Hu Ceng's Ode to Historical Poems depicts Mozi's pragmatism and criticism of music, and reflects Mozi's thrifty thought. Mozi believes that music is a luxury enjoyment, which is not conducive to the governance of the country and the people's lives. Mozi believes that extravagance and waste will lead to uneven distribution of social resources and aggravate social injustice and the gap between the rich and the poor. Therefore, he stressed that individuals and society should start from small things, start from daily life, and develop frugal habits and consciousness. Only in this way can we achieve social harmony and progress.
