Story:
During the Warring States period, Mo Di (墨翟), a craftsman from the State of Song, was critical of the elaborate rituals of Confucianism. He founded a new school of thought, advocating for "anti-Confucianism."
Mohist followers promoted frugality in daily life and funerals. They lived in humble earthen houses, ate simple meals, and wore plain hemp clothes. Within their community, members offered mutual aid, strictly adhered to discipline, and obeyed their leader.
They emphasized strengthening agriculture and minimizing expenses to ensure that everyone was well-fed and warm, and every family lived in prosperity.
