Features: Basic Collection of Chinese Family Books · Volume of the Hundred Schools of Thought. The book Mozi extensively covers various aspects such as society, politics, economy, education, industrial and agricultural production, science and technology, and military affairs. It was compiled or collectively created by generations of Mohists. The time span extends from the early Warring States period (5th century BC) to the late Warring States period (3rd century BC), nearly three hundred years. Therefore, Mozi was not written by Mozi alone but rather the result of continuous research and gradual compilation by Mozi and his successors. As a result, the 53 chapters of Mozi that have been passed down to this day vary in authorship, date, and content, requiring separate explanations.
