What schools of thought are there in China?

Mohism, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism and their themes and philosophical thoughts.

Mohist school: advocating the spirit of fraternity and chivalry, whenever there is trouble, as long as it is just, it will help, which has the taste of "being chivalrous and fighting for righteousness";

Confucianism: When it comes to benevolence, this "benevolence" has a wide range. Not only what we usually call love, but also dealing with people and cultivating self-cultivation. Why do you say that? How can you love someone if you can't cultivate your self-cultivation? Confucianism talks about love, so love yourself first, then love the people around you, and gradually expand the scope of love with the growth of ability. The most rare thing about Confucius' way of dealing with people is that he only asks himself if he should do something and has no illusions about whether he can do it. Just as his time was very turbulent, it was difficult to talk about morality, but he still supported his practice of giving lectures back and forth between six countries. In fact, he also knew that he could not change the social atmosphere in his lifetime, and it was his spirit of "knowing what not to do" that influenced thousands of Qian Qian descendants in China.

Taoism: What I often hear most is "governing by doing nothing", which is misunderstood by many people, why not care, and let the people (manage the country) take care of themselves. This is really unfair to Zhuangzi and Lolo. How can it be so reasonable to ignore anything? The so-called "inaction" means doing everything and doing everything. That's what it means. How can you say that? In other words, if you want to solve a thing, you must first think clearly about its ins and outs and think of all the major difficulties that may be encountered in the process of solving these things. It can be said that all possible difficulties have been basically thought of, and they have been solved before things encounter these difficulties. Then, let things "develop on their own". To outsiders, it seems that nothing cares about this matter, just like development. But what most people see is "ignoring" the surface of things, and only before the surface of things developing smoothly do they think a lot and make a lot of preparations for this matter. This is the so-called "inaction", that is, doing everything. For example, Mr. Nan, our master of Chinese studies, gave an example when talking about the old "inaction". When I was in Gai Lou, I needed only1000000 yuan to completely build a high-quality building, but the department above gave1000000 yuan, maybe several million yuan, to the general manager Gai Lou, and then let him go, regardless of anything. Why do you want to do this? Why don't you dare to take care of anything? Ten million can build a building, so why millions more? If only10 million is given, the person in charge may cut corners. People always do this. They want to earn some money, otherwise they can't live a good life with that salary. So considering this, they will give the person in charge millions more money. As for the person in charge, I dare not cut corners. After all, people give more money. If you are greedy, the quality of the building will be poor, and you should be held accountable. It is not cost-effective to earn millions, and the person in charge will give some money to the people below to ensure the quality of the building. As soon as the department above throws money, it sleeps soundly. Ha ha, do nothing, this is the so-called don't care about anything, just outsiders don't know, before Gai Lou, people have considered everything and done everything. That's all I can say. This can also be extended to spiritual things.

Buddhists: Buddhists talk about compassion. Here, compassion and Confucian "benevolence" have the same effect, but the profoundness of Buddhism is not acceptable to ordinary people. I only know a little about Buddhism, but I don't know anything else. I only know that Buddhism is an education, not a religion, but now it looks like a religion, and I have to admit it is a religion. Buddhism is used to educate people, and it is the education of Buddhism. The so-called becoming a monk, abandoning everything in the world of mortals and ignoring everything, depends on the situation. If you have a child at home, you will become a monk and leave the child at home to suffer. This is also wrong. The Buddha will not accept such a person. The Buddha said compassion, not love. It is the same as the Confucian "benevolence", but Buddhism contains so many things that it can't be treated as what we call "philosophy" now. There is no idealism and materialism in Buddhism, but it implies the truth of the universe. Everything in Buddhism is "one", and there is no difference, unlike western philosophy, "one divides into two". The so-called rule of the country, there is no ancient and modern, there is no Chinese and foreign, that is the truth. Don't think that the former emperor was better than the present one. It's just that Buddhism is too abstruse to exaggerate its value.

It is often said that Confucianism talks about joining the WTO, Taoism talks about being born, and Buddhism talks about transcendence.

Mozi advocates "universal love", "non-aggression" and "universal love" that is, he opposes oppression, advocates treating others as himself and trying his best to help others. "No attack" is a war against unjust plunder.

Mencius advocated "benevolent government for the people" and reduced the exploitation of the people. He also put forward the thought of "the people are the most important" and "the monarch is the least important" and the moral concept of "wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and powerful people can't bend"

Zhuangzi advocated "Taoism is natural", and thought that nature is a whole, indivisible and indestructible, and people should develop harmoniously with nature. Therefore, he advocates letting nature take its course and governing by doing nothing.

Han Feizi advocated "rule of law", strengthened centralization, suppressed resistance with severe punishment and laws, and consolidated state rule.
