Chapter 378: Ink's Dao Foundation
The Mohists are not afraid of challenges. Although they were inexplicably carried out to compare with the Yue Girl and inexplicably questioned their strength, since they are in the technical field that the Mohists are good at, they have no reason to lose.
If you lose, it will be embarrassing and will be ridiculed for being inferior to the Yue women. If it spreads, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the emerging Mohist family. No matter why everyone compares the Mohist family with the Yue women, in short, the Mohist family must show their strength, otherwise they will definitely be ridiculed by the world. If the Mohist family is not as skilled as women, who is willing to join the Mohist family in the future?
However, Zhu Cheng’s three major problems are difficult to solve. To be honest, even Taoist Lingbao doesn’t know the answer. If he is still in the Xuan Realm, he just needs to calculate it with his fingers, but now he can’t figure it out.
The advantage of immortals over mortals is that immortals can skip the process and get results directly, while mortals need to work hard to reap.
So now the Taoist Lingbao also has to use the wisdom of mortals and the means of mortals to solve difficult problems. I am really not used to it, so I feel like I have become a baby who is staggering and learning to walk. They used to fly, but now they are even harder to walk.
"Don't we have a ladder? It's better to create a ladder to climb a tree. If you use a long rope as the basis, you can know how high the big tree is." As long as you can reach the top of the tree, it is not a problem to get the height of the tree.
The first problem is solved, and the next is the second problem.
Mo Zi ran over to see that the huge rock was very huge, exceeding the ability of all scales to withstand. This was very difficult, and Mo Zi was also frowning.
It is even more difficult to distinguish two golden crowns from the last one, because the two golden crowns are exactly the same as the naked eye and the weight is exactly the same.
The first problem can be found and a solution can be created. The second and third problems are thought hard by the Mo family disciples, but they do not know how to solve them.
But it was really interesting. Mo Zi exclaimed: "These three questions of Zhucheng are indeed extraordinary. The trees are taller than people, and the huge rocks are hard to move, and the golden crown is no different." "When I was studying in Confucianism before, I met people from different countries, and had fierce discussions, and endpoints, which made people's hearts enterprising. Today is just like yesterday, and I am excited."
The Taoist Lingbao thought to himself that there is something to discuss about "circle, surface, endpoint".
In fact, it defines circles, faces, and endpoints.
"Mo Wei, listen to my explanation. People will understand circles, surfaces, and endpoints. Most of the people who understand them are craftsmen. Those male tribes and doctors have only read the words of sages since childhood, but they don't know what circles are, surfaces, and endpoints are? So we must express them accurately in language so that people can understand these things according to language." Mo Zi explained why they wanted to discuss 'circles, surfaces, and endpoints'.
The Taoist Lingbao thought that there was no such need for gods. If you want to tell the other party something that the other party had never seen before, just broadcast it on demand and share the memory with others directly. Whether it is the fragrance, taste, sound or pattern, it can make people feel immersive.
Obviously, mortals do not have this ability, so mortals must express it accurately through language. But how can they convey fragrance, taste, sound and patterns by relying solely on language?
The human language can only express simple content, but the human race still needs to work hard to master the language in order to better accumulate knowledge and inherit experience.
The reason why gods are so powerful is that many of the experiences of gods can be preserved intact. Although they may not be right, what is passed down includes smell, taste, sound, touch and patterns.
For example, if an animal becomes extinct, humans will never know how it tastes like. But as long as the immortal has eaten it, they can retain the taste of this extinct animal and even share it with other immortals.
The Taoist Lingbao seemed to have lost something, and seemed to understand that the essential difference between immortals and mortals was not only mana and life span, but also in the inheritance of experience.
And it is precisely because of mortals that some things that are ignored by immortals are valued by immortals, and those things that are taken for granted by immortals may be more important than imagined.
For example, the way immortals convey information is to let people who have never seen the circle understand it, a group of Mo family disciples need to discuss it to finally be defined. The immortals only need to click a little to imprint the form of the circle into other people's brains.
"What is circle?" Mo Wei wanted to understand how mortals spread information.
"One middle is the same length." Mo Zi said, the distance from the center of a circle and every point in the circle to the center is the same.
When Taoist Lingbao heard this, he realized that a circle formed in his heart, so he continued to ask, "What is the face?"
"The face is flat, and the face is the same height."
There are two points in space, and the trajectory of the third point with the same length from two points is called a surface. In the future, the definition of plane is like this, and Mozi's definition of plane is not rigorous enough.
But it also allowed the Taoist Lingbao to clearly think of planes with the same height, and finally the end point. Mozi's definition is "the body is not thick and the former one".
Of course, the Mohist contributions are not only that. These three are just the beginning. Later, the Mohist will define abstract concepts such as "double", "dream", "time," "space," and "movement", and provide more dimensions for human communication.
Confucianism is the moral yardstick, while Mohism is the dimension yardstick.
The moral yardstick changes less, and the dimension yardstick changes as humans' ability to understand the world improves, which is also the reason why Mohist thought was not valued in the later period. After all, technology is developed, and no matter how advanced Mohist technology was in the Spring and Autumn Period, it would be useless, and it would eventually fall behind in the future.
Daoji?! After hearing Mozi's words, Taoist Lingbao immediately felt that Daoji had been produced in his body, but at this time he was not surprised, but was deeply impressed by the Mohist learning. Because he realized that mortals were completing the great cause of the shawl immortal through his own way.
Let people who have never seen the circle know what the circle is, and even express all the things that the human race cannot see and touch in words. He understood the greatness of the Mohist school and truly understood the purpose of worshiping immortals with ordinary people.
The existence of mortals reflects what is ignored by immortals.
"Mozi is a great talent, please accept my worship." Taoist Lingbao bowed sincerely.
Mo Zhai was also very happy to see the other party sincerely bowing, but their work has just begun, and there are still many things that need to be defined yet.
The topic was withdrawn from Zhu Cheng's three questions. Now Mo Zi has only solved one question, but he is a person who sincerely pursues the truth, so he will not speak ill of Yue women to Yue women just because he can't solve it himself. He is very much looking forward to how Yue women solve the problem.
A group of people discussed for several days, but the last two questions were still unsolvable. So on this day, all the people from Zhucheng gathered in the market square, where the Yue women invited the ink masters to do the questions together.
Mo Zhai walked over with his disciples, still with his sleeves and legs rolled up, and his dark skin shone in the sun.
On the other side, the Yue women's long skirt was mopping the floor, standing gracefully. The five of them were wearing the Yue national style of the Lake Lan Luoqun, standing quietly like five ladies' pottery figurines.
Although he is not beautiful, his dignified manner is amazing.
Yun Yao thought that he used the method of public opinion kidnapping to push the Mo family to stand here. When the question was answered, Mozi would definitely accept them joining the Mo family.
Although some methods have been used, it is so difficult for women to learn skills these days, and it is really difficult to achieve without means.
