mention in ancient times, even in the context of globalization and modernization. Peace can promote national integration and cultural unification. Because of this, the rule of Emperor Wen and Emperor Jing in just a few decades laid the foundation for the people's hearts and minds in the Han Dynasty. The people of later generations, the main lineage of the Chinese nation, are the "Han nationality." Seeing this, Six-Fingered Black Knight, Han Shen, Old Man Ban, and Master Xu fell silent. They knew that Li Tianyuan was probably right, and this was the only way to achieve "universal peace". However, as disciples of the Mohist school, they remained silent, and their inherent ideas suffered a challenge. As people of Yan, they could not get over the national and ethnic concepts in their hearts. However, the Six-Fingered Black Knight knew that as a great figure of the Mohist school and a leader who pursued the Mohist ideal of universal peace, universal love and non-aggression, he had to make a choice. The six-fingered black knight let out a long breath and said slowly: "For the written test, Li Tianyuan can be the first." "Li Tianyuan was the top scorer in all four tests." Upon hearing this, Han Shen, Old Man Ban, and Master Xu were silent for a while and then nodded in unison. "Perhaps, the Mohist School really needs to change." "One day it rains...one day it rains..."
... At the same time, the results of the final martial arts exam came out. On the top of the mountain, three people stood. Li Tianyuan stood with his hands behind his back, basking in the morning sun and facing the spring breeze. He was young, energetic and full of infinite possibilities. The six-fingered black hero was touched and said, "Perhaps he can really achieve the ideal of universal peace." "The future of Mohism, and the future of the world, will be written by these young people." Boom! The gong was struck, and the Six-Fingered Black Knight activated his skills. The loud voice echoed among the mountains: "The selection is over. Mohist disciple Li Tianyuan is the top four player. He is unparalleled in both civil and military affairs. He can be the chief commander of Mohist school." "The Great Leader of Mohism" "The Great Leader" Thousands of disciples and three commanders, except for the six-fingered black hero, all bowed and greeted, shouting: "Mo family disciples, greet the commander-in-chief!" Li Tianyuan stood on the top of the cliff, with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. You will be at the top of the mountain and have a panoramic view of the mountains!
