"The foolish man who moved the mountain."
Incidentally，this episode has been recorded in "Liezi". (列子)

Liezi.
I introduced already about this book.

Episode of cremation.
Book that it is recorded.
It is Liezi.

Liezi is the name of the person originally.
He studied under one of Lao Tzu's disciples.

And book that was organized around his words and deeds.
It also called Liezi.
This has been said so.

But this has been questioned for a long time.　
According to one estimate，Lao Tzu was a teacher of Confucius.
But his existence is not clear.
Therefore，existence of Liezi also is not clear.

"Liezi is a fictional character.
This book is apocryphal book of the era of the Han Dynasty and later."
As result，this has become popular perception.

"However，many old tale at that time are housed in this book."
It has also become popular perception.

For example，episode of cremation.
It is also recorded in book called "Mozi". (墨子)
And this "Mozi" has been established in the Warring States period.
It seems no doubt.


・・・・・・・・・
　

Mozi.
　
This is also the name of the person.

He is said to be a person of the era of a little after Confucius.
Yes，he seems to be a real person as with Confucius.
But his career is also not clear as with Liezi.

Why?
Of course there seems to be a reason for this.

"Active pacifism."
When summarize his philosophy it become like this.

The religious community that he founded.
They preached the non-war.

And they had the face of another further.
They were also technician populations with high technology.

When a weak countries was invaded from the powers，they preached the non-war to the powers.
And at the same time，they helped the defense of weak countries by its high technology.

Note：They seem to have done this in gratis.


・・・・・・・・・


"We take the defense this way.
Can you break this?"

When persuade against the powers,they did moral persuasion of course.
And at the same time，they also made ​​things like kriegspiel.
　
"We will win like this."　
　
And they were allowed to understand the disadvantage of the strategy by it.　

During the Warring States period，by these acts，his sect seems to have prospered along with Confucianism.
(Although it seems to have been critical each other.)

Note:Real name of "Mo-zi・墨子" is "Mo-di・墨翟".
Current meaning of 子 is child.
But 子 in this case，this is a honorific title to the teacher.
