Features: This book is a collation, interpretation, and study of the original Mo Jing, specifically the two chapters Jingshang and Jingshuo Shang from the Mozi text. The "General Discussion" section primarily further argues for the Mozi self-authored theory of Jingshang and Jingshuo Shang, which has received little attention and recognition in recent years. It analyzes the theoretical system of Mo Jing, clarifies that the "" (dialectics) it discusses encompasses epistemology, including logic, and evaluates the relationship between epistemology and logic from this perspective. The "Specific Discussion" consists of ninety-seven sections, which provide a line-by-line study of the original texts of Jing and Shuo. The book aims to restore the original form and meaning of Jing and Shuo, fully examining the achievements of previous collations, interpretations, and studies. Starting from the historical context up to contemporary research status and existing issues, it builds upon the accomplishments already reached in academia and takes a further step forward. Additionally, based on long-term research into the school of (), it dispels some confusions between the () and () schools, revealing the true relationship between them.
