Abstract

"Ink by the" total four - , , and put in the existing fifty-three "Mo", the points of argument, a total of one hundred eighty articles, each one meaning, each involving several mutually exclusive, as Confucius' Spring and Autumn. " Ji arrogant superfluous diction teeth, Jane Aogu Ya, then rich in content obscure. the solution, also make clear Vladimir, can be described as difficult to read and difficult to understand men. Since the Spring and Autumn since; scholar Xian study of a few into his secrets. Chuang Tzu once said: "South of Mexico, if they phase Richter mused chanting" Mo Jing ", but good still different, Qiao blame each other, are the name, called" Do not Mexico "." "Do not ink," the term before in the Zhuangzi, nevertheless by no means such as Hu tribe within the meaning of Mozi's school. The intrinsic re-Bo, if mathematics, economics, ethics, physics, etc., without, regardless of the arguments, past and present queer is also rare. Or its content and "Mo" If the central idea of making , , etc. are different, its an anti-Mohist philosophy, so their non-Mexican scholar suspect s relegated, believed only by the ink; or suspected facilities, long relegated such, its content between the "masters" of the words were similar. "Famous" argumentative, much can be traced back to Deng's theory and analysis of two large Chi in the middle of the Warring States Period. By Kung-sun Lung, Hui Shi is most famous, the former advocate Kennedy White, White Horse of the theory; the latter with its multi-talented, write books five cars. The former high vows, then Zheyi mad Ao uninhibited, dreams, and Xi is willing to Mohist disciples of the "other Mexico" Down? If the theory of "ink by" and "masters" of the association, such as oxen and horses, and white Kennedy said, and "ink by" similar. If the diction is concerned; the Warring States Period of the text easy to understand, differs greatly from the Spring and Autumn. Anything of home world of today, in terms of the ancient words of peace? The Moist Classics is composed of four books, which at present, contains 53 articles with more than 180 propositions, each exposes, as in the Spring and Autumn of Confucius, one separate idea. The Classics are rich in meaning, written in elegant style, but with profound, elaborate terms, making it unreadable. For centuries, scholars studied them and found them deep in meaning and wide in scope, a unique work hard to equal. As there was some kind of deviation in one of Mo-Tze's Books, some scholars wonder and doubt that it was the work of the logicians. As a matter of fact, logicians as Kun Sun-lung, a prolific and gifted writer, and Hui-shih, who had a high opinion of himself, would not deign to claim affiliation to the Moist School. Even though some part of the said Moist Classics did bear resemblance to the sophistry of the logicians, the language, however, was quite different for it represented the styles of two different periods, the Warring States and the Spring and Autumn. It would be hard to imagine how anyone can speak the language of the ancients while living in a contemporary surrounding
