What is the reason why the son of heaven rules the world? Yue: It is difficult for them to share the meaning of the world, that is, to rule the world.

Therefore, if the weather is cold and hot, sometimes there is rain, snow and frost, the grain is not abundant, the six livestock are unsuccessful, the epidemic disease is rampant, and it is stormy, so the punishment on this day will also punish people who are not from Shang Tong.

Mozi's works:

The works about Mozi are Mozi. This book is a record of Mozi's words and deeds by his disciples and his re-disciples.

Mozi is divided into two parts: one part records Mozi's words and deeds, expounds Mozi's thoughts, and mainly reflects the early Mohist thoughts; On the other hand, Shang Jing, Xia Jing, Jing Shuo Shang, Jing Shuo Xia, Daqu and Xiaoqu, generally called Mo Bian or Mo Jing, embody Mohist epistemology and logical thought, and also contain many natural science contents, reflecting Mohist thought in the later period. In the history of logic, it is called late Mohist logic or Mohist logic (one of the three major logic systems in the ancient world, the other two are the logic system of ancient Greece and the theory of Buddhism); It also contains many natural sciences, especially astronomy, geometric optics and statics.

Mozi has a wide range of contents, including politics, military affairs, philosophy, ethics, logic, science and technology, etc. It is an important historical material for studying Mozi and his later studies. In the Western Jin Dynasty, both Lu Sheng and Le Yi commented on Mozi, but it has been lost. There are two popular versions now, Mozi Idleness by Sun Yirang and The Scholars.

Since the Qin Dynasty, Mozi's and his disciples' remarks have been scattered in various ancient books, such as New Preface, Autopsy, Yanzi Chunqiu, Han Feizi, Lu's Chunqiu, Huainanzi, Liezi, Warring States Policy, Old Events in Palace, Biography of Immortals and so on. Han Shu by Liu Xiang in the Western Han Dynasty? Yiwenzhi recorded the scattered articles as Seventy-one Articles of Mozi. There were only 60 articles in the Song Dynasty, and now there are only 53 articles, which are lost 18. Among them, the second part of Jieyong, the first and second parts of Jiezang, the first and second parts of Minggui, the second and third parts of Yuefei and the first part of Feiru were all lost. Except for these eight parts, all the other ten articles are lost. Of these ten articles, only one is poetic justice.
