question 1: what is the practical significance of Mozi's thought in today's society? Mozi's thought of "loving and not attacking" has positive practical significance for building a harmonious society.
Mozi (about 479 BC ~ 381 BC) was born in Xiao Guo, a country affiliated to Lu State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period (in Tengzhou, Shandong Province today). He was the founder of mohists in China before Qin Dynasty, a famous thinker, politician, strategist and scientist during the Warring States Period, and his book Mozi was handed down from generation to generation. The Mohist doctrine founded by him had a great influence at that time, and it was also called "outstanding learning" with Confucianism.
The scholars attending the meeting believed that Mozi's ideas of "universal love", "non-aggression", "Shang Xian", "Shang Tong" and "saving money" comprehensively reflected and explained the harmonious thoughts of people, countries, countries and people, production and consumption, and played a decisive role in China's "harmonious culture".
Professor Li Shaokun from the University of Edinburgh, China, believes that Confucianism and Mohism are complementary to each other as the main structure of China culture. Both Mohism and Confucianism pursue social harmony, hoping to build a society without war, competition, intrigue and mutual assistance. Professor Wang Zanyuan of National Taiwan Province Normal University said that the ethics of "universal love" creatively transformed self-love and self-interest into mutual benefit by examining Mozi's thought. The mutual benefit, mutual assistance and reciprocity of "universal love", as well as the way of loving others, make people live in harmony, * * * save * * glory and interact benignly. His "non-attack" thought is pacifism backed by strength, which can maintain a peaceful environment, and only a peaceful environment can build a harmonious society. Professor Wang Zanyuan believes that Mozi's thought has its correctness and possibility. As long as we practice, we can build a harmonious society.
scholars attending the conference believe that in today's world, the contradictions between economic integration and political and cultural pluralism are increasingly complicated, and human beings are facing unprecedented problems of survival and development, such as energy crisis, ecological deterioration, environmental pollution, social disorder, people's spiritual loss, moral anomie and value imbalance. Studying Mozi's thought and learning from the essence of his theory is of positive practical significance for human beings to correctly understand themselves, know the outside world, safeguard world peace, build a harmonious society and protect the earth home that human beings have.
question 2: what is the practical significance of Mozi's proposition? The Practical Significance of Mozi's Economic Thought There are many contents of practical significance in Mozi's economic thought, and only the parts that have obvious guiding significance for today's socialist construction are selected to be discussed below. (1) The practical significance of "universal love" and "non-aggression" The thought of "universal love" and "non-aggression" has important guiding significance in many aspects, ranging from international communication to interpersonal communication. When the principles of "universal love" and "non-aggression" are applied to international exchanges, it is necessary to adhere to the principle of peace. Nowadays, advocating peace and opposing force has become the common understanding of all countries in the world in dealing with international issues. All countries, big or small, strong or weak, should be regarded as equal members of the international community. As Mozi advocated, "the world loves each other, countries don't attack each other, and families don't mess with each other" {29}, "If you look at a country, if you look at a family, if you look at a person's body, if you look at his body" {31}. Applying the thoughts of "universal love" and "non-aggression" to interpersonal communication is just like Mozi's suggestion that "a benevolent person who works will promote the benefits of the world and eliminate the harm of the world" and "a husband who loves others will love him accordingly; Those who benefit others will benefit from it; The wicked, people will be evil; Those who harm others will be harmed. " The idea of "universal love" is similar to that of today's "universal love", which requires equal treatment of caring for others and mutual understanding and tolerance between people, which is quite beneficial to cultivate a good interpersonal network, adjust the relationship between people and provide a good interpersonal environment for economic development. (2) The practical significance of the "doomed" theory of pursuing equality. The "doomed" thought can be regarded as the spiritual driving force of economic development at that time and even now. For the first time, he expressed man's subjectivity in a systematic theoretical form, thinking that it is man who decides his own destiny, not heaven, and that people can live a rich and stable life through hard work, which embodies the positive and optimistic life philosophy of Mohism. The main body of economic activities is people, and economic construction depends on people's efforts. Without people's initiative to create, there will be no economic development. Mozi's theory of "non-destiny" is a powerful attack on the theory of destiny, which can stimulate people's enthusiasm for production and their enthusiasm for pursuing a happy life. (3) The practical significance of "frugality" consumption thought Mozi's "frugality" consumption thought plays an important role in China's current economic development and social construction. First of all, it is conducive to curbing the polarization of consumption, maintaining social stability and promoting economic development on the basis of meeting the consumption needs of most people. Secondly, Mozi's consumption thought of "saving money" is mainly aimed at the upper class of society, requiring the rulers to "save money and teach the people" and set an example to educate the people. This thought is of positive significance for warning the phenomenon of extravagance and waste and public funds eating and drinking in today's society. Thirdly, the idea of "frugality" is also of positive significance to curb the current waste of resources. Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of the level of productive forces, the available resources are more and more extensive, which makes some people feel overly optimistic and do not pay attention to saving resources in the process of production and life, resulting in a certain degree of waste, which is extremely unfavorable to China's economic construction, which is still in the primary stage of socialism. In short, although Mohist thought has not become the mainstream thought that has influenced China's history for thousands of years like Confucian culture, the essence of its economic thought has indelible progressive significance both at that time and today's society. < P > Question 3: What is the practical significance of Lu Xun's "Non-attack"? Lu Xun's "A New Story of Non-Attack" is the extracurricular reading material of the ninth grade of People's Education Edition. The article was written by Mr. Lu Xun in August 1934. It was not published in newspapers and periodicals before it was included in New Stories. The novel "Non-attack" is mainly based on "Mozi? Public loss.
Mozi (about 468-376 BC) was a Zhai, a native of Lu during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He was once a doctor of the Song Dynasty, an ancient Chinese thinker and the founder of mohists. He advocates "universal love" and opposes war, and has the spirit of "sticking to his heels and benefiting the world for it" (Meng Ke's words). His works include fifty-three works of Mozi, most of which are described by his disciples.
Mr. Lu Xun's "Managing Water" and "Not Attacking" not only criticize the society, but also focus on writing two positive figures. Xia Yu's flood control and Mozi's non-attack are recorded in the ancient history of China. According to legend, Xia Yu went out to control the water on the fourth day after his marriage, and spent eight years (thirteen years) outside, but did not enter the house three times. In the people's ideal, he is a leader who forgets personal interests and comes from the lower class. Lu Xun's Yu not only has the appearance of a working farmer: "black face and yellow beard, slightly bent legs", a big man with rough hands and feet; It also summarizes the excellent qualities of farmers in China: hard-working, hard-working and simple, showing tenacity and strength from silence. The work uses various scenes ―― the tedious and boring discussion of scholars on the cultural mountain, and the vigorous investigation of the big shots in the water conservancy bureau, which reflects the height of Yu through the humble souls and vulgar words and deeds around him, thus shaping this hero from the people. Mozi was an ancient intellectual who bowed himself and worked hard. Contrary to Confucianism, he is the representative of the interests of the common people, and advocates the spirit of self-sacrifice and self-practice. His theory is based on non-aggression, universal love, chivalry and kindness. He is ragged and ragged, yet brave, witty and full of selfless spirit. When the State of Chu planned to attack the State of Song, he went all the way around the clock to dissuade the King of Chu, and at the same time commanded Guan Qian 'ao to prepare for the battle: "Don't just wait for the success of your words." The story revolves around Mozi's actions: crossing the Song Dynasty and entering Chu all the way, conquering the king of Chu with justice and defeating defeat with practical learning. Lu Xun praised these two positive images, as he said in an essay in 1934: "Since ancient times, there have been people who have worked hard, who have worked hard for the people, who have sacrificed their lives for the Dharma ... Although it is the so-called' official history' of genealogy for emperors, it often cannot hide their brilliance. This is the backbone of China." (Note: "Jiejie Pavilion Essay? Have China people lost their confidence?) Yu and Mozi are described as "the backbone of China". At the same time, Lu Xun also wrote about Mozi's students, a group of dark-faced people in charge of Qian Ao and Yu, whose clothes were worn out, motionless, silent and smiling, as well as unknown colleagues who dared to argue with Mr. Bird Head. These characters, with their concrete actions, show a positive moral concept. By contrast, they overwhelm Gongbo, Cao Gongzi, scholars on the mountain of culture, and big shots in the water conservancy bureau, causing a strong * * * sound in readers' hearts. Lu Xun denied the latter, which was his denunciation of ghosts and gods in real life; Affirming the former shows that the masses have become a positive force in his thoughts. Lu Xun once said in "Answering the Question of the International Literature Society": "In creation, because I am not in the vortex center of the revolution and I can't go everywhere for a long time, I can only expose the disadvantages of the old society." But he was not confined to this point, so he found another way, made up new stories, and enthusiastically expressed his praise and praise to the people and their generations by using historical figures.
Question 4: The practical significance of Mozi's love and non-attack. The significance of "love and non-attack" in Beijing Olympic Games and Taiwan Province's
election can be understood from two levels. Let's start with "non-attack": the meaning of "non-attack" can be understood as resolving all kinds of contradictions in reality in a peaceful state. Whether it is Martin Luther King's I have a dream or Mahatma Gandhi's "non-violence and non-cooperation movement", it coincides with Mozi's "non-attack" thought. "Non-attack", first of all, we must have a calm mind to face contradictions. At least one of the opposing sides must have a "forbearance" attitude. Tolerance does not mean recognizing one side, but giving the other side a time and space to obey the details that need to be improved. Indeed, war or radical behavior cannot be the only way to resolve contradictions. Today, with "peace and development" as the mainstream, "non-attack" may be a more effective way to resolve contradictions.
When it comes to "universal love", it seems to have a deeper philosophical meaning than "non-aggression". Luo Xuejuan, the Olympic champion, once said, "I want to thank my friends who supported me and my enemies.". Universal love seems to be a characteristic that God wants to endow people with. Although everyone who lives in a realistic and competitive society can't fully embody this point, "universal love" seems to be a call to people. Only by having a broad mind can we treat people around us more leniently. Perhaps, only the savior can completely achieve universal love, but with a "universal love" heart, the warm light of human nature can be released.
"Love and not attack" explains the truest and most beautiful aspects of human nature or the aspects that need to be improved most from the inside out. "Not attacking" is easy, and it is difficult to treat things around you with a calm heart, but it is difficult to love and wait for people around you with a warm heart.
