One of Mozi's ideas is his view of righteousness and profit,which involves how to view the relationship between moral principles and material interests.Confucianism and ink between the "differentiation of righteousness and profit" has always received the attention of many scholars,constantly excavate its value of the times.Compared with Confucianism,Mozi's view of righteousness and profit avoids empty talk of morality,pays more attention to material interests,and thus has more controllability.From this point of view,in Mozi's view of righteousness and profit,the position of "righteousness" and "benefit" is equal,and the value of both is not ignored.It can be said that Mozi's view of righteousness and profit is "Guiyi Shangli "," righteousness" and "profit" are complementary,the two are indispensable.In order to better understand Mozi's concept of "Guiyi Shangli",this paper starts from two lines in order to better show the relationship between " righteousness " and " profit ".One is to start from the two,as their own independent individual to analyze.First of all,we can explain the meaning of the two words by grasping the meaning of meaning and benefit.These two words have appeared frequently in the book Mozi,and naturally they can realize the importance of "righteousness" and "benefit" in Mozi's thought.This requires the corresponding text analysis,in Mozi language environment to better understand the meaning of the two words.This involves analyzing the influence of Mozi's life background on his thought level by examining his birth and death years,because each thought is the product of his time.Therefore,while analyzing the background of his time,he also paid attention to the source of his thoughts in order to better grasp the meaning of "righteousness" and "benefit" as Mozi said.Secondly,from the premise of comparing with the Confucian view of righteousness and profit,we can better excavate the "righteousness" and "benefit" of Mozi,thus discover their respective values,and help to understand the position of "righteousness" and "benefit" in Mozi's thought.Finally,we pay attention to the derivation of the two words or the use of interrelated words to better understand the meaning of words.What is related to "righteousness" is the existence of "benevolence ",which occupies an important position in Chinese traditional ethics,and Mozi is also the first person to talk about the combination of " benevolence " and " righteousness ".From this point of view,we can find out the characteristics of Mozi's view of "benevolence and righteousness outside ",and then better understand Mozi's view of " both benevolence and righteousness ".And explore the concept of "love" and "benefit ",so as to extend the relationship between " righteousness " and " benefit ".At the same time,it also analyzes Mozi's understanding and requirement of "righteousness ",and paves the way for the next chapter from the angle of " public " and " private " to understand the relationship between " righteousness " and " benefit ".The second is from the interaction between the two,the integration of the two to analyze.First of all,in Mozi's thought of " Guiyi Shangli ",righteousness and profit are the unified existence," righteousness" is the basis of value choice,and "profit" is the standard of value judgment,and the two are closely linked.Secondly,focus on the application principle of "Guiyi Shangli" in the ethical level,and analyze the significance of the two from the details.This involves three aspects: the principle of economic ethics guarantee,the principle of political ethics guarantee and the principle of social ethics guarantee,that is,starting from three aspects of economic,political and social life,and analyzing how the relationship between the two is coordinated.From the economic aspect,it is worth noting the principle of wealth distribution embodied in Mozi's thought.And the premise of wealth distribution is to have "virtue ",which is based on " equality ".It can be seen that Mozi also pays attention to the requirement of "righteousness" when it comes to the distribution of material benefits;From the political point of view,it is worth noting that its pursuit of "Shang Xian" thought contains the color of equal opportunity,involving the distribution of justice.At the same time,the system guarantee of "Shang Xian" thought —— " Shang Tong ",from three dimensions to develop a better understanding of Mozi's "righteous government ".The relationship between "righteousness" and "benefit" in "righteousness government" is worth studying and analyzing.From the point of view of social moral norms,this paper expounds a series of requirements put forward by Mozi's thought of "both love and love" in practical interpersonal communication,and explores its significance and value in social construction.
