Introduction to the work "The Records of Jixia Academy: Confucianism and Mohism Struggle for Glory"
In the middle of the Warring States Period, King Xuan of Qi was first established. The Jixia Academy on the banks of the Zi River ushered in the heyday of hundreds of schools of thought, but it concealed the turbulent undercurrent of imperial intrigues and disputes among nations. Yan Hui, a Confucian scholar from the State of Lu, inherited Mencius' benevolent governance and entered the lower reaches of Ji with the ambition of educating and calming the people and cessating wars. Qin Huali, a core disciple of the Mohist School, upheld the spirit of caring for all, not attacking, and working hard to help the world. He traveled through troubled times, rushed to aid the refugees, and went to the academy to find a way to break the situation.
The two people who met for the first time, one adhered to benevolence and righteousness to treat the root cause, and the other sought to be practical and practical to save the people. Their theories were contradictory but their characters were sympathetic to each other. At that time, the Prime Minister of Qi State, Tian Ying, in order to consolidate the royal power and control the situation of the government, deliberately instigated conflicts between Confucianism and Mohism, divided the power of scholars, secretly colluded with Wei State, betrayed the country, and used internal fighting among schools to cover up the treasonous conspiracy.
Faced with multiple desperate situations of suspicion and frame-up, alienation from the same family, and checks and balances on royal power, Yan Hui and Qin Huali put aside their century-old grievances and secretly joined forces to dismantle the mists of power and power, expose the treacherous plots of powerful officials, and help the King of Qi eliminate evil in the court. Under the changing circumstances of the troubled times, differences among hundreds of schools of thought gradually emerged, the ambitions of various countries revived, private alliances between Wei and Chu, and military strategists were born, and the three realms of royal power, orthodoxy, and military affairs faced off against each other.
From the struggle between Confucianism and Mohism under Jixia, to the return of hundreds of schools of thought in the world; from the struggle between schools of thought to the end of troubled times. The two gave up their factional paranoia and integrated Confucianism and Mohism's benevolence, righteousness and practical approach to check and balance the selfish desires of the king and control wars in various countries. They used their bodies as commoners to guard the common people and stabilize the balance of the sky. They ended the century-old chaos of the Warring States Period and created a righteous way to save the world and peace for all ages.
