On the Logical Contribution of Mohist School in Qin State
This paper employs E-textual analysis and meta-research methods to discuss the logical contribu-tions of the Mohists in the state of Qin.E-textual analysis refers to the digitization of textual analysis,while meta-research refers to a comprehensive and transcendent study.The Mohists in the state of Qin were a branch of the Mohist school active during the late Warring States period.They were important contributors to Lü Buwei's compilation of the Lüshi Chunqiu.Invited by Lü Buwei,they participated in the writing and compilation of various articles,including Liwei,Yin Ci,and Bielei.They inherited and developed the logic of the"Mo Jing",marking the pinnacle of the discipline before it became a"lost art".This achievement has had a profound impact and is considered a significant event in the history of"Mo Jing"studies.The logical categories and principles presented by the Mohists in this context have positive historical,theoretical,and practical significance,deserving of preservation and promotion.
