Pre-qin Scholars (2024)

About This Novel
"Pre-Qin Scholars" is a historical summary and ideological condensation of the pre-Qin era. Taking Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism and Law as the main line, it explains in detail the great debates among hundreds of schools of thought on the good and evil of human nature, the rule of virtue and the rule of law, and action and inaction, spanning more than three hundred years. The Mohists paid attention to society and left behind social ideals, which are equality, mutual benefit, and fraternity; the Taoists paid attention to life and left behind the pursuit of life, which is truth, freedom, and tolerance; the Legalists paid attention to the country and left behind the concepts of governance, which are openness, fairness, and justice; the Confucians paid attention to culture and left behind the core values, which are benevolence, justice, and self-improvement. In other words, Mohism left behind the beautiful ideal of building a homeland, Taoism left behind the crystallization of wisdom to guide life, Legalism left behind the ideological resources to cope with changes, and Confucianism left behind the value system that unites the people. A great debate that has lasted for three hundred years has no answer, but has affected the Chinese nation for thousands of years.
