What was the reason why Mohism was lost two thousand years ago?

After Qin and Han Dynasties, why didn't Mohism spread around the world like Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and Legalism? Mohism had a glorious era. Han Feizi once said: "Confucianism and Mohism are used by talents in the world." (Han Feizi is famous for learning) Compare Confucianism and Mohism. Zhuangzi also objectively evaluated Mozi's way: "Don't waste the future generations, don't waste everything, don't take a few photos, and correct yourself with the rope ink for the urgency of the world." ("Zhuangzi Tianxia") Mencius once said, "If the words of the world do not belong to Yang (that is, the theory of Yang Zhu, which experts think is the theory of early Taoism), they belong to Mo". It can be seen that only Confucianism, Mohism and Taoism were the most popular theories at that time. Mencius used harsh language to criticize Mohism in his works, which proved that Mohism, as the biggest opponent of Confucianism, had achieved a prominent position on an equal footing with Confucius. Mr. Feng Youlan, a great philosopher in modern history, said in The Original Supplement of Confucianism and Mohism: "The Confucianists in the pre-Qin and early Han dynasties also said that the schools represented by Gai all had deep social backgrounds and great social forces. ..... In fact, only Mozi is enough in the name of Wu Sheng who competes with Confucius. " But at the turn of the Qin and Han Dynasties, Mohism declined rapidly, and its influence was declining. After several explanations, Mohism finally faded out of the historical stage, making the book Mozi lost several times, and there are still many lost articles. With the development of history, Confucianism was in full swing, and Taoism came from behind. "Complementarity of Confucianism and Taoism" constitutes the basic structure of China culture, but Mohism has been forced out of the main channel of the China River of Culture. First of all, Mozi, as a "non-Confucian", rebelled against the unequal existing order and all kinds of aggression, which became a main line running through his entire academic thought and social activities. He always stands on the side of the weak without reservation and becomes the biggest ideological and behavioral obstacle for the vested interests in society. He advocates "non-attack" and opposes the threat of force, which will hurt innocent people. This can only be supported by a weak country defeated by a powerful vassal state, and the expanding powers are obviously annoyed with him. Second, the values of thrift and funeral. He opposes wasting precious lives during the long mourning period, so that everyone can do more things that are beneficial to society. He opposed three concubines and six concubines of princes and ministers, and let all women in the world enjoy the happiness of the world, which is obviously not allowed by Confucianism, which is sought after by the ruling group. Secondly, Mohism strongly advocates hard work and demands that "we should eat according to our stomachs and tailor our clothes", which obviously tickles the teeth of those rich and extravagant nobles. Imagine, can we finally lay a solid foundation for those dignitaries who want to enjoy wealth and listen to his harsh words? It is not surprising that some people in the ruling class ridiculed Mohism as a bitch and Xunzi even ridiculed Mohism as a servant. Because of this, there are always some people in history who use him, fear him, hate him and even destroy him. Confucianism and Taoism, on the other hand, are much consistent with those gentlemen's ideas, and their thoughts and ideas sound much better. In the life pattern of ruling groups and literati, it is a pleasant thing to rule the country with Confucianism if you advance, and to cultivate yourself with Taoism if you retreat. Only in comfort, forget the interests of ordinary people! Mohist thought does not conform to the interests of feudal rulers and hinders the interests of those in power! ! ! ! Rulers of past dynasties regarded Mohism as a poisonous snake and scorpion ~ ~ ~
