One of the assigned readings for this week, Han Fei Tzu’s “Eminence in Learning,” discusses the idea that although both Mo Tzu and Confucius followed the teachings of Yao and Shun, their doctrines and practices differ greatly. For example, for funerals, Confucians state that mourning garments must be worn for three years as a symbol of honor, while Mo-ists say that mourning garments must only be worn for three months. Additionally, one school of Confucianism teaches that one should not flee in the face of danger or hesitate to defy feudal lords. However, the attitude of Sung Jung-tzu and Mo Tzu is to condemn warfare, not take part in violence, and be more forgiving. I also found it interesting that the text mentions that T’an-t’ai Tzu-yu seemed promising because of his outward appearance and eloquence, however, after actually associating with him, Confucius realized that his wisdom did not measure up and he had judged him wrongly, which goes back to the idea of not choosing someone based on their looks, outward appearance, etc. I also thought it was interesting that the text argues that wisdom is part of man’s nature and cannot be taught or something that you can receive from others.
