Only in this way can part-time scholars take it as their responsibility to promote the interests of the world and eliminate the harm of the world, regardless of each other, relatives, nobles, rich and poor.

3. In terms of educational content, Mozi not only advocates political and moral education, literature and history education, but also pays special attention to the education of scientific and technological knowledge and the education of cultivating thinking ability.

Compared with the "six arts" education advocated by Confucianism, this is an important creation of Mozi in educational content.
