Jia is a philosophical sect in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in China. It is one of the hundreds of schools of thought. Together with Confucianism represented by Confucius and Taoism represented by Laozi, it constitutes the three major philosophical systems in ancient China. Legalism Han Feizi, the representative, called Confucianism "the most prominent school of the world", while Mencius, the representative of Confucianism, also said, "The words of the world belong not to Yang (Yang Zhu, a representative figure of Taoism), but to Mozi (Mozi)", etc., which proves that Mohism Thought once had its glory in China. Yang and Mo are two sides of the coin, so Yang and Mo complement each other. However, throughout the ages, people have used Mencius' general thinking of "distance from Yang and Mo" to evaluate Yang Mo, which is unfair [1]

Mohism originated during the Warring States Period. The founder is Mo Zhai (Mozi). Mohism is a highly disciplined academic group, and its leader is called "Big Man". Its members must implement Mohist ideas when serving as officials in various countries, and their salaries must also be donated to the group. The Mohist school can be divided into earlier and later periods: in the early period, its thoughts mainly dealt with social politics, ethics and epistemology issues, and focused on wars in the modern world; in the later period, Mohists made important contributions in logic and began to move closer to the field of scientific research.

The main ideological propositions of Mohism are: equal love between people (universal love), opposition to aggressive wars (non-offensive), advocating thrift, opposing extravagance and waste (frugal use), and emphasizing the inheritance of predecessors. Cultural wealth (Minggui), mastering the laws of nature (Tianzhi), etc.

Due to the unique political attributes of Mohist thought and the collusion policy between officials and academics of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty of "deposing hundreds of schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", Mohism was constantly suppressed and gradually lost its realistic foundation. Thoughts gradually became extinct in China; it was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China that scholars dug up Mohism from the pile of old papers and discovered its progressive nature. In recent years, through the efforts of some new Mohists, some useful viewpoints in Mohist theory have begun to enter people's field of vision.
