"The school of Mohists probably arose from the office of the Clear Temple (Qingmiao). Thatched roofs and unhewn rafters—hence they valued frugality. Nourishing the Three Elders and Five Experienced Ones—hence they held universal love. Selecting gentlemen through the great archery contest—hence they elevated the worthy. Sacrificing to ancestors and revering fathers—hence they acknowledged ghosts. This is their strength."
