The "Jesus-Mozi Dialogue" In The Revival of Mohism In The Republic Of China——Take Zhang Yijing, Wang Zhixin And Wu Leichuan As Examples

"Jesus-Mozi Dialogue" is an underflow in the revival of Mohism in the Republic of China. Since modern times, the intellectual circles have mostly taken Christianity as the "rational model" of Mohism. When it comes to the best reference for Christianity in traditional Chinese culture, Mohism is always used as an example, which has been discussed in the field of Mohism research. However, in the past, people still paid little attention to the church's view of the "Jesus-Mozi Dialogue" between Mohist School and Chinese Christians, which is a pity. This article attempts to discuss the various viewpoints of Zhang Yijing, Wang Zhixin, and Wu Leichuan on Mohism and "Mohist religion" as examples, and looks forward to giving a clear definition of the literature and the division of school attribution to the results of the "Jesus-Mozi Dialogue".

Interpretations of Mohism’s “Impartial Love” in the Republic of China: A Comparative Approach to Confucianism and Mohism

Since the reign of Qianlong and Jiaqing in the Qing dynasty, there have been signs of a resurgence of interest in Mohism. Intellectuals became particularly invested in Mozi’s teachings during the period of the Republic of China. “Impartial love,” the notion of equity advocated by Mozi, received the most attention. At the time, most discussions primarily attempted to respond to Mencius’s criticism of Mozi’s doctrine. Some scholars stressed Mohism’s high regard for filial piety and demonstrated persuasively that the concept of impartial love did not closely correspond to Mencius’s labelling of it as “disregarding one’s father.” Other scholars drew a distinction between Mozi and his disciples and identified only the latter as deserving of Mencius’s criticism. Some thinkers affirmed impartial love’s practical significance and saw it as a significant tool for condemning the autocracy and saving the country from imminent downfall. Others vehemently denounced the principle’s impracticability. A close look at these different trends can provide us with a better understanding of the different attitudes of intellectuals in the period of the Republic of China regarding Confucianism and the relationship between Confucianism and Mohism.

A Summary of Educational Scholars’ View on Educational Purpose during the Period of the Republic of China

By using literature data analysis, taking the views of educational scholars during the Republic of China as an entry point, selecting representative educational scholars from that period, studying the educational goals of those educational scholars, as well as summarizing and refining their educational concepts, it has been found that the focus was on the cultivation of a sound personality, the development of spiritual values, the cultivation of social responsibility, as well as the cultivation of national consciousness. These four aspects are consistent with the comprehensive development demands by the educational purposes of modern countries in terms of moral, intellectual, physical, artistic, and labor; they provide new supplements and impetus for the current educational purposes to cultivate effective people and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Technological Prospection with a Focus on Assistive Technology in Adapted Vehicles for People with Disabilities

This study aimed to review the production of patent documents related to assistive technology on adapted vehicles for people with disabilities. The technological prospection was carried out through a search on the Espacenet database, resulting in 277 patents whose data we organized into charts. The results show that the total number of patents filed in this area is small and with a limited increase over the years, maybe due to industrial secrecy. Twenty-eight countries registered patents. The Republic of China and the Korea Republic were the main depositors, while Brazil registered only one patent. They focused on people with a physical disability, so further projects to attend to other types of disability are also required. There is a necessity to increase government and private sectors investments for technological advances in this area.

From Gymnastics to Sports: The Sports Transformation of Wushu during the Republic of China Era

By using literature method and mathematical statistics method and reading the Wushu literature of the Republic of China, the transformation process of Wushu sports is sorted out. Under the background of internal and external troubles and “Western learning”, Wushu is regarded as a representative of local sports, with high expectations for a rich country and a strong country.
