Ink Jianhong: a Modern Wise Woman Travels Through the Warring States Period

Su Qinghe, a history and social sciences editor in the 21st century, has delved deeply into the classics of various scholars, is familiar with the speculations of hundreds of schools of thought, and is well versed in the rise and fall of troubled times. However, when he touched a thousand-year-old bronze jade pendant engraved with the Mohist inscription of universal love, he accidentally fell into the war-torn late Warring States period. The rituals are broken, the music is ruined, the seven heroes are competing for the deer, the countries are constantly conquering, and human life is as light as grass. In the chaotic ancient times with strict hierarchies, there was no place for women. She dressed strangely and spoke differently. She was regarded as a monster and a disaster when she first arrived, and she almost died in the wilderness. In a desperate situation, she encounters a Momen disciple who is running around in troubled times to save the people. With her knowledge of life and a calm and transparent mind, she struggles to survive in the troubled times. Everyone says that the Mohist philosophy of universal love and non-aggression is empty talk. In troubled times, only power can gain a foothold. But Su Qinghe wanted to collide with the hundreds of pre-Qin schools of thought with modern civilization. She used simple medical skills to treat refugees, improved farming equipment to appease the people, and relied on thorough strategies to resolve difficulties created by powerful people. Based on the debates of hundreds of schools of thought in Jixia Academy, she calmly confronted Mencius and Xun's debate on human nature and Legalism's theory of power. She witnessed Mozi's life of running and adhering to his original intention of loving each other, and sympathizing with the sufferings of the people in troubled times; she saw through the pros and cons of Confucian cultivation of the mind and Legalist governance of the world, and also understood the extreme pull between ideals and reality in troubled times. When the shackles of order trap people's hearts, when conquests and wars continue, and when everyone in the world is chasing fame and wealth, vying for world supremacy. A modern woman from a thousand years later, she does not strive for power or glory, she does not rely on her beauty to earn a living, she only relies on knowledge to establish herself and help others with kindness.
